I like that traxxas stays with what they build. And don't discontinue trucks in a year. Even if they upgraded the maxx you can still get parts for the old one
Yes sir just got done restoring my 25 year old Tmaxx was no problem getting parts 👍
Man this truck freaking rips. I’m starting to consider getting into this hobby and get one of these 🥵
Did you ever get into it? I've been into RC for a long time and some of the most fun is going out with friends and family to bash / race.
If you wanna start rc I recommend getting a traxxas slash 2wd it’s cheap and good for beginners
Do it!! Your Wallet will hurt though lol 😂
If u decide to go into it brace yourself, you are never gonna stop upgrading your rc XD
It’s worth it
Would love the see a Maxx 2.0 Vs E Revo 2.0!
So you may notice that the tires on the Maxx V2 have like a white chalk layer on them... If you want to make them look darker and look more like well... A tire.. you can use a car tire spray that will blacken them and make them look brand new! I did that with my V2 and it really makes a difference, I highly recommend it!
i just bought this today and shredded the tires within the first 10 minutes of driving it its a beast
Awesome video!! I recently got the V1 with a free widemaxx kit from my LHS. First thing I did was play with wheel combo's and the Revo 3.3 wheels fit great on this truck.
I just bought my first traxxas maxx from y'all this morning. Thanx
Congrats LaRon!
-Brett
Great video! Razor said he loves the durability of the 2.0 but the 1st Maxx handles better. Said it is more nimble and with shock tuning it wont flip as much. After seeing this video and how well it handled for you I'd have to go with the 2.0 for only $20 more. I can also say that I'm thankful Traxxas is finally really listening to the community and although I hate the way the Maxx looks Landing Big Air I believe they are going to resolve that in the near future.
I saw that! Was a little surprised he didn't like it as much. He mentioned the steering being a little worse with the longer chassis and I agree with that, it does feel a little reduced, but I didn't think it was great to begin with.
-Brett
Well, with the price finally being reasonable it's inevitable I'm going to get one at some point!
I am curious about how the original max does handle I bought the max 2.0 I was late to the ball game🤣 I like the bigger trucks I actually bought the sledge sldges down at the moment the maxx is never gone down funny But yes I think I’m gonna try to buy my son the original max if I can find any of them if there’s any left because I am curious I would like to drive that truck I just would love to have both versions to be honest
Who tf is Razor??
@@jeremiahlozano8484 Razor RC. He’s definitely one of the best on RUclips. He doesn’t go as big as Duperbash, RC Dude 81, or Commander Astig but he still goes big and drives very well as well as gives honest reviews and is a great mechanic. Keep in mind the guy also buys practically every RC for bashing so he can do good comparisons.
ybeen looking st all the vidson the new wide x-maxx & this is the defining one to persuade my purchase FOR it. CONCISE & to the point! THS IS THE BEST OF ALL, especially w/ the final mention f only $20 more than the regular X-MAXX. Great job!!!
I got one and it's insane, but the tyres got worn in like two weeks. Now i'm still using them WITHOUT the foams (i didn't locked the vent holes) and one is kinda ripped a little bit, but they're fine !
Keep on ripping 👍
I just got the maxx v2 I haven’t driven it yet because my batteries come in tmrw regardless I think I’m going to like this one the most
i broke so many rc's with those deady fences lol, one time i was bashing a rustler and flew past a fence post and just barely caught the back tire and just ripped the whole suspension off the rear when is snagged the pole 😂
😂 👍
3 years ago I got a bug for rc cars, then I got one that broke constantly, now i got bit again and just got a team corally punisher. It is exactly what I wanted 3 years ago and what I want now.
Its funny how as a kid, all I wanted was a nitro RC car, now I want electric again.
Bingo! I started with a stampede XL-5 as a kid and all I wanted was a nitro. Years later 3 nitros later and settled on a Maxx v2. Done with the hassle I just want to charge and go 😂😂
Electric is cool and all but nitro is awesome just takes lots of dedication 👍
Aloha, great honest review again! I was so close to a Rustler 4x4 VXL, Brett you set me back another week in research…
Shoot. Rustler 4X4 VXL vs Maxx 2.0? That is a tough one. They are both beasts in their own way, one a little bigger and more capable in rougher terrain. Bigger trucks need more space though, bigger tires cost more and 4S LiPo's cost more than 3S. Not a bad decision to have to make; you win either way!
-Brett
The rustler 4x4 is an animal! I have one and a v1 Maxx. They're both awesome trucks.
Which one requires less upgrades and better on grass?
@@DUNGSTA short grass is fine for any rc. But tall grass isn't a good idea for any rc. Tall grass is like forcing the truck to plow through a wall of Mudd.
