Shouldn’t it just be produced with the new wider arms since everyone has rolling issues with the stock arms? I realize it’s a money maker now, but to keep quality up they should just be produced with them...
Thank you nice easy tutorial, the description of removing the springs was a bit vague and your hand covered then process but I figured it out in the end
Love Traxxas support, and I don't think it was as bad as some people say, yes at first it was a little unstable. But when you figure out how to drive it it's not that bad, but definitely better with the wider control arms.
Hey traxxas I have a quick question if you dont mind, my slash 4x4 platinum running all stock electronics lost signal and had a runaway at 50mph and smashed into a car destroying the whole front end. I thought the ESC was protected against runaways but this time it wasn’t. Anyways what do you guys think went wrong and thanks for your great support
Looks like u were right. Finally now I see the new model that just came out is widemaxx and I just bought my Max about 3 months ago smh. At least Traxxas is giving away the widemax kit for free now. For people that recently buy or bought Maxx. That’s why I’m here, putting on the widekit smh.
The Maxx needs to have the longer drive shafts for the this to work right. If you don't use the longer drive shafts, you'll eventually ruin the drive shafts.
The maxx has a different chassis so it's going to be different then the revo and tmaxx plus they are kinda outdated so if we got a newer design with a nitro motor it could be pretty fun
This video should be updated ASAP for putting on the new steel drive shafts. It's really pricy to upgrade the MAXX, you really should have done this at cost due to the MAXX not being a very stable truck without the wide kit put on. Your designers messed up, and we the Consumer are paying the price for their mistake. I love your products, but really, it's going to cost me over $150 to make this upgrade. I have the TRX4 Sport, two Rustler VXL 4x4s, the MAXX, E-Revo 2.0, and a new XMAXX. At least give it to us the kit at the price you sell to the hobby stores. Everyone's making money from your mistake, and the customer is the loser. No more MAXXs should be sold without the upgraded wide MAXX kit. Thank you for reading this.
GeoTrax is how the big fad why did Noah but my brother I'm on my brother's users then I'm only 11 years old and I'm really into Traxxas RC cars made Lee RC cars I think you guys are really cool
I've said it before, this is not an upgrade, it's a fix. The fix in this video, is not the entire fix. You have to get the metal drive lines, if you don't you'll destroy the plastic drive shafts. Everyone that has a MAXX knows it will roll very easily. I had no choice but to buy this fix, the only upgrade is maybe the metal drive shafts. Your engineers messed up designing the MAXX, and didn't make it wide enough to handle turns. You have to slow way down so as not to roll it over. Traxxas should at the very least sell the fix at cost. Making your costumers pay for your mistake in designing the MAXX is not cool. Traxxas should not sell the MAXX without this fix. If you were a real car manufacture, you would be made to fix this under warranty. You're trying to make us feel this is taking the MAXX to another level, and in reality, it's a fix, and you all know it. With that said, Traxxas does make some of the best RCs on the market. The XMAXX is the best RC truck out of the box., and yes, I do have one. I just got my Wide MAXX kit today. $187 fix for the MAXX.
Yeah why not just of designed it correctly from the get go & have this already on? Oh you want more $$$...Silly me Perhaps if it was designed correctly and already wider so it didn’t roll over you would of sold 35% or more than what was sold. I have two Tmaxx’s (2.5 & 3.3), Rustler, Hoss, & now an Xmaxx so don’t think this is from an Arma fan boy.
This is a very incomplete and over-simplified tutorial. There is no mention of swapping out the rear shock oil. Nor the fact you have to swap all the components on the female section of cv drives to the new longer shafts, which is complicated in itself.
This video sucks, half of it doesn't even get shown to you. Paid 600 on a truck and need to find some other video on YT to fix their mistake.. what a great start to traxxas.
What happened to the longer female half shafts? You pos that's the part that doesn't work and you didn't even mention it! Shame! Traxxas is always the worst but this is shane!
Rc Goodness I was going to say about the same thing lol but you don’t need to be rich, just know you want support. I just sent in 3 old lipos to Traxxas that went bad from just being old and will be getting 3 new ones at half price in about a week. Find another manufacturer that’ll do that!
Traxxas offers a lot of personalization
Shouldn’t it just be produced with the new wider arms since everyone has rolling issues with the stock arms? I realize it’s a money maker now, but to keep quality up they should just be produced with them...
i mean some people prefer the original arms because it’s a bit more durable
Arrma kraton still eats the widemax all day anyday
@@walterwhite4789 waaah
Disagreed
@@walterwhite4789 nope, not as all in durability. but in performance yes
Thank you nice easy tutorial, the description of removing the springs was a bit vague and your hand covered then process but I figured it out in the end
Love the maxx!
Love my xmaxx the daddy of the vehicles.
scott loiacono I agree!
REMEMBER you have to change the half-shafts too for the wider version of maxx that doesnt show in the video
Doesn't I change longer drivesfaft?
I like the red control arms
No mention on changing the shock oil then?
Should've came with the truck in the beginning
Nope. They shouldn't make that kit that's all
Traxxas please post a video on how to install steel Cvds
The maxx doesn't have rear toe links, right?
Love Traxxas support, and I don't think it was as bad as some people say, yes at first it was a little unstable. But when you figure out how to drive it it's not that bad, but definitely better with the wider control arms.
now the same for the xmaxxx
I wonder if it was a traxxas error after making it because it flips
0:35 The narrative here could be more helpful as to why/what is actually changing there. Ex spring rate.
What happens if you break a arm? Do you have to buy the whole kit again?
8999x 8998 for the arms
Can you buy replacement sigular wide arms
Hi, you sad nothing about the strut oil!?! Must I change it?
What is the part number for the screw that goes to the motor mount the gear cover
Will this wide kit be available for the T-maxx?
So you don’t have to get the metal cvd for the wide maxx?
HOW DO YOU TAKE THE AXLE OF THE HUB
Bruh this is so frustrating when you have a year old maxx it like doesn’t work
Do you need to buy different driveshafts for the wide kit?
i wonder too
No, but you have to use the longer shafts included with the kit and they skip over having to switch the outdrives over which is not easy.
You don’t show how to change out the old drive shafts for the new longer ones. That is a process in itself….smh
Hey traxxas I have a quick question if you dont mind, my slash 4x4 platinum running all stock electronics lost signal and had a runaway at 50mph and smashed into a car destroying the whole front end. I thought the ESC was protected against runaways but this time it wasn’t. Anyways what do you guys think went wrong and thanks for your great support
can you guys do an unboxing for the car?
can you start making a wide suspension kit for the traxxas stampede/rustler/bandit and slash
Maxx slash 1:1 fit. I'm doing it right now
Awesome
I’m a 12 year old kid and it took me maybe like 1 and a half hours it was pretty simple
@Traxxas Support Can you guys please make a WideMaxx kit for the X-Maxx? :)
They did :)
is there an 4s motor for my rustler?
EHRENCHICKEN yes you can get the one that’s in the maxx
Ryan Barragan thank you.
You have to get the 4s esc too
I bet from now on newer year Traxxas Maxx models will start shipping out with the wider arms you’ll see.
So two years later and still not included. How much did we net again?
NOPE. STILL THE SAME. Lol
@@jasonbell4670 well hopefully because the maxx in my opinion doesn’t handle as good as the Tmaxx or Revo but there different rc’s in general.
Looks like u were right. Finally now I see the new model that just came out is widemaxx and I just bought my Max about 3 months ago smh. At least Traxxas is giving away the widemax kit for free now. For people that recently buy or bought Maxx. That’s why I’m here, putting on the widekit smh.
Didn’t we learn this 10+ years ago? 3906 to 3905 EMaxx...
the bigger the better
The Maxx needs to have the longer drive shafts for the this to work right. If you don't use the longer drive shafts, you'll eventually ruin the drive shafts.
Here's a suggestion
A nitro maxx? Could be good traxxas
Super Mega Nuke there’s the revo and the T Maxx so there’s no point
The maxx has a different chassis so it's going to be different then the revo and tmaxx plus they are kinda outdated so if we got a newer design with a nitro motor it could be pretty fun
The $100 kit that should have come on the truck
Does now
why are there dislikes??? You literally got exactly what you came for.
You guys should do a e-revo 1/16 vxl review
Nice!

