    • @aidansrc2724
      @aidansrc2724 2 года назад +4

      Try using lock tite and a hardened steel pinion, I had the same problem when mine was new, it might just need to be broken in

    The dog chase was honestly the BEST of the whole video!!
    I used to do that with my dogs when they were younger.
    One passed away suddenly after battling heartworms about a year ago,
    and his sister is still here hopefully for a while longer.
    But she is already 12 years old and is having problems with her shoulders and hips.
    Thanks for including that! Made me both happy and sad at the same time!

    Class upgrades there Kevin! I've had a nitro Revo for some time now which is totally stock, and it runs perfectly well. I won't be changing things on it at all. It's good to hear you say how well the XMaxx runs in its standard form, shows how reliable they can be. You two had a ball by the looks of things, and that jump over the climbing frame....jeez, well done for using the throttle a bit to lift the nose. 😎

  • @DJ.1001
    @DJ.1001 2 года назад +98

    Extended hubs are going to cause alot more breakages. Thats probably what killed that bellcrank.

    • @zat-1-fury
      @zat-1-fury 2 года назад +2

      Knew this already and this is why I hate extended wheel hubs

    • @meanf1502
      @meanf1502 2 года назад +6

      Their just as bad is putting wheel spacers on trucks not good at all

    • @SebastianLong
      @SebastianLong 2 года назад +3

      Well, he did also put outcast 8s wheels on it making the center point of the wheel in the same location so it shouldnt cause any issues.

    • @Nick_Parau
      @Nick_Parau 2 года назад +5

      not necesarily, in this case the wheels he used are very low offset, so with the hubs it has got the offset just about where the stock ones would be. A major thing he changed that i would say is the culprit the the thicker servo saver spring. it has less giv,e so it puts a lot more strain on the arms and servo.

    • @KarmeloPlays
      @KarmeloPlays 2 года назад

      It was it solid servo saver not the extensions

  • @AMM0394
    @AMM0394 2 года назад +17

    Have this exact motor and esc/ m2c setup and my xmaxx has honestly never been more reliable. I love the truck all over again you’re going to absolutely love it. I’m running 26 pinion 52 spur with trencher tires. FYI, Sky rc makes a $15 dual fan that with a little trimming fits perfectly on top of the motor and in between the brace

    Awesome vid, i finally got my Xmaxx at Christmas after watching your videos for months and its an absolute beast, i have done the m2c chassis brace and shock o rings also replaced the hinge pins for the set hinge pins and with thos small upgrades its now a tank. I will eventually change the electronics once the stock ones have broken. Cant wait to see more Xmaxx videos 💪

    That is some of the hardest abuse I think I've ever seen beyond someone throwing the car off a 40 story building or a cliff or something. Probs helped by very expert drivers but awesome none the less! Love it.
    The trees probably take allot of the shock out of the landings though

    Kevin, I love how you can come up with so many different ideas for videos that have to with the X-maxx. Also you should try to fit the electric raminator motor into the world's longest X-maxx!
