[@islandrc-duke1972]

cool rc and bashing,great overview

[@ReadySetRC]

@Island RC -Duke Thanks Duke👍

[@earlmoorhead5555]

I agree the longer chassis made it more stable for sure love both styles myself 👍👍🎄💯💯

[@ReadySetRC]

@Earl Moorhead I always thought that v1 was a nutball. Complete fun!

[@GreatLakesRC]

Great video with both these trucks!! I really like the black & red body you got 🤩 I think the extra length is the best thing Traxxas could do with truck, now it's pretty much the same length as a 1/8 buggy 👍

[@ReadySetRC]

@Great Lakes RC I just wish this truck was released a year ago when I bought the Maxx😆

[@GreatLakesRC]

@@ReadySetRC Yeah me to! Maybe I wouldn't have sold my V1 🤣

[@Justwiselove]

Excellent video as always very informative kept my attention. Great comparison. Like the new red scheme wow!!

[@ReadySetRC]

@Glenn Hensley Thank you much appreciated. I actually had the yellow on hold at my LHS but then I looked at the red online again and just had to have it. I'm glad my LHS had them in stock too.

[@UDRC85]

Great review ready set. 💪🏾

[@ReadySetRC]

@UD RC Thanks man and Happy Holidays!

[@UDRC85]

@@ReadySetRC yes sir same to you. Happy holidays.

[@RazorRC]

Great comparison! You forgot the #1 reason the new Maxx is better -- that red body is 🔥! 🙂

[@ReadySetRC]

@Razor RC Well that goes without saying😆 That red increases durability and speed by 10x🤣

[@rcsmith5909]

Dude im so impressed 👏l can't quite commenting. So basically its more like an 8th scale xmaxx finally. Eventhough they call it 1/10 😆

[@LindenRc215]

Great video 👍🏾💪🏾💯

@Linden Rc 215 Thank man! Happy Holidays!

[@y2shanon]

nice, got the v2 maxx in my garage, need to open it and run it!

[@ReadySetRC]

@SLO SMASH'N Sweet👍

[@Joercgarage]

I still like my v1 maxx with the wide maxx kit but I’m interested in the sledgehammer tires still a great truck no matter what version you have

[@ReadySetRC]

@Joe Rc Garage Honestly can't go wrong with either with how tough these trucks are.

[@ericu9431]

My sledgehammer tires haven't lasted as near as long as I hoped. The foam is completely gone and balloon bad with 4s. I've had my Maxx V2 since January probably ran it 10times. I'm running Kaijus and just ordered some 6s backflips.

[@ReadySetRC]

@@ericu9431 Mine tore apart but it was on me. I tried to save it while it was going on it's lid and tire ballooned up and tore apart.

[@rcshowoff5427]

I did just get the V1 after Xmas. My local hobby shop had the last inventory for about $75 off the truck and a free widemaxx kit. I had had to jump on that deal.

[@ReadySetRC]

@RC Show Off Those prices make the decision a hard one.

[@joseCalderon1976]

Great comparison. I went with the V2 Maxx. It's not that much more expensive than the V1 even when they discounted the V1 to $499. You get a lot more for around $65, including better tires, longer chassis, and such. It was a no brainer for me. I don't like the weak stock ESC so I replaced it with a Max 8 ESC from HW that bolts right up to the chassis. I also replaced the tires with Kaiju tires, since I think that Traxxas tires are not that durable. Stock motor and ESC are fine. I think I broke my Mac today while doing big jumps. I have a noise coming from the rear diff area or the spur gear after a bad landing. It sucks, but it happens. Thanks for the video 👍

[@ReadySetRC]

@Rc enthusiast. Thanks man glad you enjoyed it👍 Yeah I like it too, even thou7gh I bought the v1 less than a year ago😊

[@joseCalderon1976]

@@ReadySetRC I did find a weak point on the Maxx V2 after like 40 big jumps. Check it out : kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGTaZqqIecyZZ8U

Great review 👌🏻 For me personally ill stick with the original Maxx ✌🏻 but i do love that shell on the new one 😄

