Traxxas does offer a complete slipper clutch assembly but at the time of filming this video there were none available

You will need to replace the ring and pinion with TRA6779(xl-5 ring and pinion non VXL) (47t ring and 12t pinion)as the VXL diffs are a different ring and pinion tooth count. We did another video on a full walk through on building a complete diff and all of the parts needed as well.

Thanks for the sub and the comment! We hope you enjoy your new Jato 4x4 BL-2S!!

Sadly the VXL also comes with the slipper clutch out of the box but both models can you the optional center diff

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! The stock flex shaft size is 4.7mm which is slightly smaller than 3/16 (4.763mm) but they do offer a new HD part as well - TRA10329 which is now supposed to be 5mm! From the tip of the hull to the rudder is 40.80" but the hull itself is right around 36" long

@ultrarchobbies thanks a lot fot your help !!

@@eduardonessim4499 You are very welcome!

Thank you for tuning in and leaving a comment! We haven't seen to many people try the steel Spartan SR prop (TRA5733R), as both come with the same TRA5733 plastic prop installed. on the Disruptor yet but currently Traxxas is not recommending people to put them on as there could be to much deflection with the plastic rudder mount causing the prop to hit the rudder.

@ultrarchobbies ok. Thanks a lot for your advice !

Thank you for watching and leaving a comment! We agree 100% it is a completely different driving experience with the Raptor R vs the Standard Slash 4x4

Thanks for the comment, yes the BL-2S will have forward, reverse and brakes if that is the mode you have your ESC set in. If you don’t have reverse we would recommend to re program the end points on the esc and ensure the esc is not in race mode as that mode will lock out the reverse

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, the hexes JP used were Traxxas 6856X from the 4x4 platform

Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment! Glad we could help!

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. This is right from JP "The manual shows the front diff using grease and the back diff using 30k.. I just followed the user manual as a starting point.. I will definitely tune things with different oils as i use the truck more.."

With the Tq transmitter sadly you can only bind one receiver to the transmitter. With the Tqi transmitter you can bind multiple receivers to the transmitter and it will remember the model

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. The part number on the wheels and tires for the Jato are - TRA9073

It is a great platform starting with the Hoss / Stampede 2.0 chassis plus having the EHD kit only makes it more robust and durable!

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! The best thing we have found for any of the short course trucks is the Dusty Motors dust covers. It will still allow the electronics to breathe as the dust cover is mesh but it will keep the vast majority of things out of the chassis for easy cleanup. They will also put a zipper down the center of the dust cover to make battery changes quick and easy, so you do not have to undo the velcro down the side of the chassis. Here is a link to their website - www.dustymotors.com/shop-page/traxxas-raptor-r-protection-cover-preorder/

@ultrarchobbies thanks for the advice, wish I knew about them before I drove it round a wet cold muddy park in the middle of British winter. Lol I'd been Google searching for inner fenders like installed on my Carisma sca-1e Range Rover, so found nothing with that search. Cheers and happy new year.

Unfortunately the Rustler 4x4 will be the shortest center shaft available as of right now until the correct one for the truck gets released by Traxxas to fit the center diff or slipper clutch. Both the center diff and slipper clutch will require the same shorter center driveshaft shaft.

@ on the Traxxas website under the center diff it says use either 10757 or 10762 which are the standered size plastic and metal drive shafts. So it’s a little confusing?

@@WM84629 There are 2 parts required if you do not do the diff mod we talk about in this video, we did not have to use TRA10762 as the pinion from the XL-5 diffs allows us to use the double flat spotted shaft from the slipper clutch or center diff. The parts Traxxas needs you to upgrade to go to either the slipper clutch or center diff are the following - TRA10757 - plastic center driveshaft or TRA10757X - metal center driveshaft TRA10762 - rear pinion that allows the normal style double flat spotted shaft from the slipper or the center diff which the Mini Maxx doesn't use with the out of the box direct drive setup

You are very welcome, glad we could help out and get peoples trucks back up and running!

Thanks for leaving a comment! They did an awesome job replicating the body especially with the extra sponsor side plates! We can’t agree more, 4x4 for the win!

