First problems with Traxxas Maxx Slash 4x4 6s and fix

[@jagergerg9771]

My first problem is the price.

[@RevelationRC]

I must agree 👍 it's way overpriced. But it's a fun truck. I'm loving it so far. Thanks for watching 👍

[@TacticalJackalope]

It will come down. It's just a reskinned Maxx with belted tires and the Maxx sells for $569. They always release stuff higher for the early adopters. I suspect in 9-12 months it will settle around $599-649.

[@RevelationRC]

@TacticalJackalope that's what I was thinking

[@jackengel3958]

Mate, just cable-tie the joiner plug to the centre brace on the chassis; It'll stop it from flapping about, as well as dragging on the ground. That's with I did with mine.😉

[@RevelationRC]

I haven't had a problem since I moved them. I should zip it down to keep it from bouncing around. How are you liking yours? I put some maxx v1 tires on it , I'm loving it on out track.

[@jackengel3958]

@@RevelationRC yeah, I love it. Was a bit dubious after watching KZbinr reviews. And at $1299AUS was a sizeable investment, but the RC is awesome. I have the red Maxx Slash, which looks tough as

[@RevelationRC]

@@jackengel3958 i paid $650 us for mine. I got a fresh HD body that I painted red.

[@jackengel3958]

@@RevelationRC are there any servos, other than the Traxxas ones, which will fit in the Maxx Slash? The stock one is pretty slow, so I want to upgrade.

[@RevelationRC]

@jackengel3958 I'm sure they make one, but I never swapped one out. I have too many rc's and not enough money to upgrade them all. lol, I believe it's the same size servo as xmaxx and widemaxx

[@RcBlazer-Racer]

Yeah, for this it might be a bit overpriced, getting the Traxxas XRT, excited to get it! I stay updated on videos, You’re my favorite KZbinr!

[@RevelationRC]

Your gonna love that xrt... its an awesome truck. The speed gearing is crazy. Thanks for your support.

[@RcBlazer-Racer]

@@RevelationRC yeah, super excited, should I do blue or green?

Your videos are always great. Nice!!!

[@RevelationRC]

Thanks brother 👍

[@butchslater9200]

This happened to me after about 5 runs. Completely destroyed pinion and spur. Now my issue is motor mount screws just spin so moto never gets tight and moves around cause more damaged spur and pinion. I have had this RC for about 1month and it's been issue after issue

[@RevelationRC]

Oh man! That's pretty 💩 I'm glad I didn't ruin anything. Did you contact traxxas? They might help you out. I'm having fun with mine, but it needs better tires .

[@White_Ghost30z]

So I just got this car it’s my first rc car and was driving it around and it stopped out of nowhere, I went to look at it and i give it gas it doesn’t go anywhere just revs out I’m guessing the gears are the issue idk I’m new to this

[@RevelationRC]

@@White_Ghost30z your pinion probably came off the motor.

[@zachnorsworthy8929]

After maybe 6-7 runs i started hearing a click and after reading everything down found a motor bearing on its way out causing the magnet to have a little play

[@RevelationRC]

That's good to know... I will keep an eye on it. Thanks for the heads up

[@f.noggle]

I had this happen on my X-Maxx. Easy fix, though.

[@RevelationRC]

I'm just lucky that it didn't damage anything. Thanks for watching 👍

[@jeremybolick5951]

Your lucky. The grub screw came out and destroyed the pinion gear and siezed it to the motor shaft. Wound up replacing the motor as well.

[@RevelationRC]

Oh man! I did get lucky. I had no idea this was going on.

[@jeremybolick5951]

@@RevelationRC I don’t know about anybody else, but I do know that when I tried to remove the busted up gear mine it did not want to come off the motor shaft and by the time I worked on it enough to get it off the shaft in the motor have moved and done damage the motor and I had to replace it that was $150 mistake on my part.

[@RevelationRC]

@jeremybolick5951 there was a lot of crap on that set screw. If traxxas did it right the first time you would have never had a problem .

[@scaleworksRC]

Nice one! I'm not a Trx. fan, but it's nice to see what the issues are out there. They all have them. (kinda like us!)😁 ✝

[@RevelationRC]

We all have our flaws for sure. I like all rc's... when I saw this one I had to have it. Thanks for watching 👍
