I soooo impressed with the durability of this rig and mods with the absolute brutal, cruel, and evilness you puff TV it have put it through!!! Thanks for this break down and details.
Brilliant video ThunderRC!! I think many people appreciate the transparency of your “behind the scenes” on the bench videos. And I agree with you … the only thing that matters is ‘bang for the buck”. Everybody should try various manufacturers’ parts. Most people who bad mouth something haven’t even tried they’re just repeating nonsense from another dingleberry. But everyone should be able to trust your results. You’re the hardest basher on the planet!!
Thank you so much brother! I truly appreciate your continued love and support for the channel! Yes everyone should try the parts first before talking down! I agree completely! Have a blessed day bro! 💪🏆🏆🏆🏆⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Great videos Thunder!! Been watching for a while now and am entertained by each one 👍 Just saw your latest video here and wanted to share that GPM does actually make an aluminum upper and lower servo case for Traxxas servos for the XRT and X-Maxx. With the issue you’ve shown, that should solve that issue with the plastic stock case mounting points breaking off.
Wow, you took it all apart. The guys at the Traxxas store in dallas told me, that you can get a replacement housing for their servo. When I asked them why they do not make it aluminum, they old me that it has not been an issue so far, and noone bashes the cars as hard. They said the same thing about the pinion and spur gear a year ago. Then a few weeks later they came out with the hardened steel ones. I thnk that is just ridiculous.
I have GPM, Vitavon, Scorched, M2C, Treal, Injora and Integy. Integy is the only real crap one. Sure, GPM isnt quite as good as M2C/Scorched/Vitavon but its 90% as good for 1/3 the cost. I have yet to bend/break any GPM parts across 20+ RC cars. I LOVE Scorched/M2C/Vitavon but dont always want to wait or spend the funds on them. Great video as always my fellow Texas friend!
Very nice Thunder. great breakdown of your awesome XRT. yeah i agree GPM parts are legit brother. i would def do some upgrades when i need too on my Kraton 8s. yeah i would get whatever is cheaper and just does the same job as m2c. but far as chassis M2C is best for that i would think lol. You got the best XRT here on YT brother
I think the pnwrcmadness motor mount is best used with the belt drive. it's tall enough for the belt and you can then use a chunk of wood as a spacer. Using gears its too short to add an effective spacer.
I've got GPM drive train parts on several vehicles and haven't had any problems. They all fit and perform flawlessly so yeah, at a third the price, now I always check to see what they have available for my builds
Ya ive been looking into gpm and i agree what was traxxas thinking putting that servo in especially for what ya pay i no they want ya to pay for there better one but come on thats the only thing i hate about my xmaxx is the servo just waiting for mine to go....
I got the diff cups, center driveshaft, 1.5 mod gears with the shaft that has the cush drive support on the end on the list. What gearing do you usually run. Im new to the mod 1.5, but i have the same motor as you with the m2c motor mount and top brace kit. My xmaxx is set up for high jumps and flips. Please help with the gearing, unsure of what pinion to go with if the gpm spur/ cushdrive gear is 36t.?
Hello my Friend, great seeing your epic vids! I hope you and your fam is doing good! DUDE!!! Insane send my man! I’ve been trying Gpm for a while. I’ve had good luck with them. Keep staying #1 my brother!⚡️🤘❤️🏆🏆🏆🏆

@@thunderrc I’m so happy, Thunder! Every vid you outdo yourself! You’re still a huge inspiration to me man. As far as my life, I’ll hit you up on Dm. But, I’ve been building off the wall out of the box builds for concrete bashing. You’re amazing dude and keep inspiring me to do what I love. I truly thank you. ⚡️🙏👊🤘
@@seancollins5162 it’s not about how it looks, it’s about performance. And man, pretty cars smash into pieces off a 1 foot jump! 🤣 Thunder builds are on another level! BEAST MODE!⚡️ Respect is the only thing deserved here. Much love Seancollins. 🤘👊

Do you have experience with the Scorched Arrma 6s Bulkheads to fit hobao differentials?

RC politics and big jumping with lots of Joy thrown in, just don't mix.Well pointed out Rocky.✌️

@@MrWest202 how much does a whole belt drive system cost
I've got GPM drive train parts on several vehicles and haven't had any problems. They all fit and perform flawlessly so yeah, at a third the price, now I always check to see what they have available for my builds
Great info and in my experience GPM is the way to go
really good info! keep kickin a**
Ya ive been looking into gpm and i agree what was traxxas thinking putting that servo in especially for what ya pay i no they want ya to pay for there better one but come on thats the only thing i hate about my xmaxx is the servo just waiting for mine to go....
I like these kind of videos
Hey what are the best tires you like to use for your Xmaxx for all around bashing and air control?
Try the new perfect pass xrt/xmaxx servo bro! It’s amazing. Bolts right in. Best traxxas servo out there!
I got the diff cups, center driveshaft, 1.5 mod gears with the shaft that has the cush drive support on the end on the list. What gearing do you usually run.

Thought you were going to say "Thomas the tank engine."
Haha yeah bro! 🤣🤣🤣💪⚡️
What's the weight of that with all those upgrades? Thanks
Good info
You did great
nice vid man! i run my xmaxx with loads of gpm..never let me down😎👊🏻
I’d like to see your review on the new xmaxx perfect pass servo. All aluminum but expensive.
GPM IS THE SHIT 💪
Dont listen to Facebook keyboard warriors! They are the same folks that love Electric RCs then head on to other forums and hate on EVs.
⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️
If I can make that I would make that myself
Hey dude, about the servo, get the Key Fulcrum and solve the problem.
🤠🤠🤠👍👍👍
What is the purpose of the balloons?
Just trying new things to make it entertaining
Dang man, you guys abuse your stuff hard.
Gpm makes servo case for x-maxx/xrt servos
That's the ugliest rc ever lol
Ugly and tough! Just the way I like them!
