Do this mod before putting a giant motor into a Traxxas X-Maxx

[@2004DodgeRam]

I got my Xmaxx because of you kev and I just want to say how much I love it, thanks for the inspiration I needed to get one!

[@KevinTalbotTV]

Enjoy it!!

[@iandarrach9009]

Have you had problems with the pinion staying on yet can’t find a way to keep it on

[@aidansrc2724]

Try using lock tite and a hardened steel pinion, I had the same problem when mine was new, it might just need to be broken in

[@yeetboy88YT]

i did the same

[@PUSMEYFUNNY]

i like RC Truck

[@itzpec24yt10]

This man just comes up with new ideas every time

[@fikrafikri12dyrh78]

flkra

[@zwrd2040]

true

[@jhawk1985]

Thats why he has such a huge fan base !

[@magillagorilla1180]

Super true

[@FloodedWithGems]

Ooohhhhh yeeeaaaaa

[@DJ.1001]

Extended hubs are going to cause alot more breakages. Thats probably what killed that bellcrank.

[@zat-1-fury]

Knew this already and this is why I hate extended wheel hubs

[@meanf1502]

Their just as bad is putting wheel spacers on trucks not good at all

[@SebastianLong]

Well, he did also put outcast 8s wheels on it making the center point of the wheel in the same location so it shouldnt cause any issues.

[@Nick_Parau]

not necesarily, in this case the wheels he used are very low offset, so with the hubs it has got the offset just about where the stock ones would be. A major thing he changed that i would say is the culprit the the thicker servo saver spring. it has less giv,e so it puts a lot more strain on the arms and servo.

[@KarmeloPlays]

It was it solid servo saver not the extensions

[@AMM0394]

Have this exact motor and esc/ m2c setup and my xmaxx has honestly never been more reliable. I love the truck all over again you’re going to absolutely love it. I’m running 26 pinion 52 spur with trencher tires. FYI, Sky rc makes a $15 dual fan that with a little trimming fits perfectly on top of the motor and in between the brace

[@motox766]

Thank you for the info!!! I have been wondering what gearing would be hood all around for a motor like that...

[@cramalnig]

Class upgrades there Kevin! I've had a nitro Revo for some time now which is totally stock, and it runs perfectly well. I won't be changing things on it at all. It's good to hear you say how well the XMaxx runs in its standard form, shows how reliable they can be. You two had a ball by the looks of things, and that jump over the climbing frame....jeez, well done for using the throttle a bit to lift the nose. 😎

[@jochensinzinger7947]

With this Video, you have now 1303 Videos online! My Birthday is the 13th of March - so it triggered my inner monk so hard that i have to comment this Video. 😊 I love the most of your videos and content! thanks for your inspiriation and the fun you share, this is one of the main reasons that i now have 3 RCs(xmaxx, maxxV2, Sledge) on my own and i startet my old Hobby again After 25 years (when i had a Tamyia fighter buggy in the 90s). Always great fun to watch you when i am done with my bashing! Greetings from south germany ! ! XMAXX IS THE BEST RC CAR !

[@danielesquivel7215]

Those rc look like so much fun 💕 😮😊😂😂

[@Beans74..]

Kevin, I love how you can come up with so many different ideas for videos that have to with the X-maxx. Also you should try to fit the electric raminator motor into the world's longest X-maxx!

[@stoojona5119]

Can you imagine that Raminator leccy conversion in that w.l xmaxx?! I'd like to see a 4 motor, all wheel drive of that too! A motor on each wheel

[@darkiee69]

The worlds longest x-maxx is no more. It's the one with the paddle tyres on it now.

[@MegaPusheen23]

kev should do a video on all 3 raminators when they are ready to go again (since the v3 raminator is broken at the moment)

[@richduperbash2966]

Awesome stuff Kev 😱!!! That jump over the steel structure was insane 😜. I too was surprised this setup doesn't add that much weight. Loving my M2C'd Green Bertha 😍. Appreciate the mention Brother. 😎💪👊👊

[@stevedavis9891]

Good show man, the build was awsome guys, and the jumps were insane WOW!

