Are you able to name some of the locations at the start of this video. Thanks
Kev's voice in this video sounds like a professional guy talking 😂😂
i was camera shy
Haha😂
True
😂😂
Lol, now he’s louder then a talk show host!!! A lot better louder. He seems exited and it makes me exited.
Amazing video for a xmaxx beginner like me. Thank you
Had one of my XMAXX’s completely disassembled for 3 years, building it now, thank god for the schematics! Easy to work on though. Just keeping track of were to put the bolts that are in a zip lock bag. Lol having a build one helps to!
I don't even own a xmaxx and watched this from start to finish!!!
I wonder after 3 years if he sees this. Kev, you’ve improved so much over the years. I’ve watched you from the beginning and you are honest on every rc car you test.
This was very interesting to watch! Reminded me of when I was a teenager building and rebuilding my Clodbuster.
I had a Clodbuster too, and Big Boss...same era !!!
Hey Kev didn't go all through your comments but I was thinking the aluminum driveshaft may have stripped out, I noticed there was a lot of slip back and forth and at any givin moment the shaft could be further on either the front or the back pinion gear splines, I added an o rig to take up some of the slop and it will flex and squish with chassis movement. Just an idea! An awesome video for sure!!! Great job
Thinking about that That's a good idea I've actually had that happen myself on another truck. I hope that was what was wrong just because that's a very good idea and I'm mad I didn't think of it. Not my video but good comment my friend
best Xmaxx rebuild video on RUclips! love this video!
I have to say I really enjoyed this fix it video were u tore the hole truck down. You really are my favorite R/C RUclipsr.
Am I the only one that doesn't wear gloves to work on my RCs?
nope
Nope
Justin Green nope
I wear gloves but they rip so easily. So I basically don't wear gloves...
I don't!
I know this is an older video, but wow, you are so much more calm in this, you really show your passion for the cars when you are rebuilding these, love this video man.
Fantastic vid, Kev. This is by far the best tear down and rebuild of the X-Maxx that I've seen. I learned a ton. Thank you for posting this.
BEST X-MAXX REBUILD ON THE NET FOR ME THIS WILL BE THE ONLY WAY WHEN MY TIME COMES.
Hey Kev... amazing video. Only one question... why are the front paddle tires installed the wrong way? 🤣 I can't be the only one who noticed that.
lel
it will submarine with 1st water crossing xD
I noticed, I have run dual paddles, and the fronts will shovel copious amounts of sand into the car/drivetrain..thats a guess, or, he just put them on wrong..lol
The front tires where on backwards
Im am not the only person who hates it when people mount the front tires wrong. I think he mounted the front tires backwards for more grip while braking but it looks stupid.
@@olivier_w7395 I agree but i don't hate it. RC has alot of personal preference things involved, and some people might like it that way some don't. Have a nice day man 🤟
In general I've found its for the traction in reverse...you spend alot of time trying to back out of situations lolololol
The front tires are always in the air anyways
He does that so he gets grip when he reverses.
I watched the whole thing and I don’t even own a x max 😂
Same here.
Grant Andrews, same lol
Grant Andrews ... I watched this vid and I ain’t even got a rc car of any description ... seriously thinking of getting an x-max tho ,
Same 😂😂
Dave, an X Maxx is a really bad choice as a first rc car. Start with a rustler or stampede or something.
The Xmaxxes have come a long way, and so has this channel. From hard bashing, to brutal breaks. I love to see it new again. It looks better than ever! Another astonishing video Kevin!
Thanks dude, means a lot :) Cheers
I'm loving your videos. This one is fantastic to see what goes into a total strip down and rebuild. Keep up the good work. There's no one else on this earth who bashes an X-maxx as hard as you do hahaha.
haha I try my best :) Cheers
Most things are throwaway now a days, especially toys, not this Traxxas, wore it out and it got a total rebuild. Truly a great hobby, fun with mechanical skills. Could literally help learn with real vehicles, only thing different is size...great vid👍
Try marine greses has to be blue stuff on all moving parts have to do maintance half as much
Can I use white marine grease?
Xgxx
Dhfhcydh
@@hootingshark8068 fdgdhd
Kevin your awesome you are the one that taught me how to grease gears and take care of the car thx I really appreciate what you do
Nice to see you giving your trucks some love for once.
