Traxxas Maxx Slash Unboxing, Overview and Size Comparison

[@riffraffsrc]

Great overview Neil! That really helps give the scale to those of us who don't have one. I just actually did a video about my Mark Jenkins Slash ultimate edition, I just converted it to the clipless set up and was so happy they made conversion kits for the older models! It fit perfectly I'm very glad I did it! Great video brother! 💯 🤜 🤛

@riffraffsrc Hey Riff, hope all is well. I just did the same thing to the ultimate too😆 I'll check out that vid. Thanks again brother🤜🤛

If Traxxas made that Rapter R body for the Maxx slash that would look Awesome !!!

[@ReadySetRC]

@RickyDRC1968 Right!

[@UDRC85]

Great unboxing. Awesome job on the size comparison also. Looking forward to your first run.

[@ReadySetRC]

@UDRC85 Thanks bro💪 Took it for a rip today, it feels like a Maxx. I had some crazy moments where the wind was pushing it in the air but that was expected, crazy windy today.

[@UDRC85]

@@ReadySetRC wow! In your opinion is it worth it?

[@chrisdean8235]

Nice vid bro! Have you had any issues with the driveshafts on this bad boy? I have a Rustler VXL 2WD and the stock driveshafts exploded, went to the Traxxas metal CV and they busted too!! Pretty much every time I drive the Rustler I break it. Looking to maybe get the Maxx Slash for parking lot bashing...

[@ReadySetRC]

Hi ReadySet, that is a nice looking Traxxas Maxx Slash. Traxxas is really using that chassis for a lot of there newer RCs, that should make it a lot easier to work on since it's like the XRT, Maxx V1-3 lots of parts to adapt to help customize this RC. The comparison with the Slash, Raptor and how it might be possible to put the Raptor body on the Maxx Slash chassis, seems like who ever does it will have to do a lot of trimming on the body to get it to fit. I have to agree that the Mojave 4s comes close to the Maxx Slash. Awesome overview and comparison video, I really enjoy your un-boxings and overview video, (note taking) to help improve my unboxing videos. Take care and best wishes to you and the family.

[@ReadySetRC]

@sparetimerc Those folks over at Traxxas seem to be always forward thinking. They find ways to reuse a chassis so there is immediate parts support and if you want to customize there isn't much needed to do. Keep pumping out those vids. You're doing great👍

[@RickyD1968]

To make it fair you need to compare the Mojave 6S to the Maxx slash 6S !!!

[@ReadySetRC]

@RickyDRC1968 Power wise I totally agree but size comparison it's going to come closer to the 4S size.

[@truerc]

Looks good👍Might pick one up later. Hoping for a sale

[@ReadySetRC]

@truerc Traxxas sale on anything Maxx that maybe awhile😊

[@truerc]

@@ReadySetRC Indeed, I'm patient though. I've bought almost all my RCs on sale.

[@2LocosRCing]

The spring rate is not the same, traxxas told me the Maxx slash front springs are 1.150 and rear 1.4.

[@ReadySetRC]

@2LocosRCing Thanks for the info but that wasn't my point. I was stating you will need to swap out the springs if you plan to do the wide kit conversion.

[@2LocosRCing]

@@ReadySetRC ooh I gotcha,my momma always told me to open my ears 😆...yea that's how I found out about the spring rate. Widemaxx kit on it is sick, didn't hardly have to trim the body.

[@ReadySetRC]

@@2LocosRCing Great info on the springs! I know folks are going to widemaxx Slash / MaxxRT the mess out of this. Took it out for the first time today. I'm impressed. Parachuting, expected but it was really windy today but it felt like a Maxx which is what I wanted. Winner from Traxxas.

Single worst RC I ever purchased. $700 for what is basically something on par with a Waltmart sold New Bright RC. Esc blew within the first 2 weeks of owning it. I had the same thing happen with the Sledge which is the second worst RC I ever purchased. When a $700 rc has zero throttle control, you know you are not dealing with a well engineered vechile. A $300 Redcat Valkyrie runs circles around this in terms of throttle control. This is unacceptable on Traxxas part and they should prepare to start losing sales to competitors who charge way less and who have managed to figure out how to make esc's and motors that offer a realistic driving experience. Traxxas does not. The Maxx/Slash, the Sledge, Raptor R, Slash, Hoss all have no throttle control. Their 6s vechiles are really 4s vechiles and 3s vechiles are really 2s vechiles. As a result, way overpriced and can't compete with competitors who charge much less but offer much more. They annoy me.
