THE CATS OUT OF THE BAG! THE NEW TRAXXAS MINI MAXX!

[@rcdriver]

Just stopping by to see me run the Mini Maxx. My video guy forgot to push the record button on the camera when we were running. 🤣😭 Fun times driving with you again Mark. Great video!

[@MarkSantaMaria]

I was wondering why you didnt post that footage! You were right next to me!

😂 someone wont try to ask for a raise

[@macmccartney5760]

Your to much of a pro driver to let him flip ya, he just ended up flipping himself lol😂

[@earthcoloredeyes5043]

30 mph out of the box 😂 stop it! You know maybe 27.

[@SteadfastRC]

It was cool to see you in Marks video!

[@trailblazerfarms]

I'm getting one for sure . Maxx is my favorite platform

[@Jose-Ramos-Jr]

Awesome. Now traxxas needs to release a 1/8th scale buggy to answer the arrma typhon tlr tuned rtr

[@unorec1983]

If traxxas starts bring out rtr 8th scale race truggy and buggy they would be a game changer. I like tekno but traxxas has parts support on another level

[@J7evenRC]

They are! It's the new Jato buggy and it looks rad!

[@Storyracing387]

I agree 100000%!

[@django2467]

Don't hold your breath on that one?

[@Brayrfd1192]

They have the sledge destroying it

[@OGRCFanatic]

Ok now usually I’m a little cautious with the new Traxxas releases cause they’re usually higher priced. But if this thing goes 30mph and also comes with a Lipo included, I’m definitely down to grab one. I already have 3 of traxxas BL2s platform cars. The 4wd slash, and the 2wd stampede and rustler. Not only are they super durable, but fun to drive and actually pretty quick for 2s. Not everything has to be 4wd and go 50mph to be a ton of fun.

[@ΠαντεληςΜιχελης]

It really loves to flip over

[@idan678]

just like the 1/10 maxx

[@earthcoloredeyes5043]

Have you driven a Maxx? I’m sure a wide kit will come out soon.

[@mikes062]

It’s on pavement though, small cars don’t like high traction, just ask my mini LMT lol I bet it’s going to be a great truck and I can’t wait to see a mini Maxx Slash, $250 with a brushless system and a battery and charger, yes please!!

Looks great sadly probably means the 1/16 revo gets the axe next like the 1/10 did after the sledge

[@grandwaha]

I take my 1/16 Revo Everywhere I Go, I have it built to the point of Bulletproof.

[@schneider1112]

This Mini Maxx is what I wanted to see in an upgraded Mini Revo. The current drive train is simply too weak for the weight and power the Mini Revo has... I don't use mine for fears of breaking at any time.

[@mikes062]

@@schneider1112at least there’s tons of parts and upgrades out there for them! Just get it out and enjoy it, I’ve got a mini slash and it’s awesome! And I can’t wait to see a mini Maxx Slash, that will be awesome!! It’s also pretty cool it’s $250 with a battery and charger!

Traxxas is really overpricing their stuff now, but this truck seems pretty well priced considering it’s a full RTR with a battery included.

[@voodooreptiles3553]

Great video, this is top of the list for a first small rc and for sure the Christmas list.

[@5280Recreation]

2S is perfect. It’s not about speed, it’s about bash!

[@falcondragonslayer]

So long as it can wheelie and backflip with the BL-2S system (which it should be able to since I can backflip my BL-2S Bigfoot, which is 2WD) then I see no reason to upgrade the power train

[@MoistHandTowel]

Can't wait! Gonna place an order for mine tomorrow!

[@OGRCFanatic]

I really hope they have a pink or orange color. Those 2 colors are my favs. But, this thing looks awesome. No pink or orange option won’t keep me from grabbing one. 😂

[@dmac5916]

Traxxas NEEDS to make a new 2wd buggy based more on the slash platform, with bigger wheels and more suspension travel than the bandit now, even better would be a more realistic and plush ride like their desert truck. I would buy one in a heartbeat!

[@trappedsol]

Holy crap! Finally! Ever since i saw the mini quake at ihobby expo moons ago i always said why hasnt traxxas made a mini maxx yet?? Its here!! Yaaayyyyy

[@SilentSeventh]

Ahhh, the Traxxas/aftermarket upgrades for these is gonna be great

That is one of the local shops I go to. Good place and staff. I don’t race but their inside track is huge. Think they have a smaller one too but not sure.

[@PatricellisParadise]

As a guy who grew up in a haunted house, i get the irrational fear of seeing someone walking in the distance everytime im in a buolding alone lol

[@stevenpaulin448]

is it powerful enough on 2S to do backflips? or will we need to order the 3S hop-up parts right away?

[@butchmeister80]

Looks cool be good to see them running off road would prob be plenty fast enough 😊

What's up man! Fellow DFW youtuber here haha. I saw you last week at Hobbytown practicing for the Saturday race. Wanted to say hi, but didn't want to interrupt. Love the content, keep up the great work!

@@MarkSantaMaria dang dude! I should have, I just try to respect some of the more well known folks and let them have some normalcy. Hopefully I'll catch you around sometime tho, love the RC hobby as well!

[@arthopfer]

Looks like I found a grom replacement.

[@falcondragonslayer]

Not replacement. Competitor. The BLX Groms are $70 cheaper and offer a lot for that price. Although I dare say that the Mini Maxx is going to prove to be the better mini. It’s larger, build like a Maxx, and has a much higher capacity battery (the 1400mah that comes with the Groms is pitiful. I’m lucky if I get 10 minutes of run time with it).

