Tell us what YOU think of the MAXX SLASH!
I like how Traxxas is doubling down on their super durable chassis such as the xrt a lower center gravity chassis like the xmaxx and not the max slash a lower center gravity to the maxx. For me I just think the performance is lack luster, I’ve seen how easily it flips & the way it jumps makes it feel like it’s a heavier rig than it actually is. Still won’t stop me from going out and spending $700 on it tho 😅
i for sure will be getting one… early april they will be in the uk. Nice vid guys 👍👍
More like the MASH
It will handle like a Brick..like Maxx 😄
Anything Traxxas sucks!
I feel like they missed an opportunity to call it the Slaxx.
🤣 that would be good
The raptor r should have been the maxx slash
Nailed it
I was thinking the Traxxas mash
Lol
I’ll stick to my Mojave 6s . This ain’t worth my money in my opinion . I didn’t like the maxx motor mount system , don’t want plastic driveshafts , don’t want slick tires , don’t want their electronics . Last but not least I don’t wanna upgrade like all my other Traxxas vehicles
I agree. I’ll probably still end up getting one but I feel that my Mojave 4s is still better lol.
@@rctd3260 I’ll get one only if I can get it for great price . I might just convert my maxx to one cause how terrible it handles compared to my other cars
good opinion, everyone prefers something different and thats what the hobby is all about right now
Get an aluminum servo saver, a good quality servo, and some arrma mojave 6s tires and your maxx will handle like a race buggy 🤟 (i actually hated my maxx until i did those mods, now i find my self enjoying it sooo much more)@Shellzwick
@@overdosed51 i got everything you named . I’ll try it
way overpriced for what it is
it really should be $629.99
@@3X7Outdoormaybe even 599.98
*_Turn it into a 6S XRT!_*
we aint do it rc
time for a maxx slash drag car build.
Just like our raptor r!
You recommend the truck, with an insane price tag without having driven it, and with so much negative experiences out there from people actually ran them, how is that?? In a world where only traxass exists I'm sure it would be fine. But, there are other options out there. Traxass doesn't have the die-hard fans like they used to, they will and do buy other brands and either of the Mojave are a better performer AND value. After watching actual running footage like Razer RC I would be very mad if I picked this up off your recommendations, just saying.
that's your opinion. are we supposed to make sure we tell everyone NOT TO BUY IT?
@@3X7Outdoor No, you are supposed to try it before recommending it. At least most people do that’s my opinion at least. The whole point of a video is so we can come to our own conclusions based on what you show. I’d recommend at least telling them to wait for the price drop like sledge had, since it was over priced and not selling. 🤷🏼♂️
this wasn't a review
@@3X7Outdoor definitely not a review that’s for sure. Just an opinion from someone that hadn’t ran it yet but suggested you go buy one. I’m curious if you paid for yours.
I had a mojave 6s. It was a beast! I'd say these will be super durable too.
Already got mine on pre order thanks for the update and stay safe
Thanks, you too!
Got mine and ran a couple of packs. I love it so far but we will see when the honeymoon ends and we get down to real business.
You guys have an excellent video format. Well thought out and great audio. It will be interesting to see how this truck does over the next year or so. It actually behaves more like a sct than I thought it would.
glad you enjoyed it!
Been a follower and first time commenting. Really enjoy your vids and the father/son sharing the same hobby. Nice editing, effects and well spoken from both dad and son. Subscribed.
thank you so much! glad to hear it
i love my Arrma Senton
great
Your montages are the best!🤩
Glad you like them!
I agree the Maxx Slash should have been launched as the Raptor R, I think Traxxas missed that opportunity. Curios to see what switching the Maxx Slash wheel and tyre combo over to the E Revo makes a difference performance wise. Nice comparision content though.
thank you! true that
Just bought the MOJAVE 4S and still have no regrets considering the prices involved. Just saying.
totally understand you there
It's awesome! I'm getting one. I have a Maxx V2 and it's amazing. I have a Slash Ultimate and it's amazing. They are both my most used RCs in my collection. A blend of both of those ... genius.
Right on! o
i can't wait to get mine! thanks for the great video as always ❤
Hope you enjoy it!
