I just ordered a new Maxx V2, first ever RC car but your never too old right. I have been watching your vids and others but finally came to the realization that your bashing right in front of Little Bay in Rockport Texas, it was my home for 14 years. I still have two sailboats in storage down there. I just recently moved back to our land in East Texas which is why i'm buying a basher. 79 acres and a back hoe, I figure i can have some fun. That street you are on was my shortcut from Key Allegro to wallyworld. Can't believe i never saw you. Keep bashing and chive on friend.

On mine, I replaced the c-hub part with treal instead of the axle carrier. I figured I'd stick with the stock carrier since it pivots on the king pin and over time will wear. The OEM carrier is a lot cheaper to replace due to wear than an alloy one. With the treal c-hub, I haven't had one pop out since I installed them. Prior to that, they would pop out on me constantly.

Nice bro very nice. I've found that the front and rear hubs are weak (replaced with aluminum Traxxas ones), the C hubs are weak (replaced with aluminum Traxxas ones), I broke one of the plastic ones driveshafts (replaced with steel CVDS from Traxxas, but now sure if that was necessary), replaced wheel hex ends with aluminum ones from REVO 2.0 (so that the steel CVDS can work), replaced ESC with Max 8 ESC (much better punch and power), replaced receiver with spectrum receiver, replaced spur gear cover with gpm aluminum one (motor kept shifting), replaced motor mount with aluminum one (motor kept shifting). So yeah lots of expensive upgrades 😅

It's cool to see what upgrades needs done to help make it as reliable as possible. For me I like to do the bare minimum to keep the vehicles as stock as possible. The oil mixture you have in the shocks seems pretty well sorted. I usually mix oils myself. Btw, I have the hub extentions and I love them.

With the Maxx since I'm from New York I send it everywhere in the Bronx, and this one time when I had the plastic hubs I managed to snap the stock king pins that came with the truck 🤣🤣🤣. So since I bought the captured hinge pins I went ahead and treated them with more heat and used transmission fluid to cool it off and it's been a whole hell of a lot stronger since doing that with aluminum hubs. I wanted to ask you too, what tires would you recommend if you walk around the city for 3 hours, the proline trenchers 3.8 LP or the badlands you have on your Maxx? Let me know please 🙏. Love your vids!

I have no plans on ever getting a Maxx V2 or a used V1 at that, but i personally feel like that is a good platform for a Tekin RX8 ESC. I would in fact pick that ESC over a Hobbywing or a Castle Creations ESC myself and i like Hobbywing and Castle. Not sure why i would put the Tekin over the Hobbywing or the Castle. I just think it would perform really well in it.
