❤Absolutely bucks traxxas sends out another model with plastic driveshafts,,they never last on brushless and it always cost 100 or more to upgrade to steel ,,come on TRAXXAS your the only company that puts out a model with ridiculous plastic shafts and its what puts me off buying them ,,probably own a heap if they were steel out the box !!!
@@damienthomas6655yeah it does suck that you have to spend more and more money on Traxxas cars cause they like to nickel and dime . This car I would keep stock , because of its size
I was excited until I saw the price. If they had been able to get down to like $230 or even $199 it would have been a must buy but at nearly $300 there are many other RC's I'd rather have.
Hahaha. That title got a laugh out of me, good on ya. You hit the main point right off: it's not really a mini, the tires are 4 inches in diameter, nearly the same as a 10th scale SCT. To me the fun of a mini IS managing the small tires. This is a stubby 10th scale with cheap electronics. Nice to see Traxxas trademarked High-Stiction Shocks are still around.
In that category it definitely performs like my Xmaxx. There are times I walk past my Xmaxx to grab my Vigilante or an Arrma and the Xmaxx body will pop off.
I got mine Friday and did an unboxing video, I got the Green one! Don't be jealous Phil, it is a nice colour! Glad I got the Green, went for a bash this morning, performed well but £280 is a lot of money!!!
Honestly the best thing about it is that it's well balanced. It jumps flat and doesn't want to wheelie out. IDK much about Traxxas but from what I see on RUclips videos and they tend to wheelie easily.
That was a treat, something I've not seen yet so I'd say your the first review. 1/10 electronics can be picked up at around the same price as some of the smaller stuff so why not go big if you can keep it cheap 👍
@@TomleyRC It was pretty awesome. Thankyou for replying. I know you have a lot of fans. And I can appreciate the time you took to reply! Love the channel
I told on another RUclipsr video the same thing, he almost got mad it seemed at least. Not to mention the XS design is 13 years old and in the Netherlands with discount even cheaper but looks more sturdy. Only complaints I have is the slipper clutch and the two cups that sits on the same shaft, those wear out especially on 3S.
@@feki122 I bought HD Cups and CVDs and they seem to hold up even on 3S. And I run larger Louise MT-Rocks wheels which should increase wear and tear. Though no HD clutch available sadly. So its a weak point.
@@andersmalmgren6528 Did you went with the center CVD's or just at the wheels? I've got two SS versions so with the CVD's in the wheels. Slipper clutches are a weak point, I just stack up on slippers now and then, after a couple they become easy to swap.
@feki122 i went for the HD Cups both on the outputs from motor and inputs/outputs on the diffs. Yeah so I have heard, the clutch was really loose form factory i tighten it all the way in after reading some posts over at HPI Savage forum but too late the clutch is already weared down so it still slips too much, have ordered new pads. I wish there were ceramic HD pads available. Edit: i also read somewhere that people have converted the slipper clutch to a center diff but thats above my paygrade :)
I'd take the Rlaarlo. On the same note the Redcat Valkyrie is on sale in the U.S now for $239. That's a tough as nails large 1/10 scale 4s basher with Hobbywing electronics.
@@boduke9428 In Switzerland and I suppose in whole Europe there is no Redcat distributor. Unfortunately I would have to order it in US and that means high shipping costs, customs costs and taxes. So it the final prize is quite high.
Great video as always. I was actually shocked to see that TQI transmitter even turn on after you stuck those ARRMA branded double A's up in there....🤣🤣
Love this thing! What an awesome little basher. And even though you broke it Phil, being traxxas, at least you know the parts to fix it will be dirt cheap compared to other brands repair part costs.
Pre-ordered one today for my son. Wanted something bigger than the Typhon Grom that he has. Was gonna get a Granite but at $329 + battery, the mini maxx with a battery and charger included seems like a good deal for $249
Nice truck! Size does matter a lot especially when you stuck in London :D My most played RC at the moment is the mojave grom just because I can pick it up go down the car park during the day (wfh powa) and have about 20mins fun no fuss. For big cars I need to travel to a nearby park then deal with the swarm of children it ends up a bit of a hassle... The only problem with the mojave grom that it is getting a bit boring, so this might be a good next truck seems to be a good balance in size and performance. Nice video, thanks!
