Glad you are getting it lined out!
Thanks me too now its actually enjoyable
I just started watching this video… wanted to say that I knew you wouldn’t let me down on a late night release🤙🏻… us night owls. 🦉 gotta stick together
Scott you should post some Rc Ved,that be dope.
I started with traxxas almost 10 years ago with a vxl rustler, called customer service and they treated me like I was a piece of garbage, had to put a lot of money into it just for it to run more than 15 minutes without something breaking, about a year later, went with the V3 Arrma Talion and never looked back at traxxas, so I feel ya, they just need to stick to the street and crawling world, Losi ,Tekno, Arrma, for me 🤘
Wow that long ago I guess they were about the only name in the game offering rtr stuff Tamiya was a model you had to assemble. There is a lot of competition now they need to wake up even a loyal customer like me owning 7 traxxas cars feels burned by them tell me its my driving I replace bad parts wow it actually drives now and I tell them the gyro is bad I swapped it out and it works they still demand I do their stupid reset then want to mail them the transmitter and receiver at my cost its 40 bucks retail for a new one!! Horizon would just send out a new one no problem. I am unboxing a new rc today and will be working on that video all I can say its not a Traxxas lol
10yrs ago it really wasn’t any different, loads of RTRs were available. Traxxas, HPI, Duratrax, Losi & others were all offering RTRs
@M14armorer yea man, my very very 1st was a Helion Criterion 2wd off road buggy
@L2theWcarscoffeelife I feel they suckered in the youth 1st and that way it's easier to force them to upgrade
Ok I watched it to the end and here you are talking about the servo-saver!! Awesome! And I agree with you tuning them shocks bro..
Now the major problem is fixed time to dial it in
Looks a lot better
Thank you very much I hope you saw the videos I used your parts I need a sticker for my bench great products and thank you for watching,
Awesome rundown, ordering my mojave 6s next week check that Ved out ,im super pumped, take care God bless.
Shim the diffs tighter when it comes
Very happy you have debugged it some. TSI issue well that's another issue, Still The Fan and heat sink should have been standard issue. Adjusting the oil in the shocks is a minor thing and a personal preference, Over all a way better car now. Enjoyed watching
Thank you very much I checked the whole tsi is broke I swapped recievers and it worked fine Traxxas wants the transmitter and reciever mailed to them.
Glad you was able to improve it. Regarding the trim issue my experience was near opposite. It'd go straight accelerating usually but start pulling on decel. Braking was a mixed bag and did everything except go straight consistently. Also felt like i was either fighting the tsm constantly or it was just doing nothing. There wasn't much predictable or consistent about it. It is tough at least.
I have heard that from others too my braking was not bad it wants to pull on take offs apparently my tsm is dead I think it would glitch on for a second I swapped out the reciever after this and it works now. The servo saver being so loose it just lets the tires wander you cant keep them straight
Larry new steering servo and servo saver for the win. Jeff in LA USA
Sad Traxxas didn't figure out and it needed to be fixed but its running great now
Awesome channel. Don't let the negative comments bother you. I get the same thing. It about having fun and giving information at the Sametime.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the positive support
I put the mini maxx springs on the front that took care of the rubbing problem!
Good info I will look into that
Get part 10234 and put them out front. It’s the rear shock extensions. It levels out the truck and makes it handle and jump far better. It’ll fix most the issues you’re having. Also turn your tsm almost completely off.
Already have it coming lol tsm is off its completely broke except I think it glitches I swapped receivers and it works now
I'm glad its working better for you. I wonder if the pulling to the left could be a little torque steer.
Thank you I think its a faulty gyro its not responding at all every now and then it makes a wierd left turn I did notice on the app when I set the steering sensitivity the tsi made a wierd movement then went back like I got to see the glitch happen I have a new reciever in it I need to try
I put the Traxxas #8967 springs in the front and back and I think it made the truck handle much better.
if your wanting to see if theTQI or the AVC is working. leave the front wheels on the ground and wiggle the back end, back and forth, and observe the wheel movement. you can't see it doing it the way you're doing it.
I already swapped out recievers and it worked just fine the way I was doing it the wheels must be spinning on a Traxxas to work cant do that on the ground!
