Top 5 Upgrades for Traxxas X-Maxx. Cost effective, Durable and Best sellers for 2018.

[@thomasdansby7344]

You nailed it bud, I would recommend any new xmaxx owner to watch this. You summed up every necessary upgrade in 20 minutes. It took me about 3 months of reading up and asking questions to get where I'm at which is basically what you just covered. Well done.

Thank you, it is going to be here :) X-maxx could be pretty affordable in terms of upgrades, if you do them right. Its a durable truck out of the box, it just needs a few tweaks

[@RedneckRoyalty]

Fuck these guys. They robbed me 250$ lol gotta go to bank to get a chargeback for this fraud ass website

[@nicholasmapes]

Just got one for my birthday today! What an absolute beast... I think the stock tires are okay, NOT GREAT but serviceable. I probably won't change the tires until the stock wear out, then..... badlands.... My stock servo is okay too, can turn the tires on carpet no problem, but I will likely buy the steel geared servo and have it on hand for when mine eventually strips.

[@historiclp4577]

That was a very nice “Honest” review and upgrade video.Obviously he owns an hobby shop, and was still completley honest as to what you should upgrade and what you should not.I dont know him but ...very good honest guy.I would listen to this review 100% over any other.Thank you for that

[@historiclp4577]

RC Street Shop , no problem, man.Im getting ready to upgrade my new 8s Blue Xmaxx, my god its so beautiful i dont even want to drive it.I have to watch your video again, but what do you think about a piggy back shock upgrade? I was thinking the Hot racing system? But someone said that he installed them and they leaked...the black and blue ones.

[@Rcstreetshop]

Besides cosmetics, piggy back shocks do not improve handling that much. From our experience it is more cosmetic upgrade...not a performance changer.

[@furyrosewood3528]

In addition to your situation, I have noticed if the ESC is used heavily, it can and will thermal shutdown. a solution to that would be to aim two small fans at the ESC to the left and right of it, that cures that problem. Also the Spur and Pinion are inadequate, the pot metal has exploded on me twice under the high speed gear combo. Replace with hardened steel and you will end up with a much more durable drive train. Also have replaced both front and rear diff cases with the aluminum case from the torque biasing center diff. I haven't broken anything in the suspension, but i find the drive train of this truck to be very fragile.

[@Rcstreetshop]

Thanks for the tips😎

[@rmcseveney]

I finally bought a brand new Xmaxx 8s yesterday. The very first time out, within the first 10 minutes, the rear passenger side shock cap broke. Then I noticed the inside bearing was all apart on the same rear passenger side. I replaced all corners with rpm uprights with the bigger bearings

I bought a Used Xmaxx 8S. It had all of these upgrades already done lol. 2085X servo, RPM rear hubs, and pro-line badlands beadlock wheels, CEN captured hinge pins, Upgraded steering spring and linkage. I have the stock A-Arms still, I have a HP racing spool in the rear end for a live axle, and a HP racing hardened steel spur gear. I love it though!! Super reliable. I get to enjoy all of the advantages of the upgrades that were already pre-installed! Because my truck “Never breaks” It’s super reliable!!

[@joseCalderon1976]

@@jordanfrye1280 Try the DuraTrax lockups x 24mm belted tires. They are $50 for two or $100 for a set. They are the cheapest and best tire for the xmaxx so far that I have tested running 20/50 gearing. You just have to keep an eye on them becoming unglued. Reglue them and bash on!

VERY detailed and informative video, cool to see that the honest hobby guy still lives !! Would love to come by your shop on my next trip to the states, greetings from Denmark :)

[@Rcstreetshop]

Thank you and you're always welcome!:)

[@ToGrimmToWin]

The parts needed for the SRR are 109 c hubs and upper suspension arms. 60-88 spindles. A must. Gpm aluminum servo saver bell crank and aluminum servo saver mount 50, 1/5 servo mount 55, 1/5 scale servo 50-100. Upper link mount 40 and the rear bearing carrier 50+. Then you break the axle housing or lower control arms or front shock tower. All those are limited to one maker running 88 for the cheapest part. So so glade I traded it for an x maxx before I got in the hole.

