Kevin is 100% why I bought one as my first RC. Heck I wouldn't have bought any RC without this channel. Traxxas owes him money. Only issues I've had are the inner wheel bearings immediately had all their seals pop off and of coarse, the rear of the body bending down and cracking.
Traxxas owes him money?!?!???? HOW!!???
Traxxas are trash, do yourself a favour and get a thunder Tiger/ team associated vehicle, practically indestructible straight out of the box.
And if you want to make it indestructible use RPM parts, I recommend leaving the stock hinge pins for the suspension arms on because if anything is going to break you want it to be them, very cheap to replace and can be changed in 30 seconds.
And I jump my trucks off 5 story high buildings without any problems
@@sinisterintentions3273 why would you even do that lol
2:13 metal, plastic, HAMMER, BANG!😂😂
100% agree - "the best car is the one that puts the biggest smile on your face!" Run what you like! This is supposed to be FUN!
Yup, even if it’s a cheapo car, you can still have so much fun with it.
More fun with cheap cars, the bodge repairs are what make it fun! 😉👍
Agreed.
My favourite out of my collection is my kyosho madvan, love it.
@@lukenukem1164 hahahah. I know. My lunchbox on steroids also wins it from all the Arrma's and traxxas's 😉
Amen...bought 4 those Wl toys brushed ones...wicked fun
Everyone gangsta till you see an rc car at a rc boat club.
The best in depth review of the XMaxx EVER ! Very qualified and based on years of experience. These are the videos we benefit so much from. You are a true value for the community and industry. 😘😘😘
thanks kimberly :)
I agree i got back in the hobby used to run nitro savages t maxx i never would have bought a x maxx without his videos
Traxxas has made a lot of improvements I love the x maxx my opinion best rc monster truck basher ever
This video was definitely something I needed to watch. I just picked up a used 6s X-Maxx and I'm going to give it a once over and start running it.
One day I’ll have one lol. But it costs more than what I paid for my daily driver 😂🤷🏻♂️
No capppp
Build one buy a few parts at a time you can build a roller for $500
How much did you pay for your daily driver and what car did you buy?
@@jbd2 oh ok sick
Valdemar Perez III Chevy cobalt for 500 bucks lol
Guess who just bought one a few minutes ago? Me! i got the rock n roll version i will make many videos of it when it comes in. Love your videos Kev!
Re: the pinion coming loose, you could use a drill to create a shallow hole for the grub screw to sit in.
Tip: When you don't want to strip out a thread in plastic, then just turn a screw slowly anti clockwise until you feel the screw pop, because that's the point
where the thread of the screw and the thread in the plastic align with each other, and then you wil feel how easy the screw is getting back in.
And don't overtighten the screw because that could cause the plastic thread to strip anyways.
U described how to not cross thread it not how to not strip it. And going counter clockwise first goes for any screw not just plastic
Traxxas: “Kev, XMaxx sales are slightly declining...”
Kev: “Say no-more fam..”
Addam Coy The “Hoss” was a flop, so it’s best to resort back to their bread and butter LoL...
Addam Coy I’m in Cali too. A few Hobby shops around me have The Hoss but it’s not getting the attention people thought it would get. People still rather have the UDR, Slash Ultimate or the XMaxx. I’m sure I’ll get a XMaxx once I get to mess with one. My 6S and 8S Arrma’s have my attention right now 😩.
I like the Notorious though 🤙🏽!
@@XV3LimpiadorXV3 What the hell are you talking about? The Hoss ain't even out yet in most places.
Thomas Wielgomas 😂, I’m speaking on the behalf of what the RUclips reviewers say after their experience with them.
@@XV3LimpiadorXV3 Typical nonsense. It just became available. Have to wait and see.
Yep, it was you Kev that really made me say "yes" to the x-maxx. No regrets.
I like the metal vs plastic test! 😂
Plus it does not rust.
Hey Kevin! Here´s a request for a video: Nitro vs Electric, where you go through pros ands cons with owning and driving each!
Electric 100% the best ,fastest and most reliable .