LOVE it. Went through the first set of tires pretty quick. got some Proline tires I'm tryin out now
Great to hear!
woow.. i m glad i found your channel. so entertaining.. subbed. keep those great videos coming guys. Maxx v1 with wide arms kit is hella stable. so much fun. and since a smaller Tub chassis like the Xmaxx. mini maxx is like the most durable RC right now. maybe you need to change the drive shafts and the spur to metal. but that s it. you are good..
we've almost never broken ours!
ours was the first on youtube and in america
Pick mine up Friday! Can't wait!
awesome! 😎
It's great when it polarizes.
true
Slash Maxx or UDR? I wonder what to buy, leaning towards UDR for the metal gear servo and larger suspension, but I don’t know for sure.
Didn’t watch the full video before commenting, thanks for the detailed review!
I would personally say the slash maxx is going to be your best option because it's going to be pretty easy and self-explanatory to work on and the Mod support is wonderful
Both will be great trucks but it depends on how you want to drive it, the udr with the solid rear axle is more of a scale experience but if you’re looking for something to just drive everywhere and jump and beat on the slash is probably better for you. Either are great it just depends on what you want to do.
great insight!
@@3X7Outdoor thanks! My brother has a udr and it’s awesome but I don’t think it’ll bash like the Maxx slash. I picked up the losi hammer rey a few weeks ago in the horizon blizzard sale and it’s very similar to the udr, and while it’s an awesome truck and I’ve really liked running it, it does not handle like my 1/10 slashs so I’d imagine the Maxx slash is like those but even more capable
Udr sucks so bad
Cause you can get either Mojave for less and have a way better rc. I love my trx4’s and my slash but yeah better brands for better bashers imo. Does look sweet I will save that but not worth the price tag
you're on board with everyone else
I can't wait to get my traxxas Maxx v2. Awesome video as always.
Thanks 👍
i think it looks really cool!
Not impressed just a nother slash rather buy a 1/5
good to know
finnaly someone my age reviewing rcs keep it up
haha thank you bro!
u guys are great, glad i found the channel.
Welcome aboard!
Nice quality
ok
I cant believe i walked into a hobby store told the guy to give me the most badass truck out and he sold me this pos
I got it put the spacers in the front and it leavals out the truck 4 buck upgrade worth it and better springs and it's a beast
For me it's the price, here in the UK its 759 but a max is 599
ouchh 😕
Best review out there. Bought a green one and iam so happy
thank you so much!
The music is awesome
Great video ! 👍
Glad you liked it!
My local hobby shop will be around $969 cdn before tax.
I'm not really seeing the value there, but I do love what traxxas has done.
Maybe they'll 'slash' the price haha
Where do you live? I paid. 699 plus tax.
@@ublk94gt Ontario, Canada
Mine will be here tomorrow , that pathetic servo , is out first off !! Good video guys !
it IS an xmaxx servo
If a regular slash is 1/10 how the hell is the maxx a 1/10😂
Just by comparison to the erevo 2.0
The revo isn't 10th scale either no matter what traxxas call it lol. It's 8th.
Very cool video , some nice editing
Glad you enjoyed
The erevo is 1/8th scale. The sledge is a 1/8th scale, and the erevo was the same wheelbase and same size wheels. It was a silly thing from the original erevo era when the 1/8th class wasn’t fully developed yet.
thanks for the info!
Hahah yes I got parts for my v1 maxx again lol I do t need to worry so much
nice!
I really like this hybrid, but I'm completely sold yet.. Is the motor mount better than the Maxx v1?
whats wrong with the one on the maxx v1
Much different. It now sits on a plate with pins in yhe bottom and has a cradle around it, as well as the screw in top corner of the motor plate.
It run great on 4s, it power slide very nicely
Yes it does!
probably one of my favorite cars that traxxas has released
same here!
I just got my maxx slash with the rock n roll body can't wait to rip should be dry tomorrow.
awesome!
Arguably with the scales it's the same as new omni terminator... called it 10 but more like 12 but it's bigger then some 12s I have... and your revo body is same size but wheel base way wider hense the size.... same as revo 3.3 vs hoss both 10 scale body's but the wheel base about double... but love the explanation and compassion dope vid
thank you for your insight!
Dunno if anyone has pointed this out or not already, but the lower suspension arms are NOT Maxx arms. They have their own part number and are a slightly different design. The upper arms however are V1 Maxx arms.
it's debatable because how much of a difference does it actually make
For me its just a maxx with a slash body and bumpers on it... its not a sct i guess you could say that about a lot of rc model variants adapted from the same core chassis but its not a slash even the name suggests its a Maxx..slash i think its viewed incorrectly by most but there's nothing wrong with a maxx with a slash body on it lol
good take!
