Great bash you're really getting that truck dialed in! thanks for putting the real punishment to the parts too great example of how tough the new X series is!
Bars&Tone, my wheel nuts only come loose with those tires. Not sure why? I just put my 800kv max 5 back in. Best stunting setup is stock tires, stock motor with 15 tooth wfo pinion 33 tooth spur. You also need a controller you can turn down the power. It’s a stunt machine. We will see what I can do today testing pretty much your setup. Great video! I’m glad your happy with the setup. Nose dive ouch!!! What brand gears are you using? I shred thinner gears in one run.
I use my Makita XDT15R1B brushless impact wrench. Mine never come off. I also use 24mm hub nuts. They work better than that tiny stock Xmaxx nut. You just have to make the hole in the middle bigger with one of those drill step drill bits.
Granite I just ordered a brushless senton to try out arrma's smaller rigs. I have an Xmaxx and outcast 6s exb, and there's not many places I've found to turn them loose.
love the vid, got the same combo for my outcast 8s .... it needs a complete rebuild (bought it second hand so checking it all out) and then its ripping time
I have been selfriteing mine for 2 yrs almost never had a problem. Use the ser button. Dont do it yourself. The giro make the wheels slow and speed up. It is actually very easy on truck. Try it if you want 😉
Another awesome session Bro. You got her Dialed in perfectly now. M2C Goodies keeping holding everything nice and tight. Awesome sends as always David. Well done brother.
Granite is a cool truck . Never had one but looked at them before . I anxious to see the ryft with those lockers . I took mine out Sunday . Just can't figure it out . To much torque twist . With a sway bar . IDK .
I'm excited to see how that works out . I hope it helps . If not I'm about done with that one . Its a cool rig just don't like how it drives or handles . Thanks 🤟
Granite whaaaaaaaaaat?! Lol. That Xmaxx is awesome! Nice esc, motor combo! I think the reason i burnt my black servo out is too much resistance in the rack. Jus got it put back together today, in time for the rain, rain rain! *also also,you should get the Proline shocks. Like 430$ but they are butter smooth!
Hey buddy do you happen to have the links to the gears you put in there the spur in the pinion and where you bought them in the size I just got my max5 motor combo today
Granite ! That xmaxx is such a beast. About to put the max5 1100kv combo in my outcast 8s. Looking forward to seeing how that performs. Not sure what gearing to go with yet. Any suggestions?
It’s not slower you just have to gear it differently but I have changed out this motor now to an 1100 KV because it did have too much low and torque and it was heavier
@@BarstoneRC 800kv is slower, the stock motor of the XMaxx is 1200kv And you take the kv and multiply by the battery voltage to get the rpm which is the total capable speed in revolutions per minute
What diffs do you run? I have an XRT and I’m just running through difs like no tomorrow. I do have upgraded differentials and they are shimed pretty well and even after shimming, I only get one run in before my diffs blow and it is always the ring and pinion?
Obviously make sure your opinion is good or not chewed up but honestly, I still had a lot of problems with mine near the end before I sold mine. The car was fun, but I just broke too many things all the time.
It's got some major hang time! Not much of a large scale basher myself, more into 10th scale monster trucks like the traxxas bigfoot or the arrma granite :) but always enjoy your videos dude! Thanks for sharing, glad to see you're having fun 😃
@@BarstoneRC I plan on doing the same thing so I can continue to use ec5 connectors. Soldering 8 gauge wire to an ec5 is not very fun. I'll be running the stock motor.
Well you're making me want one with how much it keeps improving, it really is Traxxas' best Truck. GRANITE I'm really starting to like it a lot. Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m excited to see somebody ripping this thing around! But yes with some improvements and changes this truck is just awesome especially with the system in it.
(Granite) what the heck😉 I know of another youngster thats just getting into the hobby that has been on our channel that could benefit from a nice Arrma. Man I'm would love to rip that motocross track and visit that hobby shop it all look so cool! Not to bad of a trip coming from Cincinnati Ohio.
Get some thicker oil them shocks buddy. I've learned on my kraton exb with a massive 49xx series motor, thicker fluid helps so much with that bounce on landing.
