Very fun truck to drive no doubt. But be ready to drop some serious money in it if you plan on buying one. Bought mine brand new a couple of months ago and it has just been one thing after another. First day out of the box my esc caught fire and did a ton of damage so after sending it back to traxxas to be repaired, i bought a hobbywing max 6 esc just to avoid it catching fire again. Ran it maybe three times and body pulled through and three of my tires came apart and two of the shocks leaked out all the oil. So if you plan on buying this truck just know that 900$ price tag is just the beginning. Ended up shelling out 200$ for the proline badlands, 160$ for the max 6 esc, 15$ for shock oil, scrounged up some body washers, two servos because of the plastic gears stripped. But all in all if you dont mind the cost its a fun truck to own.
That's very useful to know. Not much good buying an RC like that, if one cannot afford spending that money extra. Think ill stick to E-Revo2 and just replace cheap push rods :P
That X Maxx is $1600 in Australia so I really felt your pain when those screws popped out especially only after 45min running time, apart from that it looks the part but I still don't know which way to go...Maxx or X Maxx. keep up the good work tho, really appreciate
Congrats for your video. I really liked the fact that the way you drove it, what you said about it was very real and to unbiased. I have many cars and have seen tons of videos but yours is a more realistic approach. Thanks for sharing!
@@outsourcedrc Oh yes...it's a beast. I blew out my stock rear tires already. But Traxxas is sending me some new ones. I might try the proline Badlands
I have the Stampede 4X4 VXL, and now I bought the Maxx - love it even more (it's the Xmaxx younger brother). These are so much fun, you can amaze yourself with the results !! THANKS !!!!! GREAT JOB !!!
Upgrades... tires are first. Servo is 2nd.. steering components next links, servo safer ect.. and done .. you have to let some things break.. thanks for the awesome video.
My first day I chucked the lipos in and slammed into a mailbox post lol. It hadn’t been on for any longer than a minute. Also the only post in existence for about a 200 yard radius. I broke the left lower control arm. Hell Yea!! Xmaxx!!! It was a freak thing though. I’ve bashed the crap out of it since then and haven’t broke anything else. Grats man, welcome to the Xmaxx Club!!
Outsourced RC All I could do was laugh and order parts lol. The Mad Max Land G-Rippers look so boss and are worth every penny btw. Nathan Cation “Mad Max USA” on Facebook sells the rippers and the Russian indestructible hdpe bodies. Also killer for serious bashing!! Helpful group to belong to with Tons of XMaxx info. Andrew Appleton (RUclips, “All Day RC”) has a wealth of build knowledge and is a great guy!! His “Ultimate Xmaxx Build” series is awesome. He also makes belt drive conversion kits. I have no affiliation with Mad Max or All Day RC in regards to selling or promoting the G-Rippers, indestructible bodies or the belt drives. They’re just excellent products. Good times and rubber side down man!!
Crazy the same thing happened to me the first day I ran it. I also put some small washers and it’s held on really good. And as another person said, the pinion gear went lose a few days later. Today the left rear tire ripped right down across the middle. This is my second Xmaxx. I love them.
WOW that was a short and expensive fun. It comes from the mega adrenalin kick when you drive such a Monster Truck. I drive only RC Modell Truck Trial because this Monster Trucks are to fast for me. I hope you comes back with a new video and a repair Xmaxx. Greetings Andy from Modellbau-Kanal.de
The Xmaxx is a total beast! You gotta get speed! More speed for height and once the Xmaxx is airborne it actually controls real well...you gotta just give in to the bash and send it ;) Mines been about 40 feet in the air at the skate park and even had a number of really bad landings...only broke the front bumper so far ;) You should also get the link and ALWAYS shoe goo the bodies on ALL cars ;) Sorry, just realized this vid is two years old but points are still good ;)
Lolz. How funny is that! I just picked up an Xmaxx with the green/black combo. It’s going to be an Xmas gift for my son along with his e REVO. It came up as an amazing package that I couldn’t refuse! Lots more to learn about these big rigs.
