They did the same thing with the emaxx years ago if you remember, the original version was shorter and much more narrow. I’ve got both an original 3906 and a brushless emaxx with the mxl6s, thought about selling the brushless but these videos make me want to keep it! I bet these wide arms become standard at some point. I think they were trying to keep it the same as the xmaxx but being a smaller lighter truck it just doesn’t handle the same.
Nice. I did put 42wt oil in the front shocks and 55wt in the rear ones. I did reuse the front original springs and used the Maxx kit springs on the rear. I did it like that because of Earl Moorhead suggestions here on YT. I haven't tried mine yet due to wrenching and work. I need to compare it to my newly acquired redcat KAIJU. Hehe.
I put the 6s hobbywing system in my maxx 4274 2200kv motor 20t pinion hr metal spur jx hv servo 500 0zin and Traxxas emaxx 3.8 tires with plus 12mm hexes. Also tuned the diffs. 👍
Always cool to see what you are up to.. The maxx seems like a sick little big truck. I have the Xmaxx which is just awesome fun everytime I get it out to drive.. and the maxx looks just as action packed as well. Traxxas unfortunately need to revisit their Cooling Fan supplier and have been pretty lucky so far that the rc community have accepted the wide maxx kit as an upgrade, not as a required part to make truck as it should be.. I wouldn't think you would see it until a version 2 is released so as not to accept it as a flaw or liability of sorts.. Always looking forward to your next notification. Great channel. Cheers mate 👍
I've got 80w oil all around with WideMaxx kit springs in rear and stock springs in front. Lower shock mounts in inside (stock) position so far. Front Preload is middle and rear is screwed down a tad lower than halfway.
Maxx: slowly dying inside CCxRC: “I think we’re good!” Lol Nice vid. It’s hard to determine if I want to go wide or not, but for now I haven’t even got the chance to unbox mine yet
Nice Video... That truck is so sturdy and solid. With the objects I've hit and the numerous tumbles, I would have made 6 repairs at least to my Stampede already doing the same stuff. This seems to built tougher and for certain is heavier !!! Love the way it handles, gotta go easy on that throttle for sure. Could I maybe have a little more detail on your camera/phone/gopro set-up? I want to film mine also. THANKS !!!
Definitely need to change out the shock oil and adjust the shocks you can hear it bottom out pretty hard there. But that wide body kit looks like it’s a fix for a lot of the control and handling. Now it’s just fine tuning needed.
Nice jumping! You change the shock oils to 50 in the back? I did 60 on all four corners. Widemaxx kit delivered just waiting til I have space to work on it
@@dcole302 definitely noticed a difference in handling. The badlands made the trucks little taller so not as much as I wanted but when running the stock tires I would say much more stable.
I got the wide max kit with extended drive shafts will they still twist or do I need to get the steel ones? Would really not want to tear it all apart again if I can help it. THX

@@FLYN63SS Well thats all good, but as i always been told if you, put biger tiers on then you need to gear down the truck otherwise it will put a lot of stress on the moter/esc and so on.

@@tenncutt Nope. They couldn't do that for the reason that the erevo is already only $50 more. It would completely kill maxx sales because the revo is much better vehicle. Then, you would be removing the stock suspension arms, so the vehicle probably wouldn't be more expensive at all.
@@gasolinediesel972 what about the Revo makes it a much better vehicle? I debated back and forth maxx v revo and bought the maxx. Still love the look of the revo though and value your thoughts. Thanks
@@tenncutt Well, it isn't quite as durable, but it handles better, it's quite a bit bigger, it's faster, more powerful, and just overall more fun to drive. Most people buying these just look at the power system and that's what makes their mind up. That's why the xmaxx sells so well. People would much rather have a 6s truck than a 4s truck for the same price. Literally nobody would buy the maxx. The revo actually already kills the maxx in sales. They wouldn't sell a single maxx if it was a dollar more than what it is already. The hoss and maxx are both great vehicles, but they're also very big ripoffs which is why they get so much hate.
@@gasolinediesel972 Completely different car with completely different purposes. The Maxx was designed to take abuse and general, the E-Revo was designed to go fast and handle well. The E-Revo is a lot more fragile (weak toe links, shock rods bending, plastic braces and A-arms snapping... the list goes on). You cannot have everything. Compare what is comparable...
