X-MAXX ULTIMATE: My most INSANE RC Car Yet!
ฝัง

- I'm speechless. The X-Maxx Ultimate really is a dream RC. Does it get any bigger and better than this? The new Ultimate Edition comes with over 20 performance upgrade parts out of the box. Nobody gets one of these to be a shelf queen, so of course I had to send it! It is one TOUGH truck! (Not that I crashed or anything. Ok maybe once or twice.😛)
In this video, we unbox the Limited Edition @Traxxas X-Maxx Ultimate, talk about what updates make it the "ultimate" compared with the previous models, and take it to three different spots to put it to the test. How does it hold up to a newbie basher like me?
IN THIS VIDEO - X-Maxx Ultimate: 4WD Monster Truck

My wife and I have 2 X-Maxx, the Mini-Maxx and the E-Revo. We are in our 50's and we enjoy goiing out and running the wheels of them.
That's awesome
Super Cool
Heck yeah that’s awesome to hear
I'm 56 and just got into this hobby. Love it so far. Just built my first ramp. Enjoy.
Lucky man.
No freaking way!!! I have been on R/C cars for 23 years and this is the first time I am seeing a woman with a RC channel and I am smiling and tripping. I just can't believe it. So freaking cool!! Yesssssss.
i agree man ! damn good to see tho :D
I thought I was the only person to get excited over an R/C truck. Nice photography
Love the video! Welcome to big RC. Recently acquired the XRT, the X-Maxx's brother, as my first model. After watching plenty of videos about the XRT, I jumped in with both feet. I got the 6700 charger completer pack as well. The people at Traxxas are very nice. I haven't has any issues but one- this may be common? Definitely caused issues with the speed control. When the batteries get to the shut down voltage, first level safety feature, AND the thermal limit is reached at the same time, the speed control gets "confused" and it remembers its confused the next time fresh batteries are hooked up. After going through all the set up procedures for the speed control, its normally done at the factory, it was back to normal. It essentially had to be re-initiated and paired to correct the problem. I thought I was looking at getting a new speed control, so going over the procedure for a new speed control was a last ditch effort. Glad I did. {go through all the settings} One tip for you, some do it some don't, it's your choice, but, covering the vent holes on the inside of the wheels helped me out. Some do, some don't, but it keeps water and dirt from getting inside the foams, to keep the tire/wheel assemblies more balanced. A small piece of black tape over the holes, 2 per wheel, works just fine. It actually helped in another way too. It keeps the air pressure in the tires since they are sealed to the wheels, which helps prevent leaning in hard cornering and landings. I mention this since the X-MAXX has bigger tires and the effect would be more pronounced. Just a tip from a newbie, and again, welcome to big RC. PS- running into yourself with your own truck, is easier than it seems. :}
Just got mine today! It’s so sweet!
Finally got an X-Maxx yesterday. It's so awesome! Heading into my 60s in a few months an I still enjoy the RC scene! Thanx for the awesome tips! Your channel rocks!
It was very cool watching you get better and better at the jumps. Great video!
Nice bike on the wall. I have the Xmaxx put in the Hobbywing max 6 and 1100 kv motor with one piece aluminum motor mount. The hubs are still plastic but are upgraded with bigger bearings. It’s great how durable it is.
Thanks for the review! Is really interesting to see what traxxas is coming up with for an additional $500 Literally just bought an X-Maxx a week ago before this was even available !!! Happy with spending just $999 dollars. Upgrading the original 2085 with just the metal gears and bigger rear hub carriers with thicker hinge pins and maybe a alu rear diff case cover seems to be way to go. All this additional metal will make the car heavier. The Xmaxx seems also move a bit better in mid air with the original tyres. They do ballon a bit so that’s also an upgrade worth considering. Will be really interesting to see how this ultimate version compares with the current standard xmaxx long term.
Totally agree hardened spur and pinion set 50/20 won’t go a miss. Does the ultimate have the hardened spur and pinion from traxxas ?
@@kumadokenthe ultimate has machined steel spur and pinion gears
Your comment is way to long and I didn't read it because of that
cool video
@@AnthonyELombardi you could have read it in almost the same amount of time it took you to write your comment lol
Nice work on the video! Nice to see the "fails" along with all the successes in the runs!