Now let's see a challenge video against some of the other 1/12 size bashers! Curious how it compares to the Omni Terminator, the HBX 2997a, and other similar sized trucks! Also makes it a good name brand vs budget video!
I live in the U.S.A, I started collecting remote control vehicles I watch your videos all the time and I have learn a lot from you thank you so much for sharing your videos.
I just picked one up yesterday in green. The local store had it for $250 with $5 off. I wanted to get the new Vorteks 223s but it was not available. I' only drove it around my yard for a short time. It seems fast and durable enough for my use. I don't plan on doing any extreme bashing with it. I don't like that you need to use Traxxas batteries and chargers. It's a bit more expensive than other Chinese brands but it's also bigger than other 1/16 scale vehicles. So far so good.
They haven't caught up the HPI Savage XS is a 13 year old truck that is much better in almost every way. Traxxa$$ will no doubt do the usual and bring a VXL version out for about £500.
The brushless Rlaarlo Omni Terminator Carbon is a similar size, but it's got a center differential, accepts 2S or 3S(comes with a 3S 2200 battery), has threaded metal adjustable preload shocks, a gyro, adjustable ride height, and the transmitter is WAY better. It's super durable and can be had for $200-$250 depending on the time of day, lol. I do like the BL2 system, and in my experience Traxass batteries are really good, but the truck as it sits now is overpriced. Great video, and despite your usual (and well deserved!) Traxass (yes ass) trash talk, very neutral and seemingly unbiased. Well done!!
@@mandismith89for support you are right, but spares are as far away as the car itself. I can recommend Rlaarlo as a "ill just wait till the spares arrive" car
@@mandismith89 sounds like you had a bad experience with their support and trying to find spare parts. Lucky for me I haven't needed their support or parts yet, and I'm really enjoying the truck
Needs the 3S at least system in it. I thought you were going to break it on that landing that probably did break it. I don't think I have a single vehicle that walks away from that kind of landing without some sort of damage. Traxxas putting that 2S system in crap is what makes it "tough", because it's not fast and you can't speed it up. 30mph didn't sound slow until you ran it on that track and saw it took every bit it had just to clear those jumps. 40mph gives you big jump speed and 50mph gives you big air control. 30mph gives you lawn darts!
It had better be beyond awesome for nearly £300.!!! 2S only btw.... Just let that sink in for a moment.!!! Just like the "new" 😉 😂 Jato 4X4.! 😂 😂 😂 The new Jato is reasonable priced too.!! 😁😁😁 Seriously though, I'd rather Traxxas released the Mini Maxx as a rolling chassis, I might be interested then.!
Compare it to any of the other top brand 1/12ish scale vehicles and it is a pretty good deal. These are the prices in the US. Team Associated Reflex 14MT $259.99 battery and charger smaller than the Mini Maxx. HPI Savage XS Flux $299.99 no battery no charger. If I ran into a hobby store and saw these 3 sitting next to each other on the shelf I would probably grab the Maxx. Now compare it to the plethora of Amazon cheapos and Banggood specials and yes it is expensive. But most of those vehicles aren't even in the same class.
The second I heard 1/10th scale electronics inside my mind instantly thought VXL. These minis are unfortunately not available at my local hobby shop yet.
Looked pretty good in the video. Then noticed the price. It is 100 gbp more than the MJX 10208 Hyper Go V2 ! A 4S capable car. Can't see the Mini Maxx being worth that price differential. Eyes of beholder/user etc but needs substantial price reduction to be 'on my list'.
@dokedoker3340 ive had 3 amazon mini's, all 3 outlasted my grom, and my brothers 3 groms. They also have outlasted my 3s blx granite, along with my brother's big rock, and talion. They have also outlasted my buddies Maxx and slash.
@dokedoker3340 and just for the cherry on top, they are $100 less, some faster out of box, and the only downside for parts is you MUST order them cant just walk into a shop thats IF you break it
I feel this product already existed ie 10 scale stuff in 12 scale basher. Hpi Savage xs is the one I'm thinking off. That did seam to drive nicely but at £280 I'm not sure of it's valve
I feel sick cant believe you bought not 1 but 3 lol new kagama 4s for extra £80 all day long, if want something mini max size i think there better buys out there.but we all know your a traxxas fanboy at heart really haha
I agree with full size component use. I would consider this on that alone. I hate having to buy different size components for different vehicles. I already do that with the planes I don't want to dive as deep into the ground vehicles.
