    We take the Traxxas Maxx Slash out for another run on 6S with some more tuning to see if it drives any better. Can you bash this short course truck?

    Holy crap dude!! Either you are the worlds best RC vehicle operator or your tuning is going extremely well !! This is only the second video(amongst you top guys)where I’ve seen that thing rip. Your video is number one for making that thing look drivable… Traxxas should be sending you an award of some type for making that thing operable😳… anyway, great job.

    Nice job tuning this truck up! I think a lot of folks were quick to trash this truck because it does seem to need a lot of tuning. I followed your tuning tips and got my Maxx running really well, I am waiting for a few parts to show up and then I will tear into my Maxx Slash (haven't even run it yet, gonna go through it first). I am really looking forward to your tuning how-to video for this truck. Thanks for posting, please keep it up!

    Can't wait to see what improvements were done or alterations you've done.I've been watching a lot of videos and it's like 70%.People like it and it needs improvements and 30% are just really ripping it apart, saying that it's no good, no traction should have did this and that! Traxxas should put sway bars on. lower center gravity doesn't corner good, it's not supposed to be a basher, and everything else? I'm not sure which way to go ? I do know that bashing is part of the fun ! If you don't want to bash, then don't! From what i see you do with it, it looks like a lot of fun! Just what i would do! Keep bashing!!

    Finally, someone showing videos of this truck being run with some adjustments rather than yanking it out of the box and bashing it without even checking things like the spring collars or preload. Most of these are showing up with the spring collars backed way off so the springs are loose and the suspension is sagging and then they complain about body slap and other problems. I wish people would take the time to do a baseline inspection and adjustment before running it. A lot of the negativity in the videos I've seen is largely the fault of the RUclipsr not doing anything other than shoving batteries in, bashing with it, and then complaining about it. RC Guy even showed the spring collars backed way off after playing with his LHS' display model and how loose the springs are/were. I noticed the same thing at my LHS with their display model.

      rather than "yanking it out of the box"?! it's a 700 dollars product. it supposed to be all set up, as a buyer i would hope to get finish and good product and yes, "yanking it out of the box" without tweaking shi*

    • @JeepBully
      @JeepBully 5 месяцев назад +6

      The problem is the springs are too short and soft for the vehicle in the front. I need to turn the preload collars almost all the way in before there’s even the slightest chance of rebound. And is 3/4” before the collar even hits the spring, leaving barely any adjustment. It runs the same rate springs out front that the regular slash does. Out the box even with minor adjustments it rides like garbage. I had to order new springs. I cannot brake without it scrubbing the ground or turn without the tire rubbing the crap out the body. I’ve already worn through the body paint above the front tires after a few packs.

    • @JT-6s
      @JT-6s 5 месяцев назад +7

      Hmmm….pretty sure with this particular configuration, Razor did a helluva lot more than “some adjustments” to the shock collars. Suppose we’ll find out how far beyond “baseline” he had to go in the next installment.

      @@idan678 It's a silly argument that just because something is X dollars you shouldn't have to bother doing a basic inspection after it was assembled and shipped halfway around the world. Things happen, if you want a good experience then you should take just a few minutes and check things over. You're only setting yourself up for failure if you can't be bothered to do this.

    That is night and day difference! Still bounces a lot both driving and landing but massive improvement. I'm not sure there is any hope to make the rear work without bouncing and swapping. It just looks like a small scale rig bouncing and swapping around at the back. Out of the 2 I've driven they handled better on road but with preload cranked way down still dragged the chassis braking and accelerating. Also both had enough body roll to rub the body turning. Everyone who drove this and both my Mojaves agreed the Arrma's was the better rig that day. Even the owners, one of whom is die hard Traxxas but has now bought a UDR and Maxx Slash because he likes my Mojaves so much but can't make himself buy an Arrma.

    The "why" is a RUclips video where an Army vet is pretty annoyed at what Traxxas support told him. "It's not a basher" was one of the quotes, I think. The one that pissed him off was "maybe try a truck with a lower skill level." Which would cheese me off too.

You seem to having it tuned a lot better , I imagine some more wheel time at favorable spot helps too . I watched video of a veteran dude who called traxxas complaining the truck not performing well and they told him he needs to practice driving 😂😂😂 . He had a lot traxxas rigs too and his favorite rig is the sledge even over the Arrmas he had that were obviously faster in camera . Just shows everyone has different taste and styles driving . No doubt it needs sway bars for average rc guys to help imo
