[@fckjoebdn1776]

You can mod anything to out perform the other. Your comparing a 8s e-revo which isn't how it comes, to a 4s maxx. Why not compare them both stock or both with the same mods? There are a bunch of options because different people like different things.

[@GiulianoMazzina]

I bought a Maxx a couple weeks ago after watching many videos. Yes, the Wide kit is NEEDED. It turns so much better. If you want to have the Maxx not wheelie so much at speed, adjust the spring tension on the shocks. I can have it flat out and not lift the front wheels off on grass too. Adjust the spring tensioner on the shock to shorten the distance of travel about 1/8 of an inch at a time (2-3mm). I think I'm about 8-9mm less and it doesn't want to wheelie so easily. If you do a lot of jumps though, don't remove spring travel distance.

[@marlonread556]

Is the wide kit only available thru traxxas? Or does RPM have a kit?

[@DanHovarter]

Don't need wide kit if you are on dirt

[@marryalen6286]

what are best batteries for widemaxx ? Is it 6700 traxxas or compatible team orion ?

[@GiulianoMazzina]

@@marryalen6286 6700s technically don't fit but I modded my battery tray to make it longer and I use velcro straps going through plastic to hold the battery in there. The 5000 battery is the largest battery for the MAXX and fits with no modifications.

Hi, I just bought now the E-Revo 2.0 and after first ride, amazing, no issues, super control and handling. Our Outcast and Notorious are under big pressure now :-) the Notorious flips around and is fun but all day repairs needed and that fed me up and now I have a car which out of the box really runs and handles sooooo much better :-) thanks to your videos and recommendations I am finally where I wanted to be. :-)

[@TheRealHoltzy]

Couldn't decide, so I got both an X-MAXX and a REVO 2.0 🤷‍♀️

[@kdog2816]

Lucky! I got rustler and slash

[@excaliburgarage]

But that’s a Maxx and you have a X-Maxx. Two different cars completely

[@Critical-Defense]

I did the same basically. Bought a Hoss 3S and broke several parts replacing them with upgraded parts until I broke something I had to wait for a few days into owning it. Went to the Hobby store and came home with the X-MAXX and Dual Live 28 charger with 2 4S batteries totaling $1500. Destroyed the X-MAXX plastic servo within 2 hours of owning it. Couldn’t get an immediate replacement plastic one nor could I get any upgraded servo in town. So I ordered a ProModeler 930 kit with 2S LiPo battery and horn, now waiting for the stupid mounting bracket for it, so I ordered a 1 day shipping plastic gear servo to get it back in service. First day out with the replacement servo in the X-MAXX and I broke a rear shock mount. Purchased the upgraded aluminum shock mounts but having to wait a week to get them delivered. So I went and purchased 2 x E-REVO 6S (one for my dad) Broke the plastic gear in the motor second day owning it, purchased metal gear. Nothing else broken on the E-REVO yet but I went ahead and ordered 2 x 400 High Torque servos for my E-REVO and then bought a Savox or however you spell it high torque servo for $70 open box MSRP at $150. Got the HOSS back running with all upgraded parts in suspension and body mounting. Waiting on X-MAXX shock mounts and servo adapter. And E-REVO is about to have all of its upgrades installed tonight.

[@coltonlynn2825]

What one is more durable

[@Barberev]

Which one do you like better?

[@innovativerc7155]

Awesome comparison!! To allow the Maxx to not roll over and jump & land nicely you could put really heavy weight shock oil in the shocks, such as 70 or 80 weight. This will make the suspension stiffer, which will reduce body roll and it should make the Maxx land better. Hope this helps with the handling of the Maxx. Keep it up!! 👍👊😉

[@cameroneshleman4833]

I'm assuming you have a Maxx. Do you think 80 weight would bend the shock shafts, or cause other parts to break? Thanks

[@innovativerc7155]

@@cameroneshleman4833 I don't actually have a Maxx but I think 70 or 80 weight would not bend the shock shafts as the shocks are very large and strong. 👍

I had both trucks at the same time, didn't like the Maxx at first. But after the wide conversion and metal drive shafts, it made the Maxx into a whole different beast. Ultimately, sold my erevo 2.0 since the Maxx fit my needs better, but the 2.0 is still one heck of a truck.

