    I just got mine and ran it yesterday on 3s, great run times. I ran 3 packs of Traxxas 5000mah. Each session lasted just about 25 min. I set up my jump at 2-2.5 feet the truck handles like a brick in the air. It wants to point it's tail end down immediately. I noticed that hitting the brakes as soon as air born then giving forward throttle settled it down. Definitely does not jump like it's bigger brother the X. I do so far really like this truck for what it is and that is a super strong chassis basher. If flips are not it's strong suit then I have my EREVO 2.0 for that. The EREVO is not as strong but for flips in the air it excels. Today I will be heading to my local bmx track. I will report back if anyone is interested in how she faired.

Great bashing Tony seems like Velcro worked just fine to secure the battery, not counting the battery ejection, some Velcro straps have silicone coating for grip on smooth Velcro backing surface, seems like it held fine after tightening though.

    You don't do half bad on your line ups for your jumps at all. I do like the 7 minutes in and your like something broke! Then when you open it up, you have a missing battery! That was funny! You do a great job at making this video fun to watch and you have a rather cool setup in your backyard to have a blast with this truck! I received my Traxxas Maxx last Monday and Tuesday evening I ran it all out on 4s at 50 mph and hit the brake and it rolled tail over front a good 50 feet till it stopped. It was dark and I didn't realize I lost the joint on my left side on the inside that holds the 2 plastic shaft sections together was gone. I think I broke the clip and the metal assemble just fell off some where. I didn't even notice anything broken till I was trying to show a friend the self right feature and all it did was mostly try to run the right side and the left front wheel didn't do anything. Then I realized I broke it already! Bummer. On the Traxxas app I turned down my brake power from 100% down to 80% and not it skids and slows down to a stop but now it won't lose control and start flipping out and rolling down the road.
    I swapped over to 3s lipo and now only do a max speed of 40 mph, but now my battery stays in the compartment and don't need the strap to hold the battery door and battery in place like we do with the 4s lipo. I am loving this new Truck and the green and blue design is absolutely beautiful. 1st night I already did the Drywall tape and Shoe Goo treatment on the inside of the body! I am so looking forward to the light kit and wide Maxx kit coming real soon! Thanks for the video and keep on bashing!

    I think this took a pretty good beating and I'm actually surprised it didn't break. Some of those landings would have claimed an a-arm or worse in some of the other cars I've tested. So, in your case, I think it did very well in durability.
    However, when it comes to handling, I'm sorry to say, this truck blows! Nearly every jump you landed, whether it was on all 4's or not, it flipped itself over and ended up on it's roof. You couldn't build up speed as the front would pop up nearly every time and just looked un-tuned and unbalanced throughout the run. Maybe this is what a "monster truck" is meant to be or maybe we have been spoiled with LCG chassis from other brands that are advertised as MTs but really aren't, either way, what a frustrating truck to drive.
    Cool looking truck, has heaps of power, seems pretty tough from I saw here but, keeping in mind I'm not taking your driving into account, the handling of this truck is just awful. Maybe try a different terrain or some different tyres to see if it improves in any way, because I'm pretty sure I have a Banggood truck or 2 that will out-handle this truck at half the price. They may not be as tough or as fast, that's true, but they drive way better.
    Cool video Tony, you gave it hell and it kept going, but you need to try and keep the sun behind you so we can see the truck mid flight and you don't burn your retinas looking at it. ;) Loved the mid vid, on the go fix up when that pin popped out, it was cool to see that. Great job, man, well done. :)

      @RMJ1984 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Plastic is really not as bad, as some people give it credit for. Plastic just needs to be thick and sturdy enough. When you impact plastic flexes and goes back, unless it breaks obviously. But metal it bends and you are never gonna get it back to the way it was before.
      For me in most circumstances, plastic is superior and cheaper to boot.

    I just drove mine at night it lit the way for my friends and I and helped us see while we made a bonfire, it even survived hitting about 3 small trees like 2-3 inches wide and it handled crazy good on the sand path, I got it home and just washed it with the hose, used the air compressor and blow dryer then used wd-40 on everything but the electronics and tires...also please let me know if it’s cleaning method is correct since it was wet and muddy

      Yes Dan that is a good way to clean it. It's waterproof so your good to go. If you want to see alot of good videos on cleaning look up "Botajell how I clean my rc's" he uses simple green and water then a compressor then silicone spray. He's a gas/nitro guy but it's all similar. Seems your having fun with your new truck and new to the hobby, that's awesome man. Have fun!!

      Yea thanks I called the hobby store and they said I shouldn’t have put water over the electronics because water can get into the receiver box on mine so I’ll open that up to check, and for the wd-40 they say don’t use that since it makes it sticky and attracts dirt so I need to spend more money on a better alternative lol

    • @CCxRC
      @CCxRC  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Dan Berger WD40 does attract dirt, but it also repels water. If you keep up on cleaning it and re-applying...it works. I like to do an initial WD40 on the plastics to help make them more flexible. I do like Moo Slick for coating the chassis to make it easy to clean.

Time will tell. Edit: but this truck definitely took a beating in this.

      ​@@simbanugz2906 I'm maybe one of the first guy who would critic Jaytee about his reviews espacially on some chineses cars that i own too and i have a total different experience with these cars about their durabilty. Even with Vas, there isn't enough bad landing and too much driving skill to do a review about durability imo and for my taste, espacially about those same chineses cars (i also did be really disapointed by a car that Vas reviewed as good, and i bought it after have watched his review, when mine had issues on issues without doing any big jumps or even hard bashing). These reviews from them aren't bad finally, now i just take their reviews as they are and watch other reviews and know that the best is to test the cars by ourself. For any reviewers we must take in consideration how they drive the cars, what they like and expect about these cars, on what surface they use them (loose surface give less stress to drive train, as for wet grass compared to dry grass, or concret)...And i have nothing against chinese products, i own lot of chinese cars, but when, from my experiences, they don't worth it, even if they are "cheap", i say it, this stay my opinion on these cars. But i wouldn't say that JayTee would be weird at this point to modifiy a car for making it weak, he own many TRX and he will still buy TRX cars.

      I didn't like driving it until i added the wide maxx kit. Too much power for the narrow stance and height the weight sits. Rolled over non-stop. If you drive on loose dirt, it was ok but anywhere else was awful. The wide kit helped, but that puts you in $600 almost on it. But it really is a pretty solid truck.

I haven't ran my Maxx yet but plan too today or tomorrow. You sure beat the mess out of your truck! Found Traxxas' upgrade for the axles on their web site tonight. It will fit the E-Revo splined hexes then will use a standard 8th scale wheel nut. JaTee's axle broke right where the pin holds the axle to the plastic part of the axle right in the middle of the hub. Your truck held up very well!.
