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.
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!
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
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. 😎
With this Video, you have now 1303 Videos online! My Birthday is the 13th of March - so it triggered my inner monk so hard that i have to comment this Video. 😊 I love the most of your videos and content! thanks for your inspiriation and the fun you share, this is one of the main reasons that i now have 3 RCs(xmaxx, maxxV2, Sledge) on my own and i startet my old Hobby again After 25 years (when i had a Tamyia fighter buggy in the 90s). Always great fun to watch you when i am done with my bashing! Greetings from south germany ! ! XMAXX IS THE BEST RC CAR !
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
Awesome stuff Kev 😱!!! That jump over the steel structure was insane 😜. I too was surprised this setup doesn't add that much weight. Loving my M2C'd Green Bertha 😍. Appreciate the mention Brother. 😎💪👊👊
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!
I've had a larger motor in my X-Maxx for a couple years and it has been almost noting but breaking the drive-train. I am curious to see how yours holds up, best of luck!
Kevin...have you considered running larger diameter shocks in your rigs? When i was running 1/8th scale truggies i found bigger diameter shocks helped on jumps and overall dampening.
I'm probably sharing too much here, regardless. Kevin reminds me of this brilliant kid I used to know as a kid, he was the son of lawyer so his f'ing toy collection was epic, when I came over to visit, he was intense in how he played. Basically I was an outside observer cause it was all him, I was simply an outlier out of my league. Seemed he took playing to a professional standard. Apparently one day one of his molded soldiers went missing and I was accused, I had no interest in that, nor would I steal from a friend anyhow. That was the last of that, but I always thought that some kids can bring "playing" to a pretty epic level. Passion is a powerful thing.
I went and did a thing. It should be to me the end of next week. Also ordered RPM bearing hubs and pins along with standard servo adapter and HD servo saver spring.
The absolute best channel for everything RC! Totally unbiased reviews and Kev puts the vehicle’s through torture..lol If they survive on this channel..then I buy one 👍
not sure which is better..your mate having a "loo review" on the bush, or the little doggy chasing it around. let me know. great job Kev!. upgrades errr..hmm..possible and maybe hold up in the long term. thanks bud for the great video.
Looks like great fun was had by all, or most at least!! Poor little doggie!! Nice you didn't knacker the poor thing too much, on trickle/part throttle. Entertaining video. Thanks. Al.
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 💪
Awesome bash! love the 1st person flips and jumps , can't believe the gopro stayed on there! nobody does it quite like you brother. thanks for punishing the parts!
hey kev can you get a 6 channel dumbo and see if you feel a difference between the 6 channel and your 4 channel, cuz i can almost feel its a bit slower than my traxxas radio. and at some points it would just get really delayed when the car was right in front of me. thanks!
Dog chases and those epic jumps are so fun to watch I also had dogs chasing my metal tank, they were scared when i shot the tank with that explosion sound 😅 its on my channel also
hello Kevin, do you know any website where you can download the measurements and dimensions of the bodywork of the Nissan patrol gr y60 at 1:16 or 1:10 scale to be able to print it on a 3D printer?
Got myself my first rc, x-maxx from watching your vids. Put a max6 in, what best gearing would you recommend for max6 and stock motor. Also what wheels tyres. As stock tyres blow the foam out if I use the self right.
It's unbelievable how powerful RC are these's day's. Same goes for how durable they are as well. You've gotta take your hat off to the engineer's that design these to be pretty much unbreakable n for a fair price.
also.. silly but, when dealing with 6 and 8s power... GORILLA duct tape is always great to line the inside of the wheels with. i usually use some sort of good super glue on the rubber.. apply a layer of duct tape, the super gloue again and more ductape. i do this 3 layers of each and it makes an INCREDIBLE difference in ballooning tires. i reckon you give it a shot. im sure youre aware of both these little tricks but i do believe both are worthy of becoming standard! then again youve just got loads of inventory so whatever bahahaha
Thanks kev! i have an rc car as well, the deerc 9310, which might be the world's best cheap rc car! also help me grow my channel! (i will be making some rc car videos too)
Extended hubs are going to cause alot more breakages. Thats probably what killed that bellcrank.
Knew this already and this is why I hate extended wheel hubs
Their just as bad is putting wheel spacers on trucks not good at all
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.
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.
It was it solid servo saver not the extensions
I got my Xmaxx because of you kev and I just want to say how much I love it, thanks for the inspiration I needed to get one!
Enjoy it!!
Have you had problems with the pinion staying on yet can’t find a way to keep it on
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
i did the same
i like RC Truck
This man just comes up with new ideas every time
flkra
true
Thats why he has such a huge fan base !
Super true
Ooohhhhh yeeeaaaaa
The dog chase was honestly the BEST of the whole video!!

Praying for your doggo!

Thank you for the info!!! I have been wondering what gearing would be hood all around for a motor like that...

Ya the driving makes it look good. But these trucks really are this tough.
On tik tok I've seen a dude drive his Maxx off a cliff and it survives somehow 😂
Awesome stuff Kev 😱!!! That jump over the steel structure was insane 😜. I too was surprised this setup doesn't add that much weight. Loving my M2C'd Green Bertha 😍. Appreciate the mention Brother. 😎💪👊👊
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!
