7 worst Traxxas X-maxx problems - and how to fix

[@jeremykg1569]

One thing i would recomend is keep your driveline clean and greased well and the esc is good to go. I would say most of the esc problems came from drag in dirty or damaged bearings.

[@Bryzle1]

For all the people out there, who want to destroy your vehicle, yes, you can do all these upgrades and spend another $400 - $500. But, this is in my opinion is the most well built, well engineered, most durable you will find on the market today. There is simply nothing else that compares. If you respect the vehicle, and don’t abuse it beyond its capability, it will last many years without breakage. I’ve had many different vehicles. I’ve had this one four years without breaking it once. I cannot say that about the others. Every time I went out with the other ones, they were guaranteed to break even with mild abuse. But then again, I am not out to destroy them but, I will do 8 - 10 foot vertical drops and 20 foot jumps regularly without fear of damaging this one. For those people who want to get crazy with it, go for it. Not my style and, it is just more expense and downtime. Waiting for parts and repair. The only thing I did upgrade, which I think it really needs is a better servo saver. The one it comes with is little too weak. Everything else in this video, it’s just a waste of money. Respect it, and it won’t cost you a dime further. And, no, I do not work for Traxxas. It is the best damn vehicle made. I love mine. Best I’ve ever had. It’ll take a beating. Just don’t do the 20 to 30 foot vertical jumps like you see in the videos. And, don’t run it at top speed into a wall. Nothing can withstand that kind of torture for long. Oh, another thing I did was soak it down with WD-40. That trick really does work to make it even more break resistant. All vehicles for that matter. And, yes the body of it does pop off occasionally….usually in a cart wheel situation or if the front end hits something dead- on pretty hard. I’ve never had to replace the A-arms either even when clipping a front tire on something at about 30 - 40 mph. That’s where the WD-40 works best I think along with the shock attachment points. Never broke one of those either. Overall, the Xmaxx is and always will be my go to vehicle.

[@Xbot4Life]

Thank you, you've given me more confidence in getting the xmaxx. much appreciated

[@user-df3jq5tr8c]

That is why you fail. Where’s the fun in doing nothing.

[@Xbot4Life]

@@user-df3jq5tr8c fail at what?

[@Bryzle1]

@@user-df3jq5tr8c Fail? What success do you aim for? Destruction? I’m an avid thrill seeker. I enjoy life as far as I am willing go with it…in a responsible manner. My decision. Not yours. I don’t go 'all in’ on anything. Nope. I do have limits. Limits are good. Throw caution to the wind and you will get wrecked in every aspect life will throw at you. That is the mindset of a fool. I just sold my electric unicycle and regret it. Put 500 miles on it then had a pretty nasty crash because I was chased by a big dog. The smart person learns from his mistakes, because some of them can be fatal. I’ll go another route and avoid the dog next time. Includes everything RC as well. I hope you can learn to respect the speed, power, and weight of them before you or somebody else gets hurt. Be wise about it as far as you are willing. It is your life/your money after all. Do what you want with it. I have learned there is no profit, no joy, in destruction. Destruction = pain.

[@kermit56780]

Problem i had with mine was it begged to be driven hard 😅

[@doctajuice]

I swapped to 50wt shock oil in the rear and added some preload to the front. Stays flatter under full throttle and makes holding wheelies wayyy easier. Also stops traction roll from being such an issue

[@nhraandnascarfanatic5907]

Let me make something very clear, the xmaxx is absolutely awesome. It’s big, it’s tough and it’s bloody powerful! However, and this is a mistake a lot of people make and don’t realise until they have have bought the thing, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SOMEWHERE TO DRIVE IT TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL. If you don’t, then this isn’t the truck for you, your after either the Maxx or the hoss

[@billypennrc2273]

Pull it out of the box, install your batteries and take it for a blast. Enjoy your new earth shaking R/C monster truck. If you are back yard bashing and hitting some small to moderate ramps, don’t even worry about having to upgrade anything. The motor and esc take a beating. Eventually you WILL break something & that is when you decide if you want upgrades or just replace with factory parts. I agree that the tires could have & should have been MUCH better. RPM rear hub carriers are a smart upgrade with the RPM hinge pins. But again, not absolutely necessary coming out of the gate. Steering servo? Yea it’s slow, but good until you damage it. A lot of the suggestions/opinions can be interpreted as things that you should or have to do or your X-Maxx is inferior. You spent $1000.00 bucks on one of the sickest R/C trucks ever produced, it’s nothing short of an R/C legend. Drive it like ya stole it and twek as needed.

[@RCReviewChannel]

good advice right there.

[@mechanicallycreative9788]

My understanding is the new xmaxx already has larger bearings in the rear hubs. I understand the hinge pins but is there some other reason for rear rpm hubs?

[@projectenergy]

Mine broke 2-5mins in first run today.

[@BrendonakaShanks]

I needed to see a review like this. It's helps me decide weather or not to get one. Thanks heaps mate. Appreciate it.