Get Cen hinge pins. Rpm rear hubs they come in a kit with both of them and the bearings as well the rear bearings will go out as soon as you start bashing. Also by the stock stiff Springs that Traxxas offers for this and I promise you you won't be disappointed
It's lexan, plastic that's thinner than construction paper. Using washers to reinforce the areas around the screws is a good idea or you could use a strip of plumbers tape (bridged between screw posts and shaped to the body contours) and/or strong tape (on the inside) like gorilla or duct tape. There has got to be dozens of ways (from cheap and quick to expensive and detailed) to strengthen the lexan without covering the body graphics. A little research can go a long way or experiment and develope a whole new technique that's perfect for your style of RC operation. What works best for me is to remove the stock shell and buy 7 or 8 disposable bodies then destroy every last one of them.
There is 2,000,000 in thr center diff form the factory,,,I put 500,000 in the front and rear,,,,go through the truck check the diffs, sometimes they are low,,,check everything.......put a washer or something for the posts..there are certain things that need to be reinforced,,,but believe me,,,you’ll be quite satisfied with the durability of it ...I’ve got 2. And love them both,,and I put them through hell,,with minimal damage,,,have fun. You’ll get the hang of .......will take a beating for sure ......great stuff,,,,tazzzz
Lol got a Orange X-Maxx like yours....first ride, the front screws did come out of the body ! And the rear bearing carrier hub (inside) has exploded. Got the RPM rear carrier hubs with the big bearings.Waiting for the russian unbreakable body....
Just brought the new orange one home today . Took it out of the box and Traxxas has installed pull through protection on it right out of the box ! They must have seen this video.
Great choice with getting an Xmaxx! Don't forget to get the 3d printed body savers as it's easy to read through the body when you jump it. Have a great time! I love your content!
My birthday buy didn't last 24 hours, using the ERevos self correct melted the gears instantly, replaced with aluminum next day and seems better then before.
An that ladies and gentlemen is why you should never drive tired lol. Having said that i think most of us rc addicts would be pissed if a body did that on its first outing. Love the xmaxx and keep the rubber side down buddy.
get cen hinge pins and rpm hubs and spray the arms with wd 40 or muc off MO 94 to make the plastic flex and get a hobbywing max6 esc u will be amazed. BTW the screws being pulled through happens all the time put the plastic washers u get with other models
Ti. I remember the first time I nailed myself in the shins. It was just brushed 2wd buggy but that thing had a lot weight to it and the front skid plate was metal and I was at full throttle. I’ve been a little more careful since 😂
@@dylanwhite6539 i have a 1/10 scale 10 lbs car that i hit myself at like 30 mph from behind because i was doing a fly by and it turned towards me :D and that made me fall to my knees and i`m 200 lbs
I've given up on Traxxas. I sold my E revo 2.0 like a month ago. I got tired of fixing it. Every time I cartwheel it or weird land, something breaks. It either the driveshaft pop out or the rods. Anyway, I got me an Arrma Kraton V3 now. Man this thing is so tough. It drives well and so balance when jumping. and it's so easy to maintenance(4 screws off and you get to the diff). I am never going back to Traxxas again.
Right out of the box, the Xmaxx just won't back flip well. The wheelie bar will hit the face of the jump and stop rotation. Also, you just don't have the wheel speed at stock gearing to rotate that heavy RC. Gear up a little and remove the wheelie bar and you should be good to go for flips. The Xmaxx is tough as nails and EASY to work on. The body will hold up OK as long as you improvise some sort of washer for the screws. I just cut a used, plastic oil jug and made little washers from that. They blend with the black plastic well and are basically free. Just take a little time to make them look nice. You will also HAVE to spend a little time and reinforce the body shell...especially from where the roll bars connect to the bed and back. Any roll-over or landing on the tail will trash the body at the bed/tailgate. Some folks recommend the Max-6 ESC, but I have had no problems with the Traxxas one. I will tell you that you will likely need to buy the upgraded servo for it. The stock servo will likely fail. It's quite under powered for a truck that size. In fact the "upgraded" servo should be standard. Some will suggest the RPM hubs, but I personally have NOT had an issue with them breaking. Though, the bigger bearings would be nice (they only make rear hubs though, pfffft). Take the wheel bearings out after any....ANY dirty, muddy, wet, damp runs. Clean them thoroughly, pack with grease and reinstall. Those small inner bearings will get trashed if you don't take care of them. One more thing: Take the set screw out of the pinon gear, clean it thoroughly, and reinstall with HEAVY thread lock. The pinon will come loose if you don't.
