[@NS5_USR]

@@Ispeakthetruth535 because it makes the performance better to mod?

[@fckjoebdn1776]

You can mod anything to out perform the other. Your comparing a 8s e-revo which isn't how it comes, to a 4s maxx. Why not compare them both stock or both with the same mods? There are a bunch of options because different people like different things.

[@GiulianoMazzina]

I bought a Maxx a couple weeks ago after watching many videos. Yes, the Wide kit is NEEDED. It turns so much better. If you want to have the Maxx not wheelie so much at speed, adjust the spring tension on the shocks. I can have it flat out and not lift the front wheels off on grass too. Adjust the spring tensioner on the shock to shorten the distance of travel about 1/8 of an inch at a time (2-3mm). I think I'm about 8-9mm less and it doesn't want to wheelie so easily. If you do a lot of jumps though, don't remove spring travel distance.

[@marlonread556]

Is the wide kit only available thru traxxas? Or does RPM have a kit?

[@DanHovarter]

Don't need wide kit if you are on dirt

[@marryalen6286]

what are best batteries for widemaxx ? Is it 6700 traxxas or compatible team orion ?

[@GiulianoMazzina]

@@marryalen6286 6700s technically don't fit but I modded my battery tray to make it longer and I use velcro straps going through plastic to hold the battery in there. The 5000 battery is the largest battery for the MAXX and fits with no modifications.

Couldn't decide, so I got both an X-MAXX and a REVO 2.0 🤷‍♀️

[@kdog2816]

Lucky! I got rustler and slash

[@excaliburgarage]

But that’s a Maxx and you have a X-Maxx. Two different cars completely

[@Critical-Defense]

I did the same basically. Bought a Hoss 3S and broke several parts replacing them with upgraded parts until I broke something I had to wait for a few days into owning it. Went to the Hobby store and came home with the X-MAXX and Dual Live 28 charger with 2 4S batteries totaling $1500. Destroyed the X-MAXX plastic servo within 2 hours of owning it. Couldn’t get an immediate replacement plastic one nor could I get any upgraded servo in town. So I ordered a ProModeler 930 kit with 2S LiPo battery and horn, now waiting for the stupid mounting bracket for it, so I ordered a 1 day shipping plastic gear servo to get it back in service. First day out with the replacement servo in the X-MAXX and I broke a rear shock mount. Purchased the upgraded aluminum shock mounts but having to wait a week to get them delivered. So I went and purchased 2 x E-REVO 6S (one for my dad) Broke the plastic gear in the motor second day owning it, purchased metal gear. Nothing else broken on the E-REVO yet but I went ahead and ordered 2 x 400 High Torque servos for my E-REVO and then bought a Savox or however you spell it high torque servo for $70 open box MSRP at $150. Got the HOSS back running with all upgraded parts in suspension and body mounting. Waiting on X-MAXX shock mounts and servo adapter. And E-REVO is about to have all of its upgrades installed tonight.

[@coltonlynn2825]

What one is more durable

[@Barberev]

Which one do you like better?

[@innovativerc7155]

Awesome comparison!! To allow the Maxx to not roll over and jump & land nicely you could put really heavy weight shock oil in the shocks, such as 70 or 80 weight. This will make the suspension stiffer, which will reduce body roll and it should make the Maxx land better. Hope this helps with the handling of the Maxx. Keep it up!! 👍👊😉

[@cameroneshleman4833]

I'm assuming you have a Maxx. Do you think 80 weight would bend the shock shafts, or cause other parts to break? Thanks

[@innovativerc7155]

@@cameroneshleman4833 I don't actually have a Maxx but I think 70 or 80 weight would not bend the shock shafts as the shocks are very large and strong. 👍

[@JacesOwnWorld]

@@skyshade9106 I don’t own either, but I have watched a lot of video reviews and read a ton of stuff about them both. From what I’ve gathered, he Kraton 6S is slower, but it is built better. The problem though is many people have broken a lot of things on the Kraton 6S despite it having metal driveshafts and such, compared to nobody ever having to replace things on the Maxx despite its plastic components. People love how indestructible the Maxx is, but they live the steering and ergonomics of the Kraton 6S better. Really just depends on what you want out of the car. For me, I would like the Kraton 6S for its agility. Apparently the Maxx rolls over way too much on pavement and dirt, which would be super annoying. I’ll take agility over durability, hence why I even choose to buy European cars over Japanese...