[@JacesOwnWorld]

@@skyshade9106 I don’t own either, but I have watched a lot of video reviews and read a ton of stuff about them both. From what I’ve gathered, he Kraton 6S is slower, but it is built better. The problem though is many people have broken a lot of things on the Kraton 6S despite it having metal driveshafts and such, compared to nobody ever having to replace things on the Maxx despite its plastic components. People love how indestructible the Maxx is, but they live the steering and ergonomics of the Kraton 6S better. Really just depends on what you want out of the car. For me, I would like the Kraton 6S for its agility. Apparently the Maxx rolls over way too much on pavement and dirt, which would be super annoying. I’ll take agility over durability, hence why I even choose to buy European cars over Japanese...

[@dnr7770]

@@JacesOwnWorld people think metal part are better..in some cases only as they expose less durable plastic parts to break that might not normally. Whats needed is a more durable plastic made from longer chain molecule plastics which flex and not break as they're not as brittle.. the caveat is it's more expensive and will stretch in areas ie shock ends and steering arm end holes. Partly why this hobby is so expensive

[@ajkr32]

Love the video! I suppose what your saying is you’d buy the Maxx with your head, and the Revo 2.0 with your heart. Can tell you love the Revo truly as whenever your talking about it you smile and that’s really what the hobby is about. Time to have a look at some Revo 2.0’s for sale :)

Excellent comparison. I have both and agree with you on both trucks. Bottom line is they are both a lot of fun!

[@craiglamb9029]

A few things on the ERevo . I Got my EREVO 2.0 this year in April. Traxxas has made a few updates. Push rod ends are twice as long as the old ones. Push rods are a dark metallic grey color and are slightly thicker and the threaded end is threads at least twice the distance into the beefier rod ends. Tie Rods - I also believe the tie rods have gotten the same treatment as the push rods. They are still chrome. Don't quote me on the tie rods tho. Motor Leads - there is a zip tie securing the motor Leads to the rear chassis brace to prevent them from flopping around and breaking the wire like yours did. I highly recommend securing your motor Leads to prevent them from flopping around and fatiguing, then failing again. Great videos and reviews. 👍🏾

I ordered my E-Revo 2.0 and i'm getting tomorrow and it was such a hard decision to choose over the Maxx. The Maxx is more durable , but you can only do so much with it. The E-Revo 2.0 has the potential to be the best at everything. You can't change the gearing on the Maxx to hit 70 mph like the E-Revo 2.0 can. You can mod the E-Revo 2.0 to the point its bullet proof, and once you get to that point I think the E-Revo 2.0 becomes the best r/c you can get. And isn't the point of owning an r/c is to mod/repair it. I feel like it's just one and done with the Maxx, where the E-Revo 2.0 you get the full experience of owning an r/c.

[@KTMcaptain]

Joshua yup, the erevo can be lifted or further lowered, it has tons of suspension travel and ridiculously endless adjustments, it only has a few weak points in the servos and rear droop travel, and has superior electronics. . What makes the erevo so fun is hucking it into a power slide at 30mph and just watching huge plumes of dirt rise out of the ground as it drifts for 100 feet.

[@FrequencyORD]

We recently upgraded to the proline badlands 3.8’s on the maxx and for our driving, it was a huge upgrade.

Bought my wife a maxx a couple months ago and she has beat the hell out of it. She had to replace her tires because she gets them soaked in muddy water then goes full tilt across a field and blows the foams out. We are going to replace her toe links because they have a little play in them but over all it is a beast. I have a 2wd slash that breaks every other time I use it and it's mostly RPM... my repairs are all drivetrain related for my slash since I have all the needed upgrades to make it basically indestructible. Gears,axles, and clutch.. that's all I break now...I have been waiting for my wife to break something because she hits trees all the time... nothing yet..

[@outsourcedrc]

That thing is tough. Maybe you should get a Slash Ultimate. That thing is really good from what I hear. i want one.

[@alienfrmearth]

She finally broke something 2 days ago... snapped axle

[@outsourcedrc]

@@alienfrmearth It was going to happen at some point.

[@robertwren2289]

I have the Maxx, and I'm so glad I do now. I don't like changing out parts, so the Maxx it for me. It's supper fun. I don't have the upgraded A arms, but it's still a lot of fun. Thanks for your Video's. I'm on my 4th set of drift wheels for the Rustler. They do wear out.

