@PeroLadan1 Kevin shows the EXTREME of what abuse these RC cars can take. Look at it as proving grounds! Now you know just how far you can push and judge for yourself if you want to push it or save the car for another day of RC fun
I just bought this truck at a pawn shop for $600. It was a pavement princess and wasn't even broke in. I've dreamed of this car for years, I still can't believe I have one now.
Hell yeah buddy how are you liking it so far? I just bought a roller for $300 and have the missing electronics on its way for $200. Just gotta wait till they're here and its ON!!!
I knew nothing about rc's when I first started watching Kevin's videos, now that's all I want to do. Exactly what he's doing. Always having a good time with friends, fixing, upgrading and bashing. I have learned so much from watching Kevin. Wish I could send him my rc and have him upgrade everything. That would be nifty. Native Alaskan rc-er here. Subscribe and don't forget to smash the bell!
@@davehoward22 owning such expensive RC cars is a luxury item to have. Not everyone can afford 1 grand only for a piece of toy let alone the other components you must have for the full experience.

My 9 year old actually started to cry watching this vid... Because it`s too expensive in our country to have such toys and he likes RC so much .... he was like ... "Dad why are they doing this to the XMAXX".....

Just bought my first xmaxx. I need more info on what to do with the post and the hot glue. I found the hole but I'm not exactly sure what to do there. Please and thank you
Agree with this. I get that kev has money to do this and I don't know if max is from a wealthy family but he comes up with really annoying ideas to just wreck cars. They even lined the car up and you could see it wouldnt fit through the gap but apparently max thinks it will make it. It's a bit like the guys that buy new games consoles on launch day then smash them up in front of the people that have stood queueing for ages but can't get one cos they have sold out.
I know kev goes hard on his rc cars but at least he doesn't come up with a ridiculous idea that will definitely destroy the car. Not saying max is a bad guy or anything but it makes me not wanna watch the videos
Bought mine a year ago. And that’s exactly how mine is. Don’t have time for any of my RC’s with life and such. But I love my trucks. Love your channes KEV!!! Watch them as soon as the notification pops up. Been in the hobby for 20 years. Just don’t get to play like used to. But I don’t think I’ll ever stop having them around. I look forward to your world record speed attempt. Good luck. And give them hell!!! 👍🏻👍🏻🤟🏻
“Can’t afford” is something you can control. Get a job or two, or three if you have to, and work hard. Most of our problems in life are something we can control by making smart choices. Trouble is most people now are too lazy and choose to sit on their ass and complain that they have nothing instead of going and doing something about it. I’m not saying you’re that way, I don’t know you. But I’m saying don’t follow in the footsteps of people that complain they have nothing. Instead follow the footsteps of those that realize their life is in their control and nobody else is going to look out for them so they take charge and do what they have to do, to get what they want. Best of luck to you, work hard and make clean money and have lots of fun.

