      @@sf8334 Ya true but I think the motor just runs hot in general. It runs hot on the X-Maxx too and 1200KV is a bit much for 8S LiPo. This motor has never really been the best idea, something like the HobbyWing 5687-SL 1100KV would probably run much smoother and much cooler.

    I have five Traxxas trucks and ALL OF THEM have had to be serviced for one thing or another and none are over a year old. Are they FAST oh yeah but could I refer them to a buddy no unless they like fixing them every time they take em for a run. Its like Traxxas designs them to break so you can buy the parts that should have been on the truck in the beginning. I'm glad I have a hobby shop that will fix whatever problem I have with my Traxxas and they do it free of charge.

    Hello! I took the tuning pins off my XMAXX motor and never broke the gears again; the old paper sheet system reduces the play between pinion and crown which with pins is too large. I will do the same with my XRT. Try to believe!😉

  • @extremerc1749

    Looks like the grub screw on the pinion backed itself out and that’s what caused the gears to strip. Not the flex in the chassis or the hard hit. It may have contributed to it. Make sure to check things like that before running for the first time and maybe even re loctite it. 👍🏻

    I get chassis flex but I was just running a brand new XRT. As I’m driving it to “ break in” and warm up to it, the gears didn’t exact same thing. All I was doing was spring up and down my road. lol. Not even jumping just driving. My first Traxxas I bought myself. I’ve been running kratons for a while and nothing broke. One warmup run a couple small wheelies and screeech. lol.

    The pin labels are what tells you where to position it based on which gears you're using. H for example is for 16/54 teeth, where I is for 26/46... They used to label them with the "key" showing which positions for the different gears.

    Those gears are very low quality sintered metal gears rather than hardened steel.
    Stripped them minutes into my first run on grass. No jumps or hammering the throttle.
    Traxxas makes good stuff but their gears are abysmal. Definitely considering the price tag.

    A extra large Rustler, wonder if that what the XRT stand for, Xtra Rustler Truggy. I think it was the sudden stop when landing that stripped out the gears. When you were back flipping it you had it full throttle and when you landed yes you were off the throttle but everything came to a extreme stop. The motor is like a wood working trim router motor and even though the drive train came to a stop that motor was spinning probably 60,000 rpm's a stop so suddenly it took out the teeth. I have seen guys do this with routers and either rips out of their hand or bends a motor shaft. Gears are much cheaper than a motor, upgrading to harder steel gears might work but in my experience weak links are designed for a reason. That being said you don't want it breaking every time you take it out and with my son's limited driving skills I have up graded certain things to avoid that. Concrete and RC's don't play well together so I avoid skate parks with big vehicles and use 1/16 size but still have to use commonsense. Showing off to bystander to show durability and stunt skills is my weakness.

    I'm not tryin to bash Traxxas, but this is a chronic issue with most of their vehicles. Because they're almost all plastic, that chassis flex keeps happening and keeps the issues occurring. It's cheap to fix, but it becomes a chronic issue the more you play with it. They need to engineer some braces that will actually work. I see the same issues with the 4x4 stampede, slash, hoss and maxx series.

    Yes i know the pinion and spur stripping is very good for the amount of abuse that u gave it, but why not upgrade it to better spurs and pinions hot racing, gds, or other brands make, then nothing is going to break if u gave it the exact same amount of abuse, so yea it is good that onyl the spur and pinion broke, but wont you be frustrated if it broke every run and every time u have to change it, and it is no doubt traxxas metal is really bad for their gears compared to other brands and they simply cannot hold up to the trucks weight and force. Every single person who i know who owns an x-maxx has at least had gear issues twice with stokc gears and im starting to doubt traxxas is purposely doing this so they still have guaranteed income if people buy their replacement gears. If this is not true, explainto me why they made hardened diff gears for example and then stopped making them after, only making hardened pinions gears but not spur gears in the same mod1 size, when they clearly have the materials and are able to do so but then stopped making them, but still make them for other vehicles which dont have gear issues in the beginning but make hardened gears? Explain, this is the best explanation i can come up with, and i dont blame them, money is still their main objective, business is just like that. Anyways if i were u i think we need to stop lying to ourselves here and just accept the fact traxxas gears just suck, period, replace them. Also it is really easy for you to get gears if you want as you are a hobbyshop and could easily get a hot racing spur and robinson racing pinion as u guys are supplied by amain or at least yr website is so yea, future mod, easily don to eliminate gear problems which is the most important upgrade for an xmaxx and xrt for sure

The same goes for Arrma with their 1/5 scale lineup, it's simple physics, these RC's are massive and heavy, and they can't take a consistent bashing. If you're going to spend a grand, get one of the Losi 1/5 DBXL or the 5ive-T. The sweet spot for bashing is 1/7, 1/8, 1/10, and even some 1/14 scale RC's are more durable, but to each his or her own.

    I've seen a couple videos now where you defend the XRT/Xmaxx crappy pot metal gears that strip for literally everybody. Why do you defend these obvious low quality components so much?
    Don't get me wrong, I think both are great trucks overall (I own an XRT myself), but this one specific thing is an obvious weak point and Traxxas really has no excuse for not shipping these trucks with machined hardened steel gears to fix this issue. It has been known for a LONG time that these break very very easily even by experienced drivers who aren't bashing particularly hard. Everything else about these trucks is great. It's just comical that you keep defending this design when I've literally never once in my life have I heard of an XRT/Xmaxx owner that hasn't stripped a set or two of these gears before finally upgrading to hardened steel and never looking back. Even Traxxas themselves knows the design is bad because in the "Ultimate" version of each of these trucks you get machined hardened steel gears.