[@outsourcedrc]

Yeah the Maxx is a tough one. I'll have a new video with it soon.

[@RobertNES816]

I'm getting the e Revo 2.0. I'll get the shock braces and limiters and metal gears for the servos. I've driven a friend's e Revo 2.0 and actually liked it more then the X Maxx. The Revo just handles way better.

[@LuisAlvarado-]

the maxx is awesome monster truck.💪💪

[@ligijiji9919]

I would buy the MAXX because the E-REVO has some servo issues and I don't like fixing electronics and the MAXX is way more durable.

[@mikel1483]

does a plane radio have longer range than a car radio?

[@outsourcedrc]

I'm not sure. I dont think it matters because usually both reach farther than you can see.

[@mattylapags5951]

This deserves more likes and views

[@outsourcedrc]

Thanks!

[@lyheang153]

Interesting of e Revo is just change tires up the gear and run on the road it's gonna be epic

[@bobthomas9403]

Nitro Revo 3.3 for the win baby!!!! E-Revo is a cool 2nd for sure!!!! that Xmaxx is a flip over machine!!!!

[@kevinsinger7941]

Xmaxx might be but not the Maxx with proper setup.

[@michaelinzitari]

23:49 how did you do that sideways trick?

[@christovisuals1]

Hey man I have a question for the rustler 4x4 is using just a 3s battery fine on the stock pinion? Does it put more load on the motor than a 17t pinion? I’m looking to make my car faster but I dont want it to overheat or damage the motor what do you think?

[@outsourcedrc]

You can run 3s just fine with the stock gearing. If you change the pinion to make it faster, you cant drive it in grass or with any resistance. The motor will overheat very quickly.

[@christovisuals1]

@@outsourcedrc Alright, thank you so much. Love your videos!

[@outsourcedrc]

@@christovisuals1 Thanks!

[@mikeyszabo8851]

Great video to watch. I'm getting an e revo, upgrading from a 3 year old 2x2 ruslter. I'm in canada so this car with batteries and everything is 1300$.

[@longboardguy]

Mikey Szabo I’m in Canada also and consider buying one. They are quite pricey aren’t they but I think this truck in a overall package is worth it!

[@mikeyszabo8851]

@@longboardguy ya it's crazy it would be alot better without the stupid tax, or the fact that you have to buy the batteries separately. The ruslter was my first amd only rc car and want ome that I will have for a long time.

[@outsourcedrc]

Wow thats crazy expensive. Is that $1300 American money?

[@mikeyszabo8851]

@@outsourcedrc 1300 canadian. The car before tax is 845, plus 13 percent tax, plus 300 for 2 batteries and a charger, it's around 1300 total. Tha k god I'm splitting it with my dad but still stupid expensive.

[@mikeyszabo8851]

@@outsourcedrc thank god it's not american cause then it would be prob over 2k. I have a hobby store near me and they sell traxxas, and traxxas parts, so it's good that I domt have to order offline and pay american and shipping

[@yoyoboy0617]

Can u do a e revo v1 vs v2 video comparison review proformance vid etc

[@outsourcedrc]

I don't know. The 2.0 has been out for so long that I don't know if its really necessary.

[@outsourcedrc]

The 2.0 is better in pretty much every way, but the V1 handles a bit better because its 3lbs lighter. I wouldnt get a V1 over a 2.0

[@yoyoboy0617]

Outsourced RC I was just just wondering because no one else is done it. I’m wondering if it’s worth it to put the 2.0 upgrades on the 1.0 they I already have

[@outsourcedrc]

@yfz450rx yeah the Diffs are super weak in the E Revo V1

[@themastercarpenter]

no review needed; I had a revo v1 and it was an enormous design mistake by Traxxas. Horrible amount of breakage, super poor design, just stay far away from them. Honestly Traxxas should buy them back from anyone- thats how bad they are. I bought a 2.0 and it does decent with reliability but I still fix more than I 'd like to.

[@johnpluskota8016]

It looks like when you put the wheelie bar on it gets squirrelly to control.

[@ayougo]

Heavier shock oil will improve the landing performance. The car is at full droop while in air. Its the trucks shock compression on the way down that really matters. Increase your oil weight to 65-70.