Ive just bought the new perfect pass 80kg servo for the xmaxx, do you recommend getting an upgraded metal bell crank/servo saver to help protect it? I can get the Treal one, Vivaton one or the traxxas ultimate one
I wish I had the collection he does. Remember years ago when I worked at a hobby shop and everything was nitro. Seems like industry is going all electric. I miss the nitro stuff at times. Just picked up a DBXL gasser, and next on my list is a new xmaxx. Glad I ran across this video. Few things I need to order from the get go. What I really want is the Primal RC truck. Was awesome to see that one on here.
Hey Kev, picked up my first xmaxx a couple weeks ago and have been following your mods on your various rigs over the years. One question, the screw you put in the steering post.... can you let me know the size of it? Was debating using a pull dowel also. Keep up the kick ass vids!
AGFRC makes really good servos. I run one in my Fireteam and it hasn't failed yet despite me running a really stiff servo saver to increase high speed steering.
Im thinking of getting an k8s exb and design a heavy duty chassis... i know a guy who makes 7075 arrma chassis for free for me (done a k6s chassis already). Some thoughts on the k8s? Is it more fun than the 6s? Is it a beast?
Kev I really enjoyed this video seeing you gear up a new Xmaxx. Great editing and who doesn’t love a new fresh Xmaxx! Would be sweet to win that beast. But either way if I get another Xmaxx one day I’m gonna paint it that red I do love that signature red of yours it looks great on any rc 🇨🇦👋
I remember thinking $550 was a lot for my Revo 3.3, 12 or 13 years ago. A grand, before upgrades, and "good" batteries. The hobby just stopped being fun when it started costing as much as real car to play.
Ya the used market for rc cars right now is awesome like I just bought myself another car for my collection and it was a 500 dollar used xmaxx it works as it should it great
I see it as him doing the stress test of them all. No way would I be trying to jump a house... so if it survives one of these extreme jumps, well it should do very well for the smaller jumps ill be doing.
I got the exact same setup on my xmaxx as urs. But im concidering buying a bash bar since im bending the center drive shaft. What u recon Kev? Love ur videos :D
Im pushing 50, and just got my first one, used. You can do it, if you really want too. It may take some time, extra shift, change in circumstance or even luck, but you can do it if you really want to. That applies to darn mear everything in life. Good luck😊
I used to have rc cars, had one of the first nitros that came out that would do over 70 mph, which back then was insane, but I didn't have sponsors or RUclips to help pay for all them pieces and parts back then were expensive. They wanted so much for little plastic pieces that broke every single time you took it out and messed around with it. If they hadn't gotten so greedy I'd still be into them till this day, but I refuse to pay $17 for a piece of plastic that's gonna break 5 seconds into it. They have figured how to make certain parts just strong enough that you will break them and have to keep buying replacements to continue ur already much invested fun. You get even one sucker, I mean customer that owns a sizable collection. That's alot of parts sold that cost them almost nothing... no thanks will find a different hobby that's not gonna bleed me dry. But they are fun and u are fun to watch so 👍 to u.
i got a x maxx 8s and have been having fun but have noticed that at high speed the steering seems a little wandery is that usual because the front is light or is the servo not strong enough to keep it all straight ?
You could use a stronger servo for some increased centering and holding power, BUT a big monster with those big tires isn’t going to be precise or able to hold a straight line like a smaller vehicle. Picture a Toyota Tacoma doing a speed run against a Monster truck. Have fun out there 🏁
No matter what the next xmaxx they always maintain durability and strength performance without compromising structural integrity or overall quality i just wish prices in the market weren't so high but this machine is worth the $$ i say machine because these are beasts and so much more than a toy thanks Kevin keep going!!!!!!
I think the plastic keeps production price down, but I don’t know how much that carries over to the purchase price. These things are expensive! One day I’ll have one

@@jaybomb5022just sell the traxxas esc and servo brand new and it will take the cost of the better upgrades more easy to swallow
Those upgrades are not necessary. You weren't listening
And arrma needs a $1000. So what’s your point?
They need to offer the X Maxx as a roller
What about 2 stroke 😂
kinda easy to put that together yourself bud
@@ShazammtheProducer ?

You're wrenching footage never fails to impress me. It's not easy to record and edit things like that while keeping it entertaining and informative.
Do you have it shown in any videos your go pro setup for underneath the x maxx? I’d love to see how you mount a camera under it

Drop whatever your doing when kev uploads!
But i must ask: When are the Nitro infernos you built going to be raced???
Kev have you got any upgrade tips for the arrma senton 3s??
Nothing is invincible, as long as your not intentionally tearing the shit out of this thing keeping it stock is just fine. Love your videos Kevin!
The added and BEST NEW feature in the Traxxas X-Maxx 8s is... KEVIN!!!
I recon Kevin still secretly paid from the damage. Or at least went halves. He seems like that kinda guy.
Love the x maxx in the monster truck livery

Are you adding a screw or are you removing the screw and then hot gluing and putting it back ?
Adding.
Glad to see his moonboot is off
Those basketball nets will make a nice target to land a RC car in ;)
What about the center diff earplug mod, cut driveshaft mod, and unbreakable body. Do you recommend those upgrades too.
Already has earplug looking stuff I. There, split shaft caused problems, indestructible body is good for bashing but I like my rcs to look good

What does the max 6 do exactly? What does it change?
Which pinion and spur are you using?
Are the bearings even bigger than the V3? Didnt the V3 get bearings matching the RPM upgrade people bought for the V2?
Same size as rpm bearings
What size is the tap you used on the servo horn? 2.5mm
So what did they upgrade on the V4? Apparently not the weak points from the last one, since you still had to replace all those things?
Body protectors, bigger wheel bearings
We need some more of those Kev VS Max Bets!
This is the earliest I’ve been to one of his videos ✌️
At this point, traxxas is just making new versions of the xmax just for kev😂😂

Hi Kev thanks for the videos love them. I have a arrma senton 4x2 and the servos keep dieing, what should I do as I karat keep buying the.
Mad Max indeed! Zero fvcks given with that guy 🤣
No matter what the next xmaxx they always maintain durability and strength performance without compromising structural integrity or overall quality i just wish prices in the market weren't so high but this machine is worth the $$ i say machine because these are beasts and so much more than a toy thanks Kevin keep going!!!!!!
Are the batteries and charger included
