Traxxas E Maxx | 6s run!

A blast from the past! The Traxxas Emaxx makes an appearance here on the channel and it is a BEAST!!

[@gonzodetroitify]

Thanks Rc Reviews I adore this runs straight and tru🎯 sounds smooth as you like and still will keep speeds with latest rigs out here, ram my savage flux xl yesterday😎

[@rcreviews9894]

Yeah definitely, some of the older Rc trucks can definitely hang with today’s big boys! The savage flux is a good one from back in the day! Thanks for watching 👍

Mamba 🎵 bip bip bip bip bip bip 😍 Nice truck 🔥🦇

[@rcreviews9894]

Thanks, Emaxx is a beast and one of the original Titans, I still enjoy running it👍

[@gibmcilmoyle]

I got the exact Emaxx Brushless, it’s also silver. I’ve ran 6S since the beginning, I’ve bought it new not long after release and I’m still running the stock drive shafts and have never broke one, I do break hinge pins non stop though!!! 😜

[@rcreviews9894]

Yeah when I first got my Emaxx several years ago I pulled it out of the box, slapped to 3s lipos in it and fired it up, from a dead stop I gunned the throttle up into a wheelie and immediately shredded the two rear drive shafts, lol, so I had to go back to the hobby shop the next day and buy replacements before I could really give it a proper maiden run, over time I broke several more just driving like a maniac lol, so much fun, I still have it, man that truck is a beast 🤙

[@jasonrojas2176]

I still have mine , 6s brushless with all the telemetry upgrades !!

[@rcreviews9894]

Nice, yeah the Emaxx is a classic and one of the original Traxxas Titans from back in the day! It really is a fun truck to drive, I still run mine, thanks for watching 👍

[@Jobro_Ya_Know]

@@rcreviews9894 I still have one as well. It’s currently on bench like it usually is lol. I replace diffs like crazy on that thing. Replaced the rear then went one run. Front went out. Any suggestions?

I have the old brushed stock one now including a brushless system just installed so let the parts upgrade game begin! 😂 still a awesomeness truck love it , got a brushless e maxx project in a box in a million bits will be building that one with upgrades from the word go 👍🏻 🏁

[@Jackson-ml1nj]

the old e Maxx brushless n the old e Revo brushless were so quiet n smooth the newer stuff is noisy as hell in my opinion they still hold up great tho.

[@rcreviews9894]

Yeah the E Maxx is a classic, one of the original Titans, I still run it every now and then, it’s a beast 👍

[@booya6437]

The new ones are noisy because of the metal spur gears. I definitely appreciate the metal compared to destroying the plastic ones so much.

[@RustybeltRC]

I’ve always wanted to drive an E-MAXX

[@rcreviews9894]

Well an Emaxx is considered a classic, it’s a beast, hopefully you are able to test one out, definitely up there with the old school titans

[@jackran5465]

Nice truck man, I also have one, ran it once or twice and put it back in the original package 😎.

[@rcreviews9894]

Thanks brother🤙

[@jamobile007able]

are this old stuck brushed motor and use 6s lipo? or upgrade some other parts

[@Streisnd94]

What I improved on mine on after the other: Upgrade Shocks, RPM Shock Towers,Upgrade Driveshafts, FLM Hybrid Bulkheads, 1/8th Scale Truggy Diffs, FLM Skid Plates and swapped the Chassis. So original is just the a-Arms, hubs, the transmission and the receiver box 🤣

[@rcreviews9894]

Nice! Sounds like you did a complete over haul! My only beef with the E Maxx were the weak plastic driveshafts! I still haven’t got around to swapping those out, not too long after I made this video my motor seized up! So now she’s due for a transplant!

[@douglasbarr2636]

I have the optional center diff kit and handling is improved and there is less strain on the rear drive shafts.

[@rcreviews9894]

That’s good because the drive shafts are this truck’s weakness

[@Anthonygeraci1568]

What upgrades did you have to do after running 6s i have been running 4s 5200 80c and have had no issues few days ago i decided to put in my 2 3s 6200 100c and immediately killed the rear ring gear

[@rcreviews9894]

The first thing I would upgrade if I were you would be the driveshafts and the center shaft Traxxas still has those, you may have to order them online, my stock motor seized up so mine is down for now, not sure what I’m gonna throw in it.

[@melvinw.quinene841]

Never had the emaxx but reminds me off my tmaxx days, so did they basically just rename it the Maxx. I'm just getting back into it so just wondering

[@rcreviews9894]

The Tmaxx and Emaxx are pretty much the same truck except one is nitro and one is electric, the Tmaxx is still available today, the Emaxx is not

[@jmullerxx]

the maxx is the emaxx’s replacement. i got out of the RC world for years and once i went back to purchase one i wanted to get the emaxx brushless edition but noticed it was gone, so now i’m looking for a used one as well as a used erevo brushless edition to have and for a collectors sake!