I got one and sold.my maxx themax slash is insane bro
awesome!
Nice 👍🏾
Thanks 💯
I got mine yesterday!!
awesome
First time watching your videos don’t know if that older gentleman is your dad. I hope he is but I think it’s pretty cool how you guys decuss the vehicle back-and-forth.
yep he's my dad! glad you liked it!
Great video, It is a cool truck, What would it look like and how would it handle with the Maxx wide kit on it.
we were thinking the same thing! tires would probably not pass and rub on the body
The reason it's controversial is because it's handling, jumping is horrendous, servo and tires suck and it's priced like a premium vehicle which it definitely is not.
If you want one, recommend waiting a few months when the people who care about performance are selling theirs.
Should come with metal driveshafts that’s the only thing I can see ..👍👍👊🏻👊🏻
true!
I mean if the maxx is as you say nearly unbreakable then you'll never believe me when I say that I broke mine in one afternoon simply by hitting a curb and I broke the part in which the part number is 8932 on the front assembly and it's a serious pain in my butt but I will be getting the 8932X in the mail with is a blue aluminum variant to the part so I'll be able to get my slash fixed and ready for more stunts and stuff 😂
wild curb i guess 😂
Great vid, big fan! I grew up rcing with my dad! So we relate to your channel! Who’s going to be the first to throw a Widemaxx kit on the Maxx Slash? That should be interesting 🤔 lol.
i think "Do Rc" did something similar!
🔥🗣️
🗣️🔥
I like it but have the 4s Mojave already and the UK price is high
truth
Something I’ve noticed a long time ago is the fact that they call them “clipless” bodies. Maybe they should say “pinless” because like on the Maxx Slash even though there not hood pins they still use a “clip” system. Just a thought.💭
i mean true if we're being literal. maybe postless
@@3X7Outdoor I call them clipless too actually. Just something I noticed
good observation!
I feel like a 6s Rustler is Next‼️
🤫🤫
1/10 slash is truly 1/8 scale but the max slash looks like 1/7 scale never the less can't wait to get one
Awesome!
It's 1/8 if you convert it to a buggy, but trophy trucks are large in real life. The original Slash is 1/10 scale. Just do the math based on the real thing.
Great Truck, new subscribe from me
Controversial since its massively overpriced for what it offers, given the competition offers more for less the price
I hear the handling is worse
going to have to get one and tell us
Cant decide between this or a maxx for a rumbler.
tough one!
I have one they are bad ass
You can get a 6s kraton exb for $700, metal diff cases, metal chassis braces, shock towers, etc. How can they charge 700 for plastic. It handles bad and rolls like crazy. I don't understand, and plastic is good in some cases but you can't tell me plastic is the same price as aluminum. Not to mention Traxxas electronics are garbage
Buying my friends maxx for 300, still want a maxx slash but not right now.
hope you like it
@@3X7Outdoor so far, it goes way faster than I thought it would.
nice!!
It’s controversial because Traxxas leaked it themselves just to bring hype…
😬🙊
Good video fellas. I have a Slash, always wanted a Maxx and now this. Traxxas really knows how to keep the Rc heads coming back lol
Yes they do
I like this truck. I would consider buying it if it didn’t come with such ugly graphics. Not sure why Traxxas doesn’t make it look like a real truck with sponsor decals on it and such. I hate all those wedge like stripes. It makes it look toyish. Hopefully it will come in a builder’s kit with a clear body.
theres are green and blue and red bodies
Traxxas builds disposable rc cars , just a bunch if bathers to be sold broken on marketplace a year later
I like mine . Better handling looks and price isnt too bad . It's alot like my maxx. My arrma 4s mojave can't hold anything on this vehicle
good to know
Thx 😊
I have the ultimate slash 4x4
yall should have wayyyyy more subs, awesome video, as per usual
Much appreciated!
It looks really awesome and tuff but the $700 price tag you don't even get a motor fan or Bluetooth module but you get all of the sensor's WTH Traxxas ??????????
true, its pretty spendy
Hello.. I heard that "Shock Extender" won’t work with Maxx V2 arms.. can you guys please check that???
we'll see if we can get ahold of them
@@3X7Outdoor Okay thanks.. please do check on Maxx V2 arms
@@smitheshn6637will do
uploaded just now!
do the maxx slash droop things work on a widemaxx? #rccar #traxxas #youtubeshorts #questionanswer
The ride height is wrong on those shocks.
