I'll stick with my stock x-maxx, it already weighs enough. I'll upgrade it as parts break, if they do, time will tell. I can't believe it still doesn't have the roof skid.
Great review , I can relate to going to the freezer in my laundry room and end up staring at my R/C collection, it’s part of the reason we get into this hobby
I was at my local hobby shop today. Once again the spur gear was stripped with 10 minutes of run time on a customer that just dropped $1,500. I use a Robinson Racing part #1218. I also use the hot racing steel spur gear (54 T) and have had very good luck versus traxxas pinion and spurs. One thing for sure, DO NOT use the self righting feature. It's so hard on the diffs and the rest of the drivline.
Some people like the Velineon because it works fine for most people. If it didn't, people wouldn't buy them off people who are upgrading, and I trust you wouldn't sell it if it was junk.
Knowing you my friend from watching your channel that Xmaxx will stay the same way u show us today,I'm the same way,hope u enjoy it.blessings from Massachusetts 🙏🙏
I love the blue color. This most likely will be my first RC car. Not planning on getting any performance parts with the initial purchase but eventually I know it will happen. If I get used to it. Thank you for such detailed information!
Fantastic video, you touched on so many great points 💯 I built a Xmaxx & XRT back in October 23 till Early December 23...The parts are quality no doubt, you like parts for looks as much as i do, so install the stainless screw kit from Traxxas 7889X, they look amazing and actually do have purpose and function...I did buy a green Xmaxx Ultimate as soon as it was released, i have blue, red and green parts, each on there own truck, the red are my favorite.. Traxxas does build quality trucks and parts, The factory support is also amazing if its needed...I could go on for hours you posted an awesome video!!! great work 💯
Can you do a comparison between this and the Arrma Big Rock 6s? Im debating between them as they are both on sale for massive discounts right now. I love the Xmaxx size but i also love the Arrma scale appearance. Its a very hard choice… 549 for the arrma and 899 for the xmaxx
Hi great video. I have the green one I wish Tracks has made a green stand. And I am so lucky because I paid 1400 cash for mine here in Pennsylvania. I also installed the wide kit.
I bought a shelf queen xmaxx 8s (with rpm hubs/2 lipos) off market place for $500 😂 Its a fun truck but there is noooo way I'd pay what they want for these things new. My esc, servo, pinion gear, and stock tires didnt last 2 weeks...
love watching but i would like to know why you want to get rid of th vxl and radieo, i have had a few x maxxas and have never had any problems with them. just picked up a ultimate, and also heve the xrt, no problems with eather. just wandering...
Hella expensive but always a good looking dominant truck on the planet LoL 🤣. I definitely diggin all the alloys. Some people think they're unnecessary but they are awesome whenever you go extreme. Mine is fully modded and it's holding killer. Awesome unboxing brother
Oh, I love the matching an doesn’t dude that’s why I bought it. That’s why I got the green one. I loved it. The diff covers I especially like to look at.
Ultimate is totally worth it if you were going to do most of those upgrades anyway. I've had my Christmas Outcast 8S on the bench for weeks as I'm slowly getting all my aluminum aftermarket parts on it. I could just do a marathon build session and be done with it, but I have enjoyed having the machine on the workbench just to look at as eye candy. Knowing full well that it will look like a masterpiece when done, suitable as a shelf queen, but instead get taken out Beat-Your-Truck style. It will only look this good once so I'm enjoying that through this slow build process. I've got other trucks to run and other hobbies and passions to attend to at the same time. It is a shame that the RTR electronics on the XMAXX isn't a keeper, particularly something as significant as the ESC. I mean, yeah I'm used to replacing servos, but it would kill me if replacing the power system was effectively mandatory for a reasonable level of performance.
Awesome Truck man, I hope you keep this one i started watching your content on your old 1,100KV Hobbywing X-Maxx and was thinking building my own someday.
Arrma got it right with the EXB rollers. These new X Maxx trucks are just clean and unscatched aluminum anodizing. At least when women buy jewelry it doesn't get scratched and look like crap a few weeks later lol. I like my X Maxx I just don't fall for the whole "new squeaky clean rc look/smell" phenomenon that has been separating consumers from their wallets for decades. I keep my cars clean and actually have a separate display body for most of them, that way I can Simple Green/WD40 the plastics and don't have to look at 1k+ of my money with a destroyed piece of plastic cloaking it all as a "body."
I have a sledge(stock esc) and i noticed right away that it accelerated way faster than the xrt. I did get the ultimate because like you i compared the cost of parts it came with. If i got a max6 where do you get the proper connectors to use traxxas 4s batteries?
I love that stand. I’m definitely getting one of those stands good video Brother I got the green one 😎💯. All those anodized parts are new with the beveled edge. I think it’s got a weird name like Hyun or something the edge but I love my green one dude is sweet. I’m glad somebody did a cool video on us. I’m definitely getting one of those stands
Some R/C's are obviously good value for money and don't need any justification. I don't blame anyone for wanting the best version of something, but there's a reason every conversation about this truck turns into a math equation.
That's good it turns into a math equation then everyone will know exactly how much money they saved...Now in Canada it's a different story and I'm not talking about them in any way, but in the USA totally awesome trucks at a great price!!!!
Hey hope all is well. Your channel is one of my fav’s I have a question I own a Kraton 8S but I want to buy something smaller that’s a little bit more convenient to play with like maybe the spark or typhoon can you please recommend something to me 6S or 4S either works thanks bro 👍
Are you looking for a buggy specifically? Budget? I love my granite for those days i don't want to pull out my outcast 8s. But i'm more of a jump and flips basher if that's the way you roll. If not, i think the big rock 3s is a good all-arounder. Plus, it does pretty well on 4s once you upgrade the diffs.
Hey man... I have to know.. Obviously everyone has unique income, and budgets.... but how do you justify having 5 xmaxxes, when you can just have one and change out parts? lol Wild.
Canadian prices are funny, so after converting currency $2100 is $1560usd that’s the same here, roughly. Still an overpriced roller. Buddy got one and isn’t impressed. Insane, to spend that much and have it be the start of the build. For what you get and what you end up with, it would be nice to see a heads up running comparison when you’re done to see if the extra money was worth it.
No heavy duty arms on the ultimate. Traxxas adds a bunch of extra weight and don't add the one OEM part that would make the vehicle better at handling the weight. That and no roof skid plate. Once I saw that I knew it was a joke. Both of those should come stock on all xmaxx's. They also just came out with a brand new servo for the xmaxx, so now the normal xmaxx is 2 servos removed from their best product, and the ultimate's servo was made obsolete just after going on sale. Traxxas doesn't have an inkling of respect for their customers lol.
I will never buy an ultimate version from Traxxas. Our hobby ist called model construction, so I will install the parts for myself and there are better aluminium parts available on the market then Traxxas.
It os also called ready to run, meaning there are some of us that prefer what we prefer. There is room for.eveeyokes tastes in the hobby. I will never understand why anyone has issues with what other people choose to do with their own time and money. Not your thing? Don't buy it. YOUR preferences doesn't damper anyone else's fortunately
Stop saying " all that kind of fun stuff " I'm from UK, great video and detail but drives me nuts. That and the word Guys every other word. No offence. 😀