[@Trump-lv4ge]

Get one you will never look back 😂 it all depends on how you drive, I have 3 x-maxx’s and if it was a case to change one thing it would be the servo. Your right to research first brother 🤙🏽

[@Bryzle1]

I’ve had a few other RC’s. Xmaxx by far is the best out there. Had mine 5 years. No damage yet. Soaked all plastics in WD-40 and it keeps on going and going and going. Really a nice surprise. I’ve not had to spend extra time or money on it. It is dependable and strong. Very fun to drive. The people who complain are out to destroy them. I love mine.

[@hughjanus5518]

It's so worth it. They are tough as hell

[@johnwindsor9069]

I have had a few XMaxx's since it first came out. I guess I've been lucky, and not had any major issues with mine. I'd just say, upgrade as necessary.

[@deadflight84]

Ive been in the hobby bashing for a long time. I keep telling my buddy the xmaxx is the Pinnacle of bashing. It reminds me everytime i drive it

[@newamericatowguy3633]

The body is a weak spot. The plastic is thin and weak and it pops off a lot. Not once did I have issues with my tires because of the way they were made. Been through 1 set amd that was my fault. Non vented tires don't like water too much.🤣 The stock 2085 servo in mine never failed me even after 2 years but I did upgrade to the 2085X because it was becoming weak. The stock ESC - 8S Garbage. Get a MAX6, and watch your gearing. The motor fans... Trash and not necessary if you know how to gear it right. Front arms breaking was because of cold and my bad driving. Flipping over can be minimalized by suspension adjustment, and throttle control. The stock battery trays definitely need a different solution. The strap idea is a good idea. Best recommendation I suggest is drive it until it breaks then upgrade as you go! Have fun, enjoy, and happy RCing everyone. And thank you for another great video!!!

[@Medaasolasso]

This is not meant the author, I really like his insights and his helpful videos so much. I have never seen the full stop rollover. I self-roll as I am better than Traxxas I think because I have eyes+ears, by using gas forward, no quick movements, you only lose inertia that way. And when you see the window you give the extra power. but it was always building up inertia and couldn't be more gentle. My auto roll is like that too I believe. Anyway, I have never understood why you have roll and brake, reverse, when any car with heavy wheels/any diameter--extension-tire will roll with 1-way throttle.(depending on many things, but a roof skid with u shape will make any Karton 6S roll like a carton off 6 eggs. My typhoon tools and looks beautiful, no egg comparison needed. Typhoon 6s truggy is arrma's best car. But I know many can't get out of a few inches of snow, same thing. So definitely understand that this is breaking their crap. I use it on everybrand,like Arma,Nikko,W.l RC,my Dji, Kyosho , jd, hpi so far. Btw, elitist are always fun, they are from my perspective well informed, like all fanboys.Nostradumbasses is the technical name for them,btw But whatever you found incorrect, my throttle off on build-ups lands my cars right way up, there is a clue.

[@devnull128]

I really appreciate this video. It completely sold me on the Arrma 8S Kraton instead. I have a MAXX, and this sounds like a more expensive version of the same issues. This is not a snarky Arrma guy comment, but a sincere thank you for saving me $1,000 only to have to replace all of the most expensive parts. I’m done with Traxxas.

[@BoostedBlazer]

How’s that working for ya😂😂😂

[@dosetti]

Awesome info. For a thousand dollars these issues should not exist in the first place imo. But there has to be an upgrade available i guess. Smaller bashers can be bought without needing any upgrading or worry about tires blowing out or any other breakage.

[@dirtshart]

Best things I can think about of the class is the aftermarket body's fit the 1/5th scale gas monster trucks like the Redcat Rampage and the aftermarket wheels that have actual 14mm hexes instead of Traxxas's stand alone hex can also be used on the 1/5th scale gas monster trucks

[@mrtransient]

So. In summary. Buy 1k truck. Spend another 1k to Change everything on it so you can run it lol got it

[@scottdaniels3033]

I can confirm the tires fail out of the box. I ripped the tread off one about 20 mins to playing with it on dirt

[@jamesplymire5342]

I've had my Xmaxx for 4 years and still has the original electronics, including the servo. I bought the Proline Badlands when I bought the Xmaxx. Never used the stock tires.

[@anthonyminggia6794]

That makes me feel better I just bought one yesterday and for that amount of money I didn't want to go out buying things for it already!

[@Bryzle1]

I’ve had my Xmax for 7 years. I’ve run it probably 500 times on the most rough terrain possible. I’ve literally beaten the snot out of it and it continues to beg for more. It has never broken and it still runs like the day I took it out of the box. It is quite an impressive machine. But then again, I never ran it in freezing temperatures and it never came into contact with water either.