LETS SEE ARRMA MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS! Oh wait... they wont🤣
Is that an insult?
GeoTrax is how the big fad why did Noah but my brother I'm on my brother's users then I'm only 11 years old and I'm really into Traxxas RC cars made Lee RC cars I think you guys are really cool

Hence why this new maxx has it and isn't called maxx 2
Imagine a 1/16 mini max
They say it’s 1/10 scale...
Yeah why not just of designed it correctly from the get go & have this already on? Oh you want more $$$...Silly me
Perhaps if it was designed correctly and already wider so it didn’t roll over you would of sold 35% or more than what was sold.

Mamba x esc is the solution 🙏🏻

Why didn't traxxas just fix the problem and start making them with the wider arms ?????? cash grab alert !!!!!!
What happened to the longer female half shafts? You pos that's the part that doesn't work and you didn't even mention it! Shame! Traxxas is always the worst but this is shane!
wide Maxx = wide Vladimir Putin walk
For what they charge for that junk it should have all the upgrades already in it! 530.00 for plastic dogbones and non Adjustable links what a joke!
James hanks sr arrma fan, get out of here only the rich can afford the best
Rc Goodness I was going to say about the same thing lol but you don’t need to be rich, just know you want support. I just sent in 3 old lipos to Traxxas that went bad from just being old and will be getting 3 new ones at half price in about a week. Find another manufacturer that’ll do that!
My max is way better. All it used to do is flip
wort tutorial ever lol