Looks like you have it driving pretty good!.. what state are you in the weather looks great even have green leaves lol
Thanks it feels like a whole different rc now down in the Sunshine state its been warm things are blooming
4s Mojave case I didn't specify between it and the 6s one
I think you’ll be so much happier if you went demaxx kit that and “monster slash” it. Basically put the next size tire up on it and cut those fenders. There videos showing how to monster stuff se the slash’s
I am happy with it now I like the way it looks with the tires tucked in.
Traxxas has done this so often its not funny. Release a car, then let the community of owners find out what or where the weakest link is in the design. Its not your driving. These RTR are set up to run at a very basic level. Servo saver and a stronger steering servo absolutely. And then depending where and how you drive it, tune the shocks and get some sway bars if your wallet allows it. I remember watching another video where it was suggested to put another set of risers for the shocks on the rears, on the front as well. All though it looks like you might have it sorted already. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the positive comment. I ordered that part lol. I have another video coming where I took it off the rear to see what it does. I haven't really had problems out of Traxxas except when my Sledge came out of the box with the antenna cut they didn't care part was backordered I had a usless brand new car. Pretty sad I went online ordered one so I could use my car. This time I put in a new receiver tsi works they still want me to send in all my equipment for testing. Its b.s. mail my equipment for testing be out the rc its a cheap part only has 30 day warranty its pathetic
As I’m laying her eating a Publix bakery almond bear claw and watching your video I noticed something that I thought I would tell you about. I think that your servo-saver or something connected to it is too loose… just an observation… I watch when you are going into a turn… it’ll be all smooth and then BOOM! The tires break loose in whatever direction you are turning in and the tires grip and you go tumble wumble 😬😬… just check it out. Might help
Probably me going full throttle to slide it out of the turn lol gotta love the Publix bakery!
The TSI kicks in when you apply throttle , lift the truck hit the throttle and them move the truck , good luck
I know that thanks when you bind a remote it gets disabled something Traxxas was clueless about blinking light on the receiver its off steady green its on. When its blinking like mine was nothing turns it on.
Can you share heat sink info. I have been unsuccessfull finging one for this motor. Thanks, Brother
Most stuff I use can be found in my Amazon store here is the direct link to the heat sink with fan I have this on a couple of vehicles and so far so good it moves a lot of air and clips on no motor removal and I have tumbled the car never had it come off.
amzn.to/4aexkLG
I mean come on, 700 rig and no metal driveshafts and can't even up the pinion without messing with the spur😅
I’ve watched your videos since you bought the MS and now it seems like you fixed the issues! No thanks to Traxx-ass! Looks like it’s driving like it should have out of the box! It’s sucks when a truck is already over priced and you still have to purchase $150 worth of parts to get it right! But it’s honest guys like you that call out a big company that helps the rest of us, the consumer, make the decision to buy this truck or not! I’m not a Traxxas guy myself and I don’t hold it against anyone who is. As long as you’re having fun that’s all that matters! Just sucks they treated you like that! Frankly Horizon would send you a whole new TX/RX for your troubles. Maybe try putting a Spektrum radio and receiver in it to see if it still turns on it own. Thanks for the video! It should help others fix the truck’s issues!
Thank you very much yeah I got called all kinds of names for mentioning this despite raving about my other Traxxas cars. Like you said you watch the video and make up your mind I just show it driving I was really expecting good things out of it I dont buy rc cars then smash them in big jumps for views. I keep it honest I swear people didnt watch this video just jumped on how rc cars flip and I cant drive wow watch the video did I improve overnight lol? Its driving better its what I expected out of the box anyone can see the tires moved way too easily usually you move the servo when you turn a wheel these were flopping around. Problem is way too many people just jump cars straight line stuff not many like me that actually drive them on the ground thats where it showed its flaw with the steering even rc guy garage said the trim was whacked and lazer rc said something everyone tells them ohh you can drive I know its the rc lol no pass for me ohh well I stand behind my work no objective here to promote one brand over another just honest opinion as to what I see and try to help people make a decision,
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife well just know that I’m not the only one who appreciates what you do for the RC community! Thanks again brother!
is you receiver lights green,if is lighting red,that means that the tsm is off and you have to push the receiver button for about 5 seconds and then the light goes green,that enables tsm.when you switch many models with one remote,sometimes the receiver swithes tsm off for no reason.
