// 28/03/2023 // From France, Paris - Very Nice Video of the Traxxas XRT Unboxing !!!! I own the Traxxas X-Maxx in Rock'n Roll Version. Because of you, I'm going to have to buy this model now! Thank you !

[@asexypolarbear921]

"Looked like it got pushed in the nose" lol that great man😂

[@CommanderAstigRC]

Awesome! Congratulations on the New rig Bro. Looks awesome for sure. Looking forward to seeing you rip bro.

[@JasonPerrinRCVlogs]

Had it today for a quick rip and was impressed. All stock too. Tomorrow is 46t spur and SixPacks. :)

[@joseCalderon1976]

Nice! It will be a great addition to the RC collection. I'll end up with a roller one day since I don't use Traxxas electronics except the servo. Hehe. Yeah the lower weight is going to help in durability.

[@craiglamb9029]

I Had almost the exact same motor mount experience with the 1/10 Maxx. I actually made my own motor mount washers for the chassis. Gpm gear aluminum gear cover and motor mount, dab of loctite. Instantly stopped stripping nylon spur gears. I did keep the pins tho. I also bought the motor mount washers for my xrt right out the gate.

[@classicvwbugs]

Awesome bro. I walked into my hobby shop two weeks ago and saw this first hand. It looked beautiful, I was so tempted to plunk the 1k down and get it, but I needed to hear your thoughts first brotha! You are very straightforward dude. 👍

[@JasonPerrinRCVlogs]

I had it out today and was very impressed. All stock too. Bent a rear CVD during a really bad landing. But, didn't break any of the plastics.

[@14SolanoCounty95]

@Jason Perrin RC ey bro I'm new to buying rc and I been seeing this around on KZbin for a lil bit now. If I buy this do I have to buy anything apart like batteries or anything I might need for the car or does everything come with it.

[@boomerak4774]

​@Nor Cal 707 you'll have to buy batteries and charger

[@frfrank5862]

I have the Orange XRT 🤑, most parts from the X-Maxx will fit it too such has wheels/tires(24mm hex rear/17mm front), wheelie bar, and light kits. I just installed all three of those accessories on the XRT. I'm keeping it all stock mostly 🤔I even did the Traxxas 6700mah batts with the Traxxas dual charger. Also Powerhobby has a lot of wheels/tires for the X-Max/XRT such as the Powerhobby Raptor XL Belted Tires / Viper Wheels got them in orange too 😊 Going to Pimp it in Orange,Red and Silver....of course Skin the chassis too (Darkside Studio Arts or RC Skinz)😱

[@bluey.850]

will the body fit on an xmaxx

[@nickpacello2597]

Jason, thank you!!! I haven’t bought it yet and usually wait until you do a post running video. I do like the truck and think it would an awesome add to my collection

[@CarolusRex1346]

Thank you for sharing, I always appreciate your views and impressions on different rc cars.👍 greetings from Sweden

[@TriggerFingerRC]

The blue looks amazing!

[@lukenukem1164]

Great video, thanks. I'm looking to make the move to a big scale truck. This ticks most my boxes as I'm used to good handling low cog 1/10 and 1/8 scale.

[@ngirardo86]

They have instructions with the wheels/tires because they are directional and some people won’t realize that. Better to have too much info than not enough.

[@cjchannel12RC]

Cool unboxing, I looked at getting an XRT but my heart is set on another X-Maxx currently also i might reconsider this or a Kraton 8S EXB someday.

[@Moggmodels23]

Hi Jason brilliant video great info it's not in the UK yet it's all out of stock for some reason next year but yes great truck 😀👍looking good unboxing spot on mate 😀👍

[@nielsjuhr594]

The wing mount is prone to breaking upon bad landings. If you want to do flips, put on the xmaxx tires, the sledgehammers. If you're jumping 20-30ft, the bottom cover will crack over time, I'm hoping they come up with an upgrade, hint hint Basherqueen. A lot of people expect it to turn sharper, I think they forget 1. It's a truggy, 2. How low and wide it is. Otherwise, it's a fantastic rc and imo, a really good looking one at that. Can't wait to see you bash it! 🤘

[@BeautyBeastRC]

I cracked my skid already hahaha

[@heyby8764]

wd40 it up

[@BeautyBeastRC]

Tempted to try and install the 2028 1100kv in mine but it's so damn heavy i'm hesitant. I had a mmx8s and a tp 5670 1270kv but the mmx8s couldn't handle it and blew out. Now I'm running an xlx2 and tp 5660 1356kv but still not totally happy lol. Great video bro, you're one of my fav youtubers =) oh and yea the bec is 6v and I'm surprised you had good luck running stock servo at higher voltage. I actually just did that in my first xrt bmx bash video and I had problems the whole video with my mmx8s cutting out and needing to be rebooted. Come to find out it was because I was running stock servo at 7.4v. Soon as I set voltage to 6v my mmx8s stopped overloading the bec and worked great.

