The X-maxx is back! Hobbywing Max6 combo install and test.

[@SpeedSyko]

I would stick with stock tires for sure. I was running belted tires and there cumbersome and causes suspension breakage. Fun video! Love it!!!

[@rccrazy]

Again, totally agree and I like the fact that the stock tires balloon a little, creates more centrifugal force when jumping, much better control!

[@robschierbaum]

Sweet upgrades my friend. Nicely done.

[@rccrazy]

Thanks😉👍 Love these ezrun combo's👌

[@renercadventures]

Great upgraded and Installation my friend,cool running more power😍👍

[@rccrazy]

It is very powerful now but still need stock wheels, more backflips😂 Thanks Rene 😉👍

@@rccrazy you're welcome my friend 👍😊

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

Runs sweet man, get a couple fans for that motor though 👍 do you use cloth tape on your bodies? i do now to make em last

[@rccrazy]

Cheers mate😎 Yeah I got a fans organised and no I didn't strengthen this body, I probably should have although it did last a long time, the next one I will for sure!🤘👍

[@apexstudio4657]

Nice upgrade! 👍👏

😁 had to be done, really missed my X-maxx. Thanks😎👍

[@RAY-1984-rc]

Hi there good too see your video just wondering if you are still using the same gearing and what is your settings on your esc thanks ray

[@rccrazy]

I stupidly go rid of my xmaxx a while ago. Sorry mate

[@bansheebandithot350]

It is the ultimate basher . Nice vid 😎👍🏻🇬🇧

[@rccrazy]

Oh yeah🤘 They really are top of the game! Thanks😁👍

[@rcgoose1169]

Badass man I love your videos and I got the vxr Cobra because of you and now I can't wait to get the x-max how's the ankle I've caught myself a couple of times with my speed Rustler LOL

[@rccrazy]

I really appreciate that, thank you so much😁 Im very glad I am helping even just a little, and im glad you are enjoying my vids, oh and my ankle is at the itchy stage now🤣 You'll love the X-maxx! Thanks again🤘👍

[@austenchaney4517]

Great video, Where did you get your pinion gear from?

[@rccrazy]

Thanks buddy🙂 I got the pinion from Hobbies Direct, Australian store

[@wippip]

I’ve had my x maxx for 2 weeks and had way worse crashes. I still need some practice 😂

[@rccrazy]

Yeah I still crash even after 15+ years of practice😅 As long as you having fun😁👌

[@Lithium023]

Is the shaft on the motor the same size as the stock motor shaft? It would be cool if it was so I could use my stock pinion.

[@rccrazy]

No it's not sadly, they have 8mm shafts but there are a fair few options in 8mm pinions. For a motor like that you would need around a 29t pinion anyway, would be quite slow I'd imagine with stock gearing🤷‍♂️

[@Lithium023]

@@rccrazy ok thanks 👌

[@ChrisCrawford-he2dp]

Great shots of your truck fun to see.

[@rccrazy]

Thanks mate👍 Sadly I couldn't afford to maintain it so stupidly I swapped it for another car, it was only a rolling chassis though, no electronics so I didn't loose too much.

[@meanf1502]

If you watch a traxxas video of the xmaxx their tires don't balloon at all power of editing I guess

[@rccrazy]

If you mean the stock tires then I can say 100% they balloon like mad!

[@Dickson219]

That motor is actually overkill bud. It has plenty power to pull that light plastic truck out of a nose dive but looks like you have belted tires on it. Put the stockers back on it and that thing will manipulate in the air super easy. I ran my Xmaxx with just a Max6 for a while and then I when the shit traxxas motor finally went out I went with a hobbywing 4990 size can 1650kv motor and you can’t get a better setup than that. You go putting those those big 56mm can motors and Max5 esc in a Xmaxx and that’s just way too much weight and too much power to even have fun with the truck.

