REMO HOBBY SMAX - Small But Mighty

[@speckledjim_]

That was a relief, I thought we were getting a traxxas review, I can watch it now

[@aydinlutmergp4885]

I got the brushless version. Bash the heck out of it running on lip power and havent broke anything other than a rim in a whole year. Great deal and reliable af.

[@BoSSLeVeLs]

Mines still going strong a year later after seeing this vid 😝

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Yeah same for me.

[@andreibaseleres590]

Hi.. Is there a way I can send you a vid or two of the smax i built? Just a quick tribute to the channel that inspired me to buy one.. thanks!

[@douglasvines1221]

Have you tried the WL toys a979b it is pretty fast the motor is massive got it and the s maxx

[@Bathurst_1000]

What is the biggest lipo battery that I can use in this truck. Thank you for your help

[@troyguinn303]

Hey everyone! Who here has been in the hobby long enough to remember the Traxxas S-maxx XD I got all excited when my buddy told me about this truck, come to find out it's not a retro-remake. Still looks good for what it is! Just was hoping for a revised S-maxx, always thought that truck was underrated

[@jprckorner]

New subscriber I bought one of these and i love it got it up to 66.3mph looking for 90mph now lol

[@Charlie-wi7nd]

Asked for one for Christmas

[@ricacamille]

Im gonna get me one of those

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Sweet

[@Ziggiep09YT]

Same

[@raiderjetzs]

I used to have the XMaxx but I was driving it at the skate park and Broke so I need to buy me one of those smax’s

[@BrendonakaShanks]

I got one myself about 2 weeks ago. Its fun.

[@liquidalloy]

That reversible remote is a genius idea!

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+liquidalloy Clever indeed

[@-kaster--kaster-6090]

Got to admit the radio is pretty neat left and right nice 👌

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+-kaster- -kaster- yep, definitely

[@rocawjayz6fd20012]

im sure traxxas is gonna HATE this

[@rcplayground7]

Ha, ha ! Not false, I hate this model also !

[@bikrambhattarai5691]

RC Playground w

[@User22435]

I don't blame Traxxas for hating it, I do too

[@Alliethebooklover]

Why does traxxas hate this

[@Alliethebooklover]

Truck

[@electricnitrorc]

Great little truck 🙂

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

I think so too!

[@SHAYEN-cd5qw]

Your keeping very busy, yet another RC the SMAX it's a cool little truck should be a fun RC

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+Shayen RC Enthusiast. Yeah, it's fun being busy with RCs

[@Epic_RC_Time]

That backwards stampede on the manual at 2:36 haha!

[@julianmcclintock4763]

Thanks Steve - like your review style bro. That little critter looks like a cute display model for being next to an X-maxx (guess I need to add both to my small collection when I'm done buying Goblin Helis)

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+Julian McClintock thanks Julian. Appreciate your comments. Glad you like my videos. It's a great little car

[@nihaldhoke8658]

I loved it and traxxas also made it awesome as always does

[@rcnoob4747]

This isn't made by traxxas

[@MannyGunzz]

Why does my red light stay on but the green flashes fast n truck don't move?? Getting it started out the box..?

[@thatsmyrc]

This will work great for one of my 6yr old twins, she's left handed :-). I can tell she has difficulty with standard controllers at times.

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+ThatsMyRc excellent idea.

[@noeysfastrc3291]

That is one cool looking truck👍

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+Noeys fastrc agree, looks cool

[@andreibaseleres590]

Im sorry.. I was just reading through the comments for fun.. 1st, the people who asks for cars. Dude, if you cant buy your own car, then the hobby is not for you. 2nd, the haters. This is not a bad car if i can say so myself. I bought one and im building it for speed runs. This channel and the RC Saylors convinced me to buy it. Now it runs 85kph, and im looking to squeeze a lil bit mpre without affevting the handling. It really depends on how you look into the hobby. Just enjoy and have fun, whichever car/brand you have. Sorry for the long post. Oh, and you can sue companies even out of your local jurisdiction. Bandai just did thatto their chinese imitators. Cheers!

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Much appreciated brother. Thanks for the comment. Wow, 85kph! That is awesome! haha

[@andreibaseleres590]

@@RCTanksTrucks247 Thanks! Looking forward to more informative vids. More power to you and your channel!

