Building a Beast....The BEST X-Maxx for 8s Bashing!!

[@Jerod_Helt]

It’s crazy to watch this video 7 years after it was made. Your video style has changed so much!

[@LIMITLESS.420]

I love how clean everything looks in his old vids compared to his new ones

[@pinfarmer]

Interesting how he has become a more over the top youtube character since these chill videos.

[@ryanwashenesky5044]

You do what makes you money.

[@glengirot3087]

You have to follow the views 😁 more entertainment and more informative videos for us 😀

[@joseCalderon1976]

6yr old video. As old as my son, but I still love to watch it 😂👍

[@jcsquared1111]

Took my xmaxx out for the first time yesterday and I absolutly love it !!! Thanks for the spark in getting me one of these bad boys. So much better than the 2wd I used to mess with years back.

[@RiverHogRon]

Hadn't seen this old video 😊! You've come a long way my friend!

[@thecollector448]

man... look at the baby face... hahaha I just realized this was in 2016!!! Cheers man look at you now.with the LAMBOOOO!! .. Good Vibes Dude Good Vibes!!!! Love your Vids man... I am just starting to get into RCs .. Love the Hobby and the quality time it gives me with my boys and wife....

[@robertcarpenter5681]

Awesome tutorial Kevin, I love your channel! Something that you may consider when installing those spring steel pins into the dog bone is to refrigerate the pin and use a heat gun on the dog bone. This will expand the metal on the dog bone and contract the metal on the pin. Afterwards, use a bench vice to press the pieces together. I feel that it would be worth a go. Cheers mate and keep up the great work!

[@A_Man_In_His_Van]

Tip: heat up the disassembled driveshafts in the oven to 400 degrees, and freeze the pin rod with keyboard cleaner can held upside down. It will slide right in and clamp down to an interference fit as the temperatures equalize then you can trim the pin and assemble the axle. Works great for pressed in bearing races too.

birth of the legendary xmaxx

[@jst4kicks568]

Aside from cutting the brace between ESC & Motor, I didn't realize the Max 6 was a direct fit for the X Maxx. Nice. I'm sure the ESC probably needed calibration. Worth it

[@rcmaniac-basherrc]

I have to say that this is a FANTASTIC video! Well done!

[@KevinTalbotTV]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it :) Cheers, Kev

[@Tomsl15]

I think this isn't going to be a basher I might just keep it all nice and clean next day with xmaxx BOOM CRASH BANG OOOOHHHHH I broke it

[@killachief187]

Kev looks well young, Nice video dude. WE LOVE BASHING

[@gpaje]

Love the video, that's some hard core bashing with an expensive truck at the beginning, amazing to watch.

[@hyflyin1]

I am planning on an XMAXX as a retirement gift to myself - I have a Stampede 4X4 VXL and I can't get enough !!!! Great video !!! Jolly Good Mate !!!!

[@prime0591]

Bruce Moore u should get a nice 1/10 scale buggy really fun little car 👌🏻

[@Ben_McBride]

I love how he just has spare 1000$ cars lying around

[@Make-Asylums-Great-Again]

sports _17 you have to look at with content $$ in mind.

[@themanthemyththelegend1392]

He drives a Lamborghini, didn’t hide it well enough in the live stream so an xmaxx is cheap comparatively

[@OneTimeIAteABagel]

He owns a hobby shop

[@arjunsk1924]

Used to own a hobby shop that’s why he had so many

[@Divine.Prince]

I know right

[@drewsrcs995]

Opens the xmaxx doesn’t even think about giving the traxxas esc a chance😂😂😂

[@docedits7294]

Well the ESC was the 6s. He puts 8s systems into it. I just got my first Xmaxx yesterday and I ran it on 8s and it suits the truck. Theres a reason they converted them to 8s

[@Fredward1986]

@@docedits7294 Hey have you upgraded many other parts to run it on 8S? I have an old 6S Xmaxx I'd like to run on 8 in the future.. Centre diff conversion required?

[@Valdemar-Perez-III]

Probably cuz he already gave the esc a chance.

[@Hillfortgaragecustoms]

Bloody hell kev, how your videos have come along from back in the day, was nice meeting you on the weekend, no doubt see you again

[@CmwSpeedrunUk]

You were born for this 👍🏽

[@giostealthr1]

Enjoyed the video !

[@strictlystreet1517]

Thanks a lot for your response . I just spoke with traxxas and with this being my first ever RC they said send it in to the for repair seeing how it's only 2 weeks old

[@karlschweizer2554]

man you just saved me from spending a 1000.00 i am so glad i found your video i will do your modes to mine and not worry that it will burn up thanks so much man.it just makes sense the truck is very strong and fast your truck looks great

[@Kyle-jb3hr]

Was it worth buying a xmaxx ?