[@thedefaultguy7884]

Kev and the dog both were clearly enjoying the x-maxx to the max 😂

[@SpeedSyko]

Heavy XMAXX = GAME OVER🔥🔥🔥 GOOD JOB KEV! 👊👍💯🤘🏆🏆🏆

[@alpha-male1959]

The absolute best channel for everything RC! Totally unbiased reviews and Kev puts the vehicle’s through torture..lol If they survive on this channel..then I buy one 👍

[@2CabrasLocas]

Glad you left your original mostly stock. It's a perfect running rig. Never mess with perfection! 👍

[@BestPlconEarth50]

well perfect except for....................

[@paulbrett9964]

Awesome vid, i finally got my Xmaxx at Christmas after watching your videos for months and its an absolute beast, i have done the m2c chassis brace and shock o rings also replaced the hinge pins for the set hinge pins and with thos small upgrades its now a tank. I will eventually change the electronics once the stock ones have broken. Cant wait to see more Xmaxx videos 💪

[@RipItProductions559]

I’d love to see you do a video on the Max 4. Great videos mate

[@exploringtheair4784]

Hey kev I have been watching your videos for quite a while and I have now 20 rcs because of you thanks for the awesome content

[@overyonderjustapiece]

The dog chase was honestly the BEST of the whole video!! I used to do that with my dogs when they were younger. One passed away suddenly after battling heartworms about a year ago, and his sister is still here hopefully for a while longer. But she is already 12 years old and is having problems with her shoulders and hips. Thanks for including that! Made me both happy and sad at the same time!

[@strider5795]

Praying for your doggo!

[@alantoms3263]

Looks like great fun was had by all, or most at least!! Poor little doggie!! Nice you didn't knacker the poor thing too much, on trickle/part throttle. Entertaining video. Thanks. Al.

[@novisical7637]

I always can not wait for you vids Kev :)

[@averylooper5534]

Awesome bash! love the 1st person flips and jumps , can't believe the gopro stayed on there! nobody does it quite like you brother. thanks for punishing the parts!

[@KevinTalbotTV]

Epic parts thanks bro!!

[@nabilnahering6601]

This is this

[@8ssteve994]

We’re loving m2c Xmaxx combo cheers buddy biggest smiles

[@madmaxximus1234]

Your stuff is off the wall! Editing is also great. 👌 Keep it up 👍🤙

[@brei.z]

Been waiting for this one. That's awesome!.. Don't have an Xmax.. yet.. but I got every m2c part on my Kraton 6s so know they make good stuff.

[@jackandrews7305]

Love the video one of the best videos of the X max that you made

[@joewakim8933]

I love when kev uploads and when the vid is 20 mns keep the great work❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Pablo668]

That was a really fun vid, good to see Steve in the workshop, and doggo at the end! I love it when you film the dogs chasing the Xmaxx.

[@Onb3k3nd3]

16:30 Poggers (glad i find your channel! i love it)

[@1980VINZ]

This is the best RC channel EVER. PERIOD. Big salut 🫡 from France 🇫🇷 ViNZ.

[@jimbojambo69420]

I got my first Traxxas RC yesterday (E Revo VXL 1/16) i absolutely love it, such a little beast! I absolutely love your channel Kev thank you for providing amazing content

[@SSecret_Hugz]

That pupper was the most adorable ever! My pups love to chase the little RCs around.

[@seanclarke4061]

I had tons of fun watching those epic sends! so smooth and the upgrades seem to be a new take on xmaxx durability

[@audiquattrojamie]

Absolutely smashing video👏👏

[@darwonboyful]

That is some of the hardest abuse I think I've ever seen beyond someone throwing the car off a 40 story building or a cliff or something. Probs helped by very expert drivers but awesome none the less! Love it. The trees probably take allot of the shock out of the landings though

[@shawnmanson1285]

Ya the driving makes it look good. But these trucks really are this tough.

[@kylebeach2316]

On tik tok I've seen a dude drive his Maxx off a cliff and it survives somehow 😂

[@Gugu9942]

When Are you doing something about your monster truck??🤔 you are the best RC KZbinr

[@KevinTalbotTV]

working on it most days vid maybe couple of weeks

[@E2BAKED2C]

The Xmaxx is still my favorite rc by far.