I loved seeing it jump out an upper story window. Unexpected and fun. Impressive!
If I attempted this, My RC would end up in a box in the garage no chance I'd ever get it back together correctly.
Watch a video while you're doing it, also take pictures as it comes apart so you know where certain parts go.
Nah it’s not that hard , I was 11 when I completely rebuilt my slash 4x4 , only problems I had was gear mesh.
@@sbworks2047 not easy for everyone though slash is not as intimidating
Bear gear mesh was the biggest SOB for me but once u see once how its set u pretty much know how to do it forever.
Me to I’m not capable of remembering and doing this I only do easy stuff like shocks arms sometimes even riffs if I need to get back in action
I prefer this Kevin, he’s easier to follow what he’s saying and doing so you can learn from him, 👌🏼 rather than just acting a clown for entertainment.
I just watched this and was like damn. Lot of work.... I’m lazy and just buy a new one lol.
Went from ex-lax to X-MAX! Looks better than ever! It's ALIVE! Great video Dr. Kev!
It was one of the housings or structural pieces that were cracked and enabling the gears to separate from each other?
What was it in the end? Iwas thinking this and also wondering if the wheels hex nuts or drive pins were stripped out.
@@izzzzzz6 Not sure to be honest, I didn't see it mentioned in any posts as of yet.
One of your best movies... loved to see you wrenching
Kevin, abuse is an understatement!! You bashed the hell out of the truck!!! Great repair video! WowW what a difference!! Keep the content coming!!
I am sure the noise was figured out awhile ago but mine made a similar noise and I looked at the same things you did. In the end my noise came resulted from one of the bearings in the motor that went out causing the motor shaft to rub on the inside. Thanks for the great content!
yea the wheels are backward but nice vid mate!!!😁
they r put like that so u have grab in reverse
TheoneNonly why do you need grip in reverse?
Nope, that's how they are supposed to go for max grip, so the treads dig into the ground.
you want paddle tires for skipping water
Yeah the front ones need to go on the opposite of each other.
Not sure if anyone has suggested this yet. But, us rock bouncers in the U.S. use solid aluminum rods in our roll cages that we "pound or beat in" we try to find the tightest fit we can. But, it keeps our roll cages from collapsing when we hit things. Maybe this could be a solution to your bend drive shaft. It might make it a little heavy and sluggish off the line but... It could save the drive shaft.
Wait he said “COOKIES” THATS ILLEGAL
Very helpful and entertaining at the same time. Thanks for posting!
I love x maxxes
I love refrigerators.
I love x maxxes
Only if they did not cost 1000
me to
also fun fact if you didn't know Kevin loctite it actually liquid plastic and when air hits it hardens if you ever have a stubborn screw you can heat it up before you strip it and it will melt the loctite and the screw comes out nice and easy 😉
Very fun to watch. Going to rebuilt my tmaxx soon.
Drone Matrix It's cool to see another Maxx owner. I have a emaxx myself. Most people have revos
Tmaxx is the way to go
I’m 5 years late to this video, but I love it! I wish you’d make some of these today. Thanks Kev!
Nice vid mate... getting my own xmaxx soon.... also if you havent already... swap your two front wheels around the tyres are backwards
It'd for reverse traction
@@williammiller9776 There is no such reason as reverse traction. Every person in the known universe has all four tires digging forward for optimum traction in sand and very loose terrain.
@EX JW Not everybody has there paddles facing forwards. Not everybody uses paddles for sand. Its smart to have your tires like kevs if you want traction going forward and backwards. You want forward traction to move forwards and you want reverse traction to backup if you get stuck. But if you want to go just forwards sure you can put all digging forwards but you’ll get next to no traction going backwards.
@@timothy9438 I have lived around sand a lot of my life and off roaded in sand with quads and other vehicles and nobody ever put half their tires the wrong way. You make absolutely no sense with your theory so you might want to give up while you are behind.
@@timothy9438 for example go watch formula off road they have 4 wheel drive and all tires digging and they still get unstuck a good percentage of the time. you really want forward momentum more than worry about reverse traction.
