I just got this Maxx yesterday! Installed the widemaxx kit and put 50wt in the front I am loving it.
17mm hex's are definitely a good upgrade but it looked a wee bit odd with those existing axles sticking out the centre. Great info!
Great video sir. I love it when people speak clearly and concisely. I just purchased my Maxx and I can't believe how much I love it. Keep up the good work. You just earned yourself a subscriber!!! 😎
Just bashed my MAXX today with the 40/50 shock oil as you suggested. Very nice! Thank you sir 👍🏻. Also tried out my rustler today with 60 oil front & rear and that worked really well. Car still handles really well, less bounce and got rid of allot of that nasty body slap...
Great info as usual can't wait to get mine and upgrade
Great info & demo's fella. 👍🏿
Great to see another peninsula RC enthusiast using the shell jumps in Foster City!
greg do contact us via the driftomaniacs facebook page
Good stuff sir. Curious to see how you like the shock oil change. Thanks for sharing.
Great vid... lots of work went into this one.
Ritchie you do some of the most honest and entertaining videos out there, even for someone who’s deserted the sinking ship called the 🇬🇧 😂
I’m learning so much. My wife’s getting a bit fed up hearing RC car reviews every time I pick my iPad up but I can live with that......
As long as she doesn’t find out my master plan to swamp every spare inch of the house with kit! X
David thanks so much for this comment it makes it all worth while, hoping the damn awful rain has eased there a bit. I watch the election/brexit developing from afar with horror. Likewise people watching TV about the USA in the UK probably can't believe what's going on here. Stay safe! Are you getting new RC's for XMas?
Lol, rc cars for Christmas? We don’t spend much on each other for Christmas as we also have to get presents for our two daughters and Husbands and four grandchildren. It would be very costly. We’re happy to know that Jesus is the best gift of Christmas. And God gave him for free.
I have my new Arrma Senton 3s 4x4 blx and Joy gave me £50 towards it, I know it’s a little old fashioned but all of our 40 years of marriage I’ve had pocket money. I’m no good at housekeeping so it works better for me. I currently get £40 a week, if I want to buy anything it comes out of that likewise if I need to save it comes out of that.
That’s why I’m currently saving for my batteries but I have the Arrma Typhon 6s v4 in my sights as well as others.
It’s still very cold and damp here, not seen the sun for ages it seems and the ground can take no more water but thank the Lord we haven’t had a big deluge of rain, just short showers and drizzle.
Regards Dave x
Nice tips Richie!
Number 4, bearings for the wheelie bar wheels, for some reason it makes the car wheelie longer 👍🏼
Great mods nice video
Great video. I hope proline makes a wheel that will work soon. I like the taller sidewall of those badlands for off road bashing. The stock tires have too much grip on pavement already IMO. I think the wheels you put on would be sweet if you could space them out about a half inch, should add to the stability.
Thanks for the video. Great info
You welcome sir
Great advice
Does the Traxxas "wrench" you have in your hand fit in the Maxx wheels? My wrench from my E-Maxx doesn't and a craftsman 17mm socket is very tight. Any help appreciated. Thanks for all your great videos.
Shock oil change looked better cool test thanks 🙏
Great video, but we need part numbers to your mods !!!
Great video brother I just got one great advice
Glad to hear it
As always great tips man. Would you have any recommendation for the Arrma Karton and also are you thinking of getting the new Arrma. Can’t wait she hopefully will be in the uk soon
That’s for the great vids
The Kraton is about the one arrma I've not owned, that said I'd hold fire as the big arrma announcement looks like a Kraton XL!
When clicking the Powerhobby belted tire link above it clearly is a different tread than in your video. I figured out it must be the Powerhobby raptor series.
What compound are you using in video?
I fitted a set of Traxxas Talon Sportyraxx 5.75x3.5/3.8. Will comment how it does after I run it later today. Slight bit of body rub in the back, so that could be an issue.
They rubbed on the body and on the suspension. I have paddles for it, just need snow.
Hi there , great video, subbed , are those wheels 3.8 “
Will these work with the wide kit upgrade?
Hi, Does the 4S battery you've recommended above fit the Maxx? Also, I just saw a vid where Traxxas have released whats known as a widemaxx kit , It increases the track by 20 mm on each side. So you might be able to use those tyres after all :-) and maybe corner like a Kraton
I subscribed because of your checked Vans.....Just kidding, great informational video. Just bought one for my wife as I have a Xmaxx. Thank you for the information!
I've over 20 pairs!!! I'd also recommend the wide maxx kit as a great upgrade!
How much the car come up to,after changing everything what needs to be change for it to last longer?!?!
omg man) Our old place in Foster.... where do you drive now? I also have Maxx, but it died yesterday.... hope to fix it soon
how 2 change shock oil.....im xperimenting w shox lower bolt local more angle...