And I do LOVE the badlands on it. You're right , runs straight. A lil heavy, lose about 3mph but psss

[@insanegnyc]

I approve of the RPM rear knuckles and badlands tires. One thing I would add is HARDENED steel motor gear and spur gears! Espically if you upgrade the motor like i did with the 1460KV TP Motor, Max5 ESC. I personally went with the savox 1210 servo because it has 444oz of power and it’s Savox! I never trust Traxxas.

[@jakejager]

The stock arms are amazingly stout, I don't believe that is a must for upgrading... I've had more issues with the front shock tower getting bent after lawn darting but have wrapped all the "tubes" with silicone tape which has helped in allowing things to take more shock before giving up ;)

Great Vid! Love the detail! Can you make an updated video of current experience with truck and how different parts you’ve used have held up plz.?

[@Procrastn8rsUnite2morrow]

SAD HOW U SAY ITS AN."EXPENSIVE" RC TRUCK only to end up replacing or upgrading every part that matters. Down to the esc. Im a new owner of an 8s xmaxx and not even 5hr total run time and my esc went bad. Into my 3rd set of diff gears both front and back. Spent more for the spiral cut gears that didnt last long. Cant wait for Arrma to get with the large scale band wagon.

[@Rcstreetshop]

Yes, with 5 scale cars everything is very different in terms of how loads, torques etc are applied. Power to weight ratio is different form regular 1/10 scale

[@Procrastn8rsUnite2morrow]

@@Rcstreetshop im finding that out. Also what I just figured out is that its not the components that are bad but rather a design flaw. The engineers got this one wrong and why they havent fixed it is beyond me.

[@Procrastn8rsUnite2morrow]

How so you ask? Well, they tuck the heat sensitive esc in a trench surrounded by all this heat source. Behind it is the motor, in front are the metal gears and on both sides are the 4s batteries. All generating enough heat to hurt the esc and eventually causw a short circuit. Untop of that is a body that traps all that heat in. A simple remedy is to lift the esc up a few inches and get cool air circulating around it. Once I did that and my esc works like a dream. No more error codes and play all day long. 🤙🤙

[@Rcstreetshop]

This is exactly how you do it. This is RC aka hobby foe DIY'ers,n high five for figuring it out!

[@Rcstreetshop]

Thank you. We've tested and broke a lot of X-Maxx upgrades to make this video and it is totally possible to add something else to the list, but if the goal is performance, then just these 5 would be a great improve.

[@popwall4297]

STEVO D 313 with this truck if you use a little Common Sense the truck doesn't not need any upgrades I have a Traxxas that's 10 or 15 years old and I've kept it clean kept it out of the water just short. jumps and it's still going strong

[@lanyburnett7966]

Do you know if they make a tougher alternative for the 7720 part on an 8S? Mine broke and it was a pain in the butt to replace. It seems like that should be a stiffer aluminum piece. And, it’s pretty important for the truck.

[@Rcstreetshop]

It should be flexing, this is why it was made it out of plastic, aluminum would cause something else to break plus truck will be much heavier (more inertia etc)

[@tomwebster9361]

Good vid mate, I agree with the upgrades featured mines 8s from stock, Gearing has been an issue on mine, ESC replaced and now the motor has burned out, It is an expensive truck to start with, Batteries have failed yeah and servo too, Love my BEAST no matter what.

[@Rcstreetshop]

Thank you. You'd love it with RPM hopups!

[@lanyburnett7966]

I don't understand what you are saying at 11:18. It sounds like you said "RPM Uprights"? I know you are talking about bearings shortly thereafter, but I am just slightly confused. Also, I wen't to the RPM site and it says that the bearings are not a replacement for stock Traxxas Axle Carriers. So, does that mean that we need to change that carrier to fit the new bearings? Sorry, I am a newbie and just getting in to the hobby.