The arms have to be level or lower than center, never above center.
All this talk about double the power doesn't mean anything when the driving conditions are 30mph at most.
Allow me to remind you that the Velineon 3500KV is so powerful it will break its shaft right off if you get crazy.
this isn't the 3500 kv
@@3X7Outdoor I wasn't implying that it was.
It's controversial because they made yet another vaguely scaled short course truck that doesn't belong on a racetrack instead of giving us a basher proof summit version 2 that they sued arrma over for making a better version called the nero.
thats a good take on it
I will never understand why folks say clipless body then push 4 clip release buttons to detach the body 🤷
just what traxxas calls it lol, pinless or postless would be a better term i suppose
I think I'd like it more if it was the Raptor R. Maybe the licensed body would make the price more acceptable. Having both Mojave 6s and 4s this isn't something I'm gonna buy but as a Ford guy i might if it was the Raptor. The running videos I've seen it doesn't seem to jump or handle very good. Again, more forgivable for a "scale" truck. I have a SBR 2.0 that doesn't jump or bash great but i love the truck. I wish this was the Xmaxx slash. Then I'd have one on preorder. A SBR 2.0 sized sct basher? Yes please. $1000 plus, no problem. Because then there is no alternative, much less a less expensive awesome options like the Mojave duo. Oh well. I'm sure Traxxas will survive without my business. Maybe Arrma will make a 8s Mojave or Losi would be just as good. For the record the clipless body is a negative for me. I get enough exercise chasing my Xmaxx and putting the body on after every crash. I prefer archaic body pins that actually hold the body on. Clipless is great for scale rigs or crawlers but not great for bashing.
I totally understand what you mean about chasing your X-Maxx body when it fall falls off 🤣 good take!
That is a 1/8th scale truck as well as the erevo the slash in 1/10 and is still on the the bigger side of 1/10
erevo was called 1/10th
We got some in where i work already, its an alright truck but not worth $700. It just drives like a big slash. Loves to roll over way too much. Youre much better off getting a normal maxx. All the cons of the slash come with this thing.
good to know!
Arrma
💪
Scale is just math. 1/8 would equal a 16.5 inch wheelbase if using the original 1/10 Slash as a base.
good to know
It comes stock with a wheelie bar?!?!? 🤢… but looks great in general
yes it does 🙄
Too good? Lol. Traxxas fans are just brainwashed.
The Mojave has been doing it better for less for years now. Lol.
This thing doesn't exist compared to the Mojave.
we'll have to see over time since we don't have a mojave
Great video I think it was better then MSM
thank you 🤣
Can we stop using clip less.
The old style is post and pin.
This is a hidden four clip system.
The maxx was a cool truck but I just thought it handled like shit. I tried new springs but just didnt vibe with it. Though I didn’t try 1M center fluid like my erevo. By far the erevo is the best truck traxxas has made. Least maintenance I’ve had to do on any RC.
wow, thats really surprising to hear since ours breaks literally every time we drive it 😳
@@3X7Outdoor it’s driveline is all very similar to the maxx. All gears are similar (not identical though) but upgrading the bearings within the gearbox to ceramics makes a massive improvement in reliability
Should of named it the slash X or maybe the maxx S
X slash sounds cool but wouldn't work. its not an X truck
The price. That’s why
agreed
Looks like it needs more suspension travel. Just doesn't look as realistic as the Mojave 4s.
i mean, its not a udr
Price needs to come down. $649 at least. Then they can bring the UDR back down to 699.
totally agree
Traxxas Maxx slash I see why they call it that.because it's bigger then the original slash.
yep
It only has 1 problem i can see. Its a traxxas.
I take the big rock 6s over this or the Mojave and I'm a Traxxas guy that is tough for me to say I feel like Traxxas is dropping the ball. Honestly every single new truck should be equipped with front and rear tail LED lights 2024 my son's Amazon special has front and rear lights and it was under a hundred bucks with the push of a button on the remote the receiver. Used trucks are 700 plus dollars up to 1500 for the ultimate x-maxx and they still have yet to put LED lights on them from the factory what a joke
XRT
yep
For me I'd rather have a udr..
valid