I’ve only recently discovered your channel, it’s refreshing to see someone so enthusiastic about their hobby, your love for RC shines through in your videos and it’s a joy to watch. I had a traxxas slash prior to children arriving and was one of things I had to sacrifice but it’s great to live vicariously through your channel
Hope you can start the hobby agaion some time dude
I have 3 kids and one with special needs even, and I share the hobby with them... along with having some of my own fun. 😉. I believe us as parents we need some healthy stress relief once in a while and there is no reason to sacrifice one over the other buddy. Go get back into the hobby and have some fun! (Save for it if u have too, that’s what I do 😁👍). Good luck, be safe, and god bless!
@@KevinTalbotTV hey Kev. please tell my parents how great a xmaxx. I live in uae it is very expensive. please maybe give away an xmaxx to me. I always wanted a xmaxx but is is expensive. if not it is ok but just make a video how great a xmaxx is.
@@Yeshva322 bruh you just told one of the comments you got a hobby grade rc car. Dont rush in hobbys dude. Hobbys are for when you have money. If you need money just learn from the man itself. He sells things on ebay for a living. If he can be succesfull so do you.
@@haseefryan9940 thanks I will follow it
Got an XMAXX bc of this vid soTHANKS Kev!! Its deff a GREAT RC with LOTS of presence!!
Simply put
I NEED ONE!
Yes .. Yes.. You do ... Well worth it ....
Bigger in life!!
@@ericpeterson9676 🤙😂100% true .. Its pretty big 🤔 but thats what she said .....😂😂
Me personally I like 1/10 scale but I wouldn’t complain if I had a xmaxx
Hey well explained. I still run my original 6s Xmaxx and love it, still totally stock, only repairs have been the diff rings and pinions. Personally I dont think this truck has to be crazy fast to have fun, it doesn't need to win a race. It's all round handling and fun factor puts a bigger smile on my face than any of my other RC's.
I finally ran my 8s Kraton for the first time after sitting in the box since first shipment when I got it, then I ran my Xmaxx n Xmaxx is still my top dogg!!
Whats this ur 3rd Xmaxx in ur fleet?
STEVO D 313 glad to hear you got out and ran your 8S RCs!
Hell yea I just got a 8s one yesterday .traded my almost new 6s plus 100 cash for a nice decent one with some mods to a awesome guy I traded rcs with a couple times . He was like i know your sons gonna love it so I'll do it. HE IS A AWESOME FRIEND
I blew my stock gears up yesterday after 1 year of running, first spur blew up in 4 pieces then the pinion chipped a tooth.
When Kev showed the highlight real I was thinking where the green hut at.
A good tip I learned from Ryan Lutz about the grub screws on pinions, center drive couplers etc, is that the flatter the grub part of the screw the better lock it will provide. ie more force required to break it free from its torque. The manufacturing process' companies use on most grub screws leave a raised circular area around the outside of the screw like what can be seen on the rotor shaft in the video. Before instaling, put the grub screw on your hex driver and run the bottom of the screw across some sandpaper and give it a nice flat spot.
I just got my first proper RC truck, the Traxxas Maxx. The X-Maxx looked too intimidating as did the price tag since I had to buy batteries, a charger and a few other bits. My son is 10 and we're looking for something for him now in the 2s or 3s range. Love the videos, love the nonsense when racing.
I do like the orange anodized accents! It looks super cool.
Xmax looks good but I love my 6s Revo. Can't wait to see the 80cc engine in the raminator. Keep the vids coming Kev.👍
I’ll probably watch this video 10 more times until I spend my 1k to get mine lol. 😂😭🤣
so true
@@wyattwehrle6940 lol 😂
@Yanick Heber 🤣🤣🤣 ☝🏽
1 grand plus 2 batteries and a charger, you're talking $1300-$1400 bonus bucks!
@@geraldcadyii5772 I decided to just get a big rock v3 for now
0:41 the shocks are so satisfying
that water ride was ridiculous - woooowwwwww
Kev always makes me happy I miss my xmaxx so much!
