I thought so to I have had my servo since June July and it's never skipped a beat

Thank you for the update

Sup my guy. I am back, I’m not here to trash talk or say “TOLD YOU SO”. Traxxas won’t give you a refund, I would ask them for store credit if I was you. It’s a win win since you can get a refund from Amazon too I hope. I get your frustration. My truck was pulled apart for 2 months as I waited for new servos every time they burned out. Let me tell you about my issue and what happened. I posted a part 2 video of the resolution. My ESC would flash green like yours spontaneously although I never thought much about that since the blinking would go away, then come back and go away… Traxxas replaced my ESC, I am not sure if they replaced my receiver too because it’s something that remained clean so I couldn’t tell if it was swapped. They also replaced my servo.. they had my truck so they worked on it themselves and returned it serviced. ESC does not blink anymore. So far my truck has not broken, I am on day 3 of using it. I am waiting for it to break with mild abuse but it hasn’t. I believe there must have been an issue with a certain batch of ESCs where it over volts the servos .. that’s all I can think of. Sorry it happened to you too. You’re lucky you got it from Amazon because they have very lenient refund policies.. traxxas won’t refund hence why I kept replacing them, I bought directly from them so I had to keep sending it back.. $150 is alot for me. Best of luck on your search for a servo man. You should check out the perfect pass Xmaxx servo. They sell out quick but restock often, just set a reminder on their site. They recently ran out. Also… to stop the play on your motor fan, scoot it back. The motor has screws on the back that align with the heat sink and kind of “locks it in”. www.perfectpassrc.com/products/perfect-pass-monster-t-servo-for-1-6-cars-insane-speed-power-accuracy

Traxxas support is horrible stop using there crap servos same thing happened to me with my Maxx and that servo Everytime I flipped over just like your x Maxx delayed response then it would burn out receiver steering channel after it happens a few times then you have to replace receiver and servo and no more problems since I stopped using that servo there something that shorts the receiver out which causes poor voltage of around 3volts output after get a reefs servo never have problems with them

I have a hobbywing max6 on 7.4 volts

Just watched the video the problem isn't the receiver or the servo. It's the esc there isn't enough power for it to run the servo

I was told you set up binding receiver power first then remote set bind and it worked for me

They don’t care if your not happy they want ur money and you bought there car lmao

Bought 2 of these last week. Both of them are going back

Definitely go with SAVOX or Perfect Pass!

Perfect pass so far has been working well for me. I did the one that's made for the xmaxx. It's fast and has a good amount of torque.

Have you thought about the 2085X servo from Traxxas. That is the one I have in my XMaxx and it works really good with no issues.

I just run the stock servo. I did have the original fail once. Got a replacement cheap off Jennys. No issues since. At least for people on a budget.

I may have misheard you but channel 1 and 2 are for your servos if you have anything else plugged in there u will have issues

I put that servo in my XRT and so far I haven’t had any issues, I was thinking about getting an aftermarket servo, but did not find one that fit direct, without an adapter. I also do agree with customer service being hit or miss, I’ve had them give me free esc replacements, no problem, and other times they have made me pay the 50%.

No one should ever buy ANY traxxas electronics besides maybe their light kits. They’re garbage.

I've never had good luck with the traxxas electronics and I've dealt with the traxxas support and it is terrible. Me personally I just ditch all the traxxas electronics whenever I get a traxxas vehicle. I would just get the Perfect Pass Monster servo for the XMaxx. Its $170 but go watch his video on it on here. His channel name is Raz Shifrin. Hopefully I spelled his name right. Im going to be getting that servo for mine when I get it. I'm going to be getting my XMaxx next month.

messing with wiring and stuff is what keeping me away from getting a RC LOL

Agfrc servos. Traxxas makes some great RC but their electronics are trash.

Savox servo was my favorite option for my bashers

If the esc detects any kind of throttle or brake from the transmitter it will flash green. Normally I would a apply a small amount of throttle or brake normally fixes it. If not then I just re-calibrate my esc. I think its because when dust gets in the controller it starts messing with the neutral position. Its very sensitive. Its weird but once I figured out why it flashed I just kept running it as so. As far as loss of power, I have no idea! Very strange and disappointing.