[@dnr7770]

@@JacesOwnWorld people think metal part are better..in some cases only as they expose less durable plastic parts to break that might not normally. Whats needed is a more durable plastic made from longer chain molecule plastics which flex and not break as they're not as brittle.. the caveat is it's more expensive and will stretch in areas ie shock ends and steering arm end holes. Partly why this hobby is so expensive

Hi, I just bought now the E-Revo 2.0 and after first ride, amazing, no issues, super control and handling.

[@johnwindsor9069]

I had both trucks at the same time, didn't like the Maxx at first. But after the wide conversion and metal drive shafts, it made the Maxx into a whole different beast. Ultimately, sold my erevo 2.0 since the Maxx fit my needs better, but the 2.0 is still one heck of a truck.

[@troywilson1071]

Agreed, me too

[@ScubaJelly]

I ordered my E-Revo 2.0 and i'm getting tomorrow and it was such a hard decision to choose over the Maxx. The Maxx is more durable , but you can only do so much with it. The E-Revo 2.0 has the potential to be the best at everything. You can't change the gearing on the Maxx to hit 70 mph like the E-Revo 2.0 can. You can mod the E-Revo 2.0 to the point its bullet proof, and once you get to that point I think the E-Revo 2.0 becomes the best r/c you can get. And isn't the point of owning an r/c is to mod/repair it. I feel like it's just one and done with the Maxx, where the E-Revo 2.0 you get the full experience of owning an r/c.

[@mikeeyg1977]

[@bgdahustler8003]

Man....I got both recently....The Maxx can take a beating....The E revo can 2...all I had to do was swap out the push rods....part number 8619 was a game changer

[@KTMcaptain]

Joshua yup, the erevo can be lifted or further lowered, it has tons of suspension travel and ridiculously endless adjustments, it only has a few weak points in the servos and rear droop travel, and has superior electronics. . What makes the erevo so fun is hucking it into a power slide at 30mph and just watching huge plumes of dirt rise out of the ground as it drifts for 100 feet.

[@craiglamb9029]

A few things on the ERevo . I Got my EREVO 2.0 this year in April. Traxxas has made a few updates. Push rod ends are twice as long as the old ones. Push rods are a dark metallic grey color and are slightly thicker and the threaded end is threads at least twice the distance into the beefier rod ends. Tie Rods - I also believe the tie rods have gotten the same treatment as the push rods. They are still chrome. Don't quote me on the tie rods tho. Motor Leads - there is a zip tie securing the motor Leads to the rear chassis brace to prevent them from flopping around and breaking the wire like yours did. I highly recommend securing your motor Leads to prevent them from flopping around and fatiguing, then failing again. Great videos and reviews. 👍🏾

[@outsourcedrc]

Thanks. The tie rods are the same. Thanks for reminding me about that zip tie. I always mean to put it on there and I forget.

I don’t have a revo 2.0 but I do have a maxx and it takes a beating! We’ve spent nearly $400 on upgraded parts for a rustler 4x4 vxl and zero on the maxx in a month and the maxx has had more devastating wrecks without breaking. We recently upgraded to the proline badlands 3.8’s on the maxx and for our driving, it was a huge upgrade. We haven’t put on the widemaxx kit yet but that’s because the upgraded driveshafts have been on back order. I didn’t want to spin my plastic shafts before the new ones were available.