What happened to it?
RIP
What happened to it pal
@@Adm5604 had to sell it sadly needed the money.
@@bf1isabeast178 had to sell it I needed the money.
Hey Kev, I just got a Maxx after years out of the hobby. Cant thank you enougu for getting me back into this
11:50 This is where the Hoss was taken.
13:50 This was one of the places where the Kraton exb was taken.
Hi kev i think we should put a little loctite on the grub Screw or în the hole of the pinion otherwise we will struggle to replace it when it s damage.. i tell you from my experience even with the pinion press îs hard to get it out without damage the motor. thank you!
Plot twist: it's not an X-Maxx, just a mini Maxx and Kev is really only 4' 3" tall. 😉
XD
Lol
B.S he is 5 9
@@gcore123 r/woooosh
😂
I dont own much RCs, but man I love my XMaxx and ERevo 1st gen. Both fast and fun to bash around.
Thanks for making all these great vids I support them all. Ur so cool.
Man I e watched this so many times now because this was my dream Rc and for my 13th birthday I got one!
Congrats bro! Have fun with that monster!!!
@@jackdurden466 thanks
love the xmaaaaax body!
RPM For the win best freaking RC upgrades iv ever used in all my RC cars.
do you ever watch a kevin talbot video and you say "man i wish i had that rc"
Edit (just for the replys) : im pretty poor so thats why i say that
Yes im getting the hbx im exited
I never didn’t
I want the raminator!
Yes
That's how I got in to this crazy hobby. Started with a bangood special JLB 21101 and now I'm up to 10.
XMAXX IS MY DREAM!
Just gotta say something about the X-Maxx. I got mine almost a year ago already, and I never had an issue with it. I one tried To jump it a good 20 feet, it landed right on the tire and kept rolling until it hit a metal pole. I was so worried but the car took it like a champ and survived. Then I crashed it a few more times. But still no damage at all, the X-Maxx is pretty much bulletproof and it is a absolute blast to drive. It still impresses me how a rc car that size could go that fast. That is my review on the X-Maxx, I highly recommend it 5 stars.
Yep it's incredibly tough, I hit this creek ditch at 70-80kmh, car flipped like 5 times in a row, no damage at all.
Xmaxx is cool, but I think I would prefer arrma kraton 8s.
I’ve had my Xmaxx for about a month now and literally last night I took out the stock spur to swap in the 46 tooth speed gear. I wanted to see if more wheel speed would equal easier back flips and wheelies. But after opening the packaging and reading the literature which says not for off road bashing , I put the 54t back in. And today I see Kev use that gear and bash the heck out of it.
Yeah... rustler 4x4 vxl can also be bashed with the 20t
14:56 Heads Up! Flying X-Maxx!
Makes me question if I really need to pay my mortgage this month.
This guy is so passionate.
Cant imagine anyone else pitching RC to me.
Kevin, I bought one on Horizon and when asked where did you hear about it I named you. Traxxas owes you....
Kevin...for the Pinion issue....the grub screw u just need to flatten the head of it so that it sits flat on the motor shaft...old rc trick.... I do it on all my cars where grub screws are....As for the prop shaft...have a stainless one made.....MAX6 is kickass...same as mine...Ive had my Xmaxx since end of 2015 ...just after they came out & have upgraded mine to the maxx....Only stuff broken on mine....2 A arms, esc shorted out & lipo exploded....& then 2 shocks snapped (when I drove my real truck over it.....ooops) ....But yes....Xmaxx ....Worth EVERY PENNY
I always liked RCs, but always had toy grade ones, so I got a rustler for trying out a couple of years ago, after a while I got to your channel and a few months later I got an X-maxx and it is awesome.
It is awesome indeed!!You did the right thing by getting a xmaxx right of the bat my man.. wish I would have done that...lol my favorite by far.. of all the 8s rcs out there..by far the best in its scale and class!! Plus if you break something.. xmaxx parts are super cheap considering what arrma parts cost!!!