[@watersidebashers.9792]

Great video Kev. The m2c upgrades on the xmaxx seem to be working really well 💯💥😀 I'm so pleased to see you do a review on them 😀

[@johngantner9314]

Mr. Kevin. thankyou this is an Excellent video. Thanks for the Inspiration

[@Unrivaledanime]

I’m a kraton guy myself but I sure like the xmaxx I will have to buy one thanks kev you make the hobby so much fun

[@hellbilly_fpv6692]

16:41 YESS haha. Gotta be a distance record!! That was siiiick

[@m3ergoodlife]

i see you had aloooot of fun! awesome xmaxx is allways fun driving

[@GARYU-S44]

Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed watching it, my friends😁🎶👍

[@lokeonpc5236]

every vid puts a smile on my face., hope you have a great eavening

[@marinjeam]

I,m still suprised by the fact such large "Skockish" Xmaxx can be an almost indestructable RC car💪 hats off for Traxxas💪

[@MischaESC2]

I love these dog-chase scenes! Loved the ones with the UDR back a while, love this one.

[@StuartBagnall1607]

Kevin Talbot you are the absolute GOAT 🐐 of the RC Community, keep it up.

[@ZozzlightsRC]

at 17:27 you missing the left front lower arm hingepin holder screw ;) Yout best bashing so far I think :D

[@fireturtle9339]

The best rc is whichever puts the biggest smile on your face, and kev, you had a BIG smile!❤️

[@aac993]

One of your best videos. I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks.

[@FarmerFpv]

X-Maxx insanity! That was a fun watch, Kev!

[@GazooRC]

Love all the “send it” content Kev! Beautifully done my friend. 💪🏼

[@Captinfun101]

Is nice! M2c , perfect pass,xmaxx tough baby.

[@2CabrasLocas]

The onboard footage was really cool! Cute dog! 🤣

[@valentinoparisi599]

The servo is so strong that bellcrank broke first

[@RCTNT]

Geez you know how to make an entertaining vid, Kev (and your editor too - tip of the hat there!). Top shelf, this one.

[@s13kuminachu]

This is a throwback. You and 8s Steve always had great times. More 8s Steve!

[@vincek217]

These jumps are on another level man :D ... it was extremely fun to watch.

[@Solarized334]

You are the best KEV. Thanks for making me laugh every video!! My dog chases my max and loves it 👍. You rock and thanks again 👑

[@kashmurray1199]

Love the BOOM. another awesome video. Super fun.

[@mattreadle4566]

Amazing video man 👍 I love how much fun u have and your zest for life in general

[@stoojona5119]

That X-MAXX is metal gear SOLID!! LET THE BASHMENT BEGIN! (yesssssss)

[@kaique0188]

Sou do brasil mesmo assim assisto esse canal top demais tmj

[@Hallracing308]

I’m so glad Kevin makes these videos I look forward for them everyday I can’t wait to get an z max of my own

[@aidansrc2724]

Videos like these are the reason I’m subscribed

[@brianalbee2881]

Kevin...have you considered running larger diameter shocks in your rigs? When i was running 1/8th scale truggies i found bigger diameter shocks helped on jumps and overall dampening.

[@bryanharness1122]

You make it look so fun. Makes me want to get back into it. Last one I had was t maxx in 2004

[@m4n4mk1]

Great video. I have been looking to buy another RC, but looking for something TUFF. Good to see long term tests.

[@SMILEPLEASE-yz6dw]

Love u Kelvin bro I am from India I am big fan of you😊😊😊

[@1badpit100]

Love your videos. Thank you 😊.

[@TheManLab7]

It's unbelievable how powerful RC are these's day's. Same goes for how durable they are as well. You've gotta take your hat off to the engineer's that design these to be pretty much unbreakable n for a fair price.

[@HappyDude1]

Dog chases and those epic jumps are so fun to watch I also had dogs chasing my metal tank, they were scared when i shot the tank with that explosion sound 😅 its on my channel also

[@warpo007]

Haven't been out for a xmaxx bash for ages, you boys have inspired me.