They sell red anodized parts ?
@@RcPlayer-tt2vw Yes...Red, Blue, Green, orange and black parts.....

I’ve done this to my Maxx and wish Traxxas would make more of the same with different vehicles
I have to say she is a beauty. They do make those aluminum upgrades look so damn good with the silver edge.
Hella expensive but always a good looking dominant truck on the planet LoL 🤣. I definitely diggin all the alloys. Some people think they're unnecessary but they are awesome whenever you go extreme. Mine is fully modded and it's holding killer. Awesome unboxing brother
Check end points on steering. Mine on both sides got scratch marks, that shiny blue got marks now lol
Hey Nice xmaxx is the motor washer mount is part number 7759?
Oh, I love the matching an doesn’t dude that’s why I bought it. That’s why I got the green one. I loved it. The diff covers I especially like to look at.
Some day I’ll have an xmaxx 😊
It’s cool but I’d put a Pro Line body on it.

Plastic shock caps is exactly how traxxas rigs things for hopup money. I run my Talion HARD and the shocks have never needed anything
I have run the 8s and many other traxxas speed controls and never had an issue. Change the plugs and run it. Caught a hobby wing on fire though
I have a sledge(stock esc) and i noticed right away that it accelerated way faster than the xrt. I did get the ultimate because like you i compared the cost of parts it came with. If i got a max6 where do you get the proper connectors to use traxxas 4s batteries?
Awesome purchase there Jason ❤ my dream truck right there always wanted one ,
Keep up the great work

I only have one.

@@christopherh6361 Ohhhh. "I've had 5".
@@JasonPerrinRCVlogs Oh true, so you sell and end up buying another haha. got it. thanks bro, great vids!
Personally, I think I'd rather buy a beat x Maxx and build from the ground up. In the us one can find used x Maxx for 350$ to 450$
You,ve got it now... stop trying to justify the extra cash for the ultimate. Just enjoy it.

I’ll never understand why people buy a traxxas just to replace everything and call it junk
The key to life my boy, is to do what makes you happy and allow others to do the same. The End 👍🏾
Same reason they buy Arrma and do the exact same thing.
