I love how you show close ups and explain everything, Mark. Best RC channel on KZbin. 🙌🏼

[@allthingsSXS]

Love the SuperMaxx! Pretty crazy to break a metal drive shaft. I have ad my Maxx end over end 100’s of times, broken many parts, but never a metal drive shaft.

[@maxxrc.official]

Love your videos! Did the super Maxx upgrade a couple weeks ago and I love it! I definitely had to re gear it because the motor was getting SUPER hot. It got to 277 degrees before I realized it! So I geared down to 16/54 and after a heavy bashing/ racing session it only got up to 193. This is without any cooling fins on the motor. I have chopped up and made the year racing heat sink fit, and I will hopefully see what the new temps are tomorrow with and without fans on the sink. 😁

[@never-stock-rc2968]

Yea mark you can get singles I've bought them before

[@rcmtb1052]

Olla!

[@derpomyzer]

I ran erevo 2.0 tires on my maxx with the wide kit for a long time! Super fun. I started breaking alot of stuff however.

[@MarkSantaMaria]

I sense that in my future also… hahaha

[@derpomyzer]

@@MarkSantaMaria Its totally worth it! Working on the trucks is half of the fun!

[@toolbaggers]

Those wheels make it look like a proper monster truck

[@richardsolomon7360]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who switched out for the erevo 2.0 system but everything else is still stock and trenchers in the back erevo tires in the front. Just had to do it after Christmas. Was just not enough power for me with the 4s. 6s oh yeah!!!

[@chrisparz8722]

You can get a driver in there. Mip bits for the win.

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Really nice set up

[@robr3]

What a unit!!

[@Letsgooutsidee]

Love your videos!

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Nice truck cool colors

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Nice tires

[@paulloomis7155]

Those are definitely some huge wheels ar tires!! It's going to look awesome!!!!

[@stonerrc4626]

Happy New Year!!! Mark and the RC Nation.. Man I would take that right back to the Traxxas store. Since it's rite down the road from ya.. I can't see that jump/landing causing that to snap.. If so those are some weak steal shafts IMO.. The wheels and tires look sweet. Might have to get them for my T/E maxx. That I built with a Revo 2.0 Trans in a Tmaxx chassis 😁. And a castle 2200 mamba combo.. its a beast for sure.. Suggestion when using loctite. Put a drop on a couple threads back not on the tip of the screw.. And give it a second to set up before install. The first few threads are what gets tightened into each other. So with the loctite a few threads back on the screw It will hold the screw from coming out. But won't be smashed/locked into the threads.And should be a little easier to break free bud.👍👍

[@The1Karking]

Awesome 🤩

[@big007bond27]

I've been running 6s for a year. Here are my tips: 1) re-gear to 54/20 with a metal spur gear (better for motor heat and tires). I think that alone will help save any tires on the maxx. 2) I've tried proline trenchers and DuraTrax Hatchets MT (Hatchets have some fender rub when they balloon) and they've both held up well. The Maxx V2 tire compound may hold up better than Maxx V1 (which I destroyed on 4S). Please report back on your results as I love the look of the new V2's. 3) upgrade to metal driveshafts if you are bashing. The platic ones may warp with that much torque, especially if you use self righting. These mods were on Maxx V1 with Wide Kit, I think it's equally applicable to Maxx V2. The car is sooo much more fun on 6S, enjoy the new beast!!!

[@scooter4699]

is the spur 54 and pinion 20?

[@Livlifetaistdeth]

SUPERMAXX! That's what rc's are all about. Tinker, break, build back better! That's perfect. TRAXXAS take note! Make that and I'll buy it!

[@RC_Berserker]

Problem is, dude didn’t build back “better” as the breakage made obvious... are y’all lemmings or do you have brains that think for it’s self??? I’ll never get you guys that just see some retardation someone else thinks is cool and follow the crowd and copy along, no questions asked. This has to stop!

[@Livlifetaistdeth]

Happy New Year Mark, Supermaxx looks killer!! I picked up a maxx last week, and really want to add the Revo parts!!! Cannot wait to see more on this build!!

[@msmeveryday]

Happy New Year! 🎉

Good evening great video

Enjoy the week

[@megaboom69]

That's an awesome rc truck. 👍

[@andyb9994]

Looks awesome....👍👍

[@zekRoman]

Sweet vids man! Been watching your most recent vids and now I really want a maxx. I already have a e revo 2.0 and an xmaxx but this thing looks so fun. Im going to grab a rock n roll maxx V2 today!

[@chriswalter3155]

Thats the color I want . Waiting for amain to get some in

[@Nevio_Cascione]

you can get 1 shaft

[@davidwhitten2005]

Came to the comments to say this. When I first got my X-Maxx one of the pins came out. They had them in pairs at my lhs. I think you can also just get the "rebuild kit for them for the small parts.

[@levifetzer8668]

Gotta switch to aluminum hubs with the steel cvds. It's a must

[@patriots46714]

Hey you should do amsr videos of you just wrenching on your R/C cars !

[@WaRcHiLdv1]

My wife drives a wide Maxx 1.0. I put the steel cv shafts, and erevo talons. We still break the hubs, or at least pop pins out of them. We gotta try those sledgehammers.

[@msmeveryday]

Your wife sounds awesome!!!!

[@hobokid907]

We want more nitro revo 3.3!!

[@AMM0394]

Easiest way to get to the driveshaft pins is to take the arms off. 5 screws takes off the bumper and skid, one for the hinge pin cover and then arms are out

[@legendsofgold4848]

This was a very cool video thank you for posting it. Your videos are the best. 👌🏻👌🏻

[@MarkSantaMaria]

Thank you sir!

