The NEW Traxxas Maxx 2.0 WideMaxx Monster Truck

[@paige2732]

I like that traxxas stays with what they build. And don't discontinue trucks in a year. Even if they upgraded the maxx you can still get parts for the old one

[@michaelgraham2943]

Yes sir just got done restoring my 25 year old Tmaxx was no problem getting parts 👍

[@raisinsofpain]

Would love the see a Maxx 2.0 Vs E Revo 2.0!

Man this truck freaking rips. I’m starting to consider getting into this hobby and get one of these 🥵

[@27Zangle]

Did you ever get into it? I've been into RC for a long time and some of the most fun is going out with friends and family to bash / race.

If you wanna start rc I recommend getting a traxxas slash 2wd it’s cheap and good for beginners

Awesome video!! I recently got the V1 with a free widemaxx kit from my LHS. First thing I did was play with wheel combo's and the Revo 3.3 wheels fit great on this truck.

[@frankakers397]

ybeen looking st all the vidson the new wide x-maxx & this is the defining one to persuade my purchase FOR it. CONCISE & to the point! THS IS THE BEST OF ALL, especially w/ the final mention f only $20 more than the regular X-MAXX. Great job!!!

[@grantyoung8526]

Bingo! I started with a stampede XL-5 as a kid and all I wanted was a nitro. Years later 3 nitros later and settled on a Maxx v2. Done with the hassle I just want to charge and go 😂😂

[@koi3532]

Aloha, great honest review again! I was so close to a Rustler 4x4 VXL, Brett you set me back another week in research…

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Shoot. Rustler 4X4 VXL vs Maxx 2.0? That is a tough one. They are both beasts in their own way, one a little bigger and more capable in rougher terrain. Bigger trucks need more space though, bigger tires cost more and 4S LiPo's cost more than 3S. Not a bad decision to have to make; you win either way! -Brett

[@RobertNES816]

The rustler 4x4 is an animal! I have one and a v1 Maxx. They're both awesome trucks.

[@DUNGSTA]

Which one requires less upgrades and better on grass?

[@RobertNES816]

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Interesting! That would make for a great comparison video. With your Maxx overheating, did you change to a larger tire diameter? Is the motor heatsink fan still working? Are you letting the truck cool after driving, before driving again? The Maxx 2.0 comes geared down 1 tooth compared to the original Maxx so I'm really surprised to hear about overheating. -Brett

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Yeah, they've served us well. They're very flat and rigid belted tires, so they stay flat the whole time. We've only used them to bash around in dirty parking parking lots, but performance was always good and much improved over a nobby tire on that surface. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies Cool. Is there a specific Sweep Racing model of wheels/tires that are fit for the Traxxas Maxx?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

@@flhandster4395 No, they only offer the one size, with 17mm hex. Have you checked out 1/8 buggy tires? It's another on-road option with shorter tires that are more narrow. www.amainhobbies.com/jconcepts-speed-claw-belted-tire-premounted-w-cheetah-speedrun-wheel-white-jco3113-19/p1126937 The Sweep tires are larger diameter, so it's like gearing up the motor. The 1/8 buggy tires are shorter, like gearing down the motor. In either case, you may need to re-gear the pinion gear once changing tire sizes to keep the motor/esc from overheating; it just depends on your driving style, how hard you drive, the surface you drive in and the ambient outside temperatures. -Brett