[@Rcstreetshop]

Yes, RPM uprights rcstreetshop.com/rpm/6689-rpm-oversized-rear-axle-carriers-traxxas-x-maxx.html they come with oversized ball bearing, so you change both with this kit....a must have upgrade

[@landis277]

I’m a little bit late saying this, but the tires are great if your doing off-road speed runs or driving in all terrain, but if your a basher then these tires aren’t for you there very heavy and can put stress on lots of other parts and your electronics, it also ways it down more that the stock tires

[@paulreinerson7925]

Hello thanks for great video, I just recently got a 8S X-maxx and was wondering if I also need to upgrade the rear hub uprights or are they already better than the 6S X-maxx was stock. I don't jump my X-maxx we race them on a 8 turn off road track. As well, what do I need to buy for the steering system?

[@Rcstreetshop]

As everybody plays differently (speeds, skills etc), we advocate buying/replacing parts only after breaking them. Changing stock steering servo to aftermarket, should address 90% of all steering issues one may have.

[@madsk1llz352]

Great vid bro! Quick question.. Just recently purchased a couple MaxAmps 4s 9000XL lipos for my 8s. Do you think an esc upgrade like a Max 5 or 6 is needed or is the stock esc capable? Also, what high end charger would you recommend? Would greatly appreciate your feedback.

[@Rcstreetshop]

It depends on how you run it. For most people stock is OK (with extra cooler/ heatsink )...It is possible to damage any ESC with high output batteries. There is no need to get high end charger if your goal is to charge two high performance batteries at a time. Instead of spending $400-500 on a charger, get 2 $100 ones...it be just as good.

I love the snap-on body it's so cool...looks awesome...would you be interested in selling it?? Great channel 👍

Well i dide know about the cen hinspins mod together whit the rpm arms whas a must, but from what i know you can only do it to the outther and lower arms, that sayid you need it all the way around from what i have seen/heard or is that wrong? Becuse i hade the arms on my truck and the pin slipt out on thelower arms first, but also on the uper arms on the outside :(

Absolutely replace the radio, esc, and whatever you do don't install the telemetry system. I did and there updates bricked two freaking radios. The best hop ups I did was the same Hot racing steering set up and Hot racing differential parts including the HR support plates under the diffs and helical cut diff gears. Never blown a diff since. I also did the badlands tires make a huge difference as well. Unfortunately because of the radio issues I've had , I have no electronics for it for about a year now. My girlfriend has an Arrma Nero and I wish I bought that instead of the Xmaxx. My 20 year old Team Associated MGT still runs better than my Xmaxx. I've been doing RC for 30 years so I'm not exactly new to this lol

Thanks for the comment Charles! 30 years in RC is impressive!!! 👍👍👍👍

Charles B hi I have the same x max the snap on edition one and I would like to be able to use the self righting do you know what I need. Apparently I need a new radio with the switched and red button and also I need the new receiver so if you have any ideas what I need that would be great

[@ronbonin1998]

@@tobybusbridge3422 You need the radio and receiver only. I was told i needed the link but they were wrong.

[@kaiyanbosen6229]

To replace the inner bearings, do you need to replace the whole setup

[@adamx9987]

Does anyone know of any offset wheels for the x maxx? Or anyways to make the truck a bit wider?? Thanks for any suggestions.

[@customer7903]

Hi. Can you tell me why every dealer in Europe (and I guess the US is the same) all charge the same price for a Traxxas X-Maxx 4WD 8S. I have asked many dealers for a discount when buying a complete package including batteries and dual charger and they all say they are not allowed to discount 🤔🤔

[@a10v]

Do you recommend going to 22/50 on the pinion and spur? I have stock 6s i do have to extra fans for the esc and the dual castle fans for motor

[@Rcstreetshop]

It depends on the way you ride/play. Make sure you check temp after first couple of minutes and then after 10mins, to make sure that you are not over heating/stressing it.

[@curbdog808]

Hey, where did you get that snap-on body? I want to make a food truck body for my X-Maxx.

[@surfside75]

Have it 3D printed.

[@willb7184]

Can you please show a video on how to pull out all 3 diffs? And the servo? Thanks!

@@Rcstreetshop I've done it a couple of times already. Hehe. I've broken the top bulkheads in the rear and front so I had to take my xmaxx apart. No biggie 👍
