I’m 39 and last time I was into RC cars, it was 1990. Had a Grasshopper with an giant airplane motor in it, thing ripped! . Just started getting into it again, this channel is awesome! Cheers from Chicago!🍻
Stemp is hilarious you should have him on the channel more often.He's likes to do crazy shit.I love how you told the owner "can Stemp have a go" he just looked at you like are you insane.
@@KevinTalbotTV I know that you asked him that question knowing full well what his response would be.I think we would have all been shocked had he said sure no problem.
you will eventually need electronics tires and wheels , and body so just be happy with max put arms on and be done ppl were saying this same price as the max , that can't be possible unless they mark v1 down
@@TheMusicHeals.kjhjhhg better if you don't have either or don't want to do the work. I guess you could sell the V1 and buy the V2 if you didn't want to swap parts. I don't own either so I'd just grab the new one.
I love your channel I have been watching for several years now and you are what got me into the Rc hobby. I now have 8 Rc cars and I am going to make another body tomorrow in memory of your channel. Long live the Kevin Talbot channel.
Also available in Switzerland, but costs a bit more here for the 2.0 (though the difference is less than the cost of adding the Wide Maxx mod to a 1.0)
It’s available in the US, too. Traxxas just announced it on Facebook. I was seriously considering a Maxx until I went with the Outcast 6s EXB. Maybe down the road, I will get one.
This Maxx V2 is a good truck to buy for guys like me that skipped on the V1 Maxx. I think I’ll be getting it. I do love my Xmaxx. But it’s too big to run sometimes. I love Redfin what a cool little shop well stocked. Wish we had a local hobby shop. There is a huge one but it’s 4 hours away from me. I order online from them mostly. Cool your bro is helping you out Kev 👍
The stock V1 maxx needs the wide kit to make it drivable and stop it flipping over all the time - if you don’t have a v1 this looks like a great option / alternative ! We were in Redfin last week Kev - get the Porsche out for a speed run mate.
Looks good but the first version was epic as well. So for a few cm extra longer chassis, I am not convinced to buy the version 2. Still love the maxx though 👍
Kev, one day I hope that you get an opportunity to come to Utah and check out the crawling/bashing scene!!! With Moab, Little Moab, The Cottonwood Canyons, Sand Hollow, and St. George I’m positive you’d have an awesome time and would get some badass footage for the channel!!🔥 Absolute huge fan mate, hope to sesh with you one day 🤞🏻 Thanks for another banger, just bought my new Maxx V2 yesterday! All the respect!
To be honest, i like the V1 Maxx better, the wide maxx makes it look too wide, and the length of the V1 maxx is fine, and I also like the original body cover
Wider stance = better stability Longer frame = better stability Looks isn't everything and some people actually take their RCs to the max, so having a L/W advantage is always better. Don't just try to justify having the V1 by knocking V2.
Upgrade path of supreme bashing On my Traxxas Maxx V1 I have made a lot of alterations… Lets begin I did wide Maxx kit it and I also got 10mm extensions all the way around to it is 20mm wider than the standard wide Maxx kit. I replaced the wheels with the Redcat Kaiju set, they are slightly larger than the stock Maxx v1 wheels but much much better traction and makes for better plush landings, I also went with one size smaller gear on the motor to account for the larger tires. I also replaced the front steering nuchals with the Traxxas Maxx V1 aluminum upgrade for smoother more rigid steering. I also replaced the stock steering servo with a smaller and 3 times stronger also faster really makes it respond much better. I replaced the front and rear diff gears with solid full lock Hot Racing gears to make it full 4x4 locked. I replaced the main spur gear with the Traxxas Maxx V1 upgrade steal gear from plastic also the steel velocity drive shafts and then again with the hot racing much beefier keyed steel drive shafts. I also did the spring upgrades to stiffen the shocks and replaced the shock oil with all 80 weight. I also locked the and upgraded the center front to rear diff with the aluminum housing and putty locked the diff. i also got rid of the crummy cooling fans and upgraded to 40mm fans and 3d printer adapters to bolt on the stock fan mounts significant cooling improvement. And of coarse shew glue and floating tape body reinforcement. So far my Maxx is so so much better than stock its not even recognizable in stability and performance vs the stock Maxx. This was everything iv done so I don't think ill be replacing it any time soon. with over 600 USD in upgrades' Ugg I would love to get the V2 Maxx but need to get my moneys worth out of my first one.
Video idea!!! Please do a vid on the upcoming supra that is going to be released on traxxas would like to see. So funny that Stemp is so hilarious, like to see more in the future. Love your vids and never give up on your passion. Can’t wait to see the next one!!!
There's music that the tarantula collective uses pretty early into the video and I was wondering if anyone else would catch it, love both channels very much ❤️
Kev has a bro? Cool! I heard that the "new" Maxx is only $30 more than the normal, but it's only avalible in the UK, and I'm in the US. Who cares though, since my budget can't stretch to the Maxx lol!
Well when u find out what the v1 takes to make a v2 I want know a inch longer it should jump and be a little more stable hopefully just a chassis and center drive shaft ! Looks good !! And yes I wanna see the serpent rippl!!
Sorry Kev.....but the Widemaxx is not only to buy in Britain..... we got it also in Germany 🤣🤣....and how I can see on the Traxxas-Site also in the USA etc. 😉
"Only in the UK" isn't 100% accurate. It is Tyrus that is currently only in UK hobby shops...but, it IS available for pre-order in the U.S. directly from Traxxas, and it will soon be available in local U.S. bobby shops. As for 'when', that date still hasn't been released. What I suspect is that stock is already in LHSs, or on it's way to LHSs, and will become available "immediately" on the same date that Traxxas starts shipping the pre-orders. As for cuddles to the vehicle, I'm guessing (as with the 4Tec 3.0 vs 4Tec 2.0), the biggest change is the chassis pan, with the V2 using the same front & rear sub-assemblies. That means (again, as with the 4Tec 3.0) that a 550 length motor should easily fit.
Epic vid as usual Kev. Introducing the new Maxx V2 was a great time to announce that your bro is helping you with editing and filming etc. My bro hardly knows how to use a camera, you've got a winner there lol
I miss my mini maxx I had wide kit and tons of upgrades it was 6s with almost every upgrade you could do to it and I sold it. I’ve got a 6s kraton exb now but it’s not as tough as the maxx so if it’s the same price as the v1 I’ll be getting the v2 I plan on keeping it mostly stock besides maybe a servo and esc and maybe steel cvd’s.
I live in Sweden and just picked up my new Traxxas Maxx v2. But like you say, its so weird that Traxxas themself haven’t posted anything about this ”new” truck😂
@@oe.nygren Right, I've been all over the Traxxas website looking for this truck and there's nothing about it. Seems weird that they would release it only in EU. Either Traxxas needs to catch the rest of us up, or everyone in the EU is just pulling a massive prank on the rest of us.
@@reidisaacson9623 This must've just happened today, cause I've been looking for about 2 days now. I want one so bad, I'm so tempted. Gotta go sell some RCs quick.
I’m only going to start building my traxxas rc vehicles from now on because I really like building my traxxas stampede 4 x 4 you know if you de solder The Traxxas cable connector you can just re-solder it back on and they will never know lol
This gotta be the most hyped truck of 2021, traxxas is smart haha..the maxx is underrated king of 1/10 scale must have tank bomb proof truck on the market
I was probably one the first people or the first to get the new maxx arrived this morning 8am and honestly it’s a beast and for the same price as the old one so a no brainier really
I'm praying I get a RC car for Christmas. I've always wanted one since I saw those montage videos of them doing crazy stunts at skate parks. Your fan from US -Zach
The main question is, Why does every Traxxas bounce in the rear when landing? I have my Monster Mutt "Stampede" dialed in with dual dampening spring rate and appropriate oil and I'm super close with my Slash 4x4 Ultimate with springs and oil. But why from the factory must the chassis slap so hard? Just from a 3ft jump. Shouldn't It should come stock better tuned?
Since 12 i always dream of owning atleast 1 rc truck but because I'm from a poor family and cannot fulfill my dreams but i always enjoy watching your videos kevin love you♥️ & it would be the best day of my life if i get a chance to walk around in ur RC garrage 😌

