I have the wide maxx. The guy at hub hobby said 70 is recommended in rear 60 in front. I willkeep the stuffer springs in back to prevent it from bottoming out as much.
I think what Maxx needs is one way valving in the shocks. I did similar thing with my Revo years ago. I basically fitted a little flapper valve on top side of the piston. What it would basically do is on compression (landing) the flexible flapper valve would lift and oil can move through all the holes without any restriction. As it rebounds the oil flows through the piston in the other direction. Now the flapper valve would close and restrict oil flow through half as many holes in the piston. I don't know if that makes sense but proper automotive shocks (dampers) work on a similar principal. The compression and rebound offer different resistance. Traxxas used to make a kit for the revo but I made my own with some thin clear plastic. Worked so good. The car floated like it was riding on a cloud over any terrain and it would never bounce on landings either. There is a lot of physics at play here and just simply going with thicker oil is not the right way. The spring should take the initial shock of a landing or a bump in the road. Then once that energy is stored in the spring the damper goes to work. As the spring starts to unload the energy stored within it the damper needs to restrict that force and dissipate over a lot longer period than what that energy was stored at into the spring hence the more restrictive flow of oil through the piston on rebound. Hope that makes sense. Having valving that is same in both directions is very counter productive. By the time you get the fluid thick enough for the rebound to work correctly you will get to the point where the damper will absorb more of the initial impact than the actual spring would. Sorry for massive rant but I don't think you will fix that issue with specific weight shock oil. The Maxx is very rear biased when it comes to weight front suspension was always going to be an issue.
I have torn my truck down in itty bitty pices as I wanted to go over everything and try different fluids. The shocks will definitely be getting the flapper valve treatment and I plan not to go too thick of an oil. People sticking 80-90wt are just turning the shocks into springs of a sort. Other than terrible handling it will possibly damage shock seals due to huge internal preassures and possibly cause bent shock shafts. Anyway as soon as I get my rig together I will try to make a little vid of weather I was successful or not.
Very good information I know exactly what you mean as I’m an automotive tech myself I understand 👍👍I didn’t know they made a kit to change valves directions very cool I’ll do some research on that thanks 🙏
@@earlmoorhead5555 look up traxxas part number TRX5461. That is the kit for the GTR shocks like found on Revos, Slayers, Jatos, etc. I dont think they will work on the Maxx size shocks but it will give you an idea on how they work. Very easy to replicate though. Like I said I just used some clear plastic from some packaging. Its easy. And sorry, if I knew you were an auto tech I wouldn't have tried to dumb down my explanation.

@@MrBigblock78 could you post a video of the custom one way valve you made for the shock? I'd be interested in seeing how its made and attached so I could get a better visual and a idea on how to make it work for the maxx.