You need the receipt for the xmaxx and You will just have to take pictures of the holes where the screws pulled out ,and tell them you only ran it once. No major jumps and a couple tumbles later all the screws were torn threw the body.. I'll tell you how to re enforce the new body.. dry wall hex shaped tape the sticky stuff and silicone . Also I cut out squares that fit in the screw holes with washers and it helped alot.. eventually they rip through again but not the first run. Also Proline sells a body for 100.00 that is supposed to be for the XMaXx thicker plastic.. And there's is a Russian company that does have a indestructible body. For 125.00 plus shipping but don't give them your credit card number lol use a prepaid see what they want first.. Check out proline first . More dependable...
I used 20 million weight fluid #5040 In Diffs. have a set of those tires 4 sale. Just Sayin Never been used .Tires are the first thing I upgraded upon purchase of XMAXX. I went ahead and bought the Badlands.They are heavier than stock wheels... Try 20 million weight fluid for diffs...for mile long wheelies..Its like bubble gum..
kacimierz hey if you're not even married yet and you have to convince her by the truck and if she don't like it maybe you Oughta consider not marrying her just think what it's going to be after you get married
I have owned an xmax for a few months now it's a great truck very durable way stronger than you're e revo but it will need some upgrades.. I have upgraded my esc to a max 6 and no problems so far after burning out 2 traxxas escs and I burnt out 2 normal 2085 servos you will need a 2085x and that's about all you need I prefer the smc 9200 mah batteries they have a very good run time and i like the metal plates they have also had no problems with them so far and almost forgot you will need to upgrade the spur and pinion I jumped it a few times and broke pinion and spur
welcome to the xmaxx club! you should watch some kevin talbot vids he has alot of the tips n tricks! he puts his thru hell hope you like yours as much as i like mine my all time favorite basher!!
@@jezzab8146 the youtube ch is made for my racing buddys to look at. Don't really car about subscribers not looking to earn any 💰. Is he Ur boyfriend and you don't have any videos
I reinforced my body with a coating of rite stuff(gasket maker), 1 fiberglass layer, followed by another coating of rite stuff. Bashing the xmaxx for months now stock body.
Thats a hard choice. They are so different. If you have the space to run an Xmaxx, it may be better. The Maxx is a lot of fun and its super quick. It also does flips very easily.
Hey man how would you compare the xmaxx to the erevo 2.0? Is it worth the extra 300+ dollars? Does it drive totally different? I have an erevo and am just curious thanks.
Its very different. Not even close. The Xmaxx is bigger, heavier, slower, and doesn't control in the air as well as the E Revo. The E Revo is a stunt truck. After driving the Xmaxx a bit, I forget how nimble an RC can be when I pick my E Revo back up.
I use the blue loctite. Make sure you let it sit over night to dry. Also make sure the screw is on the fat part of the shaft and its flush. If its not tight and flush against the flat part, it will rock and work itself loose.
Its way tougher than you think 😊Clear gorilla tape on the inside at the screw points and washers works well. You'll wear that body down anyway. This trucks a basher. I have orange one as well. My UDR is black with orange stickers as well👍🏿
Hi and congradulations! Yes, everyone made this 2$ fix … Traxxas sometimes is …… Watch out Kevin Talbot, he is very in the Xmaxx and knows all the 'have to mods' sooner or later have to be done. I don't have an XMaxx because it is so expensive and with the remommanded HopUps it is even more expensive … Can't wait the see your ideas! Have fun!