Its green but good info I did not know that
You were mostly right the light is a flashing green its off steady green its on hold the button down for 2 seconds it turns red until you let go then its set. I did that and somehow this xmaxx servo doesnt like it at all just shakes and stuff its damn shame thats the 1 thing traxxas never asked.
Where you get the motor fan
On Amazon here is the link
amzn.to/3V7eLDQ
What fan and heatsink is that?
Its all one unit got it off of Amazon amzn.to/3vsD6Kv
We're did you get the heatsink from?

@@L2theWcarscoffeelife thank you so much!!
glad to help @@theecheesyshark
Traxxas is blocking all the feedback comments for the Maxx slash on Instagram lol
Ohhh wow I dont feel bad for them they jumped too fast put cheap parts in an expensive rc thier answer loosen the front springs so it sits on the ground I was a loyal customer until this mess
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife oh I don’t feel bad, I know traxxas sucks as a company they have some great “ platforms” I say platform because the electronics always suck, they have smaller companies that people like to call bad such as redcat outdoing them in the electrical comparntment, if you seen the new 1/5 they made it comes with a max 6 and it’s around the same price as the Maxx slash 😭. Traxxas customer support is also insanely bad for how popular they are compared to horizon support where they will fix or send you a new part for free within 2 weeks or take your feedback and actually listen to it
I never had a problem with anything Horizon hobby when the big rock had the glitch they sent me a esc never asked for the old one thats a lot of money traxxas wants my transmitter and receiver I pay to ship no way!! A viewer told me to check the light on the receiver he was right in a way it was blinking no tqi steady light tqi active how the hell they didnt know that no my problem is with tqi turned on the servo shakes like its having seizures makes no sense its the h.d. maxx servo it should work I was tempted to put the spektrum receiver in it but the box is too small go figure lol I appreciate the support
If you bind to new transmitter it turns off tsm you have to turn back on through app
Doesn't work like that app only adjusts it
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife then the way to tell if tsm is off is if receiver is blinking red when on and you hold button on receiver till it beeps and turns green it is now on
@troylitvinow8233 this has already been covered and fixed by now thank you anyways for the info and it doesnt blink red it blinks green its off solid its on there is no red light thats probably on some older stuff
Your receiver also may need to be updated When I go into garage on app under tsm I can turn on and off
But in the end whenever you bind different transmitter to traxxas receiver if goes tsm off by default blinking red light on receiver and has to be turned back on.
I had one Traxxas, with gyro, I put the receiver in backwards, I took it spun it around and it worked. I'm not sure, it might be in there flopping around, if you have removed it and I'm not saying anything about you don't know what you're doing I'm just telling you what my self experienced, it also went along slower in reverse with it oriented incorrectly in the receiver box, just throwing that out there, I have no idea if it's been removed or not but just trying to offer you some direction on the gyro
I found the issue it will be coming up in a video I just filmed. A viewer pointed me in the right direction wrong info lol it got me looking the light blinks on the receiver tsi is off press the set button until it turns red then the light is steady tsi is on. The question is how does Traxxas not know this? They had me do all these resets then said mail both transmitter and receiver in at my cost
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife man I'm telling you, I don't know much about TRAXXAS, I would drive anyone if them bad by any company but I won't give TRAXXAS my money for anything, they are so rude, kinda like the snobs in school or the cool kids that we had to beat up so they quit staring at us at the lunch table in the mess hall lol. Glad you got it figured out, sorry you had to learn how TRAXXAS feels about the folks that made them. Hell in my opinion, veterans outta get discount with a AARP card or something from atleast one of the many companies lol, hell I still couldn't afford many, like I said I've built many what I have or got it used. I've been really wanting to start saving up and buying parts here and there for a big rock 6s , do you have a opinion with a good choice or not, I drive pretty much just like you! I'm almost done getting parts for the outcast 4s v2. 5, then I'll be starting on slowly buying parts for the next one. I just want one big girl ya know,
Garage life rc has a Veterans discount and they sell Corally and a bunch of parts. Traxxas for the most part makes some really nice durable cars. The customer service sucks I was about to get the new boat they released after having one guy tell me there was nothing wrong with the mutt it was too powerful and another telling me to mail in my stuff screw them I have something else coming. I am not a big company I do buy a lot of stuff and probably will end up buying again for the channel but it will be limited I though this was interesting enough I bought it. Traxxas will loose market share quick they keep rehashing the same crap with shiny parts and call it ultimate while never fixing any real issues. Kmart thought they were too big so did Sears people only stay loyal so long. The big rock is a blast I need to drive mine just been busy with all the new stuff. It can jump a little its a great street car or ripping through the dirt and grass its one I always recommend if the person is not into big air then I would say the Kraton would be the one. I actually like the factory tires being a bit slick it makes power sliding on the street possible also helps with traction roll overs its a fun rc for sure
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife never heard of that company, what did you order? The omi terminator?
