Traxxas Maxx 4S - TIRE COMPARISON - WHAT’s BETTER?? STOCK TIRES or PROLINE BADLAND Mx28s??

[@EnjoyLifeLikeaKid]

Love the way the Maxx looks.

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah it’s a sweet looking rig!!

[@aaronseger9089]

I really enjoy my Maxx, i went with the Hobbypark !/8 17mm hex pre glued tires and wheels on amazon. they are pretty good for bashing. they dont balloon as much as the stock tires and with the size do great in the air. well worth the $50 i spent. will be getting the badlands eventually. Also i have the Aluminum upgrades and steel drive shafts. its pretty durable now and takes abuse like a champ.

[@RCKnockout]

Nice man! Sounds like you got yours setup pretty good

[@DeRock401]

I like the e revo 2.0 tires on my Maxx.

[@RCKnockout]

Nice……personally I don’t want to go to 3.8s though…..I prefer the stock size tires

[@DeRock401]

@@RCKnockout oh ok. For big jumps I need the bigger tires. They offer more cushion for the hard landings.

[@kasperstasiewicz4965]

With the WideMaxx-Kit V2 I prefer the 3,8" Talon EXT tires on my Maxx 4S! The proportions are perfect in my opinion. Any 2,8" tires looks good on an Maxx 4S with the WideMaxx-Kit V2... Just my two cents Sorry for my bad English! Nice video! 👍🏻

[@RCKnockout]

@@kasperstasiewicz4965 no worries…are you saying there is a wider version 2 of the wide maxx kit?

[@watersidebashers.9792]

Great video good info on the tyres if you want to see what we get up to pop over and see are channel we love this hobby

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks man! I’ll have to check It out

[@watersidebashers.9792]

@@RCKnockout thanks man that would be great as we only just started out 😁

[@KentuckianaWindowElegance]

You're right man, the maxx needs the widemaxx kit. I turned mine into the v2. You should try kaiju tires, they look the right size for it.

[@RCKnockout]

I’m running the v2 sledgehammer tires on mine now

[@chaoticrc6114]

I heard there is 3.3 tires as well but u ha e to upgrade the hubs and axel like mine to 17mm . But im running proline badlands mx 3.8 tires ...here's a link 17mm Hex RC Wheels and Tires with Foam Inserts for 1/8 Traxxas Maxx Tmaxx E-Revo Revo 3.3, Arrma Kraton Typhon, Redcat Kaiju, JLB Cheetah Monster Truck Off Road Buggy Models(4PCS

[@RCKnockout]

The Maxx already comes with 17mm hexes though…who makes the wheels and tires?

[@keaginm2791]

I'm pretty sure that Traxxas actually makes a badland type tire for the Maxx. Pretty sure they're called Andacondas

[@miketheman4190]

Where can i get them?

[@RCKnockout]

Really? I never knew that

[@keaginm2791]

@@RCKnockout I'm not sure if they're meant for the exact truck but they have 17mm hex and they look just like a badland, they are part number TRA8973. Amain sells them

[@miketheman4190]

Sledgehammers! Was thinking about those. I just installed a whole set of 4 new tires I got from Amazon for $50 pre-glued. “Rc station 17mm hex rc wheels and tires 1/8 scale” So far so good. Love the look and feels good after only one short run on grass and pavement. They also add a little more width and height to the truck without a huge overkill tire.

[@keaginm2791]

@@RCKnockout You could also try either the 4s or 6s outcast tires, they are also like a badland

[@donnied5571]

VG Racing makes a set of springs that make the Maxx handle so much better.

[@RCKnockout]

Really? I’ll probably try putting thicker shock oil in before I try new springs…thanks for letting me know though

[@Smokey00]

try the 1/8 badlands with a smaller pinion :)

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks for the tip!

[@bambanggokil4477]

Good

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks

[@raed4915]

You need the low profile 3.8 trenchers.

[@RCKnockout]

I’d rather stick with 2.8s

[@Mike3LV6]

bougt the same tires cause bevore want take an arrma typhon and truggyfieing it. but then i was lucky and got some dollars so i have the chance to get the maxx. i give that tires for a good friend for his truck cause for me they are to small for the maxx.

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah they are a bit small for the Maxx

[@whimsicalcellbooster]

I took the belted badlands 38 … fun

[@RCKnockout]

Nice! You put mx38s on your Maxx?

[@whimsicalcellbooster]

@@RCKnockout Jep. Looks quiet beefy. The wheeliebar won’t help much. It looks like a tank now 🤣🤣🤣 not possible without Widemaxx Kit and steel shafts.

[@RCKnockout]

@@whimsicalcellbooster yeah once I break another stock driveshaft I’ll probably switch to metal ones

[@ed0c]

heatgun warm up tires. some people bake them in oven but stinks up house

[@RCKnockout]

You mean heat them up so they’re easier to mount on the wheel?

[@moesgarage1638]

The traxxas sledgehammer are the best tires for the maxx

[@RCKnockout]

What do those come on?

[@moesgarage1638]

@@RCKnockout there made for the maxx as a upgrade 8973

[@RCKnockout]

@@moesgarage1638 I’ll look into them thanks

[@Raptor-Jesus]

they constantly come unglued though. especially if u upgrade to 6s

[@RCKnockout]

@@Raptor-Jesus thanks for letting me know about your experience 👍😉

[@donald2818]

I’m not surprised you got glue all over the place, you’re a bit hyper. 😉

[@nickosvanickos8006]

you took the wrong badlands, for the maxx the correct are the 3.8

[@RCKnockout]

@@nickosvanickos8006 I used these ones cause I thought the 3.8 inch were too big for the Maxx….but the issue is the 2.8s are slightly too small for the Maxx lol

[@gearhead2017]

Yeah the stock tires are better

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah at least for bashing and jumping