I finally got my X maxx and your video was a selling point. I also do not plan on trashing mine. I am currious about bigger batteries. I bought the 6700 series as you are running. I do have an 8s truck. Have you run the bigger batteries yet for performance?
Dang man I love that orange sweet color I bought mine when they first came out kinda limited to color...but hey word of advice u need the body spacer that go under the screws that is a very heavy machine and need them forsure other then that x-maxx is a great buy Awesome truck Man
Hey I have one too the xmaxx club is fun but there are some upgrades you should do to like upgrading the a arms to the better rpm a arms using some washers on the body where all the screws are upgrade the esc to a hobby wing upgrade the pinion and spur to solid metal also beef up front and rear diffs you dont have to do it all at once but those are some weak spots
ouch that gave you a cut on your leg. be careful bro. it can hurt you real bad man. i've been doing planes for 19 years. and rc cars for 19 years and helicopters for 12 years. be safe man good day. enjoy the xmaxx

Thanks! You cant go wrong with either.
I'm sure you know by now but Traxxas has a new revision on the body screws both of the x-max that I just bought has them
yeah that came out just after this video. Its like Traxxas saw this video or something lol

I've had mine for almost a year, I'm very happy with it, never had the body problem you did, but those washers will go on my next one.
I have its smaller brother MAXX with orange body and i love it. Such a tank and with the 3S battery on full charge it hauls.
Just got mine yesterday. Only ran it on 6s for about 10mins on pavement. Waiting for the snow and mud to go away. It's such a cool truck.
Just wait until you get 8s

Get Cen hinge pins.
Rpm rear hubs they come in a kit with both of them and the bearings as well the rear bearings will go out as soon as you start bashing. Also by the stock stiff Springs that Traxxas offers for this and I promise you you won't be disappointed
Man I wish I could afford one of those. Left the LEO profession and need a hobby to make me smile again 🤩
I was Almost an LEO. I'm sure you will find you something. Maybe consider the Maxx instead?
It's lexan, plastic that's thinner than construction paper. Using washers to reinforce the areas around the screws is a good idea or you could use a strip of plumbers tape (bridged between screw posts and shaped to the body contours) and/or strong tape (on the inside) like gorilla or duct tape. There has got to be dozens of ways (from cheap and quick to expensive and detailed) to strengthen the lexan without covering the body graphics. A little research can go a long way or experiment and develope a whole new technique that's perfect for your style of RC operation. What works best for me is to remove the stock shell and buy 7 or 8 disposable bodies then destroy every last one of them.
"I need a bigger yard"! Great car, man!
haha Thanks
I just bought one. They come with big plastic reinforcement on the body now. A arms and hubs are weak though.
I just bought one myself. But glad I went with 7200mah and 100c burst. It needs it with all that wt

I am never going back to Traxxas again.
I'm still loving my E Revo 2.0. Its one of my favorite RC's. I've not been impressed by what I have seen out of the Kraton.
Orange, Dope truck bro
Sweet Xmaxx! I want one of these for Christmas 🎄 👍🚀🚀🚀
This video was made 2 years ago... But I was wanting to know what you prefer the E revo 2.0 or the X Max I am tossed up between the 2 ?
The E Revo 2.0. Its my number one RC
Right out of the box, the Xmaxx just won't back flip well. The wheelie bar will hit the face of the jump and stop rotation.

You will also HAVE to spend a little time and reinforce the body shell...especially from where the roll bars connect to the bed and back. Any roll-over or landing on the tail will trash the body at the bed/tailgate. Some folks recommend the Max-6 ESC, but I have had no problems with the Traxxas one.

In fact the "upgraded" servo should be standard. Some will suggest the RPM hubs, but I personally have NOT had an issue with them breaking.

Clean them thoroughly, pack with grease and reinstall. Those small inner bearings will get trashed if you don't take care of them. One more thing: Take the set screw out of the pinon gear, clean it thoroughly, and reinstall with HEAVY thread lock. The pinon will come loose if you don't.
You need the receipt for the xmaxx and You will just have to take pictures of the holes where the screws pulled out ,and tell them you only ran it once.