@@BarstoneRC It comes stock 30f/50r That much bounce, I would go 50f/70r But that's just my opinion. My kraton I use 80/90 but I was also trying to get rid the aggressive chassis slap it had. Now it quickly and gently hugs the ground upon landing instead slapping like pissed off iguana tail.
I have tried many different gears on this car, and overall was not happy with the performance or control, I have since removed that motor put the stock motor back in with 20/50 gears with a max5 ESC.
@@BarstoneRC thats the best perfomance i had as of yet. however, it instantly got too hot and i ruined the motor. now im thinking of doing an even dumber attempt and going 1650 19 50 instead. that thing has the best performance but you gotta stay non stop eye to eye with the temps.
Yeah I haven’t got to run this thing in the hot summer temperatures yet I ran it a little bit in fall temperatures in winter and it’s been running OK but I’ll see what it’s like. Come summertime.
@@BarstoneRC ye we have a problem since we never even had rain in christmas or new years yet lol. t shirt weather all year around unfortunately. never saw snow in my life :( i might try 1650 though at some point. feel free to check out some of my content. nothing as good as yours but its mine xd
Granite....GRANITE.... Did i win? Lol ive never won anything ,im 2 years late😅. Idc i have been subscribed to you and inspired since i got out of my depression and found rc cars thank u
Get on barstone glad to c Ur liking Ur xmaxx again I got same combo except I got max6 ESC very torquey if u know what I mean like it wheelie's very easily even at speed to, nice glad Ur liking it cuz I love mine dude peace out 👍💯🍺🍺🍺🍺👌
Great bash you're really getting that truck dialed in! thanks for putting the real punishment to the parts too great example of how tough the new X series is!
X series! 👍

@@joseCalderon1976 yeah the xmaxx has tiny nuts lol. Seriously though the upgrade from those tiny nuts to big nuts made a big difference.
Stick blue Loctite on those wheel nuts on that X-Maxx. You will be golden then.

I have love the granite I started with a granite and it paved the way for all of my rc adventures love the granite
Damn she sailed bro!
Definitely a beast. I've got a hobbywing 1100(kv or a1650 . It's fun hopping up the mighty X Maxx. Nice video,sorry i missed your drawing
Nice 👍
Nice to see the x maxx didn't let you down after all.😄👍
Granite!! Count me in please! 😁 Bash on brother!!
Granite. My grandkids would love a granite. Thanks for the opportunity.
Granite. Nice truck. Got the Castle Xlx2 800kv. Its a complete monster! 💪🏾
Granite very nice video and thanks for explaining the things you have done and the reasons!
love the vid, got the same combo for my outcast 8s .... it needs a complete rebuild (bought it second hand so checking it all out) and then its ripping time
Granite.thanks for the opportunity bud
Granite is a very cool truck I would love to have it
That jump ramp in the background at around 5:30 looks super smooth in the video
Nice video as always mate. Great to see the x-maxx jumping so nice and controlled!
Granite!! Right on buddy
Granite thanks for the chance bro im close lol central PA. ill pick it up if i win haha thanks bars&tone Rc
Nice that would be easy shipping. Lol
Granite. Keep up the great work brother
Granite. Check out the video that Thunder Rc posted about the surgical tubing mod to keep the body on?👍

Thanks man I had a lot of fun out there yesterday the weather was perfect and things held together for me what more can you ask right?
Great content to keep the viewer watching!
Nice Combo! Beautiful video 😀
Nice clean run.
Xmaxx definitely a beast great video as always man, ✌️ Granite
Thanks buddy I appreciate it
Granite is a great platform. You are so lucky to have such great spots to run. Nice!
It really is a great little truck
I really think you should build a cen Reeper still to try out at the mx track, especially with something like the hobbywing max6 combo
I might build one in the winter months
They really are fun trucks to mess with, ive had alot of tumbles and even smacked a brick wall at about 10-20mph and only bent a shock spring.
Granite. Awesome videos dude how am i barely seeing them. Keep up the goood videos
Thanks buddy! Do you mean they’re not showing up in your feed? Are notifications turned on?