The energy Kevin has makes these videos very enjoyable to watch 👍
Exactly. "Less waffle, more action." 👍
In my opinion it’ll be better if you get the v2 just because you don’t need to buy any upgrades to make the original max better
you will eventually need electronics tires and wheels , and body so just be happy with max put arms on and be done ppl were saying this same price as the max , that can't be possible unless they mark v1 down

A proper overview and bash! Thanks Kev👍
I am always happy about an extra inch 😜 MAXX V2: An awesome basher even better! Good Job Traxxas 👍
That extra inch is really an upgrade. Now to cheat on my v1 Maxx. Haha

Can confirm
Everyone that sees this comment have a wonderful Christmas.
Available in Belgium too. Sold in my local hobbyshop as “Wide Maxx”

Same
No my friend Gavin has it
Nvm I might be wrong
Yup always buy used there usually patched up propper anyway
You don't have to buy it. You can just upgrade your current version with the new parts. This is for people who don't already have a maxx.
I wouldnt know these were Kevs RC cars and experience the way i feel when he shares 'em, i'd swear they were my very own!
:)
I believe they also have the Widemax V2 in Germany.
Loving the Brother edits, Didn't realise it was family, Quality, More content equals more toys. Get him involved into the youtube family.
We have it here in the US too. Extended chassis with wide kit version/ “v2”.
That is so rad the editor is your brother. I work in film with my brother and it’s absolutely epic! Stoked for you two. 💯
Still loving the videos after all these years! 👍🏻 do a review of the rival mt10 you’ll love it 👌🏻
When you said you can fit two fingers in there…. I said that’s what she said😂🤷🏽♂️. Got you covered
I think we can all agree that watching a Kev video instantly makes our day better😀
Indeed
@@DJayFreeDoo Yessir
I love the new X-Maxx, but the first one will always have that signature look nothing can replace.
I love the Original maxx because of the wheelies and stuff. Can the new Maxx wheelie just as easy to wheelie?
You can get it in Germany, too!
And they are not the same price. In Germany the widemaxx costs 60€ more.
I doubt the price will be the same. Traxxas doesnt give free upgrades
I Bet 650$
haha maybe!
£599.00

You can get it in the US. Theres already reviews on it from american channels.
Damn if I’m not tempted to get this version. The old one I never had much interest in because of the lack of widemaxx factory.
