Putting A High Torque Servo In the Maxx

#traxxas #rc #rccars
In this video I show you how to swap out the servo in the Traxxas Maxx for a better servo.
Servo I used: traxxas.com/products/parts/se...

[@michaelfelton2708]

Hey man I would like to thank you for this video I just got done putting in that servo and you made it really easy thanks

[@bigheadrc]

Love your attitude, personality and RUclips channel . Keep up the good work 👊👊👊👊👊

[@outsourcedrc]

Thanks!

[@chrisarcher4098]

Did this upgrade today, and wow what an amazing difference in control! Thanks for the video I watched it again while changing mine just to be sure not to miss anything. You ever watch the RUclips channel "Smarter every day" you sound exactly like Destin yall could be brothers🤣

[@outsourcedrc]

I’ve seen that channel. I’ve never been told I sound like him though

[@chrisarcher4098]

@@outsourcedrc lol maybe it's just me, I do enjoy your channel bro keep up the good work!

[@islandrc-duke1972]

cool servo and install

[@Lucas.stalcup]

Glad to see you got some tools

[@outsourcedrc]

What do you mean? I've had these tools for years.

[@redbanditracing]

Great video

[@jonk967]

Great video, very informative, as I have not had to change my maxx's servo yet, but know I will. Thanks man!

[@blaketundra3216]

I have 3.8 talon ext's on my maxx, and I'm surprised that I haven't needed a servo.

[@Art-zs6sl]

Probably won't HAVE to, but I know I want to.

[@butzaman5139]

Nice work!

[@outsourcedrc]

Thanks!

[@floridabudgetbuilds4157]

Well shot video. I see why they give you the stiffer spring.

[@robertwren2289]

Thank you very much!

[@Art-zs6sl]

Interesting that you went for a Traxxas servo. It's a popular truck, that is great for newbies. Those new to the hobby that get the courage to change a servo don't want to struggle making things fit that don't perfectly line up. Even with a little know-how I may choose do go traxxas if updating the Erevo servos to avoid the hassle. It's hard ponying up for traxxas electronics at my experience level though.

[@outsourcedrc]

I've had pretty good luck with most of my Traxxas electronics. If this doesn't work, I'll get a Savox.

[@thisIsRC]

I'm surprised you hadn't stripped the plastic gears on the stock servo. Now that you have a bit more torque you'll find the servo saver is probably the upgrade that follows. The stock plastic one wears out fairly quickly. I went with an aluminium GPM one.

[@outsourcedrc]

yeah I'm waiting to see how this servo works out before upgrading my servo saver.

[@davidmayberry9335]

Man I need to get a maxx a Erevo and a xmaxx

[@idankopilenko4934]

You should get a better bell crank that’s what will fix the bad turning

[@robertrodriguez5558]

Missin your awesome content! Will you be coming out with something new anytime soon?

[@darksheepvids]

I see all your paints there what models do you paint ?

[@chaddavis513]

Looks way easier than the xmaxx to changeout the servo.👍

[@NiklasAdv]

Yeah its a little quicker

[@erikkoenig2295]

I broke a few 2085x in my Maxx ended up just getting the vitivon standard servo adapter and a savox 2290sg monster servo

[@marcstoogood8478]

How did the savox work out did it fit? Almost seems like overkill for the maxx

[@cathykennedy1944]

Do a video about how to install a hoss wheelie bar on a rustler 4x4 vxl.

[@outsourcedrc]

If I think about it.

[@williamoleary9330]

Any other brands servo work in the Maxx?
If so please advise.
Looking for more torque than the stock or even the upgraded Traxxas one.

[@thisIsRC]

Yes any standard size servo will work, you just need an adapter. Traxxas sells a plastic one that is very inexpensive, there also aftermarket aluminium ones. Promodeler servos would be my pick.

[@outsourcedrc]

I'm honestly not sure what all works in the Maxx.

[@leroy5202]

Intresting choice buying a servo with only a 2 star rating on Amain, hopefully it works better for you than it did for everyone else.

[@outsourcedrc]

I don't really care about the 14 reviews on that site. All but 4 of them are from over a year ago. Several are two years old. It has a 4.3 star rating on Amazon out of 435 reviews.

[@leroy5202]

@@outsourcedrc Hopefully those are more accurate, best of luck to yours!

[@jace122]

my 2085x gets really hot after 5 minutes if this normal?

[@lassezimmer5218]

I think you servo saver is loose or worn, could se the wheels not getting anywhere near the end point of what it should. I had the same issue and fixed it with a new servo saver and a nut and bolt mod through the whole assembly :)

[@lassezimmer5218]

love the recent videos btw, it shows your not doing it to feed the algorithm! :D

[@kbnsample-official6003]

nên thay servo 40KG

[@scottdonahue9193]

Are u related to rc driver channel?

[@outsourcedrc]

Nope. Why?

[@jburnsdrummer]

I bet its even faster if you could turn it up to 7.4v

[@riconieves7487]

So much easier than the xmaxx...

[@williamoleary9330]

2085X is also junk. Crapped out after like 25 light runs on our XMAXX. I’m absolutely done with any and all Traxxas servos because they are all garbage.
I’m going with the Reefs RAW500 for our XMAXX.