[@ReadySetRC]

@Kaos R.C Thank you! Great truck either way. But there is truly something about the red😊

[@appleslider999]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@ReadySetRC]

@appleslider Thank you👍

[@rcsmith5909]

I love how the triger is way at the top makes it feel like it has so much snort. Very durable the most durable same level as Mt410 and they are more than an xmaxx. Nobody ever says how completely smooth the truck is. It barely even makes any noise. Yes the kick up hate the my worst problem by far on my maxx

[@ReadySetRC]

@RC SMITH Totally agree, one of the smoothest pulls off the start out of the box.

[@MotoRacer171]

Still think the mt410 is better. Handling, easier to work on, always faster

[@ReadySetRC]

@@MotoRacer171 MT410 is the gold standard.

[@JasonPerrinRCVlogs]

Great video man. I think the new Maxx is a great platform.

[@ReadySetRC]

@Jason Perrin R/C I just wish this came out the first time around😆

[@JasonPerrinRCVlogs]

@@ReadySetRC agreed. Merry Christmas man.

[@ReadySetRC]

[@timdiekman5699]

I enjoyed seeing your video. Appreciate the way you drove. Didn't need to see another basher. I'm new and doing do diligence on the maxx and the sledge. Not looking to launch like a plane and destroy but want durable. Give me your thoughts please.

[@ReadySetRC]

@Tim Diekman Thank you, appreciate the support. Not the two trucks I would suggest for someone new into the hobby. Would this be your first RC? Are you only looking at Traxxas? Are you open to other types of RC's, Short Course, 2WD Monster Trucks, smaller vehicles?

[@usdennis1236]

I think the v1 with wide kit is more fun

[@ReadySetRC]

@UsDennis123 It's a nutball for sure🤪

[@bigboytoyzrc9258]

Great video! I honestly really don't see a difference in these runs. Only thing i noticed was the Og Maxx has a bit more punch of the line (stock gearing)

[@ReadySetRC]

@Big Boy Toyz Rc Thank you, much appreciated! If you look closely at how the OG lands in the rear, it pops up. Look at the New Maxx on the same jump no pop up of the rear on landings.

[@eM4rio]

@@ReadySetRC do you think it's because of new spring set or it's about tires?

[@ReadySetRC]

@@eM4rio I'm feeling springs and if there was any change in the shock oil weight that may have to do with it.

[@heat305rc]

my bro so in your opinion its a must have right? by the way great comparison and review 👊🏼👊🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@ReadySetRC]

@Heat 305 rc Man you like me so I would say yes😆 But I feel if you tune up the v1 you could get it to perform better but I really feel the difference of the longer chassis and that helps on the landings. Still slaps but that rear kick up is almost gone.

[@heat305rc]

@@ReadySetRC ok my brotha, im gonna have to jump on one for sure. was on the fence about it but im grabbing one. Merry Christmas my brotha 🙏🏼🙏🏼👊🏼👊🏼

[@theoerickson1762]

Where did you get the ramp in your video?

[@ReadySetRC]

@theoerickson1762 Damn! I just started putting it in the description a few months back and this is an older vid. These are old ramps by Ten Eighty. I bought them from Toy's R Us maybe about ten or so years ago.

[@tommypenny6339]

I went widemaxx kit, steel drive shafts, 50 wt oil in front, 70 wt oil in the back, proline 3.8 hp belted tires and 20 tooth pinion gear in mine and it's a beast. Traxxas stock tires with that low profile inner and high profile outer design are trash.

[@ReadySetRC]

@Tommy Penny Nice build I've see few guys going this route. I don't know about the stock tires. I think its' all about where you run. They are all terrain so they are not going to be good everywhere. They just happen to be good at the places I run😊

[@tiguyrc1963]

I’ve just got the new Max with a rebate of 100$ CAD with the wide kit include! And no taxes. Should have i got the new one?

[@ReadySetRC]

@MEDIAS-RC I saw those deals too, that price was insane. It may have been worth getting this instead. The old one is still a great truck but I think Traxxas may have gotten this right to where it can now be called a mini X-Maxx.