If you can get the Raz Shifrin Perfect pass servo for the Xmaxx I would highly recommend it I have a vid with it and it works great and the nice thing with the lower bec on a Traxxxas esc it still has a ton of torque and speed. The customer service sucks mail in parts at your cost to be checked. My maxx slash was all over and they were clueless. A viewer pointed out the light on the receiver was red meaning tqi was off how did they not know that. They told me it was a high skill model, and I should use 4s!!! I replaced that weak servo and servo saver and wow it drives great no more wondering or uncommanded turns making it flip.

You should have gone for an Aftermarket Servo and adapter the first time itself.......

I’ve replaced my servos with Perfect Pass Monster T servo. These are the best and exact fit. No modifications or brackets needed.

Not everything is rosy.........

Get the perfect pass Monster servo direct fit too! 💪🙏💙

Key Fulcrum 75kg XMaxx servo is the only way to go, I’ve had mine since they came out about 1.5yr ago & it’s been flawless…. Fast, super strong & NO adapter needed

You need to set your neutral position to stop the green light from flashing 👍

Why don't you just connect that servo to another one of your Traxxas cars' receiver/ESC and see if it still has problems. All Traxxas servos are 6 volts anyways so any 4-8s ESC should work. The 3S probably won't have enough amps. Obviously you can't install it but I mean just a bench install. Also, that shorted temp wire could have fried something else. One time I had a shorted fan wire that smoked and prevented the ESC front even turning on until I noticed the short and fixed it. And another time some lighting kit wires got stuck in the pinion/spur (very unlucky) and it fried my receiver and servo but my ESC was fine. Electronics can break in weird ways...

I know u guys dont use aftermarket parts a lot, id go with Hobbywing and avoid Traxxas and there terrible support

I'm still new, but it sounds like Traxxas has a lot of electrical issues. And they tossed your servo away that you bought elsewhere??? Thats BS man hope it all gets fixed up

I cant stand traxxas electronics replace the esc with a hobbywing man its way better

its your esc 100%bad esc is going to burn out your receiver, bad receiver is going to burn out your servo but traxxas servo is garbage and is going to burn out anyways

I've always had issues with traxxas support and they're terribly rude on the phone and treat you like you're stupid in my experience. I've been doing rc for over 10 years and I can tell you it's sad to see the only brand I run be this terrible... Great videos keep up the amazing work!!!

Thanks for the info

Aw man that sucks. Sorry to hear that. I was tempted on buying that same servo but held back and got myself a perfect pass servo that was made to fit straight into the X-Maxx. It was bloody expensive, but the performance is awesome. Hopefully your problems get resolved soon brother 🙏

I just put a 1/10 size servo in mine.. 38 bucks from gxservo hobby.. its called ak70. And its flawless.. it even comes with spare gears if u ever need to replace them

Dang I just put one in. I haven’t had any issues yet. I like it so far but I haven’t had issues. Hopefully I won’t.

Had a summit over 1500 into it and 3 vxl summits. They went their directions and I had seen a Snap On Black XMAXX for 600 used and jumped on it. No batteries only some old 1800 3s so got 2 smc 9500 cobalts.. batteries came in yesterday. Wish me luck..

That's hilarious 😂

New sub, & Love the easy to follow format . I have a Rustler VXL & and so enjoy it as as well. thanks for all the help... KTW.

If ya’d edited that shot a half a second earlier, it woulda ben epic, eh?! Instead we gots a bobblehed dodgin these lethal flippers aimin’ fer his melon!

Very nice work

dang it of course they stopped making the vxl version of the car apparently they were easy to work on and very light which would've been perfect for me do you have any other Rc that's kinda similar fun to drive but easy to work on and light ? I'm in a wheelchair btw lol

bye bye differential 😢

Haters will say it’s reversed😂

Top shelf 4s basher for sure. You guys did a magnificent job covering everything. 👍👍🏆🏆

I'm a big Arrma fan and the Gorgons look fun and durable but the MAXX really has some good punch. It looks like a super fun basher for sure. Great job on the video and I love the track. Very nice!

ok so my Russler vxl brushless has something wrong with it so I took it to a shop and the guy told me it was the slipper clutch. he sold me the pieces (which were overpriced) and I replaced everything he told me to (which was all in the video oh and thanks btw it was very helpful as far as putting it back together) and it still has the same issue. so mad. and he upgraded me to aluminum parts then I saw this, he said it cant melt. I am very new to the whole rc thing