[@andyvannort2743]

Just bought the erevo 2.0 and xmaxx this week

[@brianbrissette9444]

@outsourced rc, congratulations on more than double the subscriptions from last year, long time viewer. at least 4 years now.. I have the 2.0 and xmaxx. Also Losi's super baja rey and rock rey, 5 boats and 15 planes. How much room you ask, just enough for one more toy 🤩BB

[@outsourcedrc]

Thanks so much! I need more space. I have ran out of room basically

[@johnmalone8790]

Best video I've watched in a while........ Love my new e revo 👍

[@outsourcedrc]

Thanks!

[@kevinsinger7941]

Biased and one sided the Maxx is better all the way with just a few small adjustments and mods.

[@mnbassintv2849]

I want e revo so bad but not sure if I want to fix it a lot but is there upgrades to make it more durable?

[@outsourcedrc]

The repairs needed are very few. It's very tough. Just get the limiting straps and you are good.

[@mnbassintv2849]

@@outsourcedrc okay thank you

[@dmoneyg3007]

I need some good tires for this EREVO I have. What tires would you recommend. How about servos? I would need 2 servos that pull good torque numbers as well. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!

[@outsourcedrc]

I use the stock tires. They hold up well for me. I know some people have a driving style that does not suit them, but they work for me. I have a video on my channel showing what servos I use. They are Savox. I think they are 1256.

[@shannonblack527]

What if you put the e revo tires on the maxx. Do you think the Maxx would handle better? Would love to see the video!

[@bolitapelona]

I have both, yes it is an upgrade and is more stable in the dirt.

[@mikegent2676]

Do you know how to adjust the braking on the e-revo with out the Bluetooth connection... Mine end over end when I hit the brakes.... Other esc you can do it with the controller... Great vids!!!

[@outsourcedrc]

I do not.

[@mikegent2676]

@@outsourcedrc thanks for your time

[@schunts09]

You need to do a trick tutorial on the mc twist thing you were doing with the maxx!

[@doubleaaaron]

I have the maxx and I really enjoy it. I've yet to run it on 4s and on 3s it has plenty. Only issue so far is the battery came out, but may have been due to doing quick stops and doing front flips.

[@mitch5800]

I was considering these 2 cars, and chose the maxx because it takes only one battery and I only have one battery (a 3s lipo) for my rustler 4x4 brushless. But does the maxx have rollover issues (without the wide kit), and would i need the widemaxx kit?

[@mitch5800]

Oh and your Ramps are the best ramps ever. Wish i had ramps like that😢

[@mitch5800]

Oh and do you think I should get a 4s lipo when i get the maxx

[@outsourcedrc]

It will roll over a lot without the wide maxx kit, yes you should get the 4s for it.

[@mitch5800]

Ok, i got the gray/blue color it’s beautiful. And yes I am experiencing frequent roll overs. I am running a 3s that i use on my rustler 4x4 vxl, and i use a ez peak plus single 4 amp charger, but in the charger manual it shows it can only charge up to 3s. So do i have to buy a special charger for the 4s or can i use my ez peak plus?

[@mitch5800]

And what charger do you use to charge your 4s batteries, and would you recommend me buying that charger?

[@stonejr74]

What run time do you get out of your Maxx and your Rustler before you need a battery charge?

[@outsourcedrc]

I'm never checked. I'm guessing 45 mins to an hour.

[@Say0n]

everybody wants to dethrone e-revo 2.0 but is such a cool car, I went once to a park with a friend that didn't know much about RC Cars and I brought my x-maxx and the e-revo 2.0. My friend wanted to drive the e-revo 2.0 all the time.

[@TylerSaleik]

I agree the e revo is a cool car but it’s proved that even once upgraded, it’s still not super durable compared to arrma 1/8 cars

[@jamesgeorge609]

Great video,,,I have both,,,but now my stock servos in my erevo need replacing,,,,what servos are you running,,,there are so many out there. To the point of confusion,,,I bash similar to you,,just need a good reliable servo. I did however run the xmaxx steel geared servo in my maxx,,,great upgrade....look forward to all your tutorials,,,thanks

[@outsourcedrc]

I run Savox 1256TG servos. They do make water proof servos also, but I dont run in water.