@@morganyates6598 Thanks, although I already broke the spur gear, so I bought a steel one. I guess the only problem is that where I live there are no good hobbie shops, so I have to order everything online and since I am not in the US/UK, it takes 2-3 weeks. Initially, I was thinking about the Arma Kraton 8s, but the price of the parts and Kevin convinced me to get the X-Maxx instead.
I have to SAY!!! You are ONE VERY VERY GOOD driver. The control you HAVE is sick!!! Cool VIDEO!!!!
I'm constantly impressed by how well the xmaxx lands, seems to really soak it up.
Like you say Kev you give it more abuse than most people ever would.
I think a big factor is how light it is traxxas obviously designed it to be as light as possible
I love how hard he just laughs after every real hard slam. 😂😂😂
This is one of the best rc car i love this car....
I work at a hobby shop. I love Arrmas, especially the mega and 3s lines, we definitely sell those the most. I think the 6s line is good but like you said, chassis bend. We generally don’t recommend traxxas for all around bashing and mainly sell them for racing. But with that said, we LOVE the xmaxx. Out of all the vehicles I’ve run for demos and after repairs, the xmaxx has been one of my favorites
Always wanted to have an RC car..but dont have money for it..ill just enjoy watching your videos..God bless
100% fun truck with fantastic durability...
I did find that pairing the Bluetooth module and updating the stock 8s esc using Traxxas link increased the power by a noticeable amount.... worth a try if you have a module lying around or borrow one just for update.
Cheers mate 👍
Truly the king of all RC cars x
the xmax is "stock apart from"... goes onto say everything
true true
That's pretty stock compared to all his Arrma cars 🤷♂️
To be fair it is pretty stock 🤷🏻♂️
I just got my XMAXX yesterday. Rain and light snow today.
Funny that, was just saying to the missus that we could do with changing the car, think this one should do 😆.
Hey, i can dream
Change car and buy a longboard and a rope? Or little red wagon? Way more fun for the environment...or clean or whatever
Your metal and plastic example was perfect. A great way to show why metal isn't always better.
I need to find a lake like that near me so I can hit some ramps with my RC boats.
02:54 favorite song
BENT THE SHASSY!
Nice Toy and i remember you in xmaxx-8s old versjon
This has to be one of the best reviews of anything ever 😅 very thorough, covered literally everything
Holly crap that new X Max looks very sweet.
great stuff !! .... just a Question: fully charged batteries, how long does it run ?
I got no idea
Around 1937467281632883637218918363621011928283645739291 years
30 min to an hour
Traxxas Batteries
Quite along time I’ve used them for an hour at once
This Top Gear Episode of RC Car with Richard looks great.
Thank you Kevin for getting me into another hobby especially during pandemic and keep up your great work :-)
@Keenan 556 bruh
Getting my first xmaxx tomorrow can't wait 🤗
Waiting for my first xmaxx 8s to come in the post ...I literally bought it based on your amazing videos. I know I wont jump it as high as you do but with that I know it will last a long time thanks for the amazing info and entertainment.
I said I would never buy a traxxas but after seeing this review & a few other ones ☝️I’m all in , gotta have this Xmaxx 8s ! This thing is a absolute beast , great review & run , keep going hard Kevin !!!😎
The only problem is THE PRICE
@Bippolas Beige I'll take the xmax all day lol at least it will run longer than a day unlike the caravan.
Damn! I had no idea these were that big lol. I just got the rustler 4x4 vxl and i am absolutely loving it! Such a pricey hobby though. Now I’m like oh i want lights i want new shocks i need street tires…. It snowballs real quick
Haha, first time I see this guy and channel... Had to laugh when I saw him "actually smashing a bell" when he called to action. Thats awesome dude!
Ps.: Nice explanation: I have no idea of RC stuff but this was like a power-course and I learned quite a bit in these few min ^^
Edit: Wait, Wait, Wait, Wait: 11:41 DId you just somehow change the way you fall in the air? WHAAT? How? By quickly reversing the power? Thats insane!
