Xmaxx Vitavon MOD 1.5 GEARS!!! 25/30!!!

[@shuster1921]

That thing sounds like a different truck!! Smooth and quiet, excellent upgrade!!

[@daysdesigns]

Better yet... check out the engineering behind the M2C motor mount and top brace, etc. It's amazing and stops that xmaxx flex in the chassis!

[@slarmond38]

Yeah that hair! I like that shaft support though

[@markchrist3438]

Hey joe I think you will be as pleased as I am with the BRUTE body for the Xmaxx, worth the money!!

[@Matt-zo2ju]

I installed this setup and I stripped clean that transmission gear

[@jakethole]

I wonder how this compares to the new M2C mount. Wonder if you could combine the rear m2c motor mount with this setup. Looks like that would be the ticket.

[@SolRayz]

It seems like a nice mount, but the m2c seems to have the advantage of adjusting your mesh from screws on the side of the mount.

[@brentbocchetti4666]

I have the m2c motor mount system and just ordered the vitavon 1.5 gears and the cover. I'll let you know how it works out when everything shows up

[@laylowreel1969]

@@brentbocchetti4666 any updates ?

[@brentbocchetti4666]

@@laylowreel1969 yeah! I actually just got them in yesterday, and had a few mins today to get the gears in at least. I already ran into an issue with that little support piece that goes on the end of the shaft. The motor mount extends above that slot where it goes a little bit. So it looks like I'll have to grind the motor mount a little bit just to get the gears in. Because of that I'm not sure if the motor mount will with without some grinding, but I'll definitely keep you guys posted! I'm hoping I'll have more time later today or tomorrow mess around with it.

[@brentbocchetti4666]

[@BigCheese85]

Good video. I removed the wheelie bar and never looked back.... I think you would benifit

[@joseCalderon1976]

Yeah 25/35 gearing is what the 1100kv motor should run. I think I tried running 25/30 on the HW Max 5 and 1100kv motor combo since that's the only spur gear that I had at that moment. My Max 5 hit thermal very quickly. So I went back to 25/35 gearing. Great video as usual. They should have added a support at the end of the motor TBH

[@ExocagedRC]

Yeah man. The Max5 and HW 1100 is a smaller system

[@RuisRcAdventures]

Now he's.running sweet as man. Great work Joe 👏👍

[@gadgetmantwincities]

I would love to hear your impressions on the new XMAXX wide arms!

[@gadgetmantwincities]

What I mean is are the standard arms better in any way. Did the wide arms change the way it flys, is the mod worth it etc.

[@ExocagedRC]

Better for turns, I haven’t noticed a whole lot of difference in the air.

[@dayadam16]

Do you loctite your gears? Ive always had an issue with keeping regular pinions on. Im currently running a d shaped bore but need to go up in gearing as 23/35 is to slow for me. I just ordered a 26t 1.5 cause it needs more wheel speed for more air control.

[@Niobium23]

Great advice bro! I ordered the hobby wing kit with the 1100kv, I’m gonna convert to 1.5 and try the 20/35 ratio, we will see!

[@DJ_SHANNIMAL]

Hi. Did you ever get this done? If so how is the heat? I have 1100kv hw max5 lots of m2c. Now if I just get a good ratio of speed, performance, and not burn 🔥 it all down. I’d appreciate your feedback. Thank you

[@solomongathings7724]

I got them gears laying here with a little stand for the extra weight that you can put in but with the m2c motor mount I couldn't get videovon gears to work

Can you review the new design of the Vitavon gear cover? Looks like it’s a two piece construction, where you can take off the top to modify it fix the pinion gear without taking apart the brace.

Right now I’m running the xlx2 with the 1100kv hobbywing. I got B&m gears 20/35. Wonder what I can gear it up to? I was thinking keeping my spur 35 and going 25 pinion. One thing about b&M is the gears aren’t too strong. I already broke a tooth on a spur gear and I now replaced with a WFO 35spur gear.

[@ExocagedRC]

Well Vitavon has 20/30 and these 25/30. For the smaller 1100kv the 20/30 would be good. I like these 25/30 though.

If I will be running a 800kv motor with 30/35 gearing and can’t use the gear cover (only fits over a 25t pinion) would the setup still function properly? I am a little confused why the gear cover is so necessary to hold it all together?

You will have to tear the steering down and find out what’s binding. It could be a screw too long and catching on something.

[@onefeather75]

Would the mod1.5 fit the stock motor?

[@SolRayz]

So wait, let me get this strait. Instead of attaching the spur gear to a D shaft held down with larger grubs, the Vitavon spur relies on those Traxxas metal pins that are weaker than mic ultra...hmm not gonna fly.

[@SolRayz]

I can't believe it, but actually destroyed a wfo 25t pinion over the weekend running a dirt course hard. My mesh was fine so that's not it. My theory is that heat and friction from continual usage such as running circles on dirt track hard over and over contributed to the break down. Most people are bashing and not running continual power. I'm now greasing the pinion and spur and running the larger cover to minimize the amount of dirt getting in there. Anyone else try greasing these gears to minimize heat and friction?

You know, the X-Maxx shouldn't need the upgrade to 1.5 mod as it SHOULD come with them in the first place. I've seen 1/10 scale RCs with 1.5 (can't recall what it was atm) and most 1/6 scale and up come with 1.5. I know my Losi's and Arrma do. I don't like how that gear is relying on a small drive pin. You'd think it would have some kind of spline system like the outdrive going into the diffs do. I've have way too many drive pins snap off in multiple RCs. One specific I can remember is the drive pin sheered of in my rear axle on the UDR. Couldn't extract it out of the axle and it took out the axle housing and the aluminum foh disk brake hex. Have them break on my Super Rock Rey axles a lot and I bought 100 extra for it.
