Red Xmaxx gets the 7075 Vitavon front Bulkhead!!

[@KevinTalbotTV]

be interested to see how the chassis holds up with extreme bashing from my experience the xmaxx likes to be light and flexy. take it to the moon!! haha

[@CM-ig2pf]

I’ve never seen you punish an xmaxx before!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Todd_G_FPV]

@@CM-ig2pf oh, he has! Lol watch some old videos and u will see him destroy the xmaxx!

This is what I called light bashing. Kevin exactly knows Why he said Light and flexy. extreme and overflexy would be the total opposite of that which can result some Carnage LoL 🤣

[@calibra306]

I've just rebuilt my whole front end in Vitavon parts. Looks stunning. Just waiting for Arthur to complete making the rear lower bulk to complete my build.

[@hilltoprccrawlers1979]

Great video Joe! That X-Maxx looks awesome going 'round your track. Can't wait to see a bunch of 'em racing at the same time. :)

[@Gmcworrior1]

Now it needs to be called the VITAMAXX

[@seanweir7311]

Famous last words..... This will not break.

[@John_D2]

Arthur does some nice work and he's a nice guy to boot !! Might need that M2c chassis brace , now.

[@thetoxmedia4807]

Slowly building my dream xmaxx build… i wish they made a rear and a metal chassis

[@JustCallMePCra]

I am a little surprised he didn't take that taper up on the side to fill the gap between the plastic and aluminum. When I think Vitavon I think OEM+ everything fits just like the old just much beefier?

[@alboneMS3]

I’m in love with your track! Keep up the cool vidz!

[@thegasgeezer]

Great review, thanks, im thinking of getting this upgrade just to pimp it up really as iv never seen one break but i dont think iv seen ALL Kev Talbots videos yet....lol

[@dominic9279]

I love that xmaxx and I love the work that you've done on it.

[@glennstauffenberg168]

Awesome run Joe, but having that new front bulkhead makes it seem a little more heavy in the front with you having to throttle out to get a nice flat landing vs a straight nose dive

[@sitlos.]

I noticed the same thing. Not sure I would bother doing this upgrade unless u could have both front and back. And then it would be a maybe even.

[@kennethcraft6563]

You are good at what you do very cool stuff

[@thegasgeezer]

Also, fair point made by others too, what strain will it put on other parts and which ones??? So we need to upgrade those but what would go first?>>?????

[@robbryan3044]

Honestly, I love all the machined work that Arthur does...I've got plenty of Vitavon parts on numerous vehicles, including several on my X-MAXX...but. I feel/believe that this just puts WAAAAY too much weight up front. Don't get me wrong...it's gorgeous, and is nothing less than what I would expect from Arthur...but. I'm fairly certain that, with that much additional weight up front, the ability to do flips may have just been completely removed. In watching your running video, it almost appears as if this thing wants to nose-dive constantly.

[@JustCallMePCra]

Joe whay is this song lol... Though I was at my dentist! Lol love it...

[@victormontgomery7047]

I think the the aluminum parts are amplifying the sound of the bearings that's why you're getting squeaks but I could be wrong but yes the video does sound like a lot of squeaks I guess it could also be the arms too

[@EJ-74]

The wide XMAXX is awesome. It handles so much better. Id love to see several XMAXXs battling it out on your track. I would get some red clay dirt and put on it especially on the jumps and turns. It will get a lot better traction and the jumps want were down quite as fast. Cool upgrade Love the vids keep them coming 🔥👍✌️

Wont this cause alot of unnecessary damage to other parts?

[@BNIRc]

Would be sick if someone could make carbon fiber molded parts like the Kraton chassis I have , you totally can feel the difference in the weight just like all the extra metal I added to my big rock, I agree with Kev sometimes it can hurt you more, what a beautiful build so whish I had half of your collection bro.

[@DoRC]

My truck already weighs 26 lb dry. I don't think I need to add any more weight.

[@Rusty-Metal]

Holy cow that's one heck of a part!

keep up the grind i love the enthuy

[@jackfrosty24]

bet that's got a nice price tag on it few days ago I've seen a few parts of that and other vitavon bits getting about never the entire piece tho mmmm wondering if you convert the entire front metal would it help the front from flipping up ?

[@shanemcclain8562]

And I like aluminum especially where I live in the winter time I get nervous taking plastic cars out not to mention anything to do with drivetrain should be metal I hate that they use plastic for bulkheads

[@Airbrushkid]

Sometime ago you had WFO gears in your Xmaxx. Why are you not still using them?

[@chriswilliams8542]

I have a XLX2 with 1100kv castle combo with a Bowhouse motor Mount with risers how do I fit 40/50 gears in it??

