The New Traxxas Mini-Maxx - Review !!

[@soon2bboosted]

It does 50 mph with a 3s for about 3 run bys before shitting itself and breaking. Is not 3s capable without hundreds of dollars of upgrades. Just watch everyone elses video. They actually did the upgrade. Not one survived. Grom blx now the king.

[@tenszort7806]

Traxxas and Arrma both are keeping it hot. I have both brands and love them both. Man we got Arrma, Traxxas, Losi and Redcat in the house. I enjoy the hobby. People don't know how to enjoy life.

[@ParkflyersRC]

@@tenszort7806 Ty !!!! This was the best reply to any of my videos yet. This is the same attitude I have. I wish more piper will join us !! I get frustrated because when people brand bash it hurts my business a lot !!

[@soon2bboosted]

Traxxas upgrades for the mini so far are same price as full size. Yay traxxas. This coming from Traxxas only owner. Only non Traxxas i own is new grom blx typhon. That is better than this. Wait for v2.

[@michaeljnewton]

Groms jump better for sure, especially the Typhon. The mini Maxx looks like it jumps like crap being so nose heavy with little air control. I have a sensored system for mine (when it finally shows up) that I hope will help with that

[@tenszort7806]

Arrma Fan Boy here. Yeah I paid in full for my Traxxas Mini Maxx last month. 😂😂😂

[@sosoapy8154]

Yes, agreed center diff helps a lot. It helps more on landing than taking off jumps as let say your front or back wheels hit the ground first all that torque is being transferred into the center diff then the opposite front or back and saving your gears in the process

[@shaunescarlett.1]

I was fortunate to get one over here in the uk, absolutely love it, Great video buddy 🫶🏼

[@ParkflyersRC]

Ty for Feedback !! Appreciate that ....cheers...

[@Schmidt3850]

Truck seems to be pretty powerful with that 2s system. But l need 3s power to live up to my expectations. Just have to get the metal center diff upgrade as well. Welcome to the world of Traxxas. Buying a RTR truck and then having to dump 200$ in upgrades into it.

[@JonnyJetson754]

Very nice 💯🚘 Im a big fan of your channel always great insight and Rc fun

[@ParkflyersRC]

Awesome thank you!

[@Backupplan94]

I’m hoping that they consider a mini XRT. I love my big boy one 😁 I like how you go the extra mile to point out the Arrma fanboys haha! ….because I’m one 🥺 But I think it’s great to try out all the different offerings from each brand! 😁

[@babupranav]

i probably wont be getting one but competition is good and anything to bring people into the hobby store is a plus!

[@myharryface]

Looks fantastic! I’ll pick one up in the spring. Maybe they’ll ship a VXL version?

[@andersmalmgren6528]

Bought a HPI Savage XS for my 9 year old son a while back. The design seems much more solid than this one. Maybe you can compare the two?

[@scarifrougeone7225]

Let’s go! Great introduction video for the Mini Maxx Marc. Totally agree great value with a well established Maxx brand. The orange and black one is great looking. Any upgrades for it when it releases before shipment? Thanks for sharing as always my friend. 🏁🏁🏎️⭐️⭐️🇺🇸

[@frankiep2314]

Awesome update. Can't wait to get mine it looks awesome and it looks fun thanks and stay safe ✌️

[@CANNINGRC]

I will definitely buy it 🎉🎉

[@sosoapy8154]

I like the size. The standards for rc should be 3s not to mention this is a bit bigger than grom. It’s making Traxxas look bad that arrma can do it. Traxxas said to upgrade the center diff if youre running 3s. I’m sure everyone want to go to 3s so we are looking at 450$ for a 3s mini maxx. I like Traxxas but they’re too expensive. I’m so thankful that Arrma and other brands like Rlarrlo are around. It’s making Traxxas to come with new things and most importantly price cuts. lol just look at Rlarrlo rog1 it’s 150$ same size as this

[@IMGONEIN60]

Great info Marc👍🏽👍🏽👊🏽

[@ParkflyersRC]

Appreciate it!