Also I cut out squares that fit in the screw holes with washers and it helped alot.. eventually they rip through again but not the first run. Also Proline sells a body for 100.00 that is supposed to be for the XMaXx thicker plastic.. And there's is a Russian company that does have a indestructible body. For 125.00 plus shipping but don't give them your credit card number lol use a prepaid see what they want first.. Check out proline first . More dependable...
What about that flex seal liquid stuff?
I used 20 million weight fluid #5040 In Diffs. have a set of those tires 4 sale. Just Sayin Never been used .Tires are the first thing I upgraded upon purchase of XMAXX. I went ahead and bought the Badlands.They are heavier than stock wheels... Try 20 million weight fluid for diffs...for mile long wheelies..Its like bubble gum..

kacimierz cringe asf. Maybe if you save your allowance she gives you, then you can buy it one day..
Definitely get some washers for the body mount screws, and eventually your gonna want a max6 esc 😎
Nice truck and cool property! 😎
Thanks!
Cool footage man. I'm thinkn bout getting one..
How well did the washers work after u installed them sir?
@@brandonoliphant6587 Fantastic. I think they come with body washers stock now. I think they also have a washer kit that is made for the body.
you wanted a tank - you got a tank! 😎
I meant a Sherman lol
I have owned an xmax for a few months now it's a great truck very durable way stronger than you're e revo but it will need some upgrades.. I have upgraded my esc to a max 6 and no problems so far after burning out 2 traxxas escs and I burnt out 2 normal 2085 servos you will need a 2085x and that's about all you need I prefer the smc 9200 mah batteries they have a very good run time and i like the metal plates they have also had no problems with them so far and almost forgot you will need to upgrade the spur and pinion I jumped it a few times and broke pinion and spur
If this ESC fails I'll get a Max6.

Sweet truck! Way to go!
Nice truck man that thing is a beast I can wait for mine till my birthday in March my wife presented me
I was wicked excited when my Xmaxx was delivered and to say it’s fun would be a major understatement
It is! Enjoy it.

Tom Gagliardo I can second that was a hard pill to swallow at first in the ole wallet but let me say!! She a beaut Clark😂😂
Fuck the x Maxx
@@rcmafia2 XD
@RCMAFIA....im sure he cares massively your MASSIVE competition with 28 subscribers and all those views at least 30 your the man...
@@jezzab8146 the youtube ch is made for my racing buddys to look at. Don't really car about subscribers not looking to earn any 💰. Is he Ur boyfriend and you don't have any videos
This is literally the toughest RC truck on the planet lol Very funny watching someone not launch it 65' over a lake and then drive across said lake.
I really like the black edition. Congrats on a cool car 👌🏻
Thanks!
Is it worth the money thinking about getting one
Thats up to you. I think it is personally
I have two xmaxx's and had to buy the washers it's a great basher and it's great for mudding have fun
this is the first channel i watch where they actually respect it, i think everyone else just has so much money they dont care lol
I am not rough on my RC's off camera.
Happy birthday 🎉🎂🍰🎁🎊
Thanks!
You'll love the new body it has Square washes
Yeah I saw. I actually have the washers. I just never put them on.
I love your excitement! I've had my eye on this truck for a long time. I recently picked up a Kraton and am enjoying it. The x-maxx may be next.
Thanks! Dude it's fun!
I reinforced my body with a coating of rite stuff(gasket maker), 1 fiberglass layer, followed by another coating of rite stuff. Bashing the xmaxx for months now stock body.
Nice ,congratulations,🎉I want this 👍🏻
You deserve way more subscribers love the channel and congrats on the xmaxx
This thing is a big daddy. 🤤🤤 I don't know when I will get my own.😭
Nice truck I hope to pick up this orange edition Xmaxx also it looks great
which one would you pick if u had to have one the xmaxx or the maxx with the wide kit just for overall bashing and having fun!!! great vids luv em!
Thats a hard choice. They are so different. If you have the space to run an Xmaxx, it may be better. The Maxx is a lot of fun and its super quick. It also does flips very easily.
Hey man how would you compare the xmaxx to the erevo 2.0? Is it worth the extra 300+ dollars? Does it drive totally different? I have an erevo and am just curious thanks.
Its very different. Not even close. The Xmaxx is bigger, heavier, slower, and doesn't control in the air as well as the E Revo. The E Revo is a stunt truck. After driving the Xmaxx a bit, I forget how nimble an RC can be when I pick my E Revo back up.
Outsourced RC awesome thank you I love my erevo
Anyone have any suggestions on keeping the pinion on the motor shaft? I’ve tried blue and red loctite.
I use the blue loctite. Make sure you let it sit over night to dry. Also make sure the screw is on the fat part of the shaft and its flush. If its not tight and flush against the flat part, it will rock and work itself loose.
Great color!!
I agree!
Hell yea brother! 👍
Its way tougher than you think 😊Clear gorilla tape on the inside at the screw points and washers works well. You'll wear that body down anyway. This trucks a basher. I have orange one as well. My UDR is black with orange stickers as well👍🏿
I want that UDR but I really have no reason to get one.
Nice pick up can’t go wrong with a xmaxx
Today i played with my Xmaxx. It's been two months since i last bashed it. Man it felt good ! I killed it now it time repair & bash soon 👍🏽
I gave that place about a week until the grass is gone (what’s left of it anyways) and it’s a giant mud puddle.
Im getting this for Christmas ... I been wanting this for awhile
Oh yeah! you are going to love this thing.
Hi and congradulations! Yes, everyone made this 2$ fix … Traxxas sometimes is …… Watch out Kevin Talbot, he is very in the Xmaxx and knows all the 'have to mods' sooner or later have to be done.
I don't have an XMaxx because it is so expensive and with the remommanded HopUps it is even more expensive … Can't wait the see your ideas! Have fun!

