My First Day With an Xmaxx

#Traxxas #rccars #rc
I finally got an Xmaxx! In this video I take it out for the first time. I jump it. I wreck it. I tear up the body. I run myself over. It was fun!

[@ToddTube1]

I was waiting until April for my Birthday to buy an X-max but I got drunk and ordered one today

Congrats for your video. I really liked the fact that the way you drove it, what you said about it was very real and to unbiased. I have many cars and have seen tons of videos but yours is a more realistic approach. Thanks for sharing!

[@monkfry]

My first day I chucked the lipos in and slammed into a mailbox post lol. It hadn’t been on for any longer than a minute. Also the only post in existence for about a 200 yard radius. I broke the left lower control arm. Hell Yea!! Xmaxx!!! It was a freak thing though. I’ve bashed the crap out of it since then and haven’t broke anything else. Grats man, welcome to the Xmaxx Club!!

[@outsourcedrc]

Haha crazy. Thanks!

[@monkfry]

Outsourced RC All I could do was laugh and order parts lol. The Mad Max Land G-Rippers look so boss and are worth every penny btw. Nathan Cation “Mad Max USA” on Facebook sells the rippers and the Russian indestructible hdpe bodies. Also killer for serious bashing!! Helpful group to belong to with Tons of XMaxx info. Andrew Appleton (KZbin, “All Day RC”) has a wealth of build knowledge and is a great guy!! His “Ultimate Xmaxx Build” series is awesome. He also makes belt drive conversion kits. I have no affiliation with Mad Max or All Day RC in regards to selling or promoting the G-Rippers, indestructible bodies or the belt drives. They’re just excellent products. Good times and rubber side down man!!

[@realworldtalkrwt520]

Man I wish I could afford one of those. Left the LEO profession and need a hobby to make me smile again 🤩

[@outsourcedrc]

I was Almost an LEO. I'm sure you will find you something. Maybe consider the Maxx instead?

[@child617]

Crazy the same thing happened to me the first day I ran it. I also put some small washers and it’s held on really good. And as another person said, the pinion gear went lose a few days later. Today the left rear tire ripped right down across the middle. This is my second Xmaxx. I love them.

[@Mindcoach1on1]

Get Cen hinge pins. Rpm rear hubs they come in a kit with both of them and the bearings as well the rear bearings will go out as soon as you start bashing. Also by the stock stiff Springs that Traxxas offers for this and I promise you you won't be disappointed

The Xmaxx is a total beast! You gotta get speed! More speed for height and once the Xmaxx is airborne it actually controls real well...you gotta just give in to the bash and send it ;) Mines been about 40 feet in the air at the skate park and even had a number of really bad landings...only broke the front bumper so far ;) You should also get the link and ALWAYS shoe goo the bodies on ALL cars ;) Sorry, just realized this vid is two years old but points are still good ;)

[@aaronfox5808]

Glad they have the body mount kits now.

[@Modellbau-Kanal]

WOW that was a short and expensive fun. It comes from the mega adrenalin kick when you drive such a Monster Truck. I drive only RC Modell Truck Trial because this Monster Trucks are to fast for me. I hope you comes back with a new video and a repair Xmaxx. Greetings Andy from Modellbau-Kanal.de

[@rotax1699]

Great choice with getting an Xmaxx! Don't forget to get the 3d printed body savers as it's easy to read through the body when you jump it. Have a great time! I love your content!

[@ToGrimmToWin]

I always use Teflon washers for screws in Lexan to stop them from pulling out

[@porschetech2491]

Lolz. How funny is that! I just picked up an Xmaxx with the green/black combo. It’s going to be an Xmas gift for my son along with his e REVO. It came up as an amazing package that I couldn’t refuse! Lots more to learn about these big rigs.

[@joshdunbar9721]

I just bought one myself. But glad I went with 7200mah and 100c burst. It needs it with all that wt

[@7.62Ak]

Very fun truck to drive no doubt. But be ready to drop some serious money in it if you plan on buying one. Bought mine brand new a couple of months ago and it has just been one thing after another. First day out of the box my esc caught fire and did a ton of damage so after sending it back to traxxas to be repaired, i bought a hobbywing max 6 esc just to avoid it catching fire again. Ran it maybe three times and body pulled through and three of my tires came apart and two of the shocks leaked out all the oil. So if you plan on buying this truck just know that 900$ price tag is just the beginning. Ended up shelling out 200$ for the proline badlands, 160$ for the max 6 esc, 15$ for shock oil, scrounged up some body washers, two servos because of the plastic gears stripped. But all in all if you dont mind the cost its a fun truck to own.

[@RMJ1984]

That's very useful to know. Not much good buying an RC like that, if one cannot afford spending that money extra. Think ill stick to E-Revo2 and just replace cheap push rods :P

[@jamesgeorge609]

There is 2,000,000 in thr center diff form the factory,,,I put 500,000 in the front and rear,,,,go through the truck check the diffs, sometimes they are low,,,check everything.......put a washer or something for the posts..there are certain things that need to be reinforced,,,but believe me,,,you’ll be quite satisfied with the durability of it ...I’ve got 2. And love them both,,and I put them through hell,,with minimal damage,,,have fun. You’ll get the hang of .......will take a beating for sure ......great stuff,,,,tazzzz

Sweet Xmaxx! I want one of these for Christmas 🎄 👍🚀🚀🚀

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

This is literally the toughest RC truck on the planet lol Very funny watching someone not launch it 65' over a lake and then drive across said lake.

[@cliffcampbell8827]

It's lexan, plastic that's thinner than construction paper. Using washers to reinforce the areas around the screws is a good idea or you could use a strip of plumbers tape (bridged between screw posts and shaped to the body contours) and/or strong tape (on the inside) like gorilla or duct tape. There has got to be dozens of ways (from cheap and quick to expensive and detailed) to strengthen the lexan without covering the body graphics. A little research can go a long way or experiment and develope a whole new technique that's perfect for your style of RC operation. What works best for me is to remove the stock shell and buy 7 or 8 disposable bodies then destroy every last one of them.

[@LuisLPRCs]

Nice! Welcome to the Xmaxx Club 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@alistairclark6814]

I just bought one. They come with big plastic reinforcement on the body now. A arms and hubs are weak though.

[@outsourcedrc]

[@rccrazy7495]

You need the receipt for the xmaxx and You will just have to take pictures of the holes where the screws pulled out ,and tell them you only ran it once. No major jumps and a couple tumbles later all the screws were torn threw the body.. I'll tell you how to re enforce the new body.. dry wall hex shaped tape the sticky stuff and silicone . Also I cut out squares that fit in the screw holes with washers and it helped alot.. eventually they rip through again but not the first run. Also Proline sells a body for 100.00 that is supposed to be for the XMaXx thicker plastic.. And there's is a Russian company that does have a indestructible body. For 125.00 plus shipping but don't give them your credit card number lol use a prepaid see what they want first.. Check out proline first . More dependable...