@@PtsdRC its a possibility 🤐 they have been around I think they mostly made speed cars
Have you got a Mojave 4s? They in my opinion and from everything I've watched put that thing on latrine detail lmfao 😅😆
I dont have a Mojave at all I do have a Kraton 4s and its a great rc. Now I have this running good its fantastic the 6s power shows but its unfortunate Traxxas didnt do anything but drop all pressure from the front springs to hide how bad it drove. Seriously how hard would it be for them to redesign the servo saver so it would actually hold the wheels straight? Maybe just a new spring I dont know when you can turn the wheels and it doesnt even try to move the servo there is something wrong. It sucked out of the box with a servo and servo saver it rips. It still has issues with tires hitting something they should have found before release as well as the body just throws everything in the chassis like a trash can at least the Mojave has that insert in the body to shield everything and my Kraton has extended flares behind the wheels to keep dirt out and works very well
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife id still put the 4s against that 6s, it's much more enjoyable to drive, plus it geared right, it might just make that TRAXXAS 6s power system look bad lmfao, I like to talk shit, just bsn , you know how it is when you are hurry up waiting with the guys, lol plenty of time to be with everyone. I e been out for a long time, I signed the dotted line at 18,did 4 on active, 7 in the reserves, honorable discharge from both. I'm bout 40 now, but I grew up fast, it was 2003 or 4 when I signed up. I'm glad I found a veteran channel to support. I'm trying to get a channel going but I got like one or two good videos, I got to get the gear, go pros and stuff, then I'll do build videos , from a pile of parts lol. I have a big rock 3s, I have a 130 amp ESC spectrum smart Firma ESC, 1900kv spectrum brushless motor, I use the one smart battery I have, on 3s , I've also put the Metal diff's in it , 4s shocks on it, anyway I can full trigger it and it'll just jump off the ground on 3s lol, I don't know what it'll do when I get a 4s battery, I gotta chill down the gearing in it, Metal pinion and spur is 55 tooth instead of 57 , that makes a big difference on the spur , just dropping a few teeth vs going up on the pinion, lol, but it's so cool to watch, it hwsca locker instead of a slipper, it'll literally, raise the front uo and the back tires just launch it into the air, i don't do i it much, lol. Man when I get me one then gps analyzer things I'll know more about the speeds it'll reach, I got belted tires, I just haven't put them on yet, gotta get some longer adapters, they are the proline belted trenchers with the interchangeable hexs on it, I got to get some longer ones. I also have a senton, it's pretty badass too , it's not built to the degree of the big rock, but it's got 120 amp Quicrun ESC and 3660 3200 Quicrun brushless motor, you can be on dry pavement and at half trigger it'll smoke the tires if you pull it open hehe, boy I love this hobby, I'm fairly new to it but I like to build them, that's as fun as driving. Going to get a granite roller today hopefully if it works out, then all I'll need is a vorteks lol, I guess I'm a arrma guy, but I'll drive anything, it's all fun, just mostly experience in building the arrma one's, has a two TRAXXAS and when I had em I liked them, a rustler and a slash, nothing to them but when I bought a box of parts they would make two almost complete 3s arrma rigs I was hooked, then I learned about Traxxas by them placing lawsuits on everyone, getting people TH-cam channel shut down by some copyright vs or something, they got back but just doing it to be a ass because the damn channels were trying to make them look good and it's not justified. Sorry I babbling, have a good day
Thats how Traxxas tries to stay in business sue everyone. I like the cars I have but the Warranty is crap 30 days electronics that is it maybe if your lucky and a part breaks they might fix it where Horizon hobby has 2 years even Team Corally a much smaller company than Traxxas has 1 year. The hobby is fun and addicting the mutt max is faster it has more power I dont know how the Mojave jumps I saw a few videos it seems to be about the same as the mutt maxx they are ground trucks they do small jumps. The 4s Kraton and Outcast they will jump and love it the 6s Kraton wow the power to weight is outstanding I accidently cleared that big valley of concrete that drainage ditch with it I measured it once I think it was 40 ft!! 6s is bigger than 4s the smaller is fun more nimble and still fast every rc is a bit different thats why I have so dang many lol I am enjoying it from boats to planes cars trucks I am having a good time