[@wyldebill7248]

Any word on possible Arrma 6s or 8s release this week 😁?

[@zip-tieracing4307]

Just to let you know the center diff from the 1/10 scale cars is the same you just need the 47 tooth spur .

[@raptor6799]

No drivetrain problems as been designed to cope with their 3s system? I’ve watched a video where gears in rear diff stripped 3 times… never had that issue with steel GROM diffs which are standard in the new 3s ones.

[@ParkflyersRC]

I’m going to make a follow up video. Just wait.

[@kirk0respite]

Need to make a widemaxx kit

[@ParkflyersRC]

I agree !!

[@sosoapy8154]

I think I’m going to skip this one and get the maxx instead(400$ baby used) Saw a video of someone bashing this already and body keep popping off bummer…

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

Underglow?! SOLD!

[@ParkflyersRC]

Lol

[@1980VINZ]

Very tempting unfortunately for me I don’t like these minis but I have to say this is the first time a big brand designed CORRECTLY a mini basher. This is a real mini Xmaxx. Good job Traxxas ! Btw I saw the Christmas big price drop from Traxxas on Xmaxx Belted and Ultimate in USA (and other models), that’s a big deal I envie you guys !! (I’m French, USA only😭) That’s a good end of year for America since few days ;] 🫡🇺🇸

[@ParkflyersRC]

Thanks for sharing!

[@skaterg807]

The mini Maxx slash 🤩

[@chrisryder4709]

I say wait till the upgraded version comes out ,just like Traxxas has done before

[@falcondragonslayer]

I love my Mojave Grom and will be upgrading it to brushless, but I think this will reign supreme in the mini RC market. It’s expensive, but for the extra $70 over the BLX Groms, you get a larger truck with a 1/10 power system and a much larger battery (3500mah is insane for a small scale. The 1400 that comes in the Groms is pitiful. Even with the brushed Grom, I’m lucky to get more than 10-12 minutes. And that’s not even running it hard). I will (hopefully) be getting a Mini Maxx (depending on when my hobby shop is able to get them) and I think it’s going to be my favorite small-scale truck.

[@GeorgeHarmon-m3l]

You sound like Mark from Parkflyers.

[@ParkflyersRC]

Ty for your feedback !

[@TMIVRC]

Love arrma but this does look cool but rather get a xmaxx love the video mark keep it up!

[@ParkflyersRC]

Thanks for watching!

[@gamedogrc]

Great Video Review. Im just over traxxas at this point. Nothing bad to say . Just done. 410$+ for this car after you buy a 3S velineon System to add. My Rog 1 is already 3S for 150$. SMH

[@ParkflyersRC]

Glad you’re enjoying the Rrlarlo. Just a heads up. If China has its way by getting rid of the middleman and selling everything on AliExpress, direct to consumer, you will not have a middle class in the country any longer. This is a fact, don’t get emotional and respond in an aggressive way just let it sink in a little bit. American design products in my opinion are far superior and definitely worth more money. If you wanna go ahead and save a little cash, that’s not a problem I have no problem. I hope you enjoy the product.

[@gamedogrc]

@ParkflyersRC i enjoy chinese rcs until they break past the point of me wanting to fix it. My hoss is retired becuse it was dicontinued and my 2wd rustler is a dud. I stripped it down to a shell. Im not a brand loyalist but traxxas is too expensive. They break just as much if not more than any other brand. Id rather have traxxas cars but the business practices are not good to me. They count on people being trapped in their ecosystem. The mini maxx should at least come w a tqi w gyro but yet they put basic tq radio in it. No emotions involved. Everyone entitled to their own opinions. Now when i retired my hoss and did all the fancy upgrades it was money well spend in restoring it but spending lots of money to make it more durable is too much for me.

[@ParkflyersRC]

Ty for your feedback !!! Warm Rgds

I get comparing it to the grom due to size but it’s not even close price wise..it’s double the price lol

[@mattster197]

They better update their verbage so people stop thinking its upgradable to 3s as is. Lot of upgrading needed or you are blowing diffs.