[@rcroarshock12]

I also love that he has a spare 1000$ lying around!!! Good job bro!!!!

[@wan3196]

He rebuilt it to be a 6s model in 2017

[@Soggy424]

No one: Keven: BRAND NEW X MAXX LETS KEEP IT PRETTY... NOW TO INSTALL A 20S LIPO THING AND SQUEEZE 30 lipos!!!

[@MRCG68]

hi man ! i'm happy to see that i'm not alon in europe to like and use to death an x-max ! Marc from france ! rcgarage68

[@prime0591]

many's rcgarage 68 well the car still works so it’s not dead yet aye😂

[@eddielane9569]

Looks incredible ! If you know the torque setting you could get a torque screw driver to set the screws to the appropriate setting without fear of stripping them.

[@rcroarshock12]

That’s why I’m saving for the class!!!! Boo yah!!!

[@darjohnsom9368]

Hey Kevin love the channel...when you where painting the body and then the black accents I thought you where out to lunch but it looks awesome ...my next body same way bloody wicked

[@TheNefastor]

Do you need to file a flight plan every time you play with that truck ? 😅

[@michaelthewolf5053]

This guy got some big money

[@cows1990]

Thank you much I needed to see this. Good tips on the screws to

[@richardcalf8337]

16:27 I'm waiting for Sting to come in.

[@CarolinaCrawlerScaleClub]

super cool idea and tips.. I'm just waiting on my Max 5 and 19/50 is gonna be my sweet spot. thanks for the videos

[@brianholloway3033]

Hey brother love the video. I was just wondering if you could do a video on the complete setup of the ESC and the binding of the radio? It looks like you just used the stock radio. I want to do this setup to my X Maxx. So any help with another video would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and keep up the great work.

[@eriksurfs365]

Very, very well made video! I really enjoyed watching It!

[@brandenstevens9702]

So relaxing love all the videos..

[@smallfry1463]

I run the same setup. Good temps and great bashing! Thanks buddy!

[@prime0591]

Nice brand new plastic 😍

[@nredextreme8240]

Do they still have the drive shaft problem?

[@andersonsiqueram]

Sou do Brasil adoro e gosto dos seus vídeos só seu fã gosto quando faz vídeo do traxxas x Max queria tanto um desse mais é muito caro pra compra aqui no Brasil e para importa fica mais ainda valeu amigo pelos seus vídeos que me anima a cada dia um dia irei ter dinheiro para compra um traxxas x Max 👍👍

[@fernandorcs1964]

Aí Anderson, beleza? Eu comprei um no Paraguay. Paguei 1200 dólares na gaba hobby. Compensa cada centavo. Carregador e baterias tudo com xt 90. Grande abraço

[@ollepearce3116]

Love the music

[@STEVOD313]

This was before my time in the hobby but seen it n had to click on it!

[@22Tech]

i wish i could drive like i had money for repairs haha

[@nickhilliard9752]

I’m watching and learning. This is good stuff

[@jonhill9564]

For the nice stuff? Who is this guy?!

[@alliswellkunana1234]

i always loved your videos........ hope i could have something like that x-maxx......

[@G_A_Z_23]

She is a BEAST!!!!

[@olds97lss]

You need to get a electric driver with a clutch. I love my milwaukee M12. I just set the clutch at the lowest setting that will drive the screw in, then zip the screws in and then hand tighten.

[@jasonrojas2176]

I’m so glad I found this video , it’s the exact same thing I want to do to mine , he’s the reason I got an Xmaxx paid $500.00 used

[@jatnielcolon9780]

I loved the intro

[@stonejss727]

Did they fix all of these issues with the new 8s version of the truck or do the deaths and pins and everything still break and strip?

[@gijswh2498]

0:32 I love tree's

[@justinwood61]

Kevin is this still the gearing combo you recommend?ty

[@bustersbashers2280]

Great vid Kev 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️

[@Sloppyjoe96]

i need me one of these.. cant wait to get paycheck gaha

[@michatech7]

Why u dont use castle esc's in your cars?, just ask i hope u can answer thanks

[@gabormihaly667]

Interesting! Did you have a job a long time ago, or where was this film shot??? 😮😮

[@austincurenton]

Would a max 10 esc be a good choice

[@edoiceman4281]

Hello, I took a anchio EZRUN max6 for Xmaxx, I wanted to ask just plugged max6 be set, or just turn on and the factory parameters are fine? then I noticed that you used the 18/54 instead of 18/50 ratios think will be better?

[@KevinTalbotTV]

I just use factory settings. Just make sure you set your endpoints with the set button (see instructions) 18/50 gave good performance all round but is still a little aggressive I think so hopefully the 18/54 will tame it slightly. If it's too slow I will try 19/50 which is what I wanted to run but didn't have any steel 50t spurs. Cheers

[@edoiceman4281]

Thanks for the answer, well then, I look forward to another video test with the new parameters, see you soon!