You have a good memory my boy! Also, you take so good care of your cars inside the shop, just to totally wreck them a min later, to funny!
How the hell do you remember where everything goes? Well done kev! I love diy and how to videos!
You are the Mechanic Doctor, highest respect
The 2 front tires are backwards, great rebuild though
Female Drummer thought i was the only 1 peeped that🤷🏽♂️🤣
Reversing the cups on the front tires helps keep it afloat as the back tires propel it. The backwards paddles slap the water as opposed to scooping into it as much as the rear. Keeps it from nose diving. Lift the front and push with the rear. 👍👍
@@MrPooPooTuTu I figured he had a reason for setting the tires up that way.
Dang it Kevin!!! You've convinced me too get some cookies!
💡Pro tip: use a strong magnet against a screwdriver of your choice, tap it against the magnet a bit and Bam! Magnetic screw driver. Trust me I've done it with all my screwdrivers and it works wonders.
Great video that was a lot of work👍
Kev I just joined your channel I used to use epoxy resin as sets well hard keep up the good work bro I have just got am arrma voltage 4 s as sold my collection due to lockdown n lack of cash so trying to build it bk up again now as didn't sell my voltage as new I'd restock at some point lol once a rc nut all ways an rc nut I'm 46 n never gro old of rc rc4life
When the front bulk head broke, it cause a lack of connection and drive to the front diff. As the car has a center diff, then the diff started to redistribute power and caused lack of drive.
Funny thing was it lost most of its drive before the bulkhead broke. I'll take it out over the weekend if I get time and test it
Kevin Talbot it is likely ok now after the rebuild. Just explaining why you lost most drive. Most 4wd cars are mainly driven by the front tires. That is why in racing full scale cars you drive 4wd the same way as front wheel drive cars.
Really enjoy watching ur xmaxx tear down n rebuilds. Thanku kev
Nice one Kev‼️ How to clean in a good way, I'm no expert. This helps a lot‼️
Me again.. I'm a medical lab technician by trade. You should be using blue nitrile gloves for maximum protection against solvents. Just a tip, want to keep a valuable contributor like you around for a long time. Our hobby needs folks like you that take the time to share knowledge and experience so well. Keep up the excellent work and have fun!
Joe from New England.
You should do like £100 xmaxx rebuilds
He makes too much money for that lmao
Gave me confidence to rebuild my 10 year old traxxas nitro car. Thanks!
How would anybody remember where everything goes and how it goes together
Keep doing it over and over throughout ur hobby experience and you’ll remember it, I can take everything apart and throw it in a bag and put it all back together, but like he said keep the screws next to the part where you took them off and that will help
Yeah..i would put it back together and ask what do you do with all these left over parts/screws
You wont catch me bashing the hell out of my XMAXX. There's no way I'd be able to do what you just did. Great job man. Thank you for the video.
You forgot to wash out the speed controller and change your blinker fluid..
I don't even own a xMaxx and this is one of my favorite youtube videos.
38:36 well that is what happens when you replace 70% of the parts lol
I watch this vid over and over and I don’t even own an xmaxx, but I’m planing for the future😎
dose he know he put the front tire on backwards the front left should got on the front right and opposite
B Deshi when people get new tires they put them on backwards then once there broken in they will swap them on correctly. it makes your tires wear evenly and last longer
Thank u from across the pond.
We need to see this beast in action! Just sayin'!
Now that I (FINALLY! :-) have my own X-Maxx, this video make me really appreciate the brilliant engineering of this platform. It' seems baffling that Traxxas has not used it for more than just a monster-truck. It could also be a giant buggy, a quad, a side-by-side, etc.
Dude I need to get that cleaning stuff that makes plastic look new!! What was it called?
muck off, wd40 works too :)
Wd40
GT85 is more kind to plastics and rubber avoid WD40
Gt85. As said above avoid the wd40
Funny how is name is RC king yet he doesn’t even know what Muck Off is.
I really appreciate this video. I just got my first X-Maxx, bought it used so I need to take it apart like you to tune it up. Bought new parts too.
The front wheels incorrectly set.)))
Maybe he put them on backwards for reverse driving.
