Guys, have anyone ever count how much does both cars cost if you will not but the RTRs, but just buy the parts which You want and assemble them from the scrach? I am thinking about it as it is hard to sell original parts like TRX ESC or Arrma radio and take some sense money. So maybe instead wasting money for the RTR where a lot of parts must be replaced, it will be better to buy parts which are needed and have sth like "kit-version" with already upgraded parts? :D
@LargeeeScaleLife4 жыл бұрын
Daniel noname I have never done the math on that but I have always thought if you were going to get one of these vehicles and then highly modify it you would be better off to just start with a chassis and build it up from there I know you can Bobby chassis the bowl kids and a lot of the parts for the xmaxx Probably for a couple of hundred bucks not being any electronics or wheels and tires but you could probably get a roller going for like 300 bucks

My pinion and spur have lasted the first 2 packs so I think it's prolly more about how you are punching it off the line. Mine is brand new, swapped out to Max 5 ESC before I eeven ran it, no problem with spur and pinion. BUT I am on punch level 3 and not really popping on it hard at the start. Also we have the same charger, hyperion. What PSU are you using? I am using a 12v 750 watt but kinda wondering about the 24v upgrade.

I am not a Traxxas fan boy at all actually I hate a Traxxas vehicles but the xmaxx is awesome,...Technically you don't have to buy anything for a new X-Maxx 8s, if the speed control does go bad within a month or six months then you can upgrade it at that point, the new tires are absolutely fine as long as you're not driving like an idiot and letting them round out like crazy, so far my pinion and spur have held up and I've had the truck for a month if they do break then I'll upgrade but none of this has to be done before you leave the hobby shop, some people have bad luck absolutely I believe that....but that goes with every ready to run car. The X-Maxx at least looks and drives like a monster truck The arrma would be awesome but it's not a monster truck it's just a big truggy which is why a lot of people aren't interested in it if they actually made a monster truck I'm sure they would do a wonderful job and probably sell a ton.

I was looking at different pinions in the lhs but thought I may run into what you did in the vid. I'm going to burr or slot the shaft and see how it goes.maybe even the arrma style spur grub with the pin going through. Been setting pinions and mesh for 20+ years, never any problems until this XMAXX. Outside of this and a few other issues which I've already knew about and sorted its an amazing rc. Traxxas needs to have Arrma do their gears, and Arrma needs to have Traxxas do their chassis design. Best bet to get both. The Arrma Xmaxx or Traxxas Kraton better yet the the Arrma XO-1:Limitless edition. Great video though very informative glad this popped up in my feed. Sub'd

I read the other day what i think sounds like a good idea for keeping the pinion on. Grind the end of the set screw that bottoms out on the motor shaft flat. Set screws usually have a little rounded end...i guess if you grind it flat it will give you a better bite on the motor shaft. Don’t know if it will help...but it sounded like a solid idea lol.
@grahamnumber71234 жыл бұрын
Better still would be metal weld or a well engineered pinion that has to be heated enough for thermal expansion to just get it over the shaft. Once cooled - solid fit from ALL sides and uniformly. Forgot to add, the bite is only better if the mating surfaces have 1) an increased surface area and 2) more friction from being tighter. Problem is that's more stress on the 1 small area (the grub crew and threaded section of the pinion) For 2) the only method is to tighten more, but for 1 and 2 without being able to re-engineer the pinion, your method is a good idea. By flattening the head (male) into a point of the shaft you make the same shape (a flattened section - female) you increase the contact area of screw and shaft and friction. Your (lol) idea is science and it will help a lot :-) go for it. Because you think, it is a good idea you where capable of coming up with by yourself before you read about it. Just take care not to narrow the shaft by over doing it, you want the minimal material away but flat on flat. Do the start work with a Dremel (I don't have one) for speed but finish with a fine file. The Dremel is a rotary tool and you want as flatter surface as possible and that's why a file is better once you find a way to lock the shaft from spinning! while you work on it. A Dremel is probably the best option when working at 90 degrees to the shaft but you still want to keep it from moving so maybe get the cog on just enough to use the screw to tighten it onto the top of the shaft. Also bear in mind this very fast little cog isn't doing the torque work, it's doing the effort work by number of cycles....later stages of the drive train have the torque issues. My answer was over detailed I guess but sometimes you have to trust logic and not other people. It takes confidence to do stunts and tricks with a large mass that is potential energy moving at a great speed that could actually kill you, so have some faith in tinkering your toys to make them better :-) Engineering and science.

@Vaterraman3 жыл бұрын
For the pinion issue, degrease everything, motor shaft, pinion and set screw. Use something called Loctite bearing retainer on the round side of the shaft, where the set screw isn't, and then slide the pinion on, and use regular loctite for the set screw. The bearing retainer is gap filling, and will secure a bearing (or a pinion) to a shaft without anything else holding it on. I used it on a TRex 250 helicopter for the tail shaft bearings, as well as the pinion for the motor of that same heli. The pinion in that heli had no set screw, not flat side. The bearing retainer was the only thing securing the pinion

Hey awesome video brother- thank you for the non biased opinion and also I can tell you're great appreciation for both trucks. I have had my X-Maxx for 6 months and have thoroughly enjoyed it I just recently bought a kraton 8s and looking forward to enjoying it as well. I think I'll be pleased having both trucks!

Did you really mean 20 million center diff fluid in the Kraton center diff? I thought 1 million was the thickest you could get. Where do you find 20 million weight?
@JasonPerrinRCVlogs3 жыл бұрын
Yes, 20 Million. Traxxas and a few other companies make it. The X-maxx has 20 million in their center diff.

Also helps if you drill a notch in motor shaft to lock in the pinion set screw

I got an X-maxx last year and love that thing. I haven't had any issues with the pinion or spur other that the pinion coming loose a couple of times. I put some lock tight on there and that seemed to fix the issue. I run all the electronics stock and haven't had any major issues. The ESC overheated a couple times, but after I beat the heck out of that truck. I am not easy on that truck. Broke the body the first time out after I jumped it 30+ feet. The thing is built like a tank and I have no complaints as of yet. I may get the Max 6 ESC at some point, but I definitely don't recommend getting anything until the stock components break. It really is a complete waste of money. Also, get the unbreakable body and Proline Badland tires. You will not be disappointed.

Sadly no it won’t. Not because it won’t be a better truck. But because people won’t buy it.
@SebastianLong4 жыл бұрын
Cen Reeper? What's that? Just kidding, but might as well be the case when you compare X-Maxx to it. Same can be said if you compare the Kraton 8s to the Cen. I never even seen a Cen Reeper in person.

Would you be able.to.advise what size bolt.or.nut is used for decorative effect on each wheel ( the ones around the main hub )? I've ordered some Raptors and I was thinking of swapping the little nuts or bolts for red aluminium ones for effect !

What about everyone who bent the chassis on the Kraton at launch... I own Traxxas & Arrma vehicles so I'm no hater. I just don't like the idea that you spend $899 on an K8S then you wonder if you should buy an aftermarket chassis just to be safe. Sure hope the upgrades fixed that problem.

Now I have had success with both red and blue loctite depending on what it was being applied to. In his case I have had no issue with blue loctite but it didn't work for him.