[@brandonreid4511]

There is a MINT Emaxx with nice 6s system in it for what I think is a decent price asking less than 500$ Canadian with Lipos and everything. Might have to pick it up if it's not sold after I get my Mojave and Outcast. Thanks for the video bro 👍

[@rcreviews9894]

That is a good deal, considering you can’t buy them anymore, the castle system in mine alone is probably worth couple hundred

No I have not sold this truck, I still have it, although the stock castle motor seized up, so it’s more of a roller now until I replace the electronics

I had about $400 in upgrades on my emaxx before I could play with it without breaking on the 1st packs

[@Camshaft4]

What do you think are the best batteries for this truck?

[@rcreviews9894]

I may not be the best person to ask about batteries lol, I usually stick with Traxxas batteries for Traxxas Rc’s and Spectrum smart batteries for my Arrmas, any 3s battery with a discharge rate of 25c and up would do, assuming it will fit of course

Good review.

[@rcreviews9894]

Thanks 🤙

[@calebsrccrawlers]

Nice E-Maxx my guess is it probably has the plastic driveshafts for cost maybe, trying to keep it at that price point, what's the fastest you've ever driven it? I called my local hobby store, about my helicopter, it's tail servo has been reversed and it's got a gyro issue.

[@rcreviews9894]

Well this truck back in the day cost about 600 dollars, that’s pretty pricey for plastic drive shafts, most Arrmas in that price range come stock with metal drive shafts and big aluminum shocks, I haven’t been able to speed test it yet, but eye balling it, it’s gotta be going 50mph at least, that’s strange, how in the world did that happen? Did they know how to fix it? I usually call Horizon when I have an issue, to be honest I don’t really work on helis that much, not like I do my Rc trucks, I know basic maintenance and some problem solving but completely rebuilding a heli lol forget it lol

[@calebsrccrawlers]

@@rcreviews9894 for 600$ it better have metal drive shafts that was a pretty pricey truck, 600$ and it has plastic drive shafts, that's a WTF moment, ha ha ha. And 50mph that's pretty fast, I had the tail pitch controller break so I only had control over one of the tail blades and I wanted to see if it would fly being able to only control one of the tail blades, it worked but not that good. So I epoxied the part, made sure the bearings moved freely which they did and went flying, and I flew it till the epoxy letgo, and I was ok I can still hold a hover only being able to control one of the tail rotor blades and I only had like minute left on the battery so after that I was done for the day and I took it out the next day only being able to control one of the tail rotor blades and this time it didn't go so well. The second I spooled up the rotor blades the tail started spinning out of control. The piece that broke is the pitch slider that sits one the tail rotor shaft it has the two arms on it that connect to the ball links on the tail rotor blade. One of the ball link arms broke on the pitch slider which is how I still had control over one of the tail rotor blades, I only did it to see if it would work and I got over confident with the broken part. I probably should've stopped flying when it broke the second time. I gonna try to bring the helicopter in tomorrow to my local hobby store. I was gonna do a flying video with my helicopter too and now that's gonna have to wait a little while, ha ha.

[@rcreviews9894]

@@calebsrccrawlers yeah remember I told you to check those links on the tail, be careful man, the last thing you want is that thing to get out of control on you with those carbon fiber blades, I’m looking at mine right now and I know exactly what part you are talking about, sounds like that would be a easy fix, all you need are the parts, hopefully you get it up and running soon

[@calebsrccrawlers]

@@rcreviews9894 you were right, It broke in a hard landing when I had to immedeatletey land before a gust of probably a 20 mph wind did something, even worse the wind wasn't that bad when I got to flying field and towards the end of the last battery pack it started to pick up, it was a very easy fix but the gyro and the servo uhhh,. Ha ha ha that's something I can't fix because I don't have a computer radio to fix that. I would've called horizon hobby but It was easier to call my local hobby store, when I do the flight video I'm also gonna do a review as well. My blade 120s2 has a wonky throttle response after a couple crashes, so I'm taking that one in to the hobby store as well. I also need a new tail boom for it.

I’ve always wanted the Tmaxx 3.3, the Emaxx is good too but the weak point on the Emaxx is those big plastic drive shafts, they tend to shatter, especially when running 6s! Other than that it’s a great truck!

@@rcreviews9894 there's a lot of advantages to brushless electric setups more horsepower, torque, but with the nitro engine you get that monster truck experience. It's like the closest thing you'll ever get to a real monster truck imo.