Would have liked to have seen how it handled with the shock oil change with the standard tyres, then again after the tyre change. You showed how it drove after the tyre change but not after the shock oil change.
The e revo 1st gen has plus 10 mm hex that fit and give it a half inch more width to improve stability.
cheers for that Rob I will look into those tonight. Can you still get them online? All help appreciated
@@DriftomaniacsRC they're hot racing part number ERV10X60. I got them at nankin hobby in southgate mi., I think you can get them online. You have to cut the threaded ends of the axle to 8.5 mm from the hex to fit the barrel nut on . Or try part number ERVt10w.
Sir a little off topic but can I put the 2085 in the maxx with the grove part of the servo facing up
If you watch the slo mo a few times it looks like the thinner stock oils looked like it did a better job as the car never bounced it just stopped thud that’s it no after movement either
I think that’s better and I’ve been doing a real long test on jumping and how forward momentum can stop the chassis from hitting the ground doing a bigger jump by far
Beside a test of simple dead weight falling and how much it takes to get chassy slap
It’s a perfect science I swear and I was always the kid in the back of the class left to doodle lol 😆
Good testing is always great even epic to do
Someone has to 😀👍
Sure glad you do to good job dude good video 🙂🤘
Do the old plastic hexes break?
(springs recommendation) Hi. Man, I'm sad. I can't find stiffer springs for Maxx. I just want to do big jumps without hitting the chassis. I live in Brazil and I can't take the risk of buying expensive springs that don't work the way I want. Can you recommend me any? You have many RC car models, is there any other models that the springs are compatible with Traxxas Maxx 4S? It helps me to look it up on the internet.
Whats the part number for the 17mm hex ??
Hey man great video. I just got the powerhobby belted tires for my maxx. I only have one issue at the moment and it is that they wobble. I am still running the stock wheel nut with blue washer. do you think upgrading to proper 17hexx hubs should fix the issue?
Yes I would say so, I had a little wobble as well thinking about it
Where are the tires ? Bang good ships to USA?
A list of parts would be great I just bought one cheers
Chris Dix i second that!
We need a parts list(hyperlinks) please
Ballooning isn't always a bad thing. Some people act like if a tire balloons it's a sign the tires are no good. For extreme bashing I the softer a tire the better.
Isn't the second drop bouncing back up more, which i would think is worse , if doin a big jump bouncing back up will be worse
Yes the Rebounce seems higher, but the Chassis is not hitting the Floor anymore. It could help to soften the Springs a bit more.
Those look like the 2.8 badlands. The 3.8 should fit on that without any issues.
Hey how did you adjust your shock absorbers from the height?
I've not adjusted them on this car. you can use the preloaded spacers on the shocks to change the ride height though
Whats the connector you have to hook up to the Maxx for the xt60 battery?
These batteries come with the universal adapters giving you xt60 to deans/traxxas etc
👍👍
are you using a particular brand of oil in 40/50 or any oil will do?
Any will do
Please list of parts with part numbers can’t find the hex’s anywhere
5353X
I got the hot racing +10mm hex adapters they work great
They bolt down using the axle shaft and there isn't any left showing
Hey I got a question, can the maxx do 2s batteries ??
Yes you can use 2x2s
Hi I can't believe that truck like 500 bucks that's insane for a truck
How long the barry last on tham?
now that's an open ended question as a lot depends on the gearing and how YOU drive it! It doesn't come with a battery although a 5000mah pack should be good for 20 mins, hope that helps a bit!
Anyone tried 17mm 3.8 proline wheels/tires?
Aaron I've done a 4 way tire test on this. The MX 28's don't fit, I'll try the 3.8's I have when I get chance to take the gearing down a bit but Do not but the 28's they fit on but as much as I love my prolines they foul on the suspension
no mention of the widemaxx kit? what the heck lol
Pay attention boy! As in when this video was shot!!!
Where is the link for the tires?
Where is the link for any of these mods?
Anyone looking for the links, skip all the BS ads from Banggood (don't buy from this place lmao) as well as the batteries and servos links and they're the last 3 links at the bottom.
I was looking for it also.🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
i didnt see the link for the tires
Apologies I thought it was up, that said when I've checked on powerhobby.com they currently are showing out of stock. I'll keep an eye on the site over the next few days
belted tires just feels wrong..its heavy and takes the fun out of your car
Number 1 is totally useless. Much better to upgrade to the metal driveshafts and splined hubs with proper wheel nuts. That's just thickening a too thin shaft just for better wheel fitment just moving the stress a step back. Besides it looks bad.
OMG!! 🤦
Maxx tires suck blew mine out after 2 weeks
It's all on how you drive. I've never blown a tire on any off my rcs an I would call myself a medium basher. Check the beads an glue as needed too
600 for all plastic. Just get the arrma kraton
but this plastic bounces back into shape, does the Kraton 8S chassis bounce back into shape?
