I know , no one will see this lol. But this video at this point is 7 years old and just helped me out! Thank you!
A RC legend is born
Kev, you have really honed your craft over the years! I hadn't seen any old videos but I been watching you religiously for about the last year or so. Good on you sir!
Wow Kevin! You make it look easy. Please continue to provide the technical side of things in your videos. The repairs that you make to all your vehicles will be of interest. Thanks Again.
Such a young Kev, the videos have come such a long way, but still very informative vids!!!!!!
I'm really liking your how to videos. Better then most I see on here.
Came in 2020 after a Google search took me to this video.
OMG how things have changed!
Wow you got a heart even tho it’s way after he uploaded it
Thanks man for the video . My first time working on my Xmaxx 🤙
Kevin, I just ordered the Kershaw Designs Diff gears. This video is going to make the install much easier. Thanks a whole bunch.
Nice! let me know how you get on with them. Cheers
Awsome Driving man!
great video
Great tutorial and fix for shimming the gear
Thanks Kevin, your channel is great. When I replaced the steering servo the rear pinion gear fell out.
anyone watching this and seeing how kev has progressed from then to now
yep
Hes definitely turned up the enthusiasm in his voice
He wasn’t even loud yet 😂💯
That and I need to replace my diff
+1
Great video thanks for the tutorial, I sub👍
Love the early vids, and like the hair cut. 👍😃
Nice info man👍
One of the main reasons I bought the X maxx was the ease of doing repairs . Excellent chassis design 🤔
Loose the pfte shims and try the copper head gaskets from the 3.3 and 2.5 engines for the pinion and you can use them on the bearing side as well.
nice 1 for the vid and interesting to hear your thoughts on the hd diffs too. shame as i've just ordered a set of hd's... i've stripped out 5 sets of stock gears sin 30 ish runs... :( great fun truck though... kershaws hopefully will fix the issue. thumbs up!
Hahaha I LOVE THE INTRO!
So what diffs do you now use or is stock still the one.
You have really come a long way great work mate I watch regularly
Much appreciated
@@KevinTalbotTV no need your content is awesome always up-beet friendly and a good sense of community with your pals and us in line ones sharing and inspiring others into our hobby ensuring there is future in it thank you
Just curious do you change the springs for stiffer ones due to the fact that you like to jump this truck or do you just leave everything stock. Could you please elaborate so I can understand
A suggestion for the diff fix. Get something called machinist ink, or Prussian blue, and put it on the ring and test assemble, rotate, and check for tooth engagement after the shim to see if it made a difference. My guess though is that where the ring sits needs to be machined a bit to move it in closer to the pinion, or both fixes if there's slop enough to allow your bearings to sit in there even after you install the shim. Either that or there's flex under hard accel by the pinion pushing the ring away.
High-spot blue......
nice video:)
I have thoes gpm diffs you saw on Kershaw designs website. so far so good. I'm also running 8s on castle xlx and 2028 motor so it's definitely more than the stock x Maxx.
pinion shim is much more effective. Two benefits one I didn't notice until I had the lower bulkhead out with the pinion and diff in there with the upper diff off. Obviously it pushes the pinion to the ring more but I believe the real benefit is the shim gives stability to the left side of the pinion. since the ring is on the right if you are looking front to back that preasure creates a slight right side pull in where the left side of the pinion moves slightly right and forward. With the copper shim in it seams to give support to the opposite side of the pinion not allowing it to move right forward. Rear one 3.3 large headgasket right on the bearing which form fits. Then 2 to three revo 2.5 sims directly on the pinion Single in front
Thanks a lot! If you can do a quick review of the Kershaw diff gears durability in the future, we all will be very thankful. Very nice channel, btw! Keep up the good work!
Thanks dude :) As soon as they turn up I'll do an installation video and durability test. Cheers :)
Hey I have a question about the gears for Xmaxx with the castle creations xlx2 . What’s the best gear ratio without heat issues ?
Kev. What set you recommend on x-maxx 8s I’ve not broke yet but won’t spares
Hi young kev ! I was wondering what oil do you use for front centre and rear diffs? I heare dpeople use 500k for front and rear and 20million in centre. What do you use?
Hi Kev, what's that flat washer? 0.1, 0.2 mm? Does belong a 7783 traxxas part? I didn't understood well. Thank you
Do you have any footage of the clicking noise it was making?
Hey My Brother ! Kev quick question I’m running my X-Maxx 8S with the EZ-Run Max5 ESC and the Hobbywing 800KV , and am having some issues with my rear differential! Do you have any suggestions ??? And a quick question do you have an extra set of the HD Kershaw Design Rear Diff that I could possibly buy from you somehow , I live in Germany . Thanks in Advance Brother stay safe healthy and happy !
Just picked my xmaxx up, can someone tell me what "shimming" is please? Thank you
will the 7783X work too because 7783 is out of stock on the Traxxas website?
quick question ive been dying to ask you if you wouldn't mind.,.. i have the first gen 6s xmaxx running two 3 cell 7500 mah soft packs and they r working ok but starting to swell,,, anyways it really doesn't want to wheelie or really pop up at all for that matter when i got from stop to full throttle, would you be able to please recommend a gear spur and pinion setup that you maybe have tried and found it turns the 6s into a wheelie machine,,, i just want it to lift a litter, and gear to be able to float on the snow and maybe the water if i get some paddle tires.... please help thanks soo much for your better accel gearing ratio.... happy holidays and hope you had a good new year... looking forward to hearing back from you,,, cheers,

Can i get your help on my diff work? when i put my drive cover back on the diff will not rotate anymore, when i loosen it , it works again. Certainly the diff housing should be a tight as possible right? I would love to chat with you about it.
DID U FIGURE THIS OUT? IM HAVING SAME ISSEUE
the last few seconds....LOL
Support 👍
Could you be so kind and tell me what type of grease you put back on the ring and pinion gears before you assemble it
just general purpose grease
thank you sir !
I always use an electric driver for my rc but set the torque setting to its lowest and finish tightening by hand
Where do u get gears from Kev? My maxx is giving me prob worked fine for couple months motor moved stripped the plastic gear went metal. Re installed then both monkey gears broke. I noticed it drives fine but I’m scared to punch it. I used the Arrma spur gear and it
Makes noise when u punch it I just know the monkey gear is gonna crack. Should I just go back to plastic, I can run it sounds fine if I feather it but what fun is that. Please any advice would help
I run the Hot Racing Diff covers and they are so rigid you can't shim on the bearing side any more. Won't fit properly its that tight
Your videos have come along long way!!! Are we still shimming xmaxx ring gears?
I haven't in a long time, I forgot that I ever did actually!
You should have changed the driveshaft cups also
i used 4029 for shimming the pinion gear
No power tool for me..with that speed it generates heat which could melt the plastic thread..I would have also change that diff grease to diff oil..
Where i can buy that grease? 11:43 *
Can someone tell me what the stock diff oil weight is for x maxx
10000 front, 30000 rear
omg youung kev ;d
I tried buying Keyshawn diffs....they were on backorder for a month then they gave me my money back.
Should have changed the diff oil while apart.
First time watching this
Early beings
Wow....just watched this. This is what Americans view all English people like.
Don’t use the stock junk gears.
ah ha ha ha dont doit lol like i just did doooh
