In my opinion it’ll be better if you get the v2 just because you don’t need to buy any upgrades to make the original max better

[@paulclancy2404]

you will eventually need electronics tires and wheels , and body so just be happy with max put arms on and be done ppl were saying this same price as the max , that can't be possible unless they mark v1 down

I don't have either so this is awesome for me....

[@turbocateyeS475]

@@TheMusicHeals.kjhjhhg better if you don't have either or don't want to do the work. I guess you could sell the V1 and buy the V2 if you didn't want to swap parts. I don't own either so I'd just grab the new one.

It’s available in the US, too. Traxxas just announced it on Facebook. I was seriously considering a Maxx until I went with the Outcast 6s EXB. Maybe down the road, I will get one.

Available in Belgium too. Sold in my local hobbyshop as “Wide Maxx”

Also available in Switzerland, but costs a bit more here for the 2.0 (though the difference is less than the cost of adding the Wide Maxx mod to a 1.0)

Kev you really need to award your new editor 👍 he’s gotten this video done only 3 HOURS after the stream ended! Great video like always :D

[@richardbursford2728]

The stock V1 maxx needs the wide kit to make it drivable and stop it flipping over all the time - if you don’t have a v1 this looks like a great option / alternative ! We were in Redfin last week Kev - get the Porsche out for a speed run mate.

This Maxx V2 is a good truck to buy for guys like me that skipped on the V1 Maxx. I think I’ll be getting it. I do love my Xmaxx. But it’s too big to run sometimes. I love Redfin what a cool little shop well stocked. Wish we had a local hobby shop. There is a huge one but it’s 4 hours away from me. I order online from them mostly. Cool your bro is helping you out Kev 👍

That is so rad the editor is your brother. I work in film with my brother and it’s absolutely epic! Stoked for you two. 💯

[@gregory9157]

Looks good but the first version was epic as well. So for a few cm extra longer chassis, I am not convinced to buy the version 2. Still love the maxx though 👍

[@gasolinediesel972]

You don't have to buy it. You can just upgrade your current version with the new parts. This is for people who don't already have a maxx.

[@AsurasWrath164]

You can get it in Germany, too! And they are not the same price. In Germany the widemaxx costs 60€ more.

[@nixxywixxy2495]

I love the Original maxx because of the wheelies and stuff. Can the new Maxx wheelie just as easy to wheelie?

6:00 Not only did we get a new Traxxas unboxing, but we got an editor unboxing as well. 😂 Great job! 🤘🏁🔥

[@nhtheintrovert5679]

To be honest, i like the V1 Maxx better, the wide maxx makes it look too wide, and the length of the V1 maxx is fine, and I also like the original body cover

[@rotten2209]

Wider stance = better stability Longer frame = better stability Looks isn't everything and some people actually take their RCs to the max, so having a L/W advantage is always better. Don't just try to justify having the V1 by knocking V2.

[@HappyValleyCrawlers]

Kev, one day I hope that you get an opportunity to come to Utah and check out the crawling/bashing scene!!! With Moab, Little Moab, The Cottonwood Canyons, Sand Hollow, and St. George I’m positive you’d have an awesome time and would get some badass footage for the channel!!🔥 Absolute huge fan mate, hope to sesh with you one day 🤞🏻 Thanks for another banger, just bought my new Maxx V2 yesterday!

[@SuperGokuSon]

Upgrade path of supreme bashing On my Traxxas Maxx V1 I have made a lot of alterations… Lets begin I did wide Maxx kit it and I also got 10mm extensions all the way around to it is 20mm wider than the standard wide Maxx kit. I replaced the wheels with the Redcat Kaiju set, they are slightly larger than the stock Maxx v1 wheels but much much better traction and makes for better plush landings, I also went with one size smaller gear on the motor to account for the larger tires. I also replaced the front steering nuchals with the Traxxas Maxx V1 aluminum upgrade for smoother more rigid steering. I also replaced the stock steering servo with a smaller and 3 times stronger also faster really makes it respond much better. I replaced the front and rear diff gears with solid full lock Hot Racing gears to make it full 4x4 locked. I replaced the main spur gear with the Traxxas Maxx V1 upgrade steal gear from plastic also the steel velocity drive shafts and then again with the hot racing much beefier keyed steel drive shafts. I also did the spring upgrades to stiffen the shocks and replaced the shock oil with all 80 weight. I also locked the and upgraded the center front to rear diff with the aluminum housing and putty locked the diff. i also got rid of the crummy cooling fans and upgraded to 40mm fans and 3d printer adapters to bolt on the stock fan mounts significant cooling improvement. And of coarse shew glue and floating tape body reinforcement. So far my Maxx is so so much better than stock its not even recognizable in stability and performance vs the stock Maxx. This was everything iv done so I don't think ill be replacing it any time soon. with over 600 USD in upgrades' Ugg I would love to get the V2 Maxx but need to get my moneys worth out of my first one.

[@jdsrcs8061]

That is one awesome hobby shop Kev!!! Lots of inventory to look at and buy!!!🤘🤘🤘

[@grandwaha]

The main question is, Why does every Traxxas bounce in the rear when landing? I have my Monster Mutt "Stampede" dialed in with dual dampening spring rate and appropriate oil and I'm super close with my Slash 4x4 Ultimate with springs and oil. But why from the factory must the chassis slap so hard? Just from a 3ft jump. Shouldn't It should come stock better tuned?

[@reecediers9601]

Video idea!!! Please do a vid on the upcoming supra that is going to be released on traxxas would like to see. So funny that Stemp is so hilarious, like to see more in the future. Love your vids and never give up on your passion. Can’t wait to see the next one!!!

[@bigboytoyzrc9258]

The Old Traxxas Trap strikes again🤣 Just in time for Christmas🤔🤣🤣🤣

[@robbryan3044]

"Only in the UK" isn't 100% accurate. It is Tyrus that is currently only in UK hobby shops...but, it IS available for pre-order in the U.S. directly from Traxxas, and it will soon be available in local U.S. bobby shops. As for 'when', that date still hasn't been released. What I suspect is that stock is already in LHSs, or on it's way to LHSs, and will become available "immediately" on the same date that Traxxas starts shipping the pre-orders. As for cuddles to the vehicle, I'm guessing (as with the 4Tec 3.0 vs 4Tec 2.0), the biggest change is the chassis pan, with the V2 using the same front & rear sub-assemblies. That means (again, as with the 4Tec 3.0) that a 550 length motor should easily fit.
