Try running a set of belted proline tires see how much power you can put down. Great video though fellas.

[@Nickwillfixit]

Trouble with the belted tyre's is their weight, it takes more power to turn these so even if they do not baloon as much as the stock one's the weight will hold it back as they are considerally heavier.

[@DJayFreeDoo]

@@Nickwillfixit the electronics will handle that weight just fine. But the driveline however... perhaps the erevo 2.0 tires would be better for it. should be similar to the rustler 4x4 vxl tires no? i had very little ballooning on those rustler tires.

[@lowridr2]

Nick Ing dazed & confused you want heavy wheels with that much power keeps the center gravity low and planted and allows for full traction at max throttle

[@xXxREDEEMEDxXx-yc9ne]

Can it take 8s power ?

[@joseCalderon1976]

@@xXxREDEEMEDxXx-yc9ne I wouldn't try that. It's insane on 6s and I barely do that. Actually I got a max 8 esc on my maxx 4s and just run 4s on it. It does standing backflips on 4s with Kaiju tires. That's enough for me. Honestly, even with the 8s Traxxas esc, the punch is not there. That's why I prefer the hobbywing esc on my Traxxas rigs.

[@vicecity7474]

My neighbors son drove my 6s maxx for about 45min. He broke: motor mounts, steering rack mounts, cracked front and rear differential and got sand in them, and cracked front chassis. That thing has a lot of power. I stripped it down, rebuilt and was thrashing it again two days later. I love my maxx almost as much as I love my xmaxx

[@hyflyin1]

When there is this much power, that wheelie bar needs to be longer and stronger to keep it from flipping. The stampede sticks our much farther and gives better control. Nice video MAN !~!!

Nice to see it readily accepts a Castle system, because I’m considering buying a MAXX pre-roller so I can utilize something similar. The drawback is not being able to use Traxxas’s proprietary LED light system. 😖 Maybe not a deal breaker, but their integrated light system looks good.

That's what my Arrma Granite mega v3 done when I put a surpass hobby 4276 2200kv on a hobbywing Quicrun 10BL120 3s esc on a 19T pinion. It would do between 40 n 50 and if I floored it at those speeds it would wheelie n flip. Lol so I ordered the Long wheel base and turning it into the Kraton. I got the arms cvds rods ect basically every thing. And I'm using a diff body though. I got the Kraton 4s shells I got 5 of em diff ones some old n new from my other kraton 4s and my 6s kraton body also fits. I got the proline 2.8 Interco Super Swampers from proline on it as well.

@@99thpeanut59 how does the stock traxxas maxx motor match up against castle engine?

[@evhexrc1765]

Some tips for y’all trying to make this Maxx go faster in a straight line without instant death of itself: We all know that Traxxas cars don’t have great tuning options, but if you can change the suspension setup, you can change it to fight against wheelies. (Different shock oils, springs, maybe pistons, what holes the shocks go on, etc.) A stiffer shock setup with lower ride height is what you should stride for. If you can put spacers on the shock shafts inside the shock bodies(under the pistons), do that. Increasing droop up front will allow the a-arms to travel downward a bit more so the tires will be in contact with the ground longer if/when the truck attempts to lift the front. Since the truck is a 4x4, you can move whatever existing weight on the chassis farther forward to help push down the front. Lower the center of gravity as much as you can. (Mount the esc lower, remove the extra abs plastic from the body, etc.) If you can mount the battery forward or rearward, mount it forward. If you can increase anti-squat, then do that. More outward toe up front (\ _ /) will make the truck pull straighter. Harder inserts in the tires will reduce ballooning. If you don’t want to unglue the tires to put in harder inserts, you can tape over the vent holes in the wheels and CA glue over the vent holes in the tires to fight against ballooning. Mounting a rear wing from a 1/8 or 1/10 scale buggy up front, and down low can help provide downforce up front to keep the front tires down. Like you said, a longer, wider, stiffer wheelie bar will help, too. Try that after you’ve tried all this. There are more things you can do to improve the setup for what you’re doing, but you can find info on that all over the place. If the truck’s tires are spinning or losing traction, you can put tire sauce on them. Keep applying it between passes; burn it in. Remember, these changes are to help the truck keep the nose down and go straight while going fast. This is not recommended for anything else. Car setup is different for each and every different situation. Hope this helps! -Ev

[@jamesstubbs8954]

It's a 4x4 meant for off-roading why would you lower it to the ground....LMFAO that's like buying an E Revo 2.0 and trying to turn it into an indy car. Just use it as it was meant to be used and you won't have problems.

[@johnhowell4589]

Hahaha, love the humor! I'm rebuilding my Maxx now and definitely going to go 6s. Great video!

[@TheDeLeonGarageCollection]

I was hit with the speed bug with my first Tmaxx by putting a .21 OS in there back in the day. The fun was short lived though as I started destroying the truck with all that crazy extra power. My slash on 3 is fun for a minute but I think if I want real speed, I'll build a drag car. These big trucks don't take kindly to high speed endos and neither does the wallet. I keep mine on the dirt now with speed I can control.

The curb didn't cause the break. The first hard landing on that tire is what caused the damage. (when it landed upside down on the right front tire, you can clearly see the castor block fly off and the tire flop around afterward before the curb)

The wings not a bad idea; would that really help keep down the front? The surfer is cool, right? It is R/C ;) We are just waiting a trip to water. -Brett

[@jcchaconjr]

I don’t see why not? Of course, I would try one of the wider front wings, placed a little toward the front of the nose to get that angle, and use at least 2 strips of double-sided tape to make sure the high speed doesn’t just rip it off. I wouldn’t consider actually bolting it to the body, unless it’s a “last resort” thing. I’d hate to put holes in the body just for that. Gotta keep that body down - once it lefts, you’re just suffering from that “parachute effect” that SCT’s are known for. You know, as much as I love cars, I’m really looking forward to that Surfer video, if you guys decide to do one! 👍🏼

[@kcmullins6179]

You should do the wide max conversion on this mini max lol. And add aluminum chassis brace , and aluminum Casters , aluminum steering hubs. And add some aluminum shock guards. Make it stronger 💪 chassis wise. Even though it's a tough truck already box stock it's always a good idea to toughing up basher rigs. You could also add a stainless steel chassis skid plate that covers the entire bottom of the truck to protect it more. I actually got one on both my older Kraton 4s and Big rock v3 BLX. And I got aluminum a arms aluminum full suspension from integy on both. And ppl say aluminum isn't a good idea for basher A-Arms because it could break the chassis.. well with those stainless steel skid plates iv added to them has completely protected the chassis ect. I haven't broken anything major on my rigs because of it.. now my other ones that don't have that stainless steel skid plate I have broken em in half.. so I high recommend a full bottom stainless skid plate. I'm adding two of em to my two current projects