Can you imagine that Raminator leccy conversion in that w.l xmaxx?!
I'd like to see a 4 motor, all wheel drive of that too! A motor on each wheel
The worlds longest x-maxx is no more. It's the one with the paddle tyres on it now.
kev should do a video on all 3 raminators when they are ready to go again (since the v3 raminator is broken at the moment)
I've had a larger motor in my X-Maxx for a couple years and it has been almost noting but breaking the drive-train. I am curious to see how yours holds up, best of luck!
100% same motor and max5. But rear diff keeps blowing up
Mine is the same I replaced pinion gears often and replaced rear and front diffs twice
That X-MAXX is metal gear SOLID!!
LET THE BASHMENT BEGIN!
(yesssssss)
Kev and the dog both were clearly enjoying the x-maxx to the max 😂
Kevin...have you considered running larger diameter shocks in your rigs? When i was running 1/8th scale truggies i found bigger diameter shocks helped on jumps and overall dampening.
That pupper was the most adorable ever! My pups love to chase the little RCs around.
Is nice! M2c , perfect pass,xmaxx tough baby.
What is the difference between a brushed motor and a non brushed one, i know that brushed is more powerful but is there any other differences?
Brushless is more powerful and efficient
Glad you left your original mostly stock. It's a perfect running rig. Never mess with perfection! 👍
well perfect except for....................
TO THE MOOOOON
Personally I feel for the amount of money it costs, basically stock Xmaxxs are more worth it but time will tell!
I'd say max5 esc, better servo, and belted tires after that is just waste
I'm probably sharing too much here, regardless. Kevin reminds me of this brilliant kid I used to know as a kid, he was the son of lawyer so his f'ing toy collection was epic, when I came over to visit, he was intense in how he played.

That was the last of that, but I always thought that some kids can bring "playing" to a pretty epic level. Passion is a powerful thing.
The Xmaxx is still my favorite rc by far.
I went and did a thing. It should be to me the end of next week. Also ordered RPM bearing hubs and pins along with standard servo adapter and HD servo saver spring.
What gearing do you recommend for an xmaxx with the 1650kv motor?
The servo is so strong that bellcrank broke first
Imagine how hot the motor gets when it’s almost running on a 1/1 ratio gearing
The absolute best channel for everything RC!
Totally unbiased reviews and Kev puts the vehicle’s through torture..lol
If they survive on this channel..then I buy one
👍
I,m still suprised by the fact such large "Skockish" Xmaxx can be an almost indestructable RC car💪 hats off for Traxxas💪
Kev looking for esc and motor, servo and transmitter for a Hobao hyper sse, what do you recommend on a budget but fast?
Max 8
not sure which is better..your mate having a "loo review" on the bush, or the little doggy chasing it around. let me know. great job Kev!. upgrades errr..hmm..possible and maybe hold up in the long term. thanks bud for the great video.
Hey kev any update on the hot rod?
not at the moment
Good show man, the build was awsome guys, and the jumps were insane WOW!
I’m a kraton guy myself but I sure like the xmaxx I will have to buy one thanks kev you make the hobby so much fun
That was a really fun vid, good to see Steve in the workshop, and doggo at the end! I love it when you film the dogs chasing the Xmaxx.
Absolutely smashing video👏👏
I’m 41 and I think it’s about time I get a XMaxx.
Looks like great fun was had by all, or most at least!!
Poor little doggie!! Nice you didn't knacker the poor thing too much, on trickle/part throttle.
Entertaining video. Thanks.
Al.
you go the extra mile on every single video.. you have replaced hoonigan and other channels in my experience.
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 💪
I love RC because from kids to grandpa can bash together.
I had tons of fun watching those epic sends! so smooth and the upgrades seem to be a new take on xmaxx durability
i see you had aloooot of fun! awesome xmaxx is allways fun driving
Awesome bash! love the 1st person flips and jumps , can't believe the gopro stayed on there! nobody does it quite like you brother. thanks for punishing the parts!
Epic parts thanks bro!!
This is this
the dog become content for this video in the end 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
@ 14:40 - Those four clips or so, that x-maxx is zoomin honestly
The M2C is brilliant engineered and strengthening the rig in the right places 💪👍👍👍
I love when kev uploads and when the vid is 20 mns keep the great work❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kevin Talbot you are the absolute GOAT 🐐 of the RC Community, keep it up.
I love these dog-chase scenes! Loved the ones with the UDR back a while, love this one.
16:41 YESS haha. Gotta be a distance record!! That was siiiick
My xmaxx keeps blowing out the rear diff it’s happened multiple times any ideas?
Bulkhead probably
What's a good cheap radio control with long-range for my 3.3 nitro T-Maxx? Mighty t Max keeps running away from me at Full Throttle.
hey kev can you get a 6 channel dumbo and see if you feel a difference between the 6 channel and your 4 channel, cuz i can almost feel its a bit slower than my traxxas radio. and at some points it would just get really delayed when the car was right in front of me. thanks!