@@RobertNES816 so which one to get? My first rc.
What a truck! Epic review Brett!
Stop in say hi 2 V&B speed a new rc channel ✌
I just ordered one of these. I can't wait. Kinda butthurt I didn't get that color tho lol
Brett you are such a great basher. I love your style man. I'll never forget your first XMAXX bash on your individual channel. Straight savage, cheers my friend ❤️💯🍻
I love the reviews you guys do! Thanks you!
Always enjoy your reviews. Unbiased and straightforward. Nice job 👍
Stop in say high as we build a new Rc channel V&B speed thank you
Rad! I just got the “old” maxx for Xmas. You couldn’t have waited a few more months to post this video?! Lol!
Put The wide kit on it. Or you could easily turn it into the new max
@@Ohwell423 It doesn't need it. Watch Razor RC's videos on the old Maxx. Wider stance definitely doesn't mean better handling.
@@nvl2691 but it's nicer to have
@@TheNamesArif It reduces your turning radius and increase body roll, as well as introducing excessive chassis slap.
A good tune on a standard-width Maxx will outhandle a WideMaxx and won't roll either.
@@nvl2691 With the widemaxx kit or without it, I’ve yet to break a chassis or anything plastic besides a servo and 2 driveshafts. Traxxas tires are garbage so I’ve went through 3 pairs of those. One motor also. Couple bearings.
It’s took a better beating than my Mojave
I can't wait until winter is over!!!!
Watching you bash makes me want to get the rigs out sooo bad!
Nice video as always! ✌️
I just picked one up a few days ago, it's been raining the last few days, so I have to wait for everything to dry out before I charge up a few packs and hit one of the local parks which happens to have a small track that someone created about 20 years ago.
loving my maxx v2 so far. truck rips
Yup you nailed that fence post . Great job on your videos.
I did max 8 with 2200kv 6s right away. first speed run crashed it like an idiot batteries flew out and smashed the corners open. im afraid to charge them now.
Just bought mine yesterday. Feel like a kid again 😂
Great video thanks for not adding music I love the way it sounds as it flies across the water
Just got the maxx v2, broke the plastic driveshafts in 2 days I think mostly from selfrighting. Upgraded to metal and 65 mph on the first GPS and tqi speed run.
Really surprised to hear they broke in 2 days. Was the break at the driveshaft ear where the metal coupler fits in the hole on each side?
-Brett
I´ve ordered mine yesterday! Very excited!
Is it all you hoped for?
Lots of power
👍
Great video. If anyone is wondering you can install the longer chassis in the old maxx you only need 4 parts plus a body I made video of how to do it.
Love your conversion videos, very thorough!
@@angrymelon Thank you so much
I haven't driven the Maxx or the 2.0 because Traxxas has left a bad taste in my mouth with their history... but I can't deny that everybody says regardless of if this thing handles well or not it is one of the toughest RC's of all time. Did you see Razor RC review? He actually said he likes the way the original Maxx handles better than the new one! He said with the added length and width makes it's much harder to turn and doesn't handle as well. I want one but two things are turning me off: how horrible it typically looks when it lands, and Razor RC saying it is the worst handling monster truck he owns and he owns every single 10 and 8 scale monster truck! 😱 another thing is I've been doing this hobby for only about five years and as much as I used to like tuning RC's I don't have the time I once had but I must say I'm happy that Traxxas it's finally listening to the community and we didn't have to wait 10 for an update!!!
@@williamperri3437 I haven't driven either one either I want to but I can't afford smother RC right now. I have bought to many recently. And if anyone is wondering the 2 maxx I had for my videos I parted them out when I was done I didn't make a profit but I came close to breaking even. But for me I just wanted to make the videos. I'll check out Razor RC.
But Goodluck getting a body for the v2 they're sold out everywhere. I'll keep my v1 the way it is for now.
Awsome truck from Traxxas...Nice job Brett...
Love your Videos! I’m a proud owner of a brand new Xmaxx
That is awesome! Good choice.
-Brett
Great video, as always. I enjoyed the crash. This lets people know what not to do, which is hit a poll or a wall. It looks like a solid truck, and I hope I can buy one soon. I believe I found the truck I want, but the e revo I like just as well. Thanks, amain hobbies, for all your videos .
So it's OK for newbies to buy this truck like me?
@@DUNGSTA Get the M10 rival, it's much more durable. It's almost indestructible.
@@FarmerFpv you promise?
