What an awesome video! I've watched so many videos on the X-MAXX and rc in general, and you are the first person i have seen actually drive the vehicle PROPERLY! Without trying to destroy it by doing massive jumps and smashing it to bits. I don't see the fun or sense in that! It is so much more challenging to drive an rc vehicle properly and so much more fun. Thank you for sharing this video mate! I thoroughly enjoyed it! I should have my brand new X-MAXX in a couple of weeks! Can't wait to take it out there and give it a run!
@@1234567890bmx1 maybe a bit late. but it’s for 3s battery’s or 2s. if you don’t wanna use 4s. the holders holds the battery so it doesn’t dance around 🙂
Great video as always! I must agree with you. The truck is so fun to drive. I also just pulled my XMAXX back out. It is about 27 degrees here in Southern Michigan. The grassy areas are snow-covered but, it's sunny and the parking lots are cleared and calling my name. I plan on running it after work today looking forward to a good time with the XMAXX!
Me either. I love my 10th scale. I have a revo2.0 and would rather play with my slash and rustler instead. But I think I'm gonna get a xmaxx to see what it's all about
when I return home from vacation tomorrow ....My new X-Maxx is ready for pickup at my local hobby shop (always loyal to the locals )..... so I can truly appreciate the way you presented this Beast in this video... the way its built....how it functions.....power ....handling .....etc....and that's great....

I have a Revo 3.3 nitro truck I got about six years ago. I've had a great experience with that thing. The lower reliability of the nitro drivetrain put a little bit of a damper on the fun, since there was a lot of stress and no guarantees I'd be able to run it every weekend. I'm probably going to grab one of these to add to my arsenal, that way I'll definitely have at least one car that runs each weekend. Overall, I have a ton of confidence buying a Traxxas product with very little research. They're a good brand and likely to have tons of parts support now, and long into the future.
I just bought my Xmaxx , I got the Solar Flare , it’s all stock for now , I read and researched the new version, The rear hub carriers are improved with larger rear bearings, I know the Steering servo is one of its weaknesses, for $1000 Traxxas could at least have installed the metal gear servo , I’m running 2 powerhobby 4S 5200mah 100C batteries,I was not going to give Traxxas $300 for their batteries, but I did buy the Traxxas dual live Id 26 Amp charger and I love it , setting up the batteries through the App on my iPad is awesome, very intuitive, great interface and simple to set up , my first impression of my Xmaxx is it drives awesome, fast off the line , wheelies on command , for weighing close to 21 pounds with batteries it moves with authority! The TSM definitely keeps this mammoth truck straight, it’s still new and I don’t want to bash the crap out of it , it looks to cool! I own several Arrma vehicles, one being the Kraton 1/8 6S , which is a lot of fun to drive & bash with , The Kraton is definitely faster than my Xmaxx , but I love my Xmaxx over everything I own ! Great video , I enjoyed it , I subscribe to many R/C channels, Kevin Talbot’s channel is informative and entertaining, but he destroys everything he owns , due to the fact he can afford to buy R/C’s when ever he wants ! Thanks again ! Hope to see more in the near Future
I had a Revo 3.3..was the best...helped me bond with my 4 boys..not the wife..will be getting this..great vid..thanks..you never forget the sound of a Revo..get electric start
I have Two of these things and I thoroughly enjoyed watching you enjoy driving and jumping one for the first time. Yes you have been missing out! They're Seriously brilliant!
@@jasonbell4670 both are great man fan boys on both sides are just missing out. All it does is hurt them for being so stubborn and childish. So many great bashers out there now team associated even that redcat kojui or w.e it is called is a beast.