I have a slash ultimate. Took the rear differential from it. Installed in my mini maxx rear. But was getting binding and grinding. Are these diffs different from yours ?

@Superiorcarpetdenver they should be the same as the Rustler. But you have to use the front and the rear. You can't use just the rear.

Yes we have to reuse the front pinion that comes on the stock truck as unfortunately nothing in the Traxxas lineup will use that style pinion or driveshaft setup

Thanks you checking out the video and leaving a comment! Heck yeah a fellow Canuck! 🇨🇦

🎉 happy rcing from MICHIGAN 🤘🏽🏁

The manual shows the front diff using grease and the back diff using 30k.. I just followed the user manual as a starting point.. I will definitely tune things with different oils as i use the truck more..

This is the Traxxas Rustler 4x4 wing - 6721

With the overall dimension of the 40t spur being bigger than the 47t stock spur we felt it would rub the chassis and possibly cause other issues

@ thanks for the reply for future reference where did you get those dimensions from please s I couldn’t find them anywhere thanks

These dimensions wont be on the product pages or website.. We took a digital caliper and physically measured the outside diameter of a 54 tooth, 52 tooth, 50 tooth 32 pitch spur and found that all of these measured too big to fit in the chassis.. using the stock mini maxx 47 tooth spur was our benchmark to compare the maximum size that we could dimensionally fit in the chassis.. So our only other option was to look at mod 1 gearing from the revo. We measured the 40 tooth mod 1 revo gears and found that it was also too big and worked our way down till the 38 tooth mod 1 spur and that had a small enough dimensional measurement to fit in the chassis without rubbing.. We then sized a 16 tooth pinion that would get us pretty much in the same ballpark as the stock 20/47 gear ratio and the results are as you see them on the video.. Enjoy!!!

@@brokenbirf lol can I just have the dimensions of the stock spur please I’m not going to use the stock diffs nor the sane ratios as stock in the diffs hence why I’m asking for the actual measurements in mm if you can would be helpful

@@grumpygrandpa3640stock ratio is about 2.3 and that’s 20 t Pinion and 47 t spur 38 spur and 16 t pinion ratio is 2.4 which is actually better

Kev is Cool n All but Kev a jackAss who DGaF He Destroys Everything on purpose lol 😂😅 Tumble wumble

We thought the same thing as well as on most sites they say bevel gear, but at one time on the Traxxas website it mentioned in the description that it still uses the planetary gears inside. It however looks like they have changed that description so it may have changed (fingers crossed it did), but we haven't received any parts here in Canada yet so we cannot confirm or deny the change.

@ I have picture proof on a fb post that they are bevel gear diffs. Someone opened a new set to see. That part number is an upgrade part.

£280 hear that includes VAT 🇬🇧

Thanks for the comment! Yes the new Rustler w/ the EHD kit also includes hex hardware!

@@ultrarchobbiessweet thanks

We have been using the MT-Mcross belted 3.8 tires from Louise RC

Thanks for watching. Yeah 100% agree but at least we have hopefully found a great way to solve some of the issues and make a large upgrade at the same time and keep people having fun with their new mini maxx

Super glad JP was able to get this updated and the goal was to help everyone who bought the new Mini Maxx that maybe having issues!!

No problem at all. I actually enjoyed doing this and i hope everyone can benefit from this video.. I appreciate the kind words.. enjoy the truck!!

@@brokenbirfFirst off, I want to say thank you for sharing your knowledge/expertise in this area. I just bought my daughter and I each our own Mini Maxx and I discovered this issue after my order was processed. It’s been a long time since I was in the hobby (my last truck was the T-Maxx TRX 2.5 which I still own). What is the purpose/ benefits of the slipper clutch in this setup? I genuinely am unaware. Is it necessary or will the diff front addition and rear swap be close to the same? Thank you from Michigan!

That is awesome to hear that you had also thought of this as well!! Our main goal with this series is to give back to the community that supports us and ensure that they can have fun with the new Mini Maxx after it may have broken and stock parts seem to be an issue and hopefully solve it once and for all.