[@Paul-wz1tm]

Im on the wait list in Eastern Washington

[@macmccartney5760]

Really establish them as a big company lol😂 Traxxas is the biggest company. You made me want one and I didn't want one at all...

[@ParkflyersRC]

I think it will expand their consumer base “DRAMATICALLY” is what I was trying to say. The value to performance ratio will allow this product to enter the toy market. Toy market is Much bigger than hobby market. So to put more precisely … this product will give them even greater market share.

[@mikeh4924]

Traxxas website says $269. Is it normal for their vehicles to retail for less at the actual store than the website?

[@jd111949]

Thats because they sold so fast the have to air ship them from Taiwan and the extra 20 is for shipping fees so the local hobby shops dont lose money... When they are caught up and are able to ship them by boat the price will come back down to the 249 mark.... Thats how i understood it anyway ..

[@triv7252]

hottest on the last 25 years?? give me a break 😂

[@ParkflyersRC]

Yes. It’s my “hottest selling product”. I said selling !! I have never sold anything on my website that quickly. Listen to my words.

[@MuscleAKAOzzy]

bro you acting like you work for traxxas ...its just a mini maxx relax 😅 grom as shits all over the mini max ...bsck end sags like a granny ....grom 223s is faster on 3s ansmd smaller lighter and half the price ...just relax traxxas fan dad😂

Cool by Traxxas 😎

[@ParkflyersRC]

Thanks 👍

[@JohnSmith-ef8nr]

Only 2s, no thanks, I'll get a Arrma grom 3s for less money.

[@falcondragonslayer]

2S is the sweet spot for mini trucks. I have a Mojave Grom and love it, but can say, without a doubt, that it would not handle 3S brushless at all.

[@JohnSmith-ef8nr]

@falcondragonslayer I'll probably only run 2S in the mojave grom blx, but it's nice to have the option.

[@falcondragonslayer]

@ Personally I’ll take both. I plan to upgrade my Mojave Grom to brushless, and I’m gonna get one of these.

[@JohnSmith-ef8nr]

@falcondragonslayer I want to get the Senton V4 BLX when it's released to go with the grom, the mojave 4S is a bit big for me as its not 1/10 scale. I have a 1/5 scale HPI 5T, not used in years because it's too big and heavy.

[@ParkflyersRC]

Typhon 222 BLX is coming soon. It should be awesome ! Spec wise it looks promising. Full review coming.

[@CanadianCrawlers]

Well...I think im selling my Typhon grom 3s..

Mini maxx with 3s destroys rear diffs.

[@jeremycravens6973]

You make it sound like traxxas split the atom with this car. It's a damm small scale toy that probably drives like a concrete block! And from what I hear they aren't going to be available. Be glad when this small scale fad dies out!

[@ParkflyersRC]

LOL...nah...People love the little ones. Inflation caused this. bidenomics...

Small scale isnt going anywhere. Go to ur local hobby shop and use their demo model the truck is fantastic far superior to the grom

@@ParkflyersRC ​ Typhon Grom on your site is $139 ($140 for argument. $280 would be doube) Mini Maxx is $269 MSRP ($270 for the sake of even numbers) its $10 away from being double. Its not fare to compare the mini maxx with the Grom 223 BLX. the Mini Maxx is not even close to a BLX brushless.

Speed is far from the most important factor when it comes to comparing small-scale RCs.

[@Diaszurana]

The Typhon grom blx is also very durable and has amazing handling, too

[@falcondragonslayer]

@@Diaszurana But not exactly a great basher I wouldn’t think

[@Diaszurana]

@falcondragonslayer Nah, it's a good basher, too. My 11 year old daughter has spun mine at speed into a curb several times, and it hasn't taken any damage yet. I'll admit that it's not great in grass because of the low clearance, but that will change at least a little when I swap on the proline tires. That being said, I pre-ordered the Mini Maxx on day 1, and I can't wait to get my hands on it. I don't have brand loyalties.
