Just subscribed. I like the depth you go into on your builds. I just built an 8s CEN Reeper. Underrated truck in my opinion. I've got a Kraton 6s on the way. Going the M2C the hell out of it and probably put in a big hobbywing combo. Keep the content coming!
@@fxrc3086A little difficult due to lack of aftermarket parts, but it's different. Everyone had a modded xmaxx. It's a capable platform. If you do it, keep it as light as possible. The cen plastics are plenty strong. The diffs are not. The less weight the better. Going aluminum and adding weight with all that power will destroy diffs constantly. Anywho, the maxx is awesome. Looking forward to future videos.
Love your build brother!! I also have the maxx green and black with 6s upgrade and all hot racing parts. I absolutely love it. Have about 1200 into upgrades for mine !! I ran the 3.8 trencher lp and ripped em on 6s. Went with duratrac six pack belted and they are amazing
@@fxrc3086 well you’ve definitely put it on the radar! Love the 6s upgrade. Amain Hobbies did the 6s conversion and wrecked the bejesus out of their’s lol. I figured if it’s good for the Kaiju then it should be right at home in the Maxx.
⚠️ATTENTION⚠️ : I'm late to the party here, BUT I just bought the MAXX as well. Guys check out T-Bone racing and check out their chassis brace. Instead of aluminum bulkheads, I'm buying this brace...!
Great video reason im more the maxx not a fan of wide kit is because my style of driving wide kit is much slow when doing fast hard turn on many surfaces and drifts more when the stock maxx if you drive aggressive very aggressively like snapping causeing it to almost bunny hop i really dont have rolling problem but i do aggree on it would have been nice to get both arms i think great video
Have almost the same build besides went with traxxas 6s electronics with the larger traxxas motor mount you mentioned. I also used all the Traxxas T6 parts vs Hot Racing. Where did you find the Hot Racing T6 shock cups? Can't find on site. Moving the front shock to outer holes on arms level the car out more compared to the rear, quick hack for improvement o geometry. I also blew the center diff and upgraded to the wide steel and aluminum traxxas one, well worth the 25 dollars on 6s.
Thats awesome... love this truck. Im def going to look into that for the center diff, I haven't had any issues so far. I have vitavon bulkheads on it now and they're sweet but it does add some weight. I got the hot racing shock caps on Ebay. Thank you for watching👍👍
@@fxrc3086 The part number is 8980 and I lied like $75 but hardened steel throughout, T6 cup, crazy 100+ diff weight and m1 with wide. Basically a spool. I can't find the cups on ebay and must be the same size for a different model. Hot Racing site doesn't mention them either. I will troll but if you have the part number from ebay would be awesome and last piece I would get. I essentially am running the Traxxas rebranded erevo hobbywing 2200KV motor at 26/46 gearing and a hard drive on 6s that you know. I stuck with the Traxxas erevo 6s ESC for the Bluetooth module and motor Temps, rpms and etc to the phone on the controller mount telemetry module with lighting, super lazy 😴. Being a Ohio State Alum went red vs blue for obvious reasons🤔 Are Arrma Infraction builds are similar but V2 with castle mamba 8s with 1520 1650KV for drifting around round abouts👍
@@specialheschel2295 thank you for that my friend im def going to check it out... the part # for the shock caps are MXX156AX10 and the collars are MXX156BX01
Would be amazing to get the main supplier names and part numbers listed in the description. Any chance? I’m in the U.K., so this would help massively to find a same/similar part. Such a helpful video man many thanks
I've had this same problem. Hopefully with the New Sledge having the same shocks Traxxas will fix this. Even with the supplied widemaxx spings and full preload in the rear it is not enough and then with the added weight of 6s and all the aluminum 🤯
The Maxx is better off "overpriced" than "value" priced. No one said this hobby is supposed to be cheap on the front end but we can come up with cost effective fixes and hacks of our own.
Traxxas builds great rigs so I don't mind the over priced. I just wish they offered the Maxx, X Maxx, E-Revo in a roller or kit for people who don't want the RTR Electronics
Im actually using the 25t GPM servo horn that came with the servo mount. I dont usually care for most GPM stuff especially something as important as a servo horn but its holding up nicely👍👍
Double sided tape and one screw. There's an aftermarket carbon fiber ESC plate xtream that screws into the 2 holes ive been thinking about picking one up👍👍
@@mr.rem2609 it is built pretty tough... wish I had a maxx when I was 7... back then RCs weren't anywhere near as awesome as a Maxx... what a time to be alive...🤯👍👍
I do like doing that when I can. If ur going to upgrade everything anyways then it make more sense to buy the roller if u can find one. I wish Traxxas sold more kit version or even rollers of there RCs
@@fxrc3086 most definitely! I put every single Traxxas hop up offered for the 2.0. and other stuff too t bone racing skids proline wing. Crazy fast servo big fans all that. And my arrma felony is built to the moon as well... Just ordered 800.00 worth the parts from scorched rc just an hour ago ha. Yea I think I'm going to get a Maxx roller or a hoss roller after this 1/5 outcast exb build..
@@fxrc3086 i mean for the most part it does hold on better and its alot easier to deal with then the 4 body pins that are easy to lose. It can handle a good hit over and over before it will pop the body off but ive done it a few times. I took my wheelie bar off for a lil while and thats what really jacked up the back end of my body. Lol ima get the heavy duty body next and see how well it handles the abuse.
My buddy just bought one can't wait to see it run in person...600 with tax is a hard nut for me to bite off since I love my stampede plus I can get 2 arrma v3 trucks for that lol do you still think its worth getting? Thanks Joe
I really do... I wasnt sure about getting one at first but after going through it im really impressed... I dont think its worth the price out of the box but the potential is there for It to be an Amazing RC
Hello, Can you please tell me with the Traxxas steel axels and widemaxx kit, Will all the front and rear Hot Racing Hubs and front Caster Blocks work fine with that set up? Do i have to change anything if I buy the Hot Racing aluminum Hubs and caster blocks?- Besides bearing switch over for the newer longer steel axels? Any help would be appreciated. Looks like you installed them with noi problem to work with the steel axels.
It all goes together flawlessly my friend... the hot racing hubs come with oversized bearings for the inside bearing and u just use the stock bearing for the outside of the hub If I remember right... anyway everything u need will be there... the widemaxx kit, steel axles and hot racing hubs... its an Amazing setup good luck👍👍
@@daltonboucher8162 Im thinking like 175 + whatever the shipping is but im in NH so it cant b that bad. And Ill throw in the servo but im not sure how to go about it. I could post it on EBay or mercari and u could buy it that way
Ya I get it. Their fun to build up the way we like but maxx is damn expensive to begin with lol. I’m sure in time the bug will get me and I’ll be dumping money in it as well. Like the trenchers I just bought!! So far I do ok without the wide kit but will see. 🙄
@@Greatgadgetsgear you are totally right... its over priced for sure... a lot of traxxas is. The maxx is one of the rare RCs that really doesn't need anything.
Im a total beginner and you just blew my mind. Cant wait for my Maxx to arrive so I can start with your upgrades, thank you!
Thank you ,Its an awesome truck ur going to have a blast with it

@@fxrc3086 agree 100%

Stock springs? I can't understand why there isn't more spring options for this truck. It bottoms out a lot.