The self right feature is awesome but its so hard on the truck
👍
I friggin love my maxx v2... but it's also my first hobby grade rc... I'm hooked, though... I'm dying to start the upgrades! Only had it for a couple of weeks. Trying to find reputable vendors with all of the goodies... Amain has a website, I guess? Allow me to get my Google on😂
Amazon 👍
@@chrisricotta7063 I already changed out stock electronics(HW Max8)/Motor, axles, tires, gpm springs and shock oil, bellcrank, bearings, aluminum c hubs and carriers, and probably a lot more than I can remember here... lmao... then I went and bought a kraton 8s(Xmaxx on the horizon)... bashing like a lunatic, now! 😆 🤣
Nice video one more time....Maxx is the winner in this scale 💪🏻
How did he not cry when he rolled it the first few times? The first scratches always hurt 😢
Love the video I watch it a few times a week 🤣I bought one and love it it is tough!! Tougher than my sledge in my opinion! The only problem I’m having with the max is overheating so I had to drop the pinion one tooth and that seem to fix it
Interesting! That would make for a great comparison video. With your Maxx overheating, did you change to a larger tire diameter? Is the motor heatsink fan still working? Are you letting the truck cool after driving, before driving again?
The Maxx 2.0 comes geared down 1 tooth compared to the original Maxx so I'm really surprised to hear about overheating.
-Brett
Put a castle 8s esc and motor in it!
Great video. I have been wondering, what do you guys do with the rigs used in your review videos?
Often we keep the car in the video room for later use (video or photoshoots), but often we send the vehicle to the retail store to be on display for customers. Less common we sell the car at our swap meet or we just give it away.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies Awesome, Thanks Brett!
@@AMain_Hobbies well if you're just giving em away......lol I can give you my address
Well worth a try I guess
Amazing video as always from Brett and AMain 😍
Thanks David!
-Brett
I cant wait for mines getting it this friday i was going to go with the rock n roll body but i like the green body better
Y'all have a cool job 👍
I believe the Maxx 2.0 also has a upgraded steering servo. It’s now using the factory servo from the XMaxx.
I tried, the servo is still weak and slow.
Loving these reviews, awesome page, was curious why I cannot find a review of the Xmaxx though?
Can't wait to buy mine.
See a few videos of people having power loss / esc cutting out on these. it put me off getting one until they have been around a little while in case it’s a common fault.
This truck is so cool
It seems really cool, but I don't want to buy another Traxxas (at least new) after learning about their parents and lawsuits. I'll keep waiting for Arrma to bring back their 4s lineup.
Love yours videos! They are the best!
Quick Question: Traxxas Maxx V2 or Traxxas Sledge? With one would you pick?
Probably Maxx V2. If the terrain is really rough and chunky then the Sledge; the extra size and bigger tires from the Sledge will handle this terrain better.
-Brett
I want one just wish it had a little more ground clearance.
You see I would like one but I’m a kid and my mum will probably say it’s too expensive
This truck has so much power that it literally needs steel drive shafts. With badlands tires I can not keep drive shafts in this truck lol
@Matthew Hayslett I never said it was a perfect truck. Don’t know if any perfect rcs. And I will agree some things should be metal but chassis on a basher have been proven time and time again to be tougher plastic. Cheaper to replace allows for flex.
Excellent video guys!
Would you say the proline badlands tires you showed are very close in size to the factory sledgehammer tires like width and height?
I’m going to be getting one in about 23 days or in April and I can’t wait
Sweet Love The Wheelies
you sound like your squeaking a rubber duck at the end XD
Broken parts is just the RC Gawds way of saying UPGRADES!!!
Purchaced the Pro Line Trenchers HP Belted 3.8 what gear change should I make
would the rc car have been fine if you had an aluminum suspension arm?
my new toy for my birthday next month.... does it come with a burrito 🌯🤔
HA! Burrito sold separately.
-Brett
Maan this truck looks nasty I need to get one
this is the basher to get !
Really thinking about geting one of these.
Get one, you will love it.
My old dog training rc car is about toast and is prolly not worth rebuilding any more . Time to upgrade to this.
Nailed the ending! 👍🤣🤣🤣
Do you have a e revo video trying to choose between the Max and the revo
Pedal to the Metal Brett hit the Pole but not Pole position :D
Nice truck 🦇
I can contest to it's durability. It literally crashed into a guy dirt bike and got ran over but the guy on the bike crashed. The video is on my page. I can't believe it survived lol. Definitely thinking about getting one now lmao
Gotta see THAT!!!
@@williamperri3437 it's on my youtube go check it out
Super vidéo donne vraiment envie d’en acheter 1 !
Merci!
-Brett
what runtime am i looking at with the big battery?