I just got a Bandit after being out of the hobby for nearly 10 years! Feels like a small Walmart rc car. I want a giant one now

[@SebastianLong]

Lol. Never stops at just one. I've got 11. Crawlers, monster trucks, buggies, trophy trucks, boats, and planes. The Bandit I've wanted to get for some time. Looks like a fun RC and it's very simple, but I always end up getting something else. You want something bigger, like 1/6 scale? 1/8 - 1/6 scale is the best of them. Durable, plenty of power, and if you give it more power, it will hold up. There are a lot of good brands out there right now, but I would suggest anything from Traxxas, brands from the Horizon Hobbies website (Losi, Arrma, Axial, etc) or a few other big names like HPI. If you are going to get one, expect to pay right around $600. I wouldn't suggest buying cheap as once they start breaking, it becomes continuous. Not to mention the big name products handle upgrades a LOT better. Good luck!

[@gasolinediesel972]

The brushed one does, not the brushless one though.

[@s.h.1095]

I love your videos dude. You seem like such a great guy to be around 👊

[@yoyoboy0617]

Can u do a e revo v1 vs v2 video comparison review proformance vid etc

[@outsourcedrc]

I don't know. The 2.0 has been out for so long that I don't know if its really necessary.

[@outsourcedrc]

The 2.0 is better in pretty much every way, but the V1 handles a bit better because its 3lbs lighter. I wouldnt get a V1 over a 2.0

[@yoyoboy0617]

Outsourced RC I was just just wondering because no one else is done it. I’m wondering if it’s worth it to put the 2.0 upgrades on the 1.0 they I already have

[@outsourcedrc]

@yfz450rx yeah the Diffs are super weak in the E Revo V1

[@themastercarpenter]

no review needed; I had a revo v1 and it was an enormous design mistake by Traxxas. Horrible amount of breakage, super poor design, just stay far away from them. Honestly Traxxas should buy them back from anyone- thats how bad they are. I bought a 2.0 and it does decent with reliability but I still fix more than I 'd like to.

[@andyvannort2743]

Just bought the erevo 2.0 and xmaxx this week

[@myrclife]

Hey I just wanted to let you know that the E-Revo 2.0 DOES NOT HAVE A SLIPPER CLUTCH 😮😮😮. The 1st gen E-Revo has the slipper clutch but the 2nd gen has a center diff 😉. Both E-Revo versions have the same "Look" in the transmission area but they are definitely different. Just a helpful piece of info from one RC/youtuber to the next👍. Keep up the good work!🤙💯

[@outsourcedrc]

I never said it did. I said it has a cush drive. I just rewatched the video to make sure thats what I said.

[@705on8]

I have issues with front bulk head on maxx broke twice now

[@schunts09]

You need to do a trick tutorial on the mc twist thing you were doing with the maxx!

[@williamoleary9330]

Yea we’re enjoying the Hoss My son does want to bash and I’ll keep it under control because yea it’s fun to fix them also, but can be kind of expensive Plus to just have the time to fix them can be an issue sometimes between work and all the sports the kids are in...lol Thank you again for always answering your Subscribers and fans

[@TheLDunn1]

I’ve been researching RC cars, trying to decide what to buy for my sons first proper RC. I was going to get him one for his birthday in October, but decided against it. I’m now looking again and thinking about Xmas. I keep coming back to the maxx due to durability. I’ve watched a number of videos, and I’m not sure if this is typical, but it seems to me that on the videos where there is a maxx running with Arrma’s, quite often you see the Arrma owners doing running repairs while the Max’s are still running. Apart from my perception that the Maxx seems more robust, I’ve also seen a video comparing the costs of replacement parts, and often the Traxxas parts are significantly cheaper, which is another consideration. I’m just not sold on the out of the box handling of the Maxx from what I’ve seen, it looks very prone to rolling when turning, which just looks frustrating.

[@outsourcedrc]

Yeah the Maxx is tough. You can put the wide maxx kit on it and it will handle better. You will probably need the drive shaft upgrades also.