Great video and great truck just got 1 myself the week before thanksgiving it's the 1st rc i ever had that i didn't roll over on my 1st set of batteries which in itself made me an xmaxx lover plus everything else you said about it!! Anyway best of luck I'm sure you'll enjoy i don't think I'll be doing widemaxx conversion but i still think it's a good option to have for inexperienced drivers
@@breracabrera894 excellent best of luck enjoy!! The cold weather has kicked in where I live so I haven't brought it offroad yet however I have jumped it full throttle off my loading dock at the warehouse I work at it's about 5 foot drop onto concrete about a dozen times everything is stock components on truck only thing I did do is change shock oil to 70 weight in rear and 50 weight in the front so stock it can handle at least that type of height without breaking
We own 2 X-Maxx's.....no complaints.....prolly gonna build another.....love the build from ground up RC...max6 ESC, copperhead arrma tires, rpm frontrear oversized hubs and bearings and Tbone front bumper and roof skids ..sweet rides
My favorite RC installed the max6 because stock esc went out runs beautifully…gonna due a waiting period of at least a year before installing wide kit looking forward to your review…
WOW WOW WOW! I've seen a lot of XMAXX videos but the way you drive makes it look like a 10th scale buggy. So freaking smooth. Like it has marshmallow tires and suspension. I think I'll be getting one sooner than later.
@@davidbrennan5 I've wanted one since I got my MAXX last August. I think I'll finally pull the trigger. I like the Solar color a lot. Once I get it...I'll find the room to run it! Lucky to be in Oregon, so just around the corner is something to bash or crawl.
When not treated like a rocket ship ive seen xmaxxs go around my local 1/8 scale truggy track smoother than the trck cars on ever single landing. It is so plush it is crazy when you just drive it like a regular basher and not spmething that needs to be broken to have fun
Hi...thank you for everything you do on the channel, i have learned a lot..but i want to know if you can direct me to where I will find the exact measurements of the TRX4 and Axial 3 chassis, as I want to build it myself because I cant affort to buy me the cars so I have to go to DIY, any advise?
i had bought an xmaxx that came in yesterday and so i went to a big park just to run it on the dirt with my slash aswell and bro, everybody there just stopped doing their thing and just stared at me the whole time and not only that, kids wanted to drive them grab them, the truck was tons of fun but the attention wasnt
i had an older xmaxx damn near broke my ankle with it when i changed the settings and it took off backwards by itself. i guess i needed to adjust the trim afterwards ha
Should have googled "what is the little rubber block that comes with X-Maxx" and saved us on the forums answering the same question multiple times a week. For reference, you use the rubber block in place of the wheely bar (on the rare occasion that the user may actually know how to tune a car and work out that the wheely bar is not necessary)
Had my 8s xmaxx since they were introduced and I enjoy still... I use maxamps batteries... upgrade steering servo. Add some shock covers and good to go...
Cool truck, i used to have an 8s rock n roll version i shouldn't have traded it for a used v1 WideMaxx Maxx but i plan to buy another 8s truck maybe another rock n roll or the new solar flare. Which one should i get? I plan to get either a roller off eBay and build it up with custom parts or get a ready to run and upgrade it slowly as it breaks.
Proline trenchers add some grip, new oil weights in the shocks add some handling, rightstuff gasket maker and a layer of fiberglass make the body hold up a lot better still have my stock body. Although I need a new motor finally toasted it after years of fun!
Hey my friend, I got my XMAXX 8S for Christmas and u love it so cool to drive it I haven't jump it yet because iam from NJ and it's very cold here but spring is near so I can send my XMAXX to the moon its the best of the best monster trucks out there, I want to put the wide XMAXX upgrade kit, so I'll be watching you do yours so I can follow you as you do yours thanks your friendly neighborhood Doorman william from NJ Forgettaboutit 👍 😊
Best Electric monster truck on the market ! I have the 8S X-maxx and just bought an 8S kraton..Both excellent ,but the Kraton is a truggy, not a monster. Kraton handles better, but the "X" is more fun all around , part a not terribly expensive. If you don't want to drop over a grand a the X-maxx, snag it's little brother , the MAXX..killer truck! I like it as much a the X-maxx !!!