I don't know if anyone said it yet or not but check your wheels to make sure their not the part that's slipping on the axel or if the axel is slipping in the chassis. OK good luck and nice videos your very thorough
how much did it cost to rebuilt the whole truck again?
around £50 ish
I enjoy these videos as much as the bashing videos , i've learned a lot from watching ...please continue to make awesome videos Kevin !
Thanks dude, no plans to stop any time soon!
Nice video man ! Please do some hydroplane video with these new tire ! 👍👍👍 Oh and also first comment again !
I will do soon :)
Worldtech96 Gaming cool cars
Its so very nice ,I love traxxas X -MAXX
Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth
A little more videos like this sometimes wouldn't hurt, it's fun and interesting to learn something sometimes also😊. or use another channel for them🙂
when putting parts out of cleaning bath..try using a magnet to pull things out of there easy... it helped me out....
Just put a deposit on a new Xmaxx because of your vids . I can’t wait !
$2000 with a twin charger and two lipos
I’ve watched this video 6 times now and I don’t know why I just like working on rc cars and this video is just that
I realize this video is a couple of years old.
Back in the Day probably before your time Kevin and before any one had heard of the name Traxxas there was another the original grand daddy of the monster trucks called the Clod Buster. For what it was and what it could do in it's day it was a pretty amazing little truck. one of the coolest feature it had was that with a simple adapter kit that converted the regular set of four tire all the way around to a duo set of over sized sand paddle tires all the way around going from a standard four tie configuration to an eight tire configuration. of course back in the day we didn't have these new water proof electronics so we had to either build a water proof box or stuff the electronics in to a balloon. by setting up the truck in this configuration the clod buster could do something no other monster truck of its class could do at the time. it could swim.
Now just imagine what might happen if you did that with your Xmaxx and didn't bother to mention it to that bunch you run with. in fact you could even challenge them to a game of follow the leader and drive right out in to the middle of the pond and watch them try to fallow you... hahahaha!
The difference i hear in this video and now is insane! You've really gotten a long way!
Appreciate all you do Kev.
on a stripped screw,if you use a drill bit and make the hole perfectly round sometimes you can hammer a hex driver into the hole and make a new hex to get it out.
Thanks for the picture of the receiver wiring. I needed this info a while ago, and couldn't find it anywhere.
Wow! I can't believe you just took apart the whole truck and put it back together lol im scared to just take off the body shell lol great video 👍
Definitely the center driveshaft I have a cut through one completely. It's amazing that that The plastic will cut that center driveshaft in half
I could never put that back together in a million years! Wow!
Great work! Looks great! No need to worry about what that sound may be... just send it to me and I promise you won’t hear a thing! 🙂
Hey Kevie Kev - Loved watching the clean, it’s so satisfying as a viewer to see before and after haha. Remember ‘stay low, move fast and trust no one’.
Your videos are golden gold! Absolutely love em. Thank you and keep ‘em comin!!
great job my friend....you are the best.....wish you the best
I had no idea there were so many parts! What drill do you use or recommend and what bits are needed for full disassembly?
It's a shame they don't sell the xmaxx in kit form. The best way to learn about your rc is to build it
Its your gear mesh... Take a piece of paper and put it between the motor pinion gear and the transmission drive gear tighten up the mesh just enough to slide the paper out without ripping or tearing
Hey Kev, maybe one of the plastic parts that actually hold the diffs or center gear is cracked and under load it flexes enough to slip the gears????
If your still having trouble with the grinding i would check inside the motor. When i was bashing with my Slash 3 of the teeth came off of the 90 tooth gear inside the motor. It was making a similar sound to what your X-Maxx was.
Unless you have a brush-less motor then disregard :D
Dont forget when you hydroplane. put chopped up foam pool noodle inside body shell (if the water is deep) if just a puddle doesnt matter. tape over holes on wheels , so they dont let in water, and put your battery's inside plastic bag and tie the bags on with string or something around the battery cables, just so your lipos dont get wet.
It's probably the main center drive shaft rubbing on the center section of the truck.
aaaaaah you know what kind off music i like ! top song on begining !
Lots of little bits to the R/C trucks, just like a real truck. Great vid well done, give purple power a try for cleaning it's a cleaning product, very safe 💯 environmentaly friendly. Smells good also..lol