🤣🤣🤣 Traxxas has gotta be kidding me with the $140 4s 6700mah battery...I bought two 8000mah 4s batteries for less than that
Well, everybody knows that they are overpriced xD
Wow.. maybe i want to get this kit .. first time want to buy traxxas and expensive rc
What dose everyone prefer the v1 or the v2 ?
V2
Love the truck but the price point is the same as a 6s Kraton..so not sure what Id choose.
that new Traxxas Maxx is real value, i don't arrma fans hate what i say, this Max is arrma kraton killer
Still blows me away how many people don’t cover the rim hole when running in mud, snow, or water…you can clearly hear that they’re vented 😅
Gorilla tape sticks hard too at high speeds. I do it!
What battery did you use for the testing?
My slash has been acting up, so I plan on getting a maxx very soon. But I actually don't really like the wide style. Can the v3 be fitted with standard width control arms?
Yeah, you should be able to do that. You'll need the shorter upper and lower arms, driveshafts and steering links.
-Brett
+1 👍
I have a modded 2021 maxx love it
Nicely done
That look really nice
Love your guy’s video and store!! Just wish you guys could match Amazon’s prices
Me too they service is excellent
Call our customer service before you order next time and let them know (with proof) that the price is lower elsewhere. Just don't tell anyone I told you.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies is this some sort of secret tricks
Just so everyone knows, this MAXX 2.0 is a fix for the Version one MAXX. Traxxas should pull the first MAXX off the market so no one else makes the same mistake many of us made buy it. The MAXX 2.0 is how the MAXX should have been made in the first place. Traxxas just doesn't want to admit that the original MAXX was engineered wrong. It wasn't a $50 upgrade, It cost $180 if you did it right. The Traxxas upgrade you're speaking of would still bend or brake the Drive shafts. They did make the MAXX right now, but they're still selling the Version one, and that's just wrong.
For anyone out there wanting the MAXX, ONLY but the MAXX 2.0.
Good video.
That things a rocket
I'm good with refinements, but I can't believe they switched the body. I have the original MAXX and can imagine the nightmare its going to be to find the correct body in the future. Its the 2wd/4wd Stampede all over again. I'm hoping some third party options come out and they make it fit either length by adjusting the install location of the clips or something.
Definitely some potential for headaches here. I was imagining what's going to happen when somebody walks into a hobby shop asking for the "widemaxx" body; that could be either truck and they just might receiver either body unknowingly.
-Brett
That things a beast! Excellent video!
Really wanted a little more with those road tires...
It cost $20 more than the Kraton 6s. I rather get the Kraton and then convert it to the XL. It does present an interesting option.
I wouldn't say that the drive train is 6s capable because the cvd shafts snap off on 6s
Awesome! Always great reviews!
Cool video. So, how do you like the Sweep Racing Road Crushers? Are they good quality tires? Do they maintain traction really well when running at high speeds? PLMK at your convenience. Thanks for your time.
Yeah, they've served us well. They're very flat and rigid belted tires, so they stay flat the whole time. We've only used them to bash around in dirty parking parking lots, but performance was always good and much improved over a nobby tire on that surface.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies Cool. Is there a specific Sweep Racing model of wheels/tires that are fit for the Traxxas Maxx?
@@flhandster4395 No, they only offer the one size, with 17mm hex. Have you checked out 1/8 buggy tires? It's another on-road option with shorter tires that are more narrow.
www.amainhobbies.com/jconcepts-speed-claw-belted-tire-premounted-w-cheetah-speedrun-wheel-white-jco3113-19/p1126937
The Sweep tires are larger diameter, so it's like gearing up the motor. The 1/8 buggy tires are shorter, like gearing down the motor. In either case, you may need to re-gear the pinion gear once changing tire sizes to keep the motor/esc from overheating; it just depends on your driving style, how hard you drive, the surface you drive in and the ambient outside temperatures.
-Brett
Who won the giveaway?!? A few weeks ago
You think at that price they would have included more aluminum like aluminum shock towers. HPI Savage has the same problem. Then again is it on purpose ? Is some plastic shock towers "better" then aluminum ? I have never broke one on my Savage X 4.6 nitro. The old school ones. However I see almost all higher end trucks / cars have good quality aluminum. Please share and notice if you like. Id love to learn why.
Plastic has gotten better over time cheaper and doesn't bend 👍
Well this makes my decision much easier. I was up in the air between the new Maxx and the Revo..... This video settles that debate lol
Get the Maxx 2.0! The E-Revo 2.0 is a fantastically big and stable basher, but the rod ends and shock ends need some upgrades and TLC to be durable. With the Maxx 2.0, it's ready to rip and needs nothing.
-Brett
