Yea, really the most detailed video out there. My son has been wanting to pull his Maxx apart and clean everything up and to check on everything. I had him watch these two video’s as he did it and just left him alone. After a couple of days he was done and everything was great. Thank you very much!

@rcguygarage Жыл бұрын
The discoloration is the friction material of the gears and components. Similar to an oil change in automotive. No need to change at that point as the 20 mill still has more service life to give. It's like giving an oil change every 500 miles

Just got a Maxx! In general, how often should I be doing this? By this I mean how often should I at least take this apart and clean / maintain in order to make sure my Maxx is in tip top shape
@danielboon87213 жыл бұрын
It kinds depends on how much you run it, do you run in a clean environment or do you run in sand, water, mud. If you don't feel you run it daily or even weekly then either do it after a year or if that makes you too nervous to wait that long then do a partial break down and see how dirty things look as you work your way in there. If things don't look too bad then reassemble and wait a little longer. In time you'll get an idea how often you need to do it based on how you run your rig. I'm kinda busy these days so I'm good with annually, heck I could probably go even longer.

@Oddish083 жыл бұрын
Does a centre diff come standard for the maxx? The way mine drives I can’t imagine it does.. On the Traxxas website it describes ‘Torque-Biasing Center Drive’ which I assume is it.. however that seems to be the trademark name for the Xmaxx replacement part rather than the accessory centre diff part for the maxx (which again confused me as it’s listed as an accessory and not replacement). Thanks in advance!

@@rcguygarage Thanks for the prompt response. I am sold on the Maxx in regards to design, performance and durability departments, however, handling... I think for the price tag it should included what Traxxas calls the Widemaxx kit. That is really what is holding me back. Because of what I saw from videos from you, RCDriver, RazorRC and others is that the drive train seems bullet proof.

@@mrallende007 Without the wide maxx kit it causes you to DRIVE the maxx and later maybe after decide if you want or need the kit. Don't just assume that it's no good without it. When you are inexperienced it's actually good to have a tight smaller footprint truck to bash around and as your experience grows so will the MAXX. just my 2 cents

@rcguygarage4 жыл бұрын
Everything that I'm about to say causes future problems but here you go. You can fill the Male side of axle to reduce twist. This will then put strain on the U-joint loops and it will also put a certain amount of stress elsewhere in the RC such as the wheel hexes and in the differentials. Traxxas definitely does do their homework in the design for a number of reasons 1 first and foremost being making money on upgrades. The axles are definitely considered a consumable part

Should I do it over and go back to 20m? I also went with 50k up front and 10k rear, so any feedback is appreciated. I did this to reduce diff out / where one front corner lifts under WOT.