Such a sweet truck, I really want to pick one up and will probably pull the trigger pretty soon. Took my Maxx to the local bike track yesterday (similar to yours but a lot more chewed up from erosion, lack of maintenance, etc.) and I think the X Maxx would be a blast out there.
I remember when they very first came out, seeing one for the first time thinking how slow, under powered, heavy and awkward they must be… the slow over weight, over priced brother of the emaxx… that’s until I drove one.. how something that big and heavy can be so nimble, agile and powerful really opened my eyes to how far rc cars have come
Never realized you didn't have any Xmaxx content. With that being said I cant wait to see you put the widekit on. Hard to find quality reviews on the wide kit.
I think I kinda put the old XMaxx project aside because I don’t have the right space to do it justice actionwise. But man this thing is just too much fun. I’ll get the action thing figured out.
You’re the only other person besides myself that hits down ramps. Everyone lands on flat ground and I don’t do that. I like to down side the jumps. Don’t break parts that’s way
Greg I wish you could get a Cen Reeper at some point to have something to compare. I went with the reeper and haven't been let down even though the xmaxx is a monster of its self
Nice man I really enjoy your reviews. I'm working on my xmaxx too. It's a hard one to afford hop up parts for so it's a slow build but ide like to show it to you sometime
I got a red one literally last night ordered it should be here next week I’m gonna run it on 6s from now I had one when they first came out with the 8s when I was 15 or 16 then got out of the hobby sold it but now I’m 19 and I’m back and took me a bit to save up
Don't waste money on the 2085x servo just get the metal gear set for the stock servo . I put the metal gear set into the stock servo and it out lasted my other one with the "upgraded" 2085x . The stock servo with the metal gears seems to hold center better also. I have two xmaxxs and the one i have the stock servo with the metal gear upgrade in it i have a SSS 5694 motor and nothing stock but the servo I've put metal gears in and the poor thing has held up way longer than the supposed better 2085x that one lasted about three months now i run a reefs but just trying to say i don't think the upgraded 2085x is anything but the stock servo with metal gears and black plastic.
Hi Greg. I'm Rich, and i live in Muskegon, Mi. I am a newby to rc's, and i have a question about fms upgrades. I have the 1974 Chevrolet K10 1/18 scale. I have watched, and listened to RUclips to you, RC Athletes, RC Sparks, and Exocaged to name a few for upgrades to no avail. When you upgrade a vehicle, how do you know what will, and what won't work when you want to upgrade a truck you don't know anything about. I have asked a few hobby shops here in W. Mi., they don't know. I have contacted fms also, and they said they do have upgrades, but wanted me to upload pictures of the parts. So i did, two of the under carriage, and one under the hood. I haven't heard a word one from them. Any suggestions about upgrades for my truck?
I literally, off ice dropped mine in a pond, chased it down got it washed out dried out and still works I recommend belted tires though in the snow Yesterday I ripped my front tire, I guess the tires don't like high speed spinning on snow and the rocky drive way, Temps made them a Lil fragile
Keep up the great work Greg, I’m saving for a Maxx but in the mean time I’m building a 6s mt. What are the pros and cons of the mxl6 esc from the revo ? Anyone have any experience with it
Love my XMAXX 8S, It’s a BEAST and a blast to drive. It’s surprising how agile it is for such a big truck. Glad to see you have one now. I want to see what you think about the Wide XMAXX Kit.
I kinda want one of these, but between the entry price of $1000 plus $200 for the wide-maxx kit plus another couple hundred for batteries, it turns into a $1500 proposition. Then there are all the parts I've heard that break even when you don't launch them 30' into the air. I wish Arrma would make a competitor to this monster.
One of the best trucks Trx has ever made !!! Always wanted to ask you , what do you do with all the RC's you' review / test / build ??? You still have all of them ???
I love my X-Maxx, that rubber piece is is a filler piece that goes between the rear Skid and bulkhead of you take off the wheelie bar. Awesome video can't wait to see your take on the wide Maxx kit. Keep 'em coming! 🤘🤘
For the guys that want the incredible X-maxx but just can't swing the thou$and dollar price tag..check out the Traxxas MAXX ! It is also an amazing monster, I have to say it is A LOT like the X-maxx in a more compact and affordable pkg!