[@ct.bproductions5872]

Just letting you know, you can fill the shocks but if they do leek you can order better metal shocks online

[@coolslc]

How much did you pay? It’s $85 now... looks really good

[@BoSSLeVeLs]

That steering is a good idea having L&R

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+Anthony McCarth definitely, very clever

[@michaellucre8249]

Great Video Steve, Looks like value for money at an average $100AUS, ordered 2 just for giggles. Maybe Traxxas should bring out a X-Maxx body for the Teton??

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+Michael Lucre awesome, congratulations. You will love them.

[@Theghostcloset]

Just ordered one of these! Can you recommend a good longer lasting battery? You mention lipo in the video, but I am so new to this, I am not sure where to look. I also don't want to explode the motor. Can you provide a link to recommended batteries??

[@kk5114]

great video...do you think is it okay if i use lipo batt 2s 25c...because li ion aren't so strong deliver current

[@douglasvines1221]

If you was going to recommend a 1/8 scale what would you recommend

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Arrma Kraton or Talion are fantastic

[@RCTeamAustria]

thanks for sharing!

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+RC Team Austria you're welcome, thanks for stopping by

[@areldcookie5581]

do you recommend this over the wltoys? 1/18

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+Areld Fish,Turtle yeah I think it is slightly better

[@Mobile-Game-Magic]

Buen Trabajo ;) eres un Crack

[@zacharylee2552]

Traxxas should do this using the mini summit or e revo as a base then putting mini x maxx wheels and a body

[@brb_02]

Love these vids man!

[@backyardmicrobiology]

is this thing tough?i want to do stunt driving on skateboard park but dont want to use my kyosho rally because spareparts is painfull $

[@douglasvines1221]

Wish I had the money to get the x max but I had to settle for the remo s max maybe one day I can get the big one Love the hobby just not rich love you channel to

[@shannonrichardson3405]

Douglas Vines do not buy the xmaxx8s it’s pinion and spur gear is junk! A waist of money! I bought a xmaxx8s and I regret it!

[@NordicRC]

Awesome little max. Great run-through. Good job,

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+Nordic RC Visions thank you

[@jn7309]

traxxas already made a truck called an s maxx it was basicly a 2wd t-maxx..

[@BoSSLeVeLs]

Just ordered one 😂

[@furiouswolf777voodoo4]

Cute but does hobby shop carry parts??

[@mustanguy102]

Straight ripping Traxxas off 😂

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+mustanguy102 haha yep

[@bananagang5129]

You'd better get a wltoys a959-b

[@eddiemartinez5379]

is it fast?

[@RCTechBattles]

nice unboxing vid!!

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+RCTech Battles thanks

[@alexzandruw5473]

Which is better? The wl toys a959 or the smaxx?🤔

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+alex andrew aguerra I prefer the smax. Can go over more obstacles

[@wyliebrogden1794]

If I had a nickel for every time I heard “good to see” but I’m not a hater awesome video

[@Jvnpics]

Smax mini or xmax mini?

[@Yaann.]

is it waterproof

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Nope

[@2manyhobbies74]

THAT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE A SHORT COURSE TRUCK LOL

[@tomv3361]

what about spare parts? Are they available?

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+WaterTester yep, check out Gearbest, banggood and AliExpress

[@gthesuperman903]

i was happy untill i saw it was not a traxxas. somone needs to make a body that looks like an x maxx but put that on a e revo 1\16! who agrees

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+GTHE_SUPER_MAN yeah that would look good

[@booneblake7804]

I was happier that it was not a Traxxas. Traxxas makes horrible, low-quality products and then turns it into good business with a large and easy to find aftermarket parts. I hate the quality of their cars, but they know how to market them better than any other RC company.

[@keane9021]

I have one smax but it’s red

[@timkole2002]

Its like a traxxas teton

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Yeah true

[@gsheverything_2716]

Wow, lil bro meets big bro

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+GSHeverything _27 haha, indeed

[@karenevans1144]

How much was it

[@flashtu]

The shocks are awfull replaced them with oil filled ones much better handling.

[@hungngo4790]

Top speed ?