I like RC cars like these.But I haven't money.I'm from Sri Lanka.I'm 16 years old & Plz help me to buy a RC Car
Any of you guys know why my helion dominus10tr would be stuck in thermal overload got steering but nothing from motor
by accelerating in the air your car will tend to rotate backwards because of the inertia created by the wheels spining. when wheels spining and suddenly brake in mid air,that suddden brake of the wheels makes the car bomping fordwards (as in the video) nice trick,works in motocross and atv too
@@classicalyoutubecaster i work with rc cars, who knows maybe one day I'll send you one.
Haha... I watch both of you. Anyone else here knows Manni?
Just bought myself the xmaxx 8s, its arriving tomorrow!!! Wehooo!!
Hey man...love the videos! Im actually getting an xmaxx this week, cant wait! Im just getting back into the hobby. The allens you use in your drill....do they come in a a pack or do you have a link?? Thanks in advance!
I owned 3 8s Xmaxx's in the last 6 years and never broke one but I didn't beat the shit out of them as if I got paid to break them,love their ability to do wheelies all day,just sold my last one and already miss it.
Cant wait to get one Kev! Thanks for the review! Fingers crossed that Santa brings me one this year. That is if i can save up the 1000$ to send him.
And they doesn’t include the $500 for the batteries 😅
22:54 its size is Y E S
Im a 13 year old and i have worked for one and every penny so i can buy the x-maxx. Thanks kev, for keeping me motivated!! 👍
Have you bought it?
What an awesome car!! By far the best all round bashing machine!! Wes, Liverpool, UK.
You forgot to say. "Can it run on water, yes! But a boat will probably do it better"
I just bought the Hoss, and I'm glad I did, now I'm considering the maxx, can't go less. 😄
Kev calling the xmaxx a toy
haha
Big boy toy 😂
unboxing an xmaxx is one of the best experiences you can ever have
When is the E-Revo going to be out again.😀
I like how kev modifies every rc before even turning it on
cooles youtub, and super cool Kevin talking!
took my xmaxx out for its first hangtime session. it was amazing. got nervous when i landed on the front left wheel only. nah, it loved all of it. only about 6-8 feet of air, nothing compared to what you do
I own 2 of them and looking to get a 3rd absolutely love them and my trx4
I have no good grounds to run a rig like the Xmaxx, but plenty for my new trx4. But yeah the Xmaxx looks awesome.
I’m in 7th grade and saved up for a trx4 and a 2wd rustler vxl, I love them both but can’t afford an xmaxx one day tho hopefully
@@slick1523 just buy a maxx
You over many videos have convinced me to save up for a Xmaxx rock n roll RTR. Thank you. Still hating on Traxxas though✔️😂🍻
think he need some money
i had 6 ads in 8 minutes
I had 2 ads on the video
3 ads
I saw 3 yellow bricks but only got 2 ads. He does not chose how much ads there are in, i think yt choose it self
How do you think he gets all of his RC cars?
I got no ads and I'm not premium
This and my udr are my favorite traxxas cars they are like nothing else
The good thing about plastic chassis’s is that sometimes on the side of roads and other places There are rocks that can magnet onto the metal chassis and it’s really hard to get them off especially if you’re driving out in the rain and outside of the driving season It’s almost impossible to get every bit of rock off but with the plastic chassis nothing can magnet to it. So the plastic ones are better
I just bought one with the solar flare body, but seeing the way the orange looks in the sunlight makes me want to get an orange body shell.
Kev: metal, plastic, hammer😈
Haha
There's a video of an 8s Outcast nose plant and it didn't turn out very well. So I'm thinking the Xmaxx is probably better. I guess we'll see.
Honestly, I've never liked Traxxas. When I got into rc so many years ago, it seemed like they were more for beginners. I've had losi stuff mostly. But after seeing what you've put your Xmaxx through, and how well they hold up, how fun they are. Honestly I'm going to go buy one soon. I really don't think there's a monster out there better than it. At least not for me. Cheers man, thanks for the videos.
My new X-MAXX had a fun time on it's first run... It dunked itself in the ocean!!!