[@Kevin-sw4vx]

I can't wait to get one

[@FRANKIEGBANGEMS]

I live in Carrollton, TX, know any good spots for speedruns?

[@rc4kicks]

[@owen8538]

Arrma should do 1 5 scale like x maxx tho using simple staff like on there 4s model s motor mount etc make it easy to work on

[@joseCalderon1976]

Nice, but is it going to drive better than my V2 Stampede VXL? I have that one dialed in. Very durable and pretty stable. We'll have to see. I'm sure that the mini Max will be even more durable 👍

[@DOGE_FORCE_47]

Perfect for my toddler 😅

[@Boltboy-kh7yw]

I heard a rumor that a vxl version might be coming in the spring...i dont know if mark can confirm it but according to a hobby store near me its definitely a potential option

[@adampaterson6784]

is this about the same size as a stampede or smaller?

[@falcondragonslayer]

Smaller. The whole point of it is that it’s a “mini” RC. 1/14 scale at the largest

[@WowoodogPlays]

Next is the jato (or bandit 4x4)

[@ujlj9602]

[@Mr_Macintosh420]

The losi mini t/b 2.0 come stock with a 3s capable system so safe to say its under powered 😂

[@rcfreak781]

Feel like the 1/16 e revo will get some drive terrain rework with these diffs

[@falcondragonslayer]

Or just discontinued altogether. Plus the diffs for the Mini Maxx are apparently slightly larger than the diffs for the Stampede/Slash/Ruster 4x4s, so the E-Revo would need a major redesign for that to work

[@T00LF00L]

The mini eRevo was too fast & unstable. How do these compare?

[@stuntmanrc9494]

Their like a 1/14 scale rcs. Tbh, if they are giving everything out of the box and 30+ speeds for 250, thats kinda good. Their main goal rn at traxxas is to basically try to get new people into the hobby, specifically kids who's parents do not want to spend a lot of money on an rc that wouldn't break in a matter of days

[@rhealgagnon1460]

To fast wtf iv never herd of that befor were the gell you coming from mini revo is perfect on power and speed need a beter chassi

Hope Traxxas changes the battery compartment size. If not good luck finding aftermarket batteries that fit without modifying it.

Well it comes with a lipo and charger so you are fine. Maybe not the best batterys ever but still, you are good to go

@@polarlicht4758yeah I know that but I’m talking about aftermarket. Especially if you plan on upgrading to the 3s. Or something with more capacity.

[@falcondragonslayer]

I think Traxxas should’ve done the demo on dirt/gravel/grass. That’s where these trucks really come into their element. Pavement is too high-traction for an HCG monster truck. Especially a 1/14 HCG monster truck

Sounds a lot like Rlaarlo Omni Terminator except the OT comes with 3S battery and center diff (not slipper).

[@itzzgraham]

Very depressing to see them pushing that BL2s system.. it’s definitely a step up from the brushed models that they offer, however they already have a mini VXL motor and ESC it’s kinda like the dumbed it down a bit..

[@falcondragonslayer]

I don’t think the BL-2S is going to be underpowered in this truck. Plus this way you can put 1/10 brushless systems in there, like the Hobbywing 10BL120. I’d prefer that over the limited options there are for small scale systems.

[@markmiles2665]

Is it going to be a little wheelie monster ?

[@falcondragonslayer]

I’m hoping so. The BL-2S system is enough to send my 2WD Stampede up onto its wheelie bar (as in the rear wheels aren’t even touching the ground and it’s just rolling on the wheelie bar wheels for a couple seconds) and I can backflip it off large jumps, even though it’s a 2WD. This truck is smaller and 4x4, so I think the BL-2S system will prove to be plenty powerful

[@jewes77]

Dope

[@therccelebrityspeedfresh5393]

I just talk to the Traxxas dealer Tuesday he told me if you put 3s on it you got to upgrade the center diff other wize it will blow it out

[@falcondragonslayer]

I’ll probably end up getting the center diff anyway. I’d take a center diff over a slipper clutch any day

[@Hellcat2040]

I called it I said at HobbyTown USA I said I want a mini EMaxx and I got it now

[@Fx4RC]

The scale on that Mini Maxx, isn't it 1/14 scale?

[@falcondragonslayer]

It must be. It’s 13in long with an 8in wheelbase. For comparison: My 1/10 Hoss is 20in and the wheelbase is 11.6in

[@lyricofwise6894]

LOL trying to make Gregs car flip, end up flipping urself

1/14 scale. My 1/10 Hoss is 20” long with an 11.6” wheelbase. This is 13” long with an 8” wheelbase.

[@zellegoodwin9046]

any word on the Jato leaks? saw pics of it running at that event. but only some fuzzy ones. the name on the side of the car 100% said Jato though. which is odd since it looks like a buggy and not the road basher that the Jato used to be.

[@williamoleary9330]

It’s not going to be “indestructible”. That’s not a thing. The servo will absolutely be the first to go even if you baby it so ripped the blank out and upgrade that immediately!

[@falcondragonslayer]

The 2056 in my Bigfoot lasted 2 1/2 years before it burned out. The gears never stripped in the original one.

[@paulmccarter908]

I'm sensing the true story untold, is the battery compartment is irregularly-sized and locks one into their battery system. Not like the hobby won't come up with options eventually.. but that stinks. So does having to buy the center diff as an option. Also, it's stance should be wide enough out the box..not needing an immediate upgrade.