[@allmightygreat1892]

Rtr ready to replace. My friend lets me drive his max wide arm. Amazing powerful machine. Not a lot of broken parts. No skate parks

[@kjmdrumz3]

Just bought a Maxx v2 after several years away from the hobby. I have beat the absolute shit out of it minus sending it “to the moon” and it has held up perfectly so far. Full speed end-over-end cartwheels, somersaults, etc. on grass, dirt, gravel, and concrete. The body is already a bit beat up and some scuffs and things on the plastic bits but everything still works perfectly. Changed shock oil to 70wt, put heavy springs on the rear and moved stock rear springs to the front. That’s it. Otherwise it’s just like it came out of the box. Now I just need to keep those wheelies down 😂

[@steveblackbird]

Near 4 years on mine and still have the stock servo, set the end points when you get one. I bought the bluetooth link and adjusted the easier way. One day I'll upgrade or just get the metal gears and rebuild it. Max 6 is a definite. wakes the truck up nicely and with 20/50 hardened steel gears makes the truck drive much better. 50wt shock oil all round seems to be the sweet spot for me for mid level bashing and handling. Tyres.. well.. I've blown a few but still use the stockies as they are much lighter than badlands so less stress on the drive train and never use self righting... hard on gears and tyres. The new V3 X-Maxxes now have the oversized bearings on the front and rear hubs so no need to get RPM hubs anymore. I ordered them and fitted them to mine... no more problems. Other than that, really it's an Epic RC that always makes me smile like an idiot lol. Way too much fun.

[@xGR1MxREAPERx]

You forgot the #1 problem And most annoying.. the pinion is made of paper and stock they are never tight enough. First thing you should do is change it to a better brand and use green or red loctite. Never will have to worry about it ever again. The x maxx strips out the pinion on the first ride usually if you didn’t swap it or tighten and loctite it

[@mr1982davies]

great video hands down the truck is insane iv upgraded the servo and iv got a full set of hd are sitting hear plus a chassis brace next will be a max 6 esc some hinge pins for the arms and i think she will be all good no need to upgrade much else the truck is a blast o ye and maybe tyres later on key is not to be so aggressive on the throttle

[@RawstreamRC]

First hand this is a beast of a AWD Monster Truck! Im making a video on one of these atm. Great Video and soundtrack! ❤

I'd say the servo the hub bearings, the ring and pinion, and the tires. Those are the only thing things that I have had to replace after 3 years and I launch mine off 40ft tailings piles.

[@RCReviewChannel]

That's a great testimonial right there.

[@ajsrc]

My Xmaxx has a stock servo and it's super strong and fast. I have not had any problems with it or the servo saver.

[@twisterzman]

So far, I've been lucky with mine. I did tweak the center shaft, but straightened it out. Did blow a tire, but my fault. Heavier fluids in the diffs will keep them from unloading as much, and going up 10w in the rear shocks helps tremendously. Also, not expecting it to survive absolute insane expectations is a big thing. " stupid truck broke after I jumped it off an overpass and it was hit by 11 real cars. What junk". Those people give RC's a bad rap. Enjoy and have fun, but be realistic about what anything can handle- or expect the consequences. 🤷‍♂️

Only one time (the first time) I drove it, did the pinion stay on. I was gentle on it that time, in comparison to the others.

[@Davivd2]

I haven't owned an RC since the 90's IDK why people can say a car with this many flaws is great. Being so flawed is the antithesis of great. When I had an LXT, I couldn't break the thing. I jumped it off of 20 foot jumps, completely cased the landing and sent it doing carthweels down the hill. Flipped the thing back over and kept on going. That was a great RC. Anything that requires this many things to fix for it to be great is copium. Tires should not be so cheap that they rip to shreds. The prices on some of those upgrades, yikes. Spend the extra hundreds of dollars on something that will not require a bunch of upgrades. You could buy a Losi for half the price of the X Max and not have to upgrade anything. What the hell happened to the RC community? Traxxas was known to be garbage all the way back in the 90's. Losi was killing them in every way.

[@DingusYi]

My X-Maxx has a unique problem. It won’t steer, but if i turn the wheels away from center, turn it on, and push on the wheels the servo will center and hold the wheels there as if it works fine. TSM won’t automatically steer and I confirmed that the steering on the transmitter works by switching around receiver wires. What does this sound like to you? If i do need a new servo, how does the Perfect Pass Monster sound? edit: If and when my ESC burns out, does the max6 esc need a higher C count than traxxas batteries (25c)? I really dont want to have to buy new batteries.

[@papag5433]

If steering works in other slots on your esc then it’s your esc.

The upgraded servo from traxxas still isnt good. the truck we have took a few nose dives and the servo quit, so now we gotta buy another one. Traxxas needs to stop making their cars proprietary, and used standard servo mounts and Electronics plugs so people have easier options. Its crazy to me the money they want for that truck and the electronics are terrible. it should have their upgraded steering servo to start with.

The Xmax driven like you drive your Kraton (seeing a how its been flawless when so many others have had durability issues while bashing) will also be flawless.

Like anything if you abuse it it’s going to break. Want to guess why I still have a large amount of my grandfathers and great grandfathers tools that still work? Don’t abuse what you own

I bought a new 8s that i run on 6s because i had the batteries for my boats already. 3 battery cycles 20 min use basically and it switched by itself to reverse from forward and then no power to motor. Switched esc it worked then same thing first run outside. a 1500 truck that after taking it out twice is basically new but i have to spend money on. Arrma i have an Infraction and a Felony that has run to burn tires like no tomorrow and never a single problem with both. The infraction as even been used in heavy dust and not even a fan quit on me. I had wanted an X Maxx for a long time now i regret buying this piece of crap.