Great video man loving that xmaxx setup
Thanks 👍
Same system I have in my xmaxx...I have mod1.5 30/35 gearing and love it......Granite
Granite, love those 3s platforms
Granite is a cool truck . Never had one but looked at them before . I anxious to see the ryft with those lockers . I took mine out Sunday . Just can't figure it out . To much torque twist . With a sway bar . IDK .
The rear locker helped a lot with the twist but I just got the other two lockers in last night so I’ll do a video with it now.
I'm excited to see how that works out . I hope it helps . If not I'm about done with that one . Its a cool rig just don't like how it drives or handles . Thanks 🤟
Granite the finer things in life are expensive, RC life is so much fun!
Grainite keep up the nice videos bars&tone
Thanks buddy
Great content and good setup on the xmaxx!
Granite! Always wanted one after having a ecx torment years ago lol
Granite
I need to save up to get an xmaxx. Been looking at videos too long.
Granite
Awesome bash bro xmaxx ripping
Thanks bud
Granite. Awsome vid man love my Xmaxx
The granite is a great basher 👍
GRANITE 👍🏼🤟🏼💪🏼 Keep it going. Don’t stop.
I dont need a new grantie, but hey you got any extra tires for one? I need to buy some for mine lol
I’m not sure I’ll take a look
@@BarstoneRC hell ya
Love the proline masher x on the xmaxx
Granite would be great project to upgrade it
Got a new sub from me for this bash. Keep it up Brother!
Thanks man I really appreciate it I’m glad you liked the video!
Granite whaaaaaaaaaat?! Lol. That Xmaxx is awesome! Nice esc, motor combo! I think the reason i burnt my black servo out is too much resistance in the rack.

Hey buddy do you happen to have the links to the gears you put in there the spur in the pinion and where you bought them in the size I just got my max5 motor combo today
I’ll see if I can find them I was recently looking about a week ago and there was nothing in stock.
@@BarstoneRC thank you
I’ll get back to you later this afternoon if I have any luck finding them or either way let you know what I found
@@BarstoneRC okay thanks how many teeth you got on the pinion and spur gear
@@BarstoneRC also you should try some vg racing shock springs their dual rate and they work awesome for huge jumps
The granite is the perfect starter 3s monster truck for anyone getting into the hobby xmaxx is flying nice
Granite. One of my favorite bashers!!
Xmaxx has gone beast mode - very nice 👍👍
It’s a different animal now for sure. Lol
Granite are nice rides an great vids
Granite,
would be a great bashed for Xmas!!!!
Love the xmaxx brother! Nice rig! Keep the vids coming.🤙🏽
Thanks bud I appreciate it
Granite
Great vids bud 👍🏼
Granite is an awesome little beast.
Granite and great vid👍
Nice bash as usual. GRANITE!
Granite . Nice air for an X-Maxx.👍
Granite...
Love the videos brother!!!
Thanks bud
Granite.🔥🔥 You truly are amazing basher man love what you did to your x max so things truly a beast now👊
Granite is a great rig love the channel Bars!!!
Thanks buddy I appreciate it
Granite. 😂🤣
Are the hex's 17mm on the xmaxx? Maybe m2c 6lug kit for Arrma may be an option?
Epic video buddy, xmaxx is looking and running sweet now looks like u found the perfect fit for it 🤙👍💪
Granite ! That xmaxx is such a beast. About to put the max5 1100kv combo in my outcast 8s. Looking forward to seeing how that performs. Not sure what gearing to go with yet. Any suggestions?
I believe some guys were running the 30/50 and 32/50 on that motor
@@BarstoneRC I'll give that a try. Thanks Bars!
GRANITE Dude that xmaxx is a beast! would be nice to have another 3s car in the stable another beater car.
Good luck buddy
Love your vids! Thanks!
Waiting on my m2c in the mail for mine
Why use a slower motor than the stock one?
It’s not slower you just have to gear it differently but I have changed out this motor now to an 1100 KV because it did have too much low and torque and it was heavier
@@BarstoneRC 800kv is slower, the stock motor of the XMaxx is 1200kv
And you take the kv and multiply by the battery voltage to get the rpm which is the total capable speed in revolutions per minute
I understand it’s technically a slower motor but that’s what gearing is for, it just requires more. But it’s a very torky motor
What diffs do you run? I have an XRT and I’m just running through difs like no tomorrow. I do have upgraded differentials and they are shimed pretty well and even after shimming, I only get one run in before my diffs blow and it is always the ring and pinion?
