Traxxas Maxx Day One Drive and Review Part 1

#Traxxas #rccars #rc
I finally got a Traxxas Maxx. This is my first day with it. I had over an hour of video and I didn't want to put up a massive KZbin video so i cut it into parts. I hope you enjoy!

Thanks for your videos! I’ve been torn between the Rustler, Maxx, and Erevo for so long. Picked up a Maxx yesterday. You’re a wealth of info and a very decent guy. Love your videos! Keep them coming!

[@outsourcedrc]

Thanks. The maxx is a good choice.

[@santannaguzmansr.1107]

I’m leaning towards getting this, starting a new hobby of rc’s this summer.

[@outsourcedrc]

You should.

[@PeeterPuncher]

The 5353X aluminum 17mm hex hubs fit right on.....put them on my Maxx. They are obviously stronger and they eliminate those blue inserts. Also put 40w shock oil in the front shocks and 50W in the rear.....helps with handling.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

thanks for that! the spare 17's I had didn't fit! I'll get these on order. Already done the same as you on the oil

[@cernst29]

Definitely agree with the aluminum boxes and they're really easy to install

[@javiersambrano36]

I don't really know anything about rc's but what does that do changing regular ones to aluminum? Are they better?

Guess your breaking more arms and drive shafts wit

[@MrMikebeben]

So first off I lovvvvve love my maxx. My 6s outcast was my go to truck until I got the maxx and then installed the wide kit, adjustable turnbuckles, metal driveshafts with real 17mm hexes , stiffer shock oil and a set of trencher low pros and OH MY GOD ITS A BEAST!!!!

I bet!

[@aazerosix]

I run mine on 3s and 4s. 3s is fun and not nearly as wild. I also moved the lower shock position to the outer most hole on all 4 corners. Installed Proline badlands with 1/2 offset and she’s much more stable. Really a fun truck to drive.

The E Revo is awesome!

[@robertwren2289]

We like too much of everything. I'm going to try a 3s and see. I also have an adapter so I don't have to use a Traxxas battery. Don't think I'll use the self-righting, too hard on the gears. I'm with you on the pricing, this truck should be no more than $400 to $450. Guess we're paying for the letters MAXX.

[@agustinbrain3338]

Seré did you get the adaptar?

[@EXTREMERC416]

I cant get over the price.. here in canada its 730$ imthin it just insanely overpriced while their competion are arround 530$

Im still waiting for the 1/16 emaxx.

[@outsourcedrc]

lol That would be awesome.

[@trappedsol]

Thats what i thought. And not on the new “maxx” chassis. The old school original emaxx chassis. Kinda like the duratrax mini quake. Which i still love to this day. I even mentioned it to them years ago at several of the ihobby expos. (Which i dont even know if they still have?) Those were fun for sure.

[@trappedsol]

Matter of fact the first time was when duratrax unveiled or released that mini quake at the ihobby expo, and i went to traxxas and said see! Look! Lol y’all need a mini emaxx!

[@1Stunna2323]

I too also become interested once I take the body off. RC cars anyways.

[@chrislrocks]

Literally, was on the phone today with Traxxas. The Maxx is the flagship, "that will put Traxxas back on top" 🤔. Price point, and durability is paramount. My call orginally was a call out to discounted Traxxas vehicles and what's coming up next (was hoping a new and improved E Revo). Word directly from Traxxas... this is the one to buy! Sadly just another monster truck.... blah!

[@outsourcedrc]

I think this may be the new best RC.

[@chrislrocks]

@@outsourcedrc I think your right, I'm curious what this new ARRMA vehicle will be. They are really hyping it up with a release date of late November. . Personally none of the current ARRMA vehicles do anything for me. They just don't look good to me.

[@NitroStarGT]

Yours is only the 2nd Maxx, on KZbin, that I've heard sounding like mine did. It is the rear diff and outdrives and driveshafts wabbling just a couple thousandths. Gears are very big though so figure they will break in.

[@outsourcedrc]

We will see.

[@mattreadle4566]

Did u ever figure it out? I just got one same thing!!!! HELP!!

[@mattreadle4566]

Man if u have any idea how to fix i would much appreciate it. Its bull sit u pay all this money and its broken out of the box

[@NitroStarGT]

@@mattreadle4566 If you contact Traxxas they might send you a new set of gears and they need to know. BUT, I installed a new bulkhead and gears and it still done it but not as bad. Solution: Run the mess out of it and it gets quiter every run. After a few, it sounds smooth. I know its frustrating but I have beat mine down and I use "self righting" all the time and have not damaged any gears yet 👍

In your opinion should I purchase the E-Revo 2.0 or Maxx? Thanks for your review!

[@mr.chapel4179]

I'm kinda....want it and not. Yes it is rough, strong, better/stronger bashing car than the Rustler or Summit. But the price...well, where I live: Rustler 4x4 VXL = 500$ , Summit = 670$, Maxx = 700$, E-Revo 2.0 = 800$ and just to compare an X-Maxx is 1250$. I'm not interested in jumping and don't need the crawler part in the Summit - I have got an full modified Trx4 Sport, love it - I just like to bash, in mud, snow, or any terrain. And the Traxxas 67000mha 4s Lipo is around 200$, which is half of the minimum wage in my country(!!). So...I still don't know. Yes that is a big servo, but it has plastic gears inside...it worries me, how will it withstand after 6-12 months of use or more...?

[@outsourcedrc]

We will find out. It may not need metal gears.

@@gonzodetroitify traxxas sent 3 different rear ends, and every one didnt fix the peoblem. Ended up my local rc shop was gonna send my maxx to traxxas and their supervisor told me to pick a new one off the shelf so i got the one with light kit and paid the difference.

Sir how do you like Traxass lipo?

[@luftwaffle6701]

vuthina roeun no offense, traxxas LiPos are not very good...

[@luftwaffle6701]

I recommend SMC lipos.

Sometimes they are good, sometimes they are not. Just roll the dice everytime you buy one.

[@EXTREMERC416]

Its a gamble they can puff up when they want because there are just rated 25C who is really low and terrible for a basher rly