Congrats on the new rig! Looked like you had a blast with it. I have wanted to try the xmaxx for a long time… might have to go check if there are are any good deals on a used one. 🤔
I always look forward to watching your videos but the only thing that was missing was a Xmaxx love you got you 👍👍
Another great video, Hailey. Even after a few years, the X-Maxx still rules. Also, love those mad crocs you were wearing 😂👌
I 3d printed the croc spikes. Had to go full nerd.
This is the first video i have seen of anybody cleaning their XMaxx. good info for real. Thanks
My favourite color !! It looks like a ton of fun, I will get one , but just the regular one. 👍
Awesome video really enjoyed it new to your channel my wife and I and son are new to the Traxxas wide maxx and are like kids I agree it puts a smile on your face every time..
WOW...... All is great however I have to say I am most impressed with your post run cleaning routine. You are disciplined, care and have a ton of patience. well and maybe a love for cleaning haha. Nice job RC Girl.
Great video RC Girl love the edit, superb work👌🏼🤙🏼
Hailey that's awesome. The x max is so bad ass. Bashing is right up your alley. You like that extreme off road mountain biking.
The amount of cleaning you did stressed me out. When I clean I just use dish soap and a brush. Then I have a leaf blower to get all the water out and store it upside down to drain.
My xmaxx is 3 years old and It will never look brand new haha.
What a beast 😲 looks extremely well made 👍
I dont think I have ever seen you this happy and giddy ever!!! Nice!!!!🤘🤘🤘
It helps that traxxas sponsors her and she didn't have to pay for the truck
Nice to see someone really appreciate a Maxx. 😉
Welcome to my kinda fun! Great driving sistah🙌🏾! Happy bashing🤙🏾
great video thanks, I was debating on the ultimate vs original and you just convinced me..thanks for the great video
What! how have i never seen this channel.. instant suscribe! Nice video!
It took those dirt jumps like a champ !
You really inspired me to get one of these until 12:30...
However I am sure the maintenance side of things would be essential if I did actually get one and your maintenance routine is probably the best I have ever seen and makes great sense
I think that’s the cleanest Xmaxx I’ve seen after a bash. Great cleaning
I got the Green one as well. Good 👍🏼 vid. Sweet truck 🔥👊🏻💯💪🏻
This rig is crank 👍 love it! Recently I bougth my TRX-4 Defender Sand-coulered.😊
Heck yeah! I cant wait to upgrade my stampede, i really like the 2wd stock with the valenion motor
Still gotta e600 the body but !!! Freeeeekn AWSOME truck ! How can they improve the king of bashers , but they did ! I own two already , I may sell one and get the ultimate , good info video THANX !
Oh what have I done now? I just bought the same one in green today, delivery by post tomorrow. I am hyped to say the least! Going to be a learning curve after all my crawlers.
Awesome truck. Get the paddle tires you’re going to love them. There good almost all dirt and water don’t forget snow.
yeah i was trying to make it to the mountains for a snow run for this video, but it didn't happen. definitely soon. I want it to pull me on a sled!! haha!
Coolest toy ever, i have this sensation watching the video like if im buying a new truck (real full size truck) and i would not take it off-road out of fear of damaging it LOL, i could not bash it for the first few runs out of fear of scratching it or breaking something, its that nice, and honestly expensive too, great video, loved your experience with this new toy.
Vegas Paul here, nice little rip think I'm in love 😊. sorry that price range is out of most people budget.
Then you don't buy it do ya
Nice cleaning routine. I will do something similar with our Rustler 4x4 VXL Ultimate. However, the chassis plastics of the Rustler are way faster damaged by bashing.
It’s all right I guess but my original Xmaxx with mild upgrades suits me well… happy bashing 👍👍👍
Nothing wrong with a stock XMAXX!!!!!
That truck is huge, like the bike wall mount
Awesome sessions! Gotta go bash our Traxxas now hahah
Great to see you back again.
Looks bad ass. And I’m happy that you got to get one! Not my style I tend to stick with arrma, but sick regardless
Me too but I have a maxx would like a xxmaxx but I like too many different rcs preferably Losi
You have to buy tires and esc to keep up with outcast out of the box but xxmaxx is very convenient and easy to maintain
I Loved it! Very, very satisfactory vídeo. Congrats.