It may be better go that route , just use rpm if you break original, if you went the 4s route have change the axles and you need rpm arms anyway, plus simple fact more weight on diffs and bearings so you get more longevity extensions from hubs good job👍👍
I love my Maxx but I've been having an issue you kinda mentioned in the video that it'll shut off on a landing. I'm running 3s ovonic 4500mah lipo with a wired Traxxas to Deans adapter. Do ya think it could be the battery itself or the adapter causing the issue?
@@paulclancy2404 thanks looks like I'm going to be buying some trx connectors. Figured it was but I'm still kinda new to all this stuff so I didnt know for sure.
I cant decide the maxx or the revo 2.0 I have 2 emaxxs and a 1st gen revo the 2 emaxxs seem bigger than the maxx it would be like buying a 3rd emaxx so kinda leaning toward the 2.0 any recommendations
Erevo 2.0 FIRST, it take as good of jumps if not better ,and stays planted to the ground out off the box ,vs the Maxx needing the wide kit to handle as well. I have both and love both for different reasons. My Erevo is my bash the crap out of it truck and maxxnis more for rougher terrain with less height and speed
Have you even broken the front bulkhead, I broken my 3 times already, also with in 4 mouths I broken 6 outer driveshafts and the worst one is, my esc die on me last week, to me the durability is worries then my rustler 4x4 Vxl.🙁 I think from now on it might be arrma time.
@@Mostima115 first, is cold winter❄ in my area, so is easy to tell what parts of the trucky is a weak spots, which I find the most breakage are the bulkhead and outer driveshafts. Secondly I am becoming a jumper, so that's why I bought this trucky, and I find that this maxx like to noise dive, that's why the front bulkhead is the victim. (I never have problem with the back one)🛬 thirdly I do jump it higher then myself, but what is this trucky for, it don't looks like it is designed for racing. lastly, you look at the bottom of the front bulkhead, the bottom arm pin holder only have one screw to holds the two big arm pins like the light weight rustler 4x4,, that's where the weakness is, when you hit a wheel and twist the arm, it will push one side of the front pin holder outward, then the other side will go the other way, that's when it break the bulkhead and the front of the pin stick out, it is hard to tell you by words. I will post a video up soon about the cost and fix, after I free up my memory card.😉
I find that the bulkhead problems, is all cost by the company be cheap on putting one more screw (two screws is better) on the plastic or metal arm pin holder and not using bolted arm pin. Look at the arrma 6s line, the front bottom pin holder have two screws to hold the two arm pin at the front, and if you want to make it stronger for your arrma buy a set of bolted front arm pin, you bulkhead will be almost bullet proof.
@@yyckey5022 all true but if you go 6s arrma make sure put a proper tower brace , I only bent Kraton one v3 not outcast v2 wo the brace go figure but I'm only jumping 10 30 ft in dirt
I just put the widemaxx kit on and I have sheered two axles in one packs time. Just playing in my front yard too, not even bashing at all. One axle sheered while it was on its back doing the auto set. Tire flung off into the neighbors yard. DO NOT PUT WIDE MAXX KIT ON YOUR CAR unless you also do the $100 steel axle upgrade and hubs. Then you are plus $200 and just GET A BIGGER CAR!! UGHHH so pissed at traxxas!
Funny thing, a lot of people are amazed at the sick punishment this truck takes without breaking to pieces! Meaning you don't hear all the whining about it breaking LOL. It just ain't happening LOL. My Maxx blows my mind 🤪.
new to rc and bought a maxx... disappointed in the shocks... what valves are you talking about? i havent been able to find anything aftermarket regarding the shocks.
Ehhh maybe now I would get it for the wife, but it's still not a mini Xmaxx. And I thank you for showing us it isn't. IDK what it is about that monster but it handles like Enzo Ferrari designed it.
If you don’t have a Maxx yet, it’s a lot to spend to get it and the arms to get it running right. At the cost of the Maxx, they should offer it as a version so people don’t have to drop more money straight away.