[@rccrazy]

Saying it's overkill then saying it won't flip because of the belted wheels doesn't make sense. Wouldn't a overkill lift the nose of as you say a "light plastic truck"? It was a great set-up and had plenty of air control on the right size jumps. But it doesn't matter anyway, I no longer have it and will probably never be able to get one again.

[@offmymeds9621]

Good job nice clean build! It’s a beauty for sure. How much more power and speed is it compared to the stock system? Looks fast 💨!!! I just subbed 👍

[@rccrazy]

Thank you so much😁🤝 I actually got the brushed version because I had the brushless system already, I just needed a chassis for it and the VRX cars have always looked interesting to me so I thought why not😅 I think the brushless version would do about 60kph or a bit more on-road. Thanks again for the sub👍

[@maximumrc5466]

thanks for shoutout you helped me get from 12 to 16 subs in 1 day

[@scottporter4409]

G'day mate I'm trying to get the same setup as yours and I am having problems gettingy gears to Mesh with that gearing

[@rccrazy]

Did you remove the positioning pins from under the mount?

[@jacksrc2670]

that is like a bulit

[@rccrazy]

Very fast for a huge truck! Hopefully a fan or 2 keep it nice and cool😁👍

[@timallen6035]

Those XMaxxs are beasts. You gotta be careful though, they can hurt you bad.

[@rccrazy]

They sure are beast's, and they sure can hurt! I have a decent scab on my leg now, my own fault 🤣

[@DeRock401]

Already have a max 6 in my xMaxx. I’m debating on getting this 1100kv motor or the 800kv but if I get the 800kv I need to get the max 5 which I kinda don’t want to. What do you think

[@rccrazy]

I definitely like the 1100kv motor but I had a 910kv motor in it for a while and it was a BEAST! Same as you though, I needed a max5, I actually fried a max6 because I over geared it just😭 The 1100kv in my opinion👍

[@SpeedSyko]

Perfect! Not overpowered! Great system!

[@rccrazy]

I completely agree! With a decent size jump it'll do a double flip but at the same time perfect for bashing this smaller stuff👌

[@gonzodetroitify]

Hi Saul were his shock stock on this bash Seems very supple for sure 🎯🥳 I think that combo hugs the xmaxx very well it’s not overpowered one bit very comfortable in delivery

[@rccrazy]

Yeah I love the 1100kv combo for the X-maxx, as you said it's just enough power while still very efficient👌 Stock shocks they were, going to need a tune up very soon though😅

[@joelasher6281]

What gearing did you go with to keep it cool. I'm putting this combo in tomorrow and I have a 30t pinion with a 46 spur. Contemplating getting a 54 spur . I would prefer to not have a fan on motor.

[@rccrazy]

Yeah I was running 30/50 and it was getting hot so I swapped out both to 29/54 and it's got plenty of speed and it's much better, stays heaps cooler👌

[@brayden5888]

Can you run the stock gear cover?

[@rccrazy]

I don't think so, im pretty sure the 29t pinion is too big for the cover.

[@brayden5888]

@@rccrazy ok, do you recommend the motor? Are there any downsides to getting it?

[@rccrazy]

Highly recommended👌 A heap more power but do you need a 56 series motor mount. No downfall apart from not having the cover on, but I wouldn't run this motor on the stock esc just incase!

[@yuding237]

Just asking, I just got a Max6 and I just installed it, and I don't know why, I have problems with reversing, when I reverse the transmitter, the red light turns on on the esc, means it detects the signal but its not moving backwards, and only reverses sometimes when I very aggressively reverse my car, do you also have such a problem? Or do you know how to fix it?

[@rccrazy]

I do not have this issue. Did you calibrate it before running it for the first time? That's the only thing I think it could be if its a brand new ESC.

[@yuding237]

@@rccrazy yes I calibrated it and it's brand new

I'm really not sure what it could be🤔 Are you still using the stock radio system (controller and receiver)? May just be close set steering trim🤷‍♂️