It’s like Christmas over there!
I’m so jealous I wish I can afford one right now 😢 I been playin with the hyper go H16BM which is 1/16 scale goes up to 43mph but these biggers one making em fall more in love with the rc’s
❤❤❤❤❤ I just bought it just because of you made me feel good about it. I got the same thing as you.
Love the Xmaxx. Such a fun truck
Mine didnt come with a pinion gear, has this happened to anyone else? Ive looked over everything & i do not see "an included pinion gear".
Glad to see you get into bashing. I have one the original 6s Xmaxx's from many years ago. I also have an XRT.
Remember, link up your phone to your Xmaxx Ultimate, you will get free telemetry such as speed, temp, volts etc, & will also turn on/off the light kit if you ever add one. I add light kits to all my Traxxas RCs.
No doubt if u have the money go for it. Just kinda hard to shell out 1500 for a rc. But I think I’ll get it when it’s available
Great job great close up filming
Welcome to the XMax family 🤩
It's crazy that these didn't come with the roof skid..I mean with how much they cost it should of came with two..😂😂😂 great video! Always good info and entertaining.
Yeah I for sure need a roof skid!
you made the best video. Merry Christmas
I am so glad to see you finally move in to bashing Hailey. you could not have got a better truck. Now as you being a beginner. as i been running r/c for way to long. the only difference between me and you for bashing, you were not going hard enough and crashing enough. take you inner anger out on it. throttled it. jump fly flip crash smash and get it back on it's wheels. Now you need the xrt. you will never want to go slow again. you now will have the need for speed. I have the very first 8s x Maxxx that first came out. i added a lot of alloy on it. Befor my wife passed in Nov 22, she loved running it all around. but her faves were the scx 24 the trx 4 and the rrx 6. now most are all shelf queens and floor huggers. She also enjoyed the tetons. Now all we do is sit take up empty space an go no where any more. oh well. life sucks Hailey. but bashing is a great deal of fun. Bash hard and Bash on. the need for speed is powerful. .
I too went to the dark side, I have both bashers in your video, also a landrover
That's pretty awesome. I didn't know they came that way.
"I think we pushed it to its limits" *Talbot laughing*
But hell, would love that ultimate one, even tho my original x-maxx never fails
Hopefully traxxas makes an actual new xmaxx soon. This isn't new besides the tires I think. It's just got their own aluminum parts. Hopefully they'll make a slightly bigger xmaxx, or maybe a more powerful one. Or both. Some kind of new giant monster truck is what people want, even if its just a revamped xmaxx. This is a tricked out enthusiasts item. If they took every part on the xmaxx and made it 10% bigger it would be a massive hit.
There is. Called the XRT
@@FrankvdBerg the XRT is the same as an Xmaxx, but they lowered it for better CG. The Xmaxx will still make the better all around basher than the XRT, but if you were racing tracks the XRT would be the better choice of the two.
Absolutely.. a Raminator sized truck is what Traxxas needs , especially for 2000$,
Hey Haley! I noticed the absence of short course trucks on your channel....Have you thought of doing a slash build? I came into the hobby recently through the 2wd slash and I'm having a blast with it.
You lucky. You’re love it. Ima get that green one
You got the best color! Niiiice!🤙
nice truck, I need one to go with my e-revo 2.0
This is awesome! When will the ultimate be available?
It looks so awesome!.💯💯💯💯💯😃
Nice vid. You better be careful though. Bashing can be addictive.
Only thing i like with the ulti is the body and maybe the belted tires 😊
The how to clean section could’ve been its own video 😄
Nice truck. If you bash almost everyday (I do sometimes) you want a faster cleaning. I just wash with water and paint it with wd 40. It will prevent rust and soften the plastic and «lube» the bearings. Yes wd 40 is not a lubricant but if you do it almost everyday it will sort of lube it. Fast and cheap cleaning for a basher.
Btw it's amazing how much those bashers evolved in the last few years. TH-cam bashers bullied the manufacturers into stepping their game up it seems lol. So cool that you are bashing now 🎉
In germany just the XMAXX ultimate is 1.699,- € (which is actually round about 1.800,- $)
With charger and batteries 2.200,-€ (= 2.400,-$)!
