    Great video with both these trucks!! I really like the black & red body you got 🤩 I think the extra length is the best thing Traxxas could do with truck, now it's pretty much the same length as a 1/8 buggy 👍

    Great comparison. I went with the V2 Maxx. It's not that much more expensive than the V1 even when they discounted the V1 to $499. You get a lot more for around $65, including better tires, longer chassis, and such. It was a no brainer for me. I don't like the weak stock ESC so I replaced it with a Max 8 ESC from HW that bolts right up to the chassis. I also replaced the tires with Kaiju tires, since I think that Traxxas tires are not that durable. Stock motor and ESC are fine. I think I broke my Mac today while doing big jumps. I have a noise coming from the rear diff area or the spur gear after a bad landing. It sucks, but it happens. Thanks for the video 👍

    I love how the triger is way at the top makes it feel like it has so much snort. Very durable the most durable same level as Mt410 and they are more than an xmaxx.

    I actually agree with everything you said the whole vid! Except for those damm stock tires on v1 terrible. Grass is a high bite suface in my 👀 and thats where l had most of my problem. Loose dirt they are pretty good on. I would like to see you put the regular arms back on vl with sledgehammer tires. I think the terrible shit flat profile on all there monster truck tires are garbage included the xmaxx. The mx 4.3 are twise as heavy but in my opinion far superior tire in every way especially breaking steering blocks 😆. But traction maneuverability. Probably faster out of the gate to because you can pin it pretty good and because of the weight front stays down somewhat. Good vid bro 🙂💪🤨👊

    • @ReadySetRC
      @ReadySetRC  2 года назад

      @RC SMITH Thanks man! Yeah I'm that odd ball 🤪 For some reason when I run the stockers on the grassy areas I run, best performance. I throw the badlands or the MX28's no so great. What I've noticed that back break out and even helps with the steering. I want to tune up the rear shocks and throw the Sledgehammers on next.

      @MEDIAS-RC I saw those deals too, that price was insane. It may have been worth getting this instead. The old one is still a great truck but I think Traxxas may have gotten this right to where it can now be called a mini X-Maxx.

    I went widemaxx kit, steel drive shafts, 50 wt oil in front, 70 wt oil in the back, proline 3.8 hp belted tires and 20 tooth pinion gear in mine and it's a beast. Traxxas stock tires with that low profile inner and high profile outer design are trash.

      @Tommy Penny Nice build I've see few guys going this route. I don't know about the stock tires. I think its' all about where you run. They are all terrain so they are not going to be good everywhere. They just happen to be good at the places I run😊

    That weird that's were l had the most trouble with the shit old tires worst part of that truck l thought. I already have had the wide maxx and the sledgehammer tire. For about a year and a half now. I think in handling that looks the tires fixed it. And they must have re dampened the rear shocks at least cause it definitely lands more flat it seems. So lm going to build mine up body driveshaft battery strap. Already ordered my xmaxx wide kit as well straight from Traxxas. $212 cant wait. That truck will be the best 5th scale for another 4 or 5years. Wooooooooo!!!!!! T.I.T.T.S.
