Nice video. Picked up a brand new 8S X-Maxx snap on edition with the pretty black body. Pretty sure it’s the V2 but dang it’s hard to tell without anything to compare it to. I wonder if the rear axle carriers need the update on this model or not /. Gah

So is the 1600kv motor better than the 1200kv? Should I put the 1600kv motor from my 6s into my 8s? I’m running 19/50 in my 6s but with a max6 so I run it on 8s, will the 1200kv motor on similar gearing not perform as well? If I go 20/50 or 20/46 on the 1200kv would that not be better?
@markkumollari4323 күн бұрын
Ok, so personally, I like the 1600kv motor because it turns more RPM on either 8S or 6S than the 1275kv motor with 20/50 gears. Now, I also run good fans, Protek or equal, and keep an eye on my temps, especially if the day is hot. 20/50 gears I wouldn't recommend in the current 2024 X-Maxx as they have changed the internal gearing. I'm currently testing and good gear combo for the newest version X-Maxx. I also have an X-Maxx with a Castle MMX8S 1650kv combo in it, and it works awesome. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching. Cheers. 👍🇨🇦🤠

I think traxxas changed the gearing in the ultimate becuz of all the extra added weight from all the aluminum Would be cool to see the ultimate and regular 8s on a weight scale to see the difference
@markkumollari43Ай бұрын
I have a video comparing the 2. Aluminum doesn't add that much weight. The Ultimate doesn't come with new gears. Only the newly released belted has new gears.
@boduke9428Ай бұрын
Anyone else think Traxxas just recently realized that the Xmaxx and XRT were actually competitively priced with the 8s competition and threw some worse tires on along with gears it should have had from the beginning and jacked the price up another hundred bucks? I don't think those tires cost $100 more than the regular tires. I used to be Traxxas or nothing. I still have one Xmaxx and a TRX6. Since getting the Vigilante I'm finding fewer reasons to keep the final Xmaxx around.

Maybe I need to do the same recently when I tried to run my maxx. It would run fine then if I’d take a jump or go in reverse and back forward my forward would stop and sounded like grinding pinion . Id pull on the motor up a little and put a small shim under the plate that holds the pin system . I plugged the battery back in it worked smoother for a while took a jump same issue . Repeat and put another shim same thing . I’ll try and buy this motor mount see if it works I ended up just running my sledge and erevo because of the 3min interval adjustments that was driving me nuts lol

Hello, and thanks for watching. I run the 1600kv VXL 6S motor in 3 of my X-Maxxs all on 8S.. As far as how long it will last, keep the maintenance up, change motor bearings and a motor can last a long time. Try not to overheat them. I run 20/50 for gears. My climate is on the cooler side, but I still keep a temp gun with me at all times. Very fun. Cheers.

But both seem to be damaged. The motor is running very ruogh and the esc is strangely cricling after shut off. It just stop, when i unplug one battery. I never heard an esc cricling after shut off before. Is that thing coocked, as im suspecting, or just a xmaxx esc thing? Thx
@markkumollari432 ай бұрын
Hello again, and it's not a bother at all. Probably need to change the bearings in the motor, I have a video on that, and I am not sure I understand the ESC problem. Typically, they either flash all red lights, don't turn on, or go up in smoke. After updating the power button no longer works to turn it off. Traxxas did this because people were leaving batteries plugged in and killing them, and they would have to warranty them. Hope this helps. If not, don't hesitate to ask. Cheers buddy.