But the Traxxas spare parts are cheap and any Traxxas RC Car and especially the XMAXX if stock or tuned or ultimate are so much fun 😃🎉
Oh you are so stoked!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏👏
Honestly you are only spending 499 on 1k worth of upgrades ...sounds like a win to me🤣🤣🤣
Won't tell you what to do but something you should do lol is definitely get the m2c center drive shaft possibly a bash bar also m2c cause if you wanna bash hard I can assure you at some point you'll case something and bend the center drive shaft lol heavy bashing with the xmax basically calls for a smashed center ds ass whooping 😄 some heavier duty pins as well.
That thing looks almost too pretty to bash . It would make an amazing looking shelf queen . But who could have the willpower not to go out and bash the hell out of it ❤
What! A girl nerding out on rc? This is wicked.
Most don't understand when you spend 1000s on rc stuff haha - until you hand them the transmitter. Changed buddy's mind when at first he thought rc was lame, I let him drive my modded savage Flux - blew his mind then asked where he could get one 😂.
That xmaxx looks amazing with the included upgrades😍
I'm not really a Traxxas Fanboy but it looks pretty cool
It's A monster, looks fun.
flipping gorgeous 👌😀😀👍👍
That’s what bashing is all about nice video
Man that's big !
The primal rc Raminator is bigger than the xmaxx which proves those people that says the xmaxx is 5th scale when it's not
I see where my tax return is going🎉😊
Love your channel ❤ your enthusiasm makes me want to grab one of my RCs and bash
Schöner und umfassender Bericht!!
nice video like always.
btw. are those some kind of "anti rude boyfriend" crocs?😂
my wife is definitely not gonna get some of these... 😂😂😂
Those belted tires make it harder to control your jumps. The stock tires make flipping much easier!
Cool video. Just curious, why the XMaxx Ultimate over the XRT Ultimate? Also, do you have a list of the $1K in upgraded parts that are on the Ultimate that are NOT on the standard XMaxx? I haven’t seen anything as of yet. Also, does it come with the steel axles? Please and Thank you in advance. Stay safe and enjoy! 😎👍🏼
Hi Girl. Instead of a leaf blower to dry your trucks you should buy a motorcycle dryer. They are basically a little blow dryer. They not only have a filter so they can't suck in any debris, but they also blow out warm air to help dry. I bought one for my motorcycle but also use it on my RC's and to clean out my computer tower. Harley Davidson makes one and so do a couple other companies. They are just over $100, but worth it. Take care
That looks like a beast and it can take some punishment
Just dipped into my Revo 3.3 Nitro now i want this pig!
Love the looks and color but I wound touch one with a 10ft pole.
They need led lights on these huge trucks
I agree for 1620 w tax I wish it had the light kit an roof skid. Traxxas marketing to get more money
@@johngantner9314 yea spending a lot of money on these trolls at least make it look cooler by adding lights to it instead of us having to modify the truck body our self and spending more money shit 1/16 scales come with led lights and be lasting longer , I feel like 1/16 scale are more durable than the bigger scales , I own a notorious v5 6s blx only had it for two week did a five feet jump arms broke and servo got fucked up and costumer service for arrma sucks !!!!
Add this to the wish list 😅😅
Great video, i like the Xmaxx
I have a 1.16 hyper go and a traxxas maxx V2 both good trucks, the x maxx will be next.
The maturity level of some is insane. I have Losi, Arrma and traxxas and a few others. They are ALL overpriced toys made in Taiwan! If it isn't your thing, you really don't have to tell us!! It's really ooooooooooooookkkkkkkkkk. Geesh.
I love mine, not this edition, but still worth EVERY PENNY.
Love it👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Do you use the cleaner on all your RCs?
Ah yes, we also have a group of soccer moms who meet up to drive the X-Maxx cars through the bike park. They pretty much do only drive into each other and keep laughing non stop. And they are super annoyed when the kids come to pick their moms up to go home.
I would be nice to see the charging setup and how long it takes.
Mine usually takes around 1 hr from when the car goes into low voltage shutdown. I have the dual charger as well and I just plug it in and forget about it, I usually am in the same room and keep an eye on things as I'm working on my other rc stuff! 🙂