It was $250 usd before, which comes with charger and battery, which is $20 more than the mojave grom brushless combo, I thought at that price it was good
Yes to the VXL. I kinda wish that they would have done 2 SKUs like the old Mini E-Revo. Something mild and something crazy. 30+ is nice but would have loved seeing a 3s version that could do like 45-50.
Holy 💩! Did Phil find a Traxxas he loves and AND he didn't have all the elements aligned and change half the drive train to hit their claimed speed! I love it!
i think the reason traxxas makes the rear lower is to absorb shocks and landings better, you can also notice how suspensions are at an angle and theyre placed in front of the arms. but this is just opinion, im no expert
Whats annoying is that hpi had an rc truck called the mini recon and it went close to 30 with the right gearing.. It was about the same size and it was brushed.looks like an ok little truck from traxxas. Like the black one. Just picked up the jato 4x4 and kind of like it for spec class racing although I am problemly going to make it 4s or 6s soon.
@@craigknox8516 I agree. Lot less money for something you’re trying to break! Plus, after market for the mini MJX’s is unreal, along with the prices on those parts. Also, I get my replacement parts from AllieExpress in 7 to 10 days.
@TomleyRC yeah true mate haha. Other than the spare gear getting chewed up my mjx it just doesn't seem to want to break 😂 sometimes when I'm on my last battery and it's nearly dead I proppa risk it and send it high and hard. I cringe when it lands but it doesn't break hahaha
Speed isn't directly proportional to power. It needs high gearing to get maximum speed on a smooth surface but lower gearing will give the best performance off road.
I've not bought one yet as I was hoping you would, and im glad you did. The thing I don't like is that there is no body protection included, instead you have to buy it separately, same for the wheelie bar. I will still buy one anyway, but when the roof protection. As I've said before Phil, you need to try the Maxx v2. It's a great truck 😊
This looks sized to be a direct competitor to the Omni Terminator. Price wise it's closer to much bigger trucks. Mini Max versus OT comparison video coming soon??
Awesome bashing and review, Phil!!! 😃 Remember that "kamtom" little car, a 1/32 for 35 dollars if I'm not mistaken? Yeah, mine just arrived... A friend liked it, but when I went to look for it for him... It's sold out everywhere! 😳 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Kin ell Phil - thought Talbot had nicked the tx off ya 😉 😂 "Dont hit me ......... Don't hit my car "😂 "Forgot it was there " 🫣🤣🤣 Hurry up & get it uploaded Mr .T 🙏
Awesome little car and it shows they are durable looking at your video hitting tree n landing badly few times I like it n the maxx sits low at the back too
Nice overview, sir! Was wondering if you have a video of how you attach the cam to the transmitter? If I understand correctly, this is how you set it up. Thanks!
Nice litle preview of the next episode of tomleyrc😂. You should have done a dragonballz voice over for that: "will Phil not hit hem self, is mini max going to break speed records? Stay tuned for the exiting conclusion in the next episode of tom ley rc" 😅 Sorry I'm not on my meds..😅

For that price you could get the hpi savage mini which I think is better value. 3s and nearly 70 mph out of the box

Comes with remote n battery? Great deal
Kinda weird it was originally like $230 then they upped it to $250 because Traxxas lol😂

I'm excited to get one on the show but it's not due in the UK until 21st Dec. It looks wicked, I want the green one and I'm happy its not too small.
Shudda went appliance electronics
There were loads in stock over the weekend
Holy 💩! Did Phil find a Traxxas he loves and AND he didn't have all the elements aligned and change half the drive train to hit their claimed speed! I love it!
i think the reason traxxas makes the rear lower is to absorb shocks and landings better, you can also notice how suspensions are at an angle and theyre placed in front of the arms. but this is just opinion, im no expert
Saw one of these today at the LHS. You lot have some nice places to drive there!
What's it like size wise compared to the MT10 Phil?
It would be neat to see you upgrade this mini! I think 3s would be perfect to get those flips.
Whats annoying is that hpi had an rc truck called the mini recon and it went close to 30 with the right gearing.. It was about the same size and it was brushed.looks like an ok little truck from traxxas. Like the black one. Just picked up the jato 4x4 and kind of like it for spec class racing although I am problemly going to make it 4s or 6s soon.