[@10krms8]

Who has the best deal on the new one looking for one thanks

[@ReadySetRC]

@10k Rms I would suggest your local hobby store. Traxxas doesn't allow for deals or coupon codes on most of their stuff.

[@rcsmith5909]

I actually agree with everything you said the whole vid! Except for those damm stock tires on v1 terrible. Grass is a high bite suface in my 👀 and thats where l had most of my problem. Loose dirt they are pretty good on. I would like to see you put the regular arms back on vl with sledgehammer tires. I think the terrible shit flat profile on all there monster truck tires are garbage included the xmaxx. The mx 4.3 are twise as heavy but in my opinion far superior tire in every way especially breaking steering blocks 😆. But traction maneuverability. Probably faster out of the gate to because you can pin it pretty good and because of the weight front stays down somewhat. Good vid bro 🙂💪🤨👊

[@ReadySetRC]

@RC SMITH Thanks man! Yeah I'm that odd ball 🤪 For some reason when I run the stockers on the grassy areas I run, best performance. I throw the badlands or the MX28's no so great. What I've noticed that back break out and even helps with the steering. I want to tune up the rear shocks and throw the Sledgehammers on next.

[@keithmcsorley5271]

i like both but like the new maxx better

[@ReadySetRC]

@keith mcsorley Me too😊

[@rcsmith5909]

That weird that's were l had the most trouble with the shit old tires worst part of that truck l thought. I already have had the wide maxx and the sledgehammer tire. For about a year and a half now. I think in handling that looks the tires fixed it. And they must have re dampened the rear shocks at least cause it definitely lands more flat it seems. So lm going to build mine up body driveshaft battery strap. Already ordered my xmaxx wide kit as well straight from Traxxas. $212 cant wait. That truck will be the best 5th scale for another 4 or 5years. Wooooooooo!!!!!! T.I.T.T.S.

[@ReadySetRC]

@RC SMITH I'm glad they finally released it like this. I waited over a year just to buy the first one. If I had just waited another year I would gotten the Maxx I wanted😆

[@RobertNES816]

If you have a Maxx with the widemaxx kit no it's not worth it. Just upgrade yours when the body becomes unavailable and you're left with no choice.

[@ReadySetRC]

@Robert NES816 Totally agree👍

[@rcsmith5909]

Got to quit with the dings. Im wrenching my hands are greasy and lm like l know lm subsribed. Had to wipe my hands ✋😤and check. This is one of my favorite vids of yours. I bet you could run that Maxx into a wall at 50mph and it would survive 😏ouch 😜

[@ReadySetRC]

@RC SMITH 😆I love it! Much appreciated man!

[@ISIAH_STL]

V1 better looks better

[@ReadySetRC]

@BUILDERPOWER Proportions do look a bit more aggressive on the v1 but I like the performance of the v2 better.

[@rcsmith5909]

They break loose when you need them to just like the hoss. HOSS WIDEMAXX KITS NEXT.can you imagine that would take care of buch of them . Lol✊👊. Piece

[@ReadySetRC]

@RC SMITH I've been saying that is the next truck to get the wide treatment😆

[@nhmtrhd]

background music is very annoying

[@ReadySetRC]

@nhmtrhd For the first 8 minutes of a 25 minute video where there are markers for chapters with no music, not a big issue for me, plus I like it😊

[@nhmtrhd]

@@ReadySetRC No prob, I don’t think I have seen one of your vids before. Just figured any meaningful feedback is good feedback. Thanx for sharing your content 🤠

[@ReadySetRC]

​@@nhmtrhd Don't get me wrong I always appreciate constructive feedback. Now are you saying that song is annoying or all music in general on KZbin videos? I always find genre of music to be more of a matter of opinion than feedback.

[@nhmtrhd]

@@ReadySetRC Not all available music available to you is annoying. The one I was talking about is quite short as it repeats itself and sounds overly synthesized. That is how my ears hear it.