[@glitch4life90]

I love your intro XD

[@jdubbfam37]

Wow 5 years ago had to be just when i started watching . waw is that the first xmaxx ?

[@ronnieduazo9286]

I love all of your video body...- i never see in the philippines x- maxx ....someday i hope

[@jaimeolivas222]

Love your videos and I won't charge you anything to take one of those xmaxx truck off your hands lol

[@BrianW2979]

I have the telemetry expander with GPS and the xmaxx light kit, would this stuff work any more if you do the esc swap?

[@markjordan]

Great video buddy really fun to watch so I have subbed 😁

[@mudlover4379]

This is our dream truck wish me and my kiddos could afford it

[@eddymcintosh5551]

Great video, loving the build I want one

[@beckycollins4795]

0:00 to 0:30 I loved that music so much.

[@SpikedWolfShark]

It is a undertale spooktune remix (especially the one made by Sim Gretina)

[@adamcantryn4951]

What drill type do u use? I know it’s a dewalt but it looks perfect size for taking the screws out. And what drill bit case do u use?

[@mrclive5]

Cracking vid, nice job. You work well as a presenter! What threadlock was that?

[@KevinTalbotTV]

Thanks :) the threadlock is made by BSI i think. Cheeers

[@case2807]

U the best kev

[@pork.t.v9462]

Cheers brother

[@edoiceman4281]

Hello, a question, the cable that goes from the engine to the receiver what to do remove it entirely or just the one that goes from the ESC to the receiver?

[@KevinTalbotTV]

only remove the old esc wires and plug your new esc into port 2 on your receiver.

[@edoiceman4281]

Then the motor cable coming off permanently from the esc?

[@MrAzulikit]

Would a Maxx 5 be better to purchase if eventually changing up the motor?

[@trolltv3722]

wondering, why did this xmaxx have a red shell but blue shocks? I always thought they matched each other? xD

[@prime0591]

Very nice idea to make the drive shaft stronger but it’s kinda weakening them for force of the pulls of the power

[@georgezhou1415]

What brand of electric screw driver is that and what head do u use? Thanks.

[@brettbain1]

Great job on that body

[@Sloppyjoe96]

whats wrong with the stock gearing?

[@hobbyreefandmore7277]

Great video, I Enjoyed the video

[@adamjonsson830]

Is it a 6s version before you upgraded it?

[@Keldren.]

this video was published on my birthday! woohooo

[@strictlystreet1517]

Quick question I own a 15 day old xmaxx 8s and something is wrong with transmission or something. When I turn it on and pull the trigger on the controller the engine winds out but the wheels don't move at all. Sometimes if I tip it straight up and down the wheels will turn when I pull the trigger. It's not a temperature thing and I've never taken anything apart

[@KevinTalbotTV]

loose pinion maybe? whip off the black cover with the 'hot' sticker and have a look in there first. DOn't rev it up if sometings broke you can make it worse.

[@rolandpanganiban5250]

hi kev,, love your vids,, watching here in the Philippines🇵🇭.. i think you should buy some dremel or small rotary tool for building your toys,, thanks

[@djscottymaxx]

when you own your own hobby shop and can break $1000 dollar R/C's and not give a shit 😁

[@gsheverything_2716]

Great great great video brother, greetings from Florida buddy

[@KevinTalbotTV]

Thanks dude, I'm glad you liked it :) America is Awesome I want to live there one day! Cheers

[@gsheverything_2716]

Kevin Talbot whenever you make up your mine on moving to USA, come to Florida, cause all year round you'll have tropical weather lol

[@johnvaldez4720]

Why did u change the esc straight out the box ?

[@TurboLS4dr]

JOHN VALDEZ i hear the stocks one burn

[@paulmyfinger]

Kev, Why did you change the esc, is there something wrong with the stock one?

[@luckysrc8405]

Paul C the stock 6s escs on the 6s xmaxx used to catch fire but the new 6s VXL escs by traxxas now but 8s escs with newer xmaxxes catch fire to people say but mine has not I hope it doesn’t

[@johngantner9314]

question my truck was making some funny gear noises after some repairs I did. I took of the cover for the pinion and spur only to find out the spur has alot of play and teeth are missing or filed down. Any suggestions on making the spur more secure? Thankyou in advance

[@doug42780]

I would love to have a xmaxx. Just picked up a slash. I like it

[@fords4life914]

when u were gonna paint the xmax...i knew you were gonna do it orange!!!😍🤘🤠🤘lol...lmao!!!!

[@ali94hn]

[@sczerbaty]