[@TheLDunn1]

@@outsourcedrc ...yes, I’ve watched your videos on how you transformed that handling with the wide kit.....the E-revo looks like it handles nicer, but the relative fragility with the corner assemblies worries me. I’ve not seen many videos where folk are running Arrma Typhon with the Maxx....they are maybe not natural bed fellows, so I don’t know if the Typhon would suffer the sorts of failures that I’ve seen other Arrma models suffer in Maxx videos.....but, I prefer the look of the handling of the Typhon I think. It’s so hard to make a decision when you don’t have any first hand experience, and don’t know what sort of use the car might end up seeing....track type vs jumps / tricks. My son is quite mechanically minded, so part of the reason to get him one is because I think he might enjoy the engineering side as much as the driving!

[@outsourcedrc]

@@TheLDunn1 Its kinda hard to buy an RC that you wont have fun with.

[@TheLDunn1]

@@outsourcedrc .....yeah, I agree....I’m really struggling to decide. I’ve now moved more toward the Arrma Kraton 6s v5. They seemed to have changed it a fair bit at the v5 addressing some of the weaknesses. The radio gear is different too, however, I’ve seen a video which seemed to suggest that the new radio gear suffered from some of the issues that the old radio gear had....ie cut outs at modest ranges, not sure about the delayed reaction of the old radio gear.....so, if I went down the Arrma route I’d factor in a new handset and receiver. Also watched another video about tuning the Maxx ....just tuning the stock suspension, different shock oils and different rear springs, but not going down the full wide arm route, and it seemed to significantly help.

[@mattylapags5951]

This deserves more likes and views

[@outsourcedrc]

Thanks!

[@DietPizza1]

If you aren’t jumping the E Revo, seems like you won’t break it much? The damage seems to be from these major air tricks and jumps. Just ordered an e Revo yesterday

[@based_will]

Yes however that is the most fun you can have bashing is flying it off a jump. We might as well be buying rc airplanes lol

[@ThomasDercole2230]

Would like to see the maxx with a taller pinion gear, since it has the low end torque already.

[@doubleaaaron]

I have the maxx and I really enjoy it. I've yet to run it on 4s and on 3s it has plenty. Only issue so far is the battery came out, but may have been due to doing quick stops and doing front flips.

[@rcmakingtracks18]

Awesome video, very helpful information, but still a difficult choice. I'd also like both... ha. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great entertainment.

[@GiulianoMazzina]

I bought a Maxx two weeks ago and 100% am happy with the choice. The wide kit for the Maxx is a must. You can also adjust the sprint rate and it really helps to reduce the wheelies.

[@justinreid8851]

Changing your battery to the 6700 and maybe 40w shock oil would help for some extra punch you think?

[@outsourcedrc]

On what, the Maxx? This is the V1. I can't fit a 6700 in it and I'm not changing the chassis to the new one.

[@garynapoli3042]

What gears were you running in this video at the time on the max

[@outsourcedrc]

Its the stock gears in both

[@johnmalone8790]

Best video I've watched in a while........ Love my new e revo 👍

[@outsourcedrc]

Thanks!

[@kevinsinger7941]

Biased and one sided the Maxx is better all the way with just a few small adjustments and mods.

[@KTMcaptain]

It’s weird considering the erevo is only 1.5lbs heavier yet has a way larger motor.

[@jaybomb5022]

The E-revo 2.0 is MUCH more than new wheels mate. You should look ALOT closer, upgraded power system, tougher driveshaft and differentials, beefier suspension, and a clip less body!! I've upgraded both models to their perspective limits and they are quite different beasts. The correct size and discharge batteries also works wonders lol.

[@based_will]

Damn, I havent had any of those suspension issues on my v1 Revo. I guess the few pounds makes a big difference! The diffs and driveshafts however...

[@outsourcedrc]

Exactly.

[@based_will]

@@outsourcedrc I'm debating whether I wanna do Summit driveshafts all the way around and hot racing aluminum diffs or just sell it and get a 2.0 or a Kraton 6s. Ive had it for years but now I'm into jumping it at the BMX track and it just doesn't hold up.