[@traxxasfans]

I think you are right when you say it looks like the E Revo that was my first thoughts . Great video

[@shaunescarlett.1]

Great video mate, pre ordered mine but it won’t be here till Christmas/January can’t wait to get it looks awesome, all the best from me over here in the UK

[@rctezluh42069]

its hard to beat the sound of a piano being dropped out of a third story window with the Kraton 8s 😂😂😂😂

[@GreatLakesRC]

Will be interested to see what you think about the stock ESC 👍 I definitely want one of these 🤩🤩

[@JasonPerrinRCVlogs]

Presently shocked!

[@austinlittlejohn7916]

I was expecting a XMAXX V2 with a wide XMAXX kit. Like they did with the maxx V1 & V2

[@idan678]

well i send traxxas message about my v1 MAXX and they told me that eventually we all must upgrade to the widemaxx kit..hopefully they gonna keep in stock the bodies and the v1 chassis+center drive shaft and other v1 parts

[@frfrank5862]

Traxxas makes a battery adapter tray for the X-maxx that will fit in the XRT battery trays when your using a small battery such as running the XRT on 6s🤔😁

[@JasonPerrinRCVlogs]

Thanks for letting me know. I will check that out.

[@SamusSays]

Im loving my XRT so far i only have about 3 runs on it but it handles really well and glides through the air. the temps seem a little high though

[@vicdez]

As far as the CPU cooler design, I think it really just comes down to costs. CPU coolers generally have a copper slug in the middle which would raise costs. Then comes the contact surface area/larger mass again more material which would raise costs. Let's get one thing clear though, you need enough mass to be able to dissipate however many watts of heat the motor is putting out max. Fans/heatsinks on RC cars do not have the mass to dissipate all heat so what they actually do is help motor cool down faster and not limit the potential of how hot it could get. Heat soak as it may.

[@hayes4424]

I have always had Traxxas and never anything else. E-review, Xmaxx, etc but I find that Traxxas isn’t all that great in terms of electronics, servos, even working on them kinda sucks at times. Anyway, I’m looking at this XRT but wondering if maybe I’ll be happier trying something new and going Kraton EXB rtr 8s. I think it’s probably a better value. Thoughts?

[@clairecooper3848]

Think I already said that and all that kinda fun stuff 😉 Just yanking ya chain bud no offence 😘🤣

[@Globalrell]

would you recommend a xmaxx or xrt for someone looking to get into rcs

[@bluey.850]

i want this body on my xmaxx. will it work?

[@SolRayz]

You should just break the wing off now on the test bench, because it will happen anyway. 😭

[@joebobrc1504]

Some never noticed the fact the tires are directional & didn't read the instructions. Lol.

[@Charlesbjtown]

This was me. Got the truck a few days ago, and just not realized that I had two going the wrong direction 😂

[@joebobrc1504]

😅

[@jeffbeckmann7767]

Does it come with batteries and a charger?

[@Hivibes121]

We need Nitro Kits back for 2023 💥💥💥 👈 This Lipo RTR is becoming the same gimmick 🤨

[@clayton8465]

That’s crazy that my local hobby shop ships to you. They’ve had them for a week already. But buying one doesn’t interest me. I’ll buy a kraken 1/5 gas

[@JasonPerrinRCVlogs]

Not until the 20th. That was a Traxxas release stipulation.

[@troylake1206]

It’s junk. Traxxas you pay for the name that’s it. The rear axles bend bad if you land hard.

[@6fiddy309]

I just happened to run across this ignorant statement and had a little chuckle over it. Thank you..

[@escapegravitymedia]

guys guys guys guys

[@JasonPerrinRCVlogs]

You forgot "cool. cool cool cool"

[@Snkrsleyenda]

Bought the orange 🍊 best color imo"