[@nick92065]

If you are going to review a product show it in action. I hate these types of reviews. Show us how it preforms.

[@KF-hb5vx]

I'm trying to decide between this and the remo rocket. Does this have more ground clearance than the rocket because on remo website it says that the tires are the same height? Also they have a LVC right on the esc? Thanks again. My Evo R remo hobby is awesome. I cant believe the price I got that quality of a truck for

[@petya5314]

XD Mini xmaxx!😃

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+Rèfi Péter haha yeah

[@loganhemenway1978]

how much?

[@eddie2dope1]

Does anyone know what the amp rating for the factory/ stock esc is? Has anyone ever ran the smax on 3s lipo factory/stock safe and successfully?

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+eddie2dope1 not sure and I would not recommend running on 3s. I'm sure the magic smoke will appear pretty quickly :)

[@rctraxxas7448]

You will be my friend

[@alfredcodilla7043]

how much

[@areldcookie5581]

is it durable?

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+Areld Fish,Turtle yeah, still going strong.

[@stacboss1114]

yea traxxas be pissed

[@funkyt0wn776]

Can I get this if I’m in aus can I get a link pls?

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+Broon Tango check the link to the description.

[@趙家賢-r5g]

可惜台灣沒有販售!

[@gloriacalderon5308]

I have a smax blue

[@hooligans8866]

I want to see how it runs

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

I have videos of it running on my channel

[@adamfacey5555]

Apart from it looking like the xmaxx, that’s an incredible deal due to the fact that it has metal diffs and gears

[@iamverycoolyes4484]

what's the scale for x maxx?

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+GD InSiDious approximately 1/6

[@Darkoptix]

better than a traxxas lol

[@alfredcodilla7043]

how much dude

[@RCJOE]

well at least I know I can afford this and not the larger one, lol

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+RC JOE haha

[@roxannemcleskey8633]

RC s-max monster trucks videos and how small they are

[@coolkidtheking4838]

please check out the wltoys a959b or the wltoys a959

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+cool kid the king done it already.

[@joeycastro8591]

It's a shame that the Chinese make copies of everything we make in the United States and then to top it off it's not even good quality come on Traxxas put a stop to it

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Traxxas for example only design in the US, they make everything in China. All the major rc companies do.

[@whiteroseBR]

Did anyone see the Bandit, Slash, and Xmaxx shells.They are gonna get a big lawsuit.

[@shaneoetting871]

Hey you got to be more careful a KZbinr that I watch review the same product and they said the competitors name and got a community guideline strike

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Thanks Shane, yeah I say that. It was more what was in the video description and the thumbnail

[@rcmctool2918]

Steve, Can't find REMO HOBBY SMAX on the Gearbest web site......:O( ALL GONE....... :O(

[@epicengines2565]

[@timkole2002]

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+timmy tijd xmaxx for sure.

[@dorfsteen]

Hi Steve I hope you get this message I bought replacement aluminum suspension arms for my s-max and they did not come with the proper suspension pins the suspension pins that come with the car are coarse threads that go into plastic it requires find threads because the aluminum part is tapped with a fine thread in vain good is telling me they don't know what I'm talkin about it's just a confused f****** mess and there's no part number there's no part listed did I can find do you know anything about that if you ever tried to upgrade the aluminum suspension on the car I'm thinking I'm going to have to take the part and have it read tapped with the coarse threads in order to use it what shouldn't be happening they should have the fine threaded suspension pin but so far I haven't been able to get them to even acknowledge did they get the video I sent them to show them what I'm talking about so if you know anything about this could you please reply to me and for anybody that's reading this that has one of these things and knows what I'm talkin about have you run into this problem or do you have the part number for the proper Fastener that it's called a suspension pin not the pin that no the u-shaped silver pin that goes on the frame to hold the suspension on the frame no that's the other end the pin that holds it on to the tire hub it's called the suspension pin if you know the car you know what I'm talkin about so only things that come in the package properly threaded fine threaded screws to put the shock absorber on so they did that much they know that you can't attach this shock absorber without that fine threaded Screw but they don't know enough to send you the pins that go with it the suspension pens fine threaded so anyway anybody knows what I'm talking about please respond