I haven't watched the video completely yet, but I'm testing a 12,500 CST silicone oil. I let go of the 2-meter car and it didn't hit the chassis. I haven't tested running yet. From Brazil.
@@earlmoorhead5555 Hello ... I did not understand your question very well. But my tests are still being done with standard springs (stock). I tighten the Spring Retainer Adjuster for maximum pressure. I am waiting for the GT-Maxx 1.725 Rate springs to arrive, as they are more rigid. This 12,500 oil is a lot like honey, maybe 10% thicker. The test dropping the truck at a height of two meters (6.5 feet) was without the weight of the battery. I did two shots and watched in slow motion, the chassis was half an inch to hit. From what I've seen, shocks are using their space for movement very well. However, I am also using a shock-limiting rubber that I made with sandal soles. It was very professional, I drilled by heating the tip of a tool the same thickness as the shafts. I am very happy with the result. However, as I will not always be jumping from three meters in height, I am thinking of reducing the oil to 7,000 CST.
The stock front springs worked way better then moving the old rear springs forward and yes in my weather conditions I needed the thicker fluid in the shocks but colder weather you might not need as thick fluid I used 👍👍🔥👍👍👍
Ben messing with mine for 6 months. There is no fixing it l agree. Sledgehammer tires widemaxx great. Shocks completely messed up. I always said its like a brick and the assend pops up.👍
I've put 60wt all the way around in the shocks on mine. I put a few layers of gorilla tape on the underside of the body as well. Between the extra weight of the tape and the the thicker oil it has definitely helped with that bounce you are referring to. I had to find a sweet spot on the spring adjustment(a little tighter in the back)to fine tune the chassis slap and bounce. I've definitely thought about it needing some squishy tires too. 🤔
I should add that I have stock springs on mine. And I haven't done this kit. But I really want too. I would think it would help ease it wanting to cartwheel on not perfect landings.
Grass is always greener with experiences between Arrma and Traxxas....I am an Arrma guy, but I have a Maxx and Hoss. People complain about their new Arrmas not being put together right as well....Being an enthusiast, we know about deficiencies so we know how to remedy the problem....I love my new Maxx and was surprised how it handled out of the box. I am going to do a MAXX vs Outcast 4s comparison soon.
It might I’m not sure but I do know it’s now where near the outcast 4s out of the box 💪💪🔥🔥👍👍 for me it’s not the money it’s making it right and right now I have a 700.00 rc that does nothing great and does everything ok 👌 thanks for watching and the comments
@@earlmoorhead5555 you can try to set the rebound at least 50% when turning the shock caps once you refill with the new oil, the vid you made refilling the shocks you fully compressed the shock shaft and once the cap was tight the shaft should have came back a few mm. it's hard to explain, I advice to watch youtube videos from Adam Drake for shock setups
logitechz3 I know what you mean that’s not rebound that’s air in the shock the rebound is set by the amount of holes in the round plastic circle in the shock the shock just creat resistance it’s not suppose to have pressure like a gas filled shock ?? But idk maybe putting air in the system helps in some way many ppl do thing differently 💪💪🔥🔥👍👍
Most probably almost no shock oil left on it, I jist replaced my shock oil with 50W and when you push down it slowly pushing up instead of bouncing straight away.
Hello, I would love to ask your opinion. I just bought this MAXX (I also have the Stampede 4x4 VXL). I really like it and I use it 95% on grass, pavement, and some gravel., No jumps. I really love it more than my stampede. It seems heavier and more stable. For my type of driving, would you recommend this kit or not? Thanks !!
The widemaxx kit make it way more stable in turn grass and pavement gravel seems to be the same ride I love the widemaxx kit you just have to fallow the way I did the springs and shocks the kit way makes it very bounce 💪💪👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
great vids earl! I did your diff lube mod and helped a bunch! i just ordered a wide kit and have a few thoughts. I'm thinking add o ring or 2 on shock shafts as bump stops like we do on the heavy rc's to limit the tub slap? and being you have the luxury of 2 trucks the thought of trying the wide kit just on the back for comparison and leaving the front stock. being winter I've only had mine at the bmx park once and i noticed the back always slapped the ground in stock form. might look goofy but thinking would be interesting to see what more spring rate and oil weight with back widened only would bring??? just thoughts love the channel!
Thanks for the great comments...as for the o-ring in the shocks it won’t work due to the shock has a plastic bump stop built in so the shock shaft never bottoms out to touch the o-rings I did show the bump stop on all 4 shocks in one of the wide maxx videos but it would have been a great idea if traxxas didn’t change the design on these shocks 👍👍👍hope that made sense and I hope i understood what you where asking me to try 🔥🔥
i guess i was thinking o - ring on the external part of the shafts inside the springs? did this on my udr and worked nicely. and i guess what i was getting at by widening only the rear was to see if stability would be achieved as well as keeping it's stock jumping abilities with some testing of course. hopefully i make sense,lol! keep up the great real world vids!👌
I put 50wt oil in all shocks then took the springs and pulled them with a slight twist to stretch out a little like an 1/8 of an inch and it's way better.
I used 80 weight in the rear and set the front up as they recommended the other widemaxx I used 80 weight in the rear and 45 in the front witch it was jumping better than the orange one 💪💪🔥🔥👍👍
That’s great tuning a little different for everyone weather and driving style will change what you need glad to see you adjusted to your style 👍👍🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯
@@earlmoorhead5555 something else I did was I got some Proline 3.8 size tires the larger Kutcher tires made bashing an absolute dream I also changed out the rear diff Lube with 1 million weight and with the wide Maxx kit on top of everything else it makes it handle and Bash like no other just a little food for thought but I do agree your front shocks are rebounding entirely too fast there's something not right there
Should have had bigger tires like the same size as the Emaxx in diameter for more ground clearance. Would help with the chassis slap for sure. I don’t get why this truck wasn’t more a upgraded Emaxx 2.0 instead of a new line in the fleet
Who does green with orange 🤔weird choice of color on that 🧐 but still nice collection of rc's there 👍😁👍 also I just have to point this out.........