That thing is in some serious need of a center diff or, loosen up that slipper clutch. Uncontrollable, too much power. That rear diff is going to be toast. Flat landing that thing like that Jesus. Just slapping the shit out of the entire car.
Just my two cents, but the truck has off-road tires and it is set up for off-road and if you put it in a bank turn it’ll act completely differently. If the tires can break traction, it would act completely differently. I’m confused. If you drive a lifted truck on the street and turn fast it will flip. 🤫 This guy just can’t drive, needs all the help he can get. Landing flat is always bad bad bad. Build a landing lazy man 💪
I’m just running it how a ton of people do and showing what will happen. It’s way better even on road than it was. As for the landing...I stopped doing landings because I have so many varied RCs and this would over jump most landings. Plus...monster trucks land on flat ground all the time in Monster Jam. These aren’t race trucks. Skatepark guys land flat RCs on cement. Everyone runs them differently. I’m a basher and I try my best to show varied uses and I drive them hard.
Bill Perri OR, companies offer you more stuff to buy bc they know most of this industry is full of people who want to “upgrade” their vehicle. This is not an upgrade to a basher, it’s a downgrade. Causes more torque on the A arms, widens the turn radius and not to mention, looks kinda silly. As far as monster trucks landing flat🤣, yeah and they also have rear wheel steering, nitrogen filled shocks, super low air pressure w a 6’ sidewall and just about nothing else in common with this truck. Just because one chooses to bash an RC truck doesn’t mean he hast to be a bonehead. One could still use common sense. Next video should be a pan car driving in tall grass
Well the stock arms made it stiff, but still chassis slapped. And it turned so tight all it did was roll over. So it’s a worth upgrade I asked for after driving the stock.
Bill Perri I try to keep this in the realm of only my two cents. Respect is something I want to be giving as well as my humble opinion. I absolutely love the fact that people make content like this because it allows the conversation to begin. I love all of you guys. If you’re ever in the Sacramento area look me up I have a 12 acre RC compound. I bought 4 MaXX’s And build a max track
Sheldon Hildebrand there is that 😂. But if someone bought one...they should get this kit. It runs hot and needs a ton of fans that break...then overheats.
ben doing rc for a long time around 20 years and this is my first traxxas always been a team associated guy just bought this truck really like it EDIT: PS THE WIDE KIT ON AMAZON IS OUT OF STOCK
Nah with a large open area that's not true, at least in the grass. And I'm running stock everything. Now if you have a small backyard and that's where you're bashing, then yah it's way to small to have fun. It's my first RC car and I thought I wouldn't be able to have fun potentially, but I have no regrets.
@@justinbeamon6624 He means that it handles like dogshit. The platform cannot handle 4s power, which is hilarious considering the fact that it has erevo diffs which are rated for 6s. The truck is too small to handle 4s without being uncontrollable. They should've made it 3s.
They did the same thing with the emaxx years ago if you remember, the original version was shorter and much more narrow.

If you’re ever in the Sacramento area look me up I have a 12 acre RC compound. I bought 4 MaXX’s And build a max track
I have to get me the wide kit, hakuna matata, wider is better 👍
It's like a more expensive, worse Arrma Notorious.🧐
Sheldon Hildebrand there is that 😂. But if someone bought one...they should get this kit. It runs hot and needs a ton of fans that break...then overheats.
ben doing rc for a long time around 20 years and this is my first traxxas always been a team associated guy just bought this truck really like it
EDIT: PS THE WIDE KIT ON AMAZON IS OUT OF STOCK
Maxx perform better than Rustler VLX 4x4 I ques.
thing just has way too much power to even have fun with it.
Nah with a large open area that's not true, at least in the grass. And I'm running stock everything. Now if you have a small backyard and that's where you're bashing, then yah it's way to small to have fun. It's my first RC car and I thought I wouldn't be able to have fun potentially, but I have no regrets.
@@justinbeamon6624 He means that it handles like dogshit. The platform cannot handle 4s power, which is hilarious considering the fact that it has erevo diffs which are rated for 6s. The truck is too small to handle 4s without being uncontrollable. They should've made it 3s.
First!!
RC Abuse LOL
What shock oil weight did you go with?