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife I'm sticking by , the videos of the 4s Mojave was out doing the 6s Mojave From what I've seen and Earl Moorhead is a great mechanic on these and real size vehicles he usually pulls out them Traxxas systems and puts in max 5 or sixes or something, I saw I put the factory ESC back in just so he could have lights which I didn't understand that but he's very professional sure I say because I would have got one in light bars off valley Express and ran that joker to that fan connection on that ESC and kept fire from there ran to the receiver and got it I'm just not impressed with traxxas's power systems and like you say they're warranty 30 days pretty much let you know or it does me that they don't have much confidence in it yeah it might run like hell but I don't think it'll run like an arrma lmfao. All bullshit aside I'm glad you enjoyed the mutt Maxx I guess that's what you nicknamed it? Again I'm pretty new to your channel I went back last night and watched some older ones so I'm still catching up on what you got and what you don't got but I'm here from now on out
@@PtsdRC Guess who has Earls old XRT? The one he almost burned down putting in an esc lol
Strange that exocaged launched his like 30 and did a back flip and landed just fine? I bought one launched mine the same also practiced throttle control and I flipped 1 time in like idk 18 battery packs. Every rc car rolls bud. Try driving your pickup down the road at 75mph and crank the wheel you may be suprised.
Strange your comparing jumps to actually driving the fact you claim to jump this explains why you dont grasp the concept of what is going on bud. Pickup? I drive real cars bud.
Did you even watch the video before your comment? Strange it drove fine no flipping.
Just throw in hobbywing esc and motor combo and see how it does. Traxxes electronics are junk.
Wouldn't say its junk although the gyro is dead lol definitely not the best but esc is expensive to keep swapping out I have one in my XRT definitely stronger I can back flip it with the factory tires now.
Change the oil of the suspension
To what?
Why?
Mesa body roll on the curves
@joseaugusto-vd9vg oil is not stopping body roll you tell my change oil to what 100 weight 30 weight what came factory? Spring rates too high? Your making comments do this nothing as to why what the result would be why?
so much tuning for 700 bucks car that's insane. that's just a bad product and there's nothing to say about it
I also dont get this brand loyalty stuff with this company man. if it was arrma you didnt have to say stuff like "its not i dont like arrma" f those fan boys man
@idan678 Horizon has won me with thier warranty any issues I have not had a problem getting parts. The gyro is dead in this contact them despite telling them this transmitter is bound to all my Traxxas cars they want the tuning crap done I do that now at my cost mail the transmitter and reciever to them for review its 40 bucks! Only for 30 days how many parts can you warranty in a pathetically short period to justify this? Probably cost them 10 bucks I swapped it out and the gyro works they keep acting like thier crap doesn't sink Arrma keeps pushing out better cars they will be out of business! 700 bucks and its defective like you said the fan boys refuse to accept it I like Traxxas but a problem is a problem thank you for watching and the comment
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife that's insane! Thank you for comment and I can't get why people follow so blindly a company that almost destroy this hobby a few times and they are still happy to spend a fortune on defective products🤯 I hate stuff that this company does, although I do have maxx and I like it for its durability and reliability (not electronic tho), but man it handle like brick, a 4s kraton will eat this car alive (I also got typhon 6s and kraton 6s)
I defended Traxxas to a point I love the rc's I have but I am honest I feel this one has problems so I share it if its not a concern than great all I do is share my experience and right now its not good. I have all the same cars lol I enjoy them a lot for the money the 4s Kraton is hard to beat is tough and damn fast too! The 6s Kraton is part plane its my favorite jumper it just goes so far so easily its a blast and the Typhon is insane on 6s I run it on 4s at the rc track and its amazing.
Hello.
Hello my friend