Heavy XMAXX = GAME OVER🔥🔥🔥 GOOD JOB KEV! 👊👍💯🤘🏆🏆🏆
Bit off topic, but did you ever try putting a cable tie around tyres to stop them from expanding at speed?
Dog chases and those epic jumps are so fun to watch
I also had dogs chasing my metal tank, they were scared when i shot the tank with that explosion sound 😅 its on my channel also
Kevin the crack is from the Gopro bashing into the chassis from the hard landings and compression into the concrete 👍👍
Hey kev I have been watching your videos for quite a while and I have now 20 rcs because of you thanks for the awesome content
What do you suggest as a motor/esc combo without adding the weight
The hex extensions put more stress on the rest of your linkage I'd imagine, has anyone had issues?
What do you think is the best possible battery for an traxxas xmax
kev I finally got a rc car it's a traxxas slash kit version and I'm really having fun with building and bashing it to
Wow you were in my home town of melksham. I recognize that skate park anywhere. Can't believe it wow.great skate park.gutted I missed you🙁
will the Dumbo radio remember the calibration and endpoints for each receiver it has bound to it or do you have to redo it every time
Have you done a video on the big gens ace batteries? 11000mah for the krapton and 8500 for a xmaxx.. they are impressive
The best rc is whichever puts the biggest smile on your face, and kev, you had a BIG smile!❤️
hi mate whats the best offroad basher for under 300 quid or just any rc car really
hello Kevin, do you know any website where you can download the measurements and dimensions of the bodywork of the Nissan patrol gr y60 at 1:16 or 1:10 scale to be able to print it on a 3D printer?
His face at 5:28 looking at that arc welded, I mean soldered 😂, plug is priceless. 😂😂😂
Wich cam and GPS are you using
Try the Bezgar HM161. I have it only electronics have broken nothing else. I've had is since Christmas and beat it to hell and back
Got myself my first rc, x-maxx from watching your vids. Put a max6 in, what best gearing would you recommend for max6 and stock motor. Also what wheels tyres. As stock tyres blow the foam out if I use the self right.
Done use self right if you countered with heavier wheels you beat on the diffs
It's unbelievable how powerful RC are these's day's. Same goes for how durable they are as well.
You've gotta take your hat off to the engineer's that design these to be pretty much unbreakable n for a fair price.
The onboard footage was really cool! Cute dog! 🤣
hey kev is the traxxas maxx good for a beginner basher and what is the biggest motor and esc you can put in it
I've been building Rc car's since 82, never too old. Not into bashing, but it's fun to watch other people do it 😂
I’d love to see you do a video on the Max 4. Great videos mate
The only thing that sucks is the perfect pass servo is no longer available, can't seem to find it anywhere
How woud you kev compare sledge to x maxx in durability?
We’re loving m2c Xmaxx combo cheers buddy biggest smiles
So upgrade to Max6 esc and I can run 8s lipos ?
Right now I have a stock Version1 6s with metal spur and pinion,
Here's one for you can you buy every part on the xmax if so would it be cheaper to billed your own
Great video Kev. The m2c upgrades on the xmaxx seem to be working really well 💯💥😀 I'm so pleased to see you do a review on them 😀
Love all the “send it” content Kev! Beautifully done my friend. 💪🏼
This video is like his older xmaxx videos from 5years ago. Love it
You are the best KEV. Thanks for making me laugh every video!! My dog chases my max and loves it 👍. You rock and thanks again 👑
Do you change any of the center gearing? Pinon and Spur?
ever tried boiling your RPM parts for a few mins when new out of package?? ive noticed a notable difference
also.. silly but, when dealing with 6 and 8s power... GORILLA duct tape is always great to line the inside of the wheels with. i usually use some sort of good super glue on the rubber.. apply a layer of duct tape, the super gloue again and more ductape. i do this 3 layers of each and it makes an INCREDIBLE difference in ballooning tires. i reckon you give it a shot. im sure youre aware of both these little tricks but i do believe both are worthy of becoming standard! then again youve just got loads of inventory so whatever bahahaha
Great job guys! Kevin, can you tell us what you are using for a soldering iron when you are installing ends on ESCs and batteries?
Been waiting for this one. That's awesome!.. Don't have an Xmax.. yet.. but I got every m2c part on my Kraton 6s so know they make good stuff.
I always can not wait for you vids Kev :)
16:30 Poggers (glad i find your channel! i love it)
Have you tried the full size X-Maxx WideMaxx kit yet?
Traxxas has come out with a wide Xmaxx kit maybe you should try that too!
I've always wondered when I'd see a dog chasing an rc car on this channel and now I have so I'm happy.
Thanks kev! i have an rc car as well, the deerc 9310, which might be the world's best cheap rc car! also help me grow my channel! (i will be making some rc car videos too)
19:54 BUT.. Can it take Stemps?
Love the video one of the best videos of the X max that you made
hey Kev, quick question, when you build up your trucks and such, why do you wear gloves? wanna keep mating parts clean or keep yourself clean?
Love the BOOM. another awesome video. Super fun.
Your stuff is off the wall!
Editing is also great. 👌
Keep it up 👍🤙