I saw the missing drive shaft on the Smyter lol 🙈 OCD with a touch of the TISM and I notice EVERYTHING 😅
I already ordered a max10 g2, new motor and a servo for mine. Hopefully Vitavon gets cranking on the parts for it.
Yes!! I was hoping to see a vxl system in it. Traxxas claims 50+mph with it on 3s.
They are not far off 😇
As a skate park basher that is going to break why not just buy an mjx hyper go 16208. That's just my opinion. Don't hate me for it haha
@@craigknox8516 I agree. Lot less money for something you’re trying to break! Plus, after market for the mini MJX’s is unreal, along with the prices on those parts. Also, I get my replacement parts from AllieExpress in 7 to 10 days.
Yep.. everything breaks, just some more than others 😅
@TomleyRC yeah true mate haha. Other than the spare gear getting chewed up my mjx it just doesn't seem to want to break 😂 sometimes when I'm on my last battery and it's nearly dead I proppa risk it and send it high and hard. I cringe when it lands but it doesn't break hahaha
Waht the Heck... 300€ 😮
Should be little more wider.. Its like Maxx V1
I bet it’s coming once the mini maxx hype is over so Traxxas can release the mini wide maxx so rack in more money, like they did with the maxx.
Speed isn't directly proportional to power. It needs high gearing to get maximum speed on a smooth surface but lower gearing will give the best performance off road.
Yeah I know
Lol. Wow.
For this price Id rather have the Rlaaro Omni-Terminator
We call that the Carolina Squat 😂
@@Lyf3style MJX mini’s are the same, but I could adjust it by different shock mounting and spring compression.
There's a reason Arrma avoided a new brushless Granite Grom. The center of gravity is too high. So many videos showing it being unstable and floppy.
Gravity is a hoax.
I've not bought one yet as I was hoping you would, and im glad you did. The thing I don't like is that there is no body protection included, instead you have to buy it separately, same for the wheelie bar. I will still buy one anyway, but when the roof protection.
As I've said before Phil, you need to try the Maxx v2. It's a great truck 😊
Love the jumper you were wearing! Showing your age putting the preloads on the front mate 😂
This looks sized to be a direct competitor to the Omni Terminator. Price wise it's closer to much bigger trucks. Mini Max versus OT comparison video coming soon??
Drinking game - how many time can you hit the same puddle that you are trying avoid! lol Great video!
😅
do you think stadium truck wheels and tires would fit the mini maxx or would the size be to small or to big
4:49
😂😂🤣😂
NICE TROLL 🤣😂
that hoodie was too funny XD Tell you what that Mini Maxx is really impressive, wasn't expecting it to be like that at all to be honest!
Awesome bashing and review, Phil!!! 😃
Remember that "kamtom" little car, a 1/32 for 35 dollars if I'm not mistaken? Yeah, mine just arrived... A friend liked it, but when I went to look for it for him... It's sold out everywhere! 😳
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Oh… I’ll have to have a look. I’ve got a couple still to review
It's no Merv & . sorry Traxxas. Fun starts @ 40 + in the 21 st Century.
Kin ell Phil - thought Talbot had nicked the tx off ya 😉 😂 "Dont hit me ......... Don't hit my car "😂 "Forgot it was there " 🫣🤣🤣 Hurry up & get it uploaded Mr .T 🙏
Is that an open vented brushless motor?
Awesome little car and it shows they are durable looking at your video hitting tree n landing badly few times I like it n the maxx sits low at the back too
Awesome job on the video Phil👍👍 BTW why do you think that Traxxas didn't bother adding a wheelie bar to it?
They found the right sweetest spot with the size of that one... Will be a top seller imo (with me buying one too)
Nice overview, sir!
Was wondering if you have a video of how you attach the cam to the transmitter? If I understand correctly, this is how you set it up. Thanks!
Nice litle preview of the next episode of tomleyrc😂. You should have done a dragonballz voice over for that: "will Phil not hit hem self, is mini max going to break speed records? Stay tuned for the exiting conclusion in the next episode of tom ley rc" 😅
Sorry I'm not on my meds..😅
Haha
I wana see the size comparison with the 1/16 summit
It’s pretty much the same. I’ll try and remember in the next video 👌
You was missing a axle in the green one lol just saying I noticed 😁
i love your hoodie jacket.
did you ran out of firewood? TOMMY SOLD HIS SOUL