I agree! Nice to see someone not trying to destroy it!
Can I have a X max?
The rubber piece is for when you take off the wheelie bar and only have the bumper. The rubber piece helps absorb some of the impact.
What’s the other foams for ? They look like battery holders but I don’t kno what kinda battery’s would go in them ?
And thers one in the front as well.

When you upgrade a vehicle, how do you know what will, and what won't work when you want to upgrade a truck you don't know anything about. I have asked a few hobby shops here in W. Mi., they don't know. I have contacted fms also, and they said they do have upgrades, but wanted me to upload pictures of the parts. So i did, two of the under carriage, and one under the hood. I haven't heard a word one from them. Any suggestions about upgrades for my truck?
where is this track at?
Nice track
Love my XMaxx
Sounds like they will bring out an actual Wide-X-Maxx if they have released a wide kit upgrade for the standard x-maxx
Nice video,no crazy stuff,just out the box fun run. Way off my budget I'm afraid, might have to rob my pension funds.😱😱
I literally, off ice dropped mine in a pond, chased it down got it washed out dried out and still works I recommend belted tires though in the snow
Yesterday I ripped my front tire, I guess the tires don't like high speed spinning on snow and the rocky drive way, Temps made them a Lil fragile
You should do a widemaxx kit installation video
Keep up the great work Greg,
I’m saving for a Maxx but in the mean time I’m building a 6s mt.
What are the pros and cons of the mxl6 esc from the revo ? Anyone have any experience with it
Mxl6s ESC is the best esc traxxas ever made. It's actually a castle esc with trax rebranding
How close would you compare the xmaxx vs maxx v2 besides size difference? Do they drive similar or have similar handling?
i've been debating about getting one of these for years.
Me too lol I bought a maxx to hold me over
Love my XMAXX 8S, It’s a BEAST and a blast to drive. It’s surprising how agile it is for such a big truck. Glad to see you have one now. I want to see what you think about the Wide XMAXX Kit.
I loved my xmaxx miss it now !! Need to get another one been trying to trade my black edition erevo 2.0 for one for a month plenty of mods !!
how dos it always land on it's wheels???
Throw some belted Duratex tires on that bad boy. The difference in traction is incredible.
I kinda want one of these, but between the entry price of $1000 plus $200 for the wide-maxx kit plus another couple hundred for batteries, it turns into a $1500 proposition. Then there are all the parts I've heard that break even when you don't launch them 30' into the air. I wish Arrma would make a competitor to this monster.
One of the best trucks Trx has ever made !!! Always wanted to ask you , what do you do with all the RC's you' review / test / build ??? You still have all of them ???
I broke my xmaxx drive shaft its rear wheel drive SMH any tips
I love my X-Maxx, that rubber piece is is a filler piece that goes between the rear Skid and bulkhead of you take off the wheelie bar. Awesome video can't wait to see your take on the wide Maxx kit. Keep 'em coming! 🤘🤘
What is your view on the new widekit for the Xmaxx,? And as always great video
Haven’t been able to run the wide kit yet because all my bash spots are covered in deep snow. Looking forward to trying it.
Merry XMAXX to me.....Well maybe next year.
Greg if you remove the wheelie bar you install the rubber block to absorb shock......X-MAXX AWSOME.....
Got it! Knew the awesome viewers here would help a brother out.
For the guys that want the incredible X-maxx but just can't swing the thou$and dollar price tag..check out the Traxxas MAXX ! It is also an amazing monster, I have to say it is A LOT like the X-maxx in a more compact and affordable pkg!
rubber piece is extra you have one where your front bumper and chassis meet
Great video! Really digging the Xmaxx. How much run time do you get out of the two packs?
Ooh I thought this was review of a new one, like a v2 lol!
Amazing