Привет из Москвы! 👍 за старания) смотрю с удовольствием)

[@michaelvankirk3576]

Looks beautiful probably strong as hell but $320 no way in hell

[@DoRC]

It is a lot of money but you have to keep in mind that that bottom piece is CNC machine from a solid block of 7075 aluminum. Not only is the material expensive but when your machining away 90% of a giant block of material it's going to take a long time. I guarantee you wouldn't be able to get that same part in your hands in the United States for less than $1,000 from a machine shop

[@paulclancy2404]

Wow lol all these aluminum parts may make it better for lighter bashing performance and longevity which is only what most people do but like kevin said extreme bashing the lighter flexible going be better. Imo even with the arrmas I try stay light as possibly and stick to key upgrades like hing pin carriers stuff worth the weight increase

[@mellomisfit]

I want just the upper part, will he be selling the upper separate and does it fit the plastic one? You pay for what you get but I'll stick with the 15$ plastic one. 😕 Rear one possibly in the future?? I snap my upper a arm ears too easily any advice Joe?? Can't wait to see the difference! 💪

[@BrianRiotHobbies]

It doesn't seem like the vitavon gears are still on it. Did you take them off? If so why?

[@ExocagedRC]

They are on it in this video and are still on it now.

[@BrianRiotHobbies]

@Exocaged RC I remember you said they might be a bit much for the 1100 kv. I'm really hoping they hold up well. I plan on getting my own set when they are in stock anyway.

[@shanemcclain8562]

Hopefully he makes the chassis and the rear bulkhead no more Bent drive shafts the only thing I don't like is that he didn't machine that part all the way up to match do you know why he did that?

[@stonerrc4626]

Nice looking part.. not a big fan of aluminum parts. But that is definitely beautiful machinery.. the track looks fun. Glad to see the stump removed 😉. Looking good bud.👍👍 wondering how's it going to hold up to a hard hit🤔🤔

[@paulus842000]

That is an insane bit of engineering 👍7075T6 aluminum is the best because of its magnesium content. 320$ seems like a good price seeing the quality of the product.

[@valuerc2664]

1/3 of the price of already overpriced car is too much

[@ervinmedina9014]

@@valuerc2664 I think that would be a main negative about this part. I know the quality of the part is top notch. You start adding these bulk heads at 320$$ a pop. Then the wide kit and updated electronics. New tires because the stock can't handle the power!!! $$$ it all adds up!! You want it go for it, but DAMN $$$$$ 😆😆😆

That's great bro. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jackfrosty24]

imagine if they did the centre part and the rear metal lush :)

[@murdersaab8999]

There with be a 7075 total chassis soon for the xmaxx. At that point it will be the strongest truck ever. With sway bars it'll be the best ever!!! That structure in 7075 couldn't be beat with what's out there now.

[@upstatetreesevice9966]

Anyone know of another servo that I could get for my xmax thats stronger ?

Wow that piece must take a while to produce.. I'm afraid to know what it cost.

$320. Not cheap

[@Mr450pro]

Nope! I’ll keep my X stock, it runs so smooth.. No need to add all that weight and stress to the X.. I do understand the wide kit since you run it on a track.

[@jakethole]

I am a little disappointed with that gap and that there is no notch to prevent the differential from accidentally being reversed. Probably has no effect on it but that just seems like an oversight. Great video like always Thank you.

[@colinmorand129]

That's a big weight penalty

So any news on how this Vitavon front bulkhead is holding up? Or are you going to let your viewers down?

[@ExocagedRC]

Well it’s not going to ever break. The rest of the truck would be gone before this part messes up

[@3SonsRC]

Yeah I'm sorry, this is beautiful but I'm not really for Metal for the sake of Metal. Other things can be done to strengthen this area without adding 3x the weight, $350, and because it's ALL so rigid now the shock with be pushed elsewhere. It's not like the Arrma rigs where the HR bulkhead is small, the Xmaxx Bulkheads incorporate the steering, and right through the center of the chassis. Thanks for the video and breakdown but I feel this is not practical.

[@Bro_wdf_you_doing]

Bad for xmaxx...it needs to stay light as possible....seems to really nose dive with that added weight....long as you happy but definitely a no for me...I like my xmaxx to stay as much plastic as possible...keep up the great work 👌🏿

it have a very very hard nose dive because of weight on front

Lol I can break it. But as yrs of experience your getting too rigid, everything else will start to break then end up with a 50lb Rc , got a few decked out savages, the more bling the more worse the damage is. Hopefully it's under $100 lol. Don't want to know.

I think that will be bad for the xmaxx. It will take away from the xmaxx with more weight more likely to break the chassis.