[@RC_Berserker]

Lemming.

[@jebmooney4898]

Can u do more of the hoss and redcat

[@brianmcglasson8581]

can u do the 6s conversion on the MAXX V1? well without any modification. TIA

[@storyracing387]

Happy New Year y'all!!!!! 🤘🥳

[@stuckintrees4796]

There’s a saying for the issue that you had on the front axles the saying is. How much time did your shortcut cost you today?✌️👍

[@markheath4240]

I got to my set screws without taking anything off. Underneath corner of the a arm the driver fits right in all four sides.

[@andrewsumner5388]

Sweet!!!…

[@alexp6409]

"I gotta put some pants on" LOL...also, the E Revo tires look great on there, and I wonder how the stock shafts would have held up with a little bit more flex?

[@cristianbello4621]

Guess I’m going to find out I’m doing the same build but I’m going to test the shafts see how long. They hold

[@coltonmcdonald4323]

Let’s goooooooo🇺🇸

[@yyckey5022]

Maybe that's unlucky, caz how a expensive cvd from Traxxas broke off so easily, but my v1 GPM driveshafts last me for a whole year and it's still going, for the whole year I only broken one outer drive pin and is under -20c with a lot of snow on the ground. ❄

[@jordansrc8483]

Noice👏👍

[@msmeveryday]

👍👍👍

[@joeymello935]

Hey dude what gearing are you running? Just converted my v1 to a v2 and not sure what to use. Thank you for all the great videos and knowledge

[@mikeg1841]

Happy New Year Mark! I told you a long time ago to just keep on making videos and that you were gonna be huge and look at you now! I reminded you before that I was one if your 1st subs back when you were only doing this to work on your speaking skills because you didn't want to keep saying "um" so much public speaking. That and you used to show off your bad ass gun collection. These people just don't know you probably got more guns than RC's (jk, but close!). If RC ever goes X-Games then get ready for cable TV because you are our best face and personality in RC! You never know. . . Anyway you did go inside to your in-laws and not down to the bar. That commenter must be new because anyone who's watched knows you're a family man and your wife loves the hell out you and you her. Happy New Year to you and your family and let's do this all over again even better brother👍.

[@MarkSantaMaria]

Thanks for the kind words and years of support! Hahaha youtube doesnt like guns. Hope you had a great holiday!

[@evanrobertson3225]

Is your motor getting hot? I did the same exact swap you have done and mines getting pretty warm on the stock gearing and am wondering what the best gearing will be

[@monfor5]

Do you still think the metal driveshafts are more durable than the plastic?

[@ryanhutchinsonn]

Hey

[@HL-OOI]

Worst if drop small parts on the ground..😁

[@baymobbrcclub7426]

Hay mark i heard vitavon is making driveshafts for the v2 ,im probably going 2 order some for mine

[@charlesfoster6661]

Hot Racing telescopic hardened steel shafts are stronger

Could you do a Xmaxx hobbywing max6 build???? How to install and etc

can you make video of puting on erevo 2.0 esc and motor from maxx ?

I’m going to sub to Kevin just to make that less possible. At least kev is entertaining 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@justinreid8851]

Hey man on your widemaxx have you changed the factory shock oil? What weight? And also what's the stock shock oil weight?

[@ericstevens8225]

What do you clean your pitmat with??

[@jebmooney4898]

Can we also see the rustler

[@dionblueproductions]

Hi. I was wondering if you knew what's the difference between U-Drive Shafts and Constant-Velocity Driveshafts. Which is better ?

[@jbrc1322]

I was tempted to get a Maxx now that it has been revised, buttt I still can't bring myself to purchasing this truck knowing that I'm going to have to drop a couple hundo more on certain components that I feel should have been included from the factory (driveshafts, real 17mm hex, captured hinge pins, etc.) I mean, c'mon Traxxas, this is a 4s powered monster truck. Not to mention the servo and esc will probably need to go pretty quick too. Thanks for sharing the footage. Sorry to see your supermaxx didn't make it through it's first session. Probably just an anomaly.

[@chadriddle3517]

Where you get that tiny drill? And bits I like it

[@RCPropaganda]

wow broken drive shaft already. If you have to have a get a whole set that will def stink. Curious to see what it looks like broken.

[@jaceSHO]

the easy way to get to the pins is to take off the bumpers ..

[@himhonchoo]

Like mine better with the erevo tires I have the max v1 I don’t see it on the traxxas site anymore is it Discontinued or are they still selling them?

[@314biggy]

Im sure it’s gone! And I hope they don’t stop making the parts for it.

[@jeremymiller2340]

Do they sell just one or do you have to buy the whole four pack again?

[@olds97lss]

You can replace just the bone: traxxas.com/products/parts/8996r or get 4: traxxas.com/products/parts/8996a rebuild kit: traxxas.com/products/parts/8651 stub: traxxas.com/products/parts/8653 cup: traxxas.com/products/parts/8951 I suggest you move the shocks to the outside holes. On the inside holes, they over extend and you will break the output cups in a crash. I busted 3 of them running backflip lp's on mine. I also bought some 16mm ID bearings, cut them apart to use the inner race as a bearing sleeve just to beef it up anyway. www.dropbox.com/s/to1peuij2qzkbes/2021-0810-maxx-16x35x11bearing-diffCupSleeve-and-BrokenCup.jpg?raw=1