Obviously make sure your opinion is good or not chewed up but honestly, I still had a lot of problems with mine near the end before I sold mine. The car was fun, but I just broke too many things all the time.
The Granite would be a good first basher for my oldest 🤞🏾 definitely liking the set up on the xmaxx. Keep up the good work 👏🏾
It's got some major hang time! Not much of a large scale basher myself, more into 10th scale monster trucks like the traxxas bigfoot or the arrma granite :) but always enjoy your videos dude! Thanks for sharing, glad to see you're having fun 😃
Yeah definitely out there having fun and enjoying myself but thanks buddy I really appreciate it.
Granite...and I have same set up in my xmaxx but I have B&M unbreakable gears she's a monster
Did you have any issues with the 10 gauge to 8 gauge wiring on the esc?
No I never really ran into any issues with that
@@BarstoneRC I plan on doing the same thing so I can continue to use ec5 connectors. Soldering 8 gauge wire to an ec5 is not very fun. I'll be running the stock motor.
How did you connect the wires?
Soldering them
Granite - I’ve been loving the vids
Thanks buddy
Looks good dude 👍
Well you're making me want one with how much it keeps improving, it really is Traxxas' best Truck. GRANITE I'm really starting to like it a lot. Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m excited to see somebody ripping this thing around! But yes with some improvements and changes this truck is just awesome especially with the system in it.
I don’t own an xmaxx but this looks like a must have upgrade 👍
It really is, not only is it versatile for whatever motor combo you want to use but it also helps support that center drive shaft.
Hello my rc bashing brother, put my name in on the Granite draw.
Man.. you know how to jump! Perfect..!
Btw, your videos great also beacuse of the sound quality.. great job👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks man, I know that’s one thing that drives me crazy on videos is when it sounds terrible that’s why I always wear a lapel microphone
(Granite) what the heck😉 I know of another youngster thats just getting into the hobby that has been on our channel that could benefit from a nice Arrma. Man I'm would love to rip that motocross track and visit that hobby shop it all look so cool! Not to bad of a trip coming from Cincinnati Ohio.
Yeah that’s not too far! I was just in Columbus for work two days ago
Granite, 3s line is probably the best for skatepark bashing and I think the granite would be the perfect start thanks so much for doing these
Granite buddy!
Londo said hi 👋also nice bash
Tell him I said hi!!
Granite
Sure hope I win, could use a new little 3 smasher to give to a family member for Xmas.
Granite baby!
Get some thicker oil them shocks buddy. I've learned on my kraton exb with a massive 49xx series motor, thicker fluid helps so much with that bounce on landing.
Yeah that’s my next project is working on the suspension on this thing.
@@BarstoneRC
It comes stock 30f/50r
That much bounce, I would go 50f/70r
But that's just my opinion.
My kraton I use 80/90 but I was also trying to get rid the aggressive chassis slap it had. Now it quickly and gently hugs the ground upon landing instead slapping like pissed off iguana tail.
I was thinking about bumping it up 20 or 30 on each end so that sounds pretty good man I’ll give that a try!
Nice bash with the xmax… granite
Thanks bud
Granite is a must have RC!!!
Granite countertops are nice too! Even better if it’s Arrma granite 😆
Lol that is true!
I know its an old video but hey, I wanna show I watched it all. GRANITE!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
Lol thanks buddy

How are you liking those masher x tires man? Also im still impressed with the 6s power of the hobbywing combo
Now that I got the gearing set up I love the tires
Get on barstone glad to c Ur liking Ur xmaxx again I got same combo except I got max6 ESC very torquey if u know what I mean like it wheelie's very easily even at speed to, nice glad Ur liking it cuz I love mine dude peace out 👍💯🍺🍺🍺🍺👌

Get on dude hope u had good bash yesterday 🛠️⚙️👌
And it was nice to hear from you speak soon bud Shaun 👍🛠️⚙️🔧👍
@@BarstoneRC hi, love your videos. What shock oil and springs are you using on your xmaxx? I have the same setup but mine seems a bit soft?
M2C valve kit with stock oils
