TRAXXAS Slash Ultimate or TRAXXAS Maxx?

[@wallythacker7772]

Proline makes a standard style body post kit for the maxx with the thumb screw caps. It’s a solid upgrade and lets you run whatever body you want, then you don’t have to worry about the body popping off anymore.

[@randallharrellracingrcchan9386]

Traxxas SLASH any days Sun since 2012 still runs great mine's of the rare Mark Jenkins special with the electrical system that tracks this doesn't make any more the45+ mph TSM

[@ericbrooks1562]

I have a ultimate I converted to a MONSTER slash. Pretty much changed everything. No longer a "stock" truck. Shocks, tires,wheels, a arms,bumpers,esc,motor,body, screws,axles, radio,.

[@chasestutler5807]

Tryna give me parts list and link ?!

[@jackdeth2063]

I have the updated Maxx and a 2WD VXL Slash. They are both a lot of fun. The Slash is faster, the Maxx is more stable and much better on rough terrain. The Maxx is better in my opinion, but you can't go wrong with either truck. Great comparison video!

[@coolstar2398]

Had an Invictus 10mt as my first RC and loved it to bits. Then came my slash platinum and ohhh boy was that an experience. The power was insane the driving performance was always there and no mater where I was driving, I always had a blast with it

[@cjv29er]

Probably the Slash Ultimate’s gonna be my next RC. Big fan of SCTs. For monster trucks, the 3S Arrma Granite BLX is hard to beat in my book. Great video. 😊

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

Check out The RC Kiwis vid on the Senton if you like SCTs. Tough as old boots.

[@V8chump]

I got the brushed granite off a friend for 50$ and god... that thing is literally indestructible 🤣 I also have a slash but the e revo 2.0 is by far my favorite rc ATM. Everyone says they’re unreliable but the only thing I’ve broken in over a year is tires doing a double backflips 🤷🏼‍♂️

For tracks i will choose the slash over maxx... but maxx is supreme!!! Nice video very entertaining 👍

I own the slash 4x4 ultimate and it the best thing i ever got.

[@chaddavis513]

Great video! Depends on what you want to use it for but i love them both for different reasons and different styles of driving.

[@generalmadness6832]

I got both of them they are both amazing

[@steveblackbird]

Both are solid popular cars and thank you for the review.... we need the X-Maxx guys.... send it!

[@The.JZA.]

I used to have a Slash that I upgraded A LOT and one thing that frustrated the hell out of me was those wheel hexes. They’re just completely inappropriate for the amount of torque going through them. They need to update them to a star pattern or something because they strip way too easily. The number of times I had to throw out wheels that were still in great condition but had stripped out… SMH. That’s one of the reasons I ended up selling that car. I just felt like it was designed to fail so that you have to spend money on parts. I don’t mind buying new wheels when they wear out but I don’t want to have to constantly buy new parts just because of poor design.

[@fastlanerc8]

Now you can get 2 in 1. New Traxxas Slash Maxx

[@rcworxshop]

Very close call both in my top 5 but your right the Maxx takes it 👌🏻

[@timothyhafner5442]

We race the Slash 4x4 VXLs on 2s. Lots of fun! I do also want to try a desert racer/trophy truck.

[@BigCheese85]

❤ Good channel. I'm from England but have been to NZ and absolutely loved it. Working way through videos of yours.

[@DroppetjeNL]

I have got a traxxas slash 4x4 for over 2 years now. I have had a lot of fun with it but now I am selling it and buying a traxxas maxx. I started on a rustler like 5 years ago but I got to the slash because it is 4x4. I raced a lot with my dad who has got a slash as well and for racing this is the car. what we missed is jumping, we know the slash can do it as well but your car will get damaged. if you want a slash and have the money, you should buy the ultimate because I don't and broke over 5 wishbones and on the ultimate it won't break as quick as the normal version.

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

Always love seeing y’all’s videos pop up. Hope all is well!

[@lawrenceroe8961]

My slash vxl 4x4 tire nut did same thing but my maxx esc blew its fuse and the diff stripped and I'm not a hard basher ..thought I'd go arrma so bought felony and vortex ...screws are terrible on motor mount on felony ,stripped 2nd change of gear , vortex too weak of an esc ..we need 1 to step up and make it worth our $ ..great vids ..keep them coming

[@TheRcKiwis]

Man unlucky ae! Lets hope with your next RC you have better luck! Maybe try the Mojave!

[@Chettjacobson]

I have the Maxx with the widemaxx kit and steel drive shafts. I love this truck.

[@djlonewolf78]

there are reasons i have a wide variety of r/c's 2wd and 4wd stampedes 2wd and 4wd ultimate slash, maxx v2, trx4 bronco, m41 plus some axial tamiya and acouple others i don't remember the brand of they are all fun and work great overall. but something i will say on the slash ultimate if using in sand the vxl even with esc and motor fans trying different gears it just needs a 1/8th scale esc and motor.

[@bluebasher420]

My spouse is actually building a Jurassic Park inspired Scout II. Looking forward to seeing your Jurassic Park Jeep. 👍😎

[@randallharrellracingrcchan9386]

Only thing I had to do to my Traxxas/was the steering box gears went out so I fix those been through about 20 engines had to rebuild a transmission one-time cuz my bearings wind up going completely out and about to have to fix my shots been through four sets of tires jumping over my three-story house twice without breaking it and the original body I'm about to get it redone

[@promobius4603]

I have both, the maxx is a better truck but it's also alot more expensive, as it sits, theirs is about 800. So they aren't really in the same price range. Love them both though, sometimes the slash is just so satisfying to drive.

[@Tjbilo]

When have these two RCs ever been comparable? It’s like saying “can’t decide” over the losi 5ive t or the traxxas stanpede

[@whodeany76]

Just got the quantum Mt Flux 3s which is awesome but you have to upgrade the controller, also bought the 2 wheel drive slash for my nephew and that thing is so much fun

Ive been racing a box stock soash class they only allow the base 2wd its definitely a lot of fun

My 6yr old wants to know if you ever did launch the Lasernut off the BIG black ramp in Hong Kong. I thought you mentioned in a previous video that you had or were going to, but then we never saw it.

Am I missing something? you showed the slash break at the end then said you still haven't broken it.

[@gordonshaw3245]

Same answer if comparing them stock? Maxx must be best part of $200 more expensive at the spec you’ve built it too. Thanks for the vids, and for getting me into planes now as well as cars, have started down the slippery slope 😁👍. The eachine Trojan is amazing. Cheers

There was a time i was going to get the Slash, but the UDR was released about the same time i was going to get it. Got the UDR instead. Never had an interest in the Maxx or even the X-Maxx and still dont.

[@Greg....]

I have a slash 4x4 vxl (not the ultimate) and a maxx. I really like the slash, its stock with the 18t pinion, a set of tyres and cooling fans. My maxx.... well, its geared up, 6s powered, all the suspension crap, gears, belted tyres on beadlock wheels, all the sensors and bluetooths. On gps it it gears out at 145kmh. I run an upgraded 35mm ally fan on the esc on that and dual 45mm ally fans on the motor and the thing never gets hot. Yeah the maxx is a lot faster, but the slash is more fun even though its stock. They're very different trucks in the way they handle. So its apples and oranges. The maxx, when asked can i jump that, answer is yes. The slash, its stock so is a lot slower, but it does those things called corners heaps better.