I’m going to start with the Maxx, eventually lead into the X-Maxx. I’m starting this new hobby come summer time, can’t wait.
Its a good choice.
Mojave then the Xmaxx.
I finally got my X maxx and your video was a selling point. I also do not plan on trashing mine. I am currious about bigger batteries. I bought the 6700 series as you are running. I do have an 8s truck. Have you run the bigger batteries yet for performance?
Nope. Same batteries.
yep something happened to me. The pinion gear will come lose next. then the pins in the outer upper control arms full out
Dang man I love that orange sweet color I bought mine when they first came out kinda limited to color...but hey word of advice u need the body spacer that go under the screws that is a very heavy machine and need them forsure other then that x-maxx is a great buy Awesome truck Man
how much does it cost?
With buying charger and batteries, and having to replace the ESC, about $ 1500 total. I'll get one when they replace the faulty ESC.
$1200-$1400 depending on where you get it. Sometimes you can get a deal. I have not had to replace the ESC yet, and I've had it a year.
I would have spent a little extra for a clear body to run it. That orange one is sweet.
Indeed very cool mate 👍👏👏 big like and high five from Denmark Lase
Welcome to the world of Xmaxx
Good Video. I am looking forward to seeing your future plans for the X-MAxx work out good.
Had the same problem with my rustler 4x4 got body reinforcements from Traxxas works great. Did you try something like that besides the washers?
And also did you get the new roof skid plate
@@mitch5800 No, but I am
Is your reply for the reinforcements or the skid plate?
Plus bro you should create playlists, I’m sure a lot of people will appreciate that
@@mitch5800 The skid plate. I might get around to making the play lists
Hey I have one too the xmaxx club is fun but there are some upgrades you should do to like upgrading the a arms to the better rpm a arms using some washers on the body where all the screws are upgrade the esc to a hobby wing upgrade the pinion and spur to solid metal also beef up front and rear diffs you dont have to do it all at once but those are some weak spots
I'm going to replace things as they break. I like to see how RC's run while they are stock.
ouch that gave you a cut on your leg. be careful bro. it can hurt you real bad man. i've been doing planes for 19 years. and rc cars for 19 years and helicopters for 12 years. be safe man good day. enjoy the xmaxx
I've literally ran my self over with every Xmaxx I have driven lol.
