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 👍

[@Dankboi420]

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

i just bought this today and shredded the tires within the first 10 minutes of driving it its a beast

[@raisinsofpain]

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

[@Benji-lg3nb]

So you may notice that the tires on the Maxx V2 have like a white chalk layer on them... If you want to make them look darker and look more like well... A tire.. you can use a car tire spray that will blacken them and make them look brand new! I did that with my V2 and it really makes a difference, I highly recommend it!

[@LaRon351]

I just bought my first traxxas maxx from y'all this morning. Thanx

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Congrats LaRon! -Brett

[@williamperri3437]

Great video! Razor said he loves the durability of the 2.0 but the 1st Maxx handles better. Said it is more nimble and with shock tuning it wont flip as much. After seeing this video and how well it handled for you I'd have to go with the 2.0 for only $20 more. I can also say that I'm thankful Traxxas is finally really listening to the community and although I hate the way the Maxx looks Landing Big Air I believe they are going to resolve that in the near future.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

I saw that! Was a little surprised he didn't like it as much. He mentioned the steering being a little worse with the longer chassis and I agree with that, it does feel a little reduced, but I didn't think it was great to begin with. -Brett

[@williamperri3437]

Well, with the price finally being reasonable it's inevitable I'm going to get one at some point!

[@lanewhite6320]

I am curious about how the original max does handle I bought the max 2.0 I was late to the ball game🤣 I like the bigger trucks I actually bought the sledge sldges down at the moment the maxx is never gone down funny But yes I think I’m gonna try to buy my son the original max if I can find any of them if there’s any left because I am curious I would like to drive that truck I just would love to have both versions to be honest

[@jeremiahlozano8484]

Who tf is Razor??

[@williamperri3437]

@@jeremiahlozano8484 Razor RC. He’s definitely one of the best on KZbin. He doesn’t go as big as Duperbash, RC Dude 81, or Commander Astig but he still goes big and drives very well as well as gives honest reviews and is a great mechanic. Keep in mind the guy also buys practically every RC for bashing so he can do good comparisons.

[@rcshowoff5427]

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.

I love the reviews you guys do! Thanks you!

[@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?

[@angrymelon]

Love your conversion videos, very thorough!

[@OverBudgetRC]

@@angrymelon Thank you so much

[@williamperri3437]

I haven't driven the Maxx or the 2.0 because Traxxas has left a bad taste in my mouth with their history... but I can't deny that everybody says regardless of if this thing handles well or not it is one of the toughest RC's of all time. Did you see Razor RC review? He actually said he likes the way the original Maxx handles better than the new one! He said with the added length and width makes it's much harder to turn and doesn't handle as well. I want one but two things are turning me off: how horrible it typically looks when it lands, and Razor RC saying it is the worst handling monster truck he owns and he owns every single 10 and 8 scale monster truck! 😱 another thing is I've been doing this hobby for only about five years and as much as I used to like tuning RC's I don't have the time I once had but I must say I'm happy that Traxxas it's finally listening to the community and we didn't have to wait 10 for an update!!!

[@OverBudgetRC]

@@williamperri3437 I haven't driven either one either I want to but I can't afford smother RC right now. I have bought to many recently. And if anyone is wondering the 2 maxx I had for my videos I parted them out when I was done I didn't make a profit but I came close to breaking even. But for me I just wanted to make the videos. I'll check out Razor RC.

[@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

[@robertwren2289]

Just so everyone knows, this MAXX 2.0 is a fix for the Version one MAXX. Traxxas should pull the first MAXX off the market so no one else makes the same mistake many of us made buy it. The MAXX 2.0 is how the MAXX should have been made in the first place. Traxxas just doesn't want to admit that the original MAXX was engineered wrong. It wasn't a $50 upgrade, It cost $180 if you did it right. The Traxxas upgrade you're speaking of would still bend or brake the Drive shafts. They did make the MAXX right now, but they're still selling the Version one, and that's just wrong. For anyone out there wanting the MAXX, ONLY but the MAXX 2.0.

Definitely some potential for headaches here. I was imagining what's going to happen when somebody walks into a hobby shop asking for the "widemaxx" body; that could be either truck and they just might receiver either body unknowingly. -Brett