Ya when I got the wide maxx kit it was the first on the market so I didn’t care about the color but my newer videos shows the refresh and new everything that matches now 👍👍💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Not worth it brother. I would just keep a maxx 4s stock wouldn't care about the rollovers. I care more about the backflips and jumps on a MT platform. If I want to roll less and go faster, I just break out one of my truggies. And now you have less ground clearance, which is counter productive when comes to MT no? Now there's more chassis slap 🤔
Nanoman Exactly. I don’t feel the need to go wide on this MT, nor did the rollovers bother me because I have owned a Savage before and let me tell you...
i have this truck and wide maxx is just not necessary, if this thing rolls it lands upright 70% of the time. people hating on this truck al over youtube because they expecting it to handle like a buggy or a truggy. it jumps and handles in the air amazing, has power, is crazy tough, etc. haven’t changed my shock oil or diff fluid yet.. and not really feeling like i need to either.
Rick D on a serious note, it looks like T Bone Racing or someone has made an exterior roll cage for the Maxx as well. I’d imagine it’s of good quality.
I just put this kit on mine with the steel axles.Wish I never would’ve messed with it.My wife’s maxx land so much better,and those longer steel cvds are loud.I drive around in my backyard in the grass.So much more drag now that it’s wider.Oh well
I remember when all the traxxas guys were going on and on about how great those shocks are to justify that crazy price of 550$ at release 🤣🤣. The wide kit would kind of piss me off being I already spent 550$ on a truck and have to spend ANOTHER 70$ to make it driveable Imho.
cool can't wait to drive my new to me udr only paid 300 for it needs body has one but cut up and diff in back guy ordered parts but didn't arrive in time so he's gonna send me the parts when he gets them on Tuesday then I need deans to traxas connector for the battery's then I'm good to go
That's what I thought and maybe put on larger wheels. As for the bounce, maybe heavier weight oil in front and back, but about the bouncer, put the springs back to original setting..
@@earlmoorhead5555 new to the hobby👍🏻 Any link or exact description of this tire for the maxx? Also what weight oil did you end up going with for the wide kit? Thanks and love your vids.
I 💯 percent sure they don’t but you can see it I filled them in a video and showed how to remove the are as you see I fixed this old problem already my friend 👍👍🔥🔥🔥

You can fix the control arms taking a beating from the ground by getting 3.8 size tires and steel drive shafts you no longer scrape the ground

@@earlmoorhead5555 new to the hobby👍🏻 Any link or exact description of this tire for the maxx? Also what weight oil did you end up going with for the wide kit? Thanks and love your vids.
Lol looks at these nicks. Control arm looks new.
I did have two bodies 👍👍
Fantastic channel my Friend and fantastic info, Big THUMBS up from me and a sub to go along with that, 👍🥰👍😎👍
Thank you 🙏
You need to change your shock oil!
I did I tried several already thanks 🔥🔥👍👍
Dude .. harden the rebound !!!
It needs bigger tires now.
P8ntballa(paintballer) you think that all shocks are good ?? 💪💪🔥🔥👍👍
@@earlmoorhead5555 sounds like something is in there. I mean you do a great job of cleaning your RCs. Not sure dude 🤷🏾♂️
P8ntballa(paintballer) 👍👍
@@Bawla187 yeah maybe some bigger, plusher tires would help cushion the truck. Some nice 3.8s
Radioshack RC shocks... 🤣
To make this RC perfect people need to spend close to an X-Maxx 😵😱
It’s not really money it’s the skills to know what to buy at least that’s the way I feel money never been a problem just knowing what to buy is 💪💪🔥🔥👍👍
The kit only cost $58 from Traxxas how is that even close to the Xmaxx?
@@jamess4527 Need to change that plastic driveshaft also coz they gonna break soon
Yours are acting like its got air in it...
I 💯 percent sure they don’t but you can see it I filled them in a video and showed how to remove the are as you see I fixed this old problem already my friend 👍👍🔥🔥🔥
Not fine not plush like hoss
Yes I was able to finally dial in the maxx but on cold days I still get a bounce on landing hot days are great now but man it was a fight to make it handle right 💯💯💯👍👍👍
Get bigger tires
Yes installed the backflips already 💪💪👍👍🔥🔥
Vid coming up next week ?
Lel1967 video is already out
Earl Moorhead oh didnt see it. Watching it now
Sad
Hi Earl, another great vid... Thicker oil and a lighter spring would help slow the shock action. Wonder if that fix the bouncing/roll over problem?
Sway 1966 yes springs definitely softer and I believe heavier oil in the front and maybe less holes or smaller holes in the shock valves 👍👍🔥🔥💪💪
Try 3.8 size tires