[@davidnijo]

Kev You Are The Best Ever Bro 💪🏻

[@mrcinnamontoastcrunch992]

Imagine how hot the motor gets when it’s almost running on a 1/1 ratio gearing

[@nancyblakeslee4945]

Wow Kevin I love ❤your Rc car work shop and all of your cars and trucks

[@Clangermann23]

LOVE YOUR CONTENT!! Get's my Xmaxx blood flowing every time. I just wish "baby voice guy" could contain the baby voice. It's clear he does that ALL THE TIME. Lol. Regardless, by far my favorite RC channel

[@brandonbernier4115]

I love RC because from kids to grandpa can bash together.

[@jkarns8767]

Kevin Talbot I’m the guy that left that hearted comment. On that four-year-old video or five I love your videos keep it up💙

[@bling1634]

With Kev it’s Christmas every day and epic videos

[@ZevahPaws]

you gotta admit that the jump at 17:48 that was performed by accident looked so cool!

[@Totemwolfdog]

I've had a larger motor in my X-Maxx for a couple years and it has been almost noting but breaking the drive-train. I am curious to see how yours holds up, best of luck!

[@thelawfamilyproduction]

100% same motor and max5. But rear diff keeps blowing up

[@brandongay5026]

Mine is the same I replaced pinion gears often and replaced rear and front diffs twice

[@YoutubeChannelStuff]

Yo kev! I do IT if you ever need security 💪🏼 love the videos!

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

His face at 5:28 looking at that arc welded, I mean soldered 😂, plug is priceless. 😂😂😂

[@radiocontrolledmadness8119]

Kevin the crack is from the Gopro bashing into the chassis from the hard landings and compression into the concrete 👍👍

[@andrewtheepic3151]

Thanks for more x max videos

[@chriswhite2714]

Can't wait for the next video already, love it keV 🤟👍

[@xrstopherpopp120]

I'm probably sharing too much here, regardless. Kevin reminds me of this brilliant kid I used to know as a kid, he was the son of lawyer so his f'ing toy collection was epic, when I came over to visit, he was intense in how he played. Basically I was an outside observer cause it was all him, I was simply an outlier out of my league. Seemed he took playing to a professional standard. Apparently one day one of his molded soldiers went missing and I was accused, I had no interest in that, nor would I steal from a friend anyhow. That was the last of that, but I always thought that some kids can bring "playing" to a pretty epic level. Passion is a powerful thing.

[@robertprater2859]

My son and I enjoy building, running and watching some of your builds!

[@gracehayseed2785]

You’re the best bro you’re the reason that I saved up for two years working hard blood sweat and tears to be able to buy an ex Maxx and they are so durable and I love ripping them every day I’m gonna be 12 and it’s amazing these things are the best and you’re the inspiration for me being able to buy one

[@iExcIuded]

Well done, kid. Well done!

[@MegaPusheen23]

I've always wondered when I'd see a dog chasing an rc car on this channel and now I have so I'm happy.

[@MegaPusheen23]

Thanks kev! i have an rc car as well, the deerc 9310, which might be the world's best cheap rc car! also help me grow my channel! (i will be making some rc car videos too)

[@omega_rc]

Kev you makin me wanna upgrade my Xmaxx brotha🤙🤙🤙

[@michaelrc9098]

[@cosmaninashiva6115]

Das ist doch mal ein sehr schöner Umbau, weiter so !!

[@FreddyKrugerGloves]

Awesome driving 🔥

[@garykee1]

not sure which is better..your mate having a "loo review" on the bush, or the little doggy chasing it around. let me know. great job Kev!. upgrades errr..hmm..possible and maybe hold up in the long term. thanks bud for the great video.

[@mallemallelili5735]

I love your videos ❤️❤️

[@Basherqueen]

The M2C is brilliant engineered and strengthening the rig in the right places 💪👍👍👍

[@enoch52]

happy to see 8s in the shop again, I feel like its been since the lego car demo derby

[@shippyshank_loves_carsandsound]

This video is like his older xmaxx videos from 5years ago. Love it
