Traxxas Wide Maxx Fail!

[@satorrotas]

It is sure that updating steel would be best, but the price is also a little expensive, but it is sure that after you would be quiet, big dilemma lol

[@AxiomaticPro]

Haha they really get ya! I think it'll be about $130 US to upgrade. We'll see what happens.

[@satorrotas]

@@AxiomaticPro 😊👍

[@KibsRC]

Oh man that’s a bummer!

[@AxiomaticPro]

At least I get to have fun fixing it!

[@KibsRC]

Axiomatic RC Oh yeah, I agree! 👍😃👍

[@NitroStarGT]

I've got a cracked driveshaft on mine that I've superglued and it's still holding up great. It cracked when I hit a tree going wide open and right front c hub broke and tweaked shaft. Glued and still going strong. I haven't broken anything since and I have wrecked severely several times. Hang in there cuz

[@KurtsRCs]

That sucks better luck next time 😁👍👊

[@AxiomaticPro]

It happens! I'll get her fixed up in no time!

[@jamesswift4641]

You hit the nail right on the head,can you say upgrades lol🍊🍊😎😎👍👍

[@AxiomaticPro]

She'll be fixed in no time!

[@operation11charlieinc]

That's called RC TIME OUT LOL, time for more upgrades stay safe brother

[@AxiomaticPro]

11CHARLIE RC - haha thanks man. Take care of yourself!

[@operation11charlieinc]

@@AxiomaticPro you too my brother

[@RcNickster709]

Bummer.. Oh well .. It happens.. Thumbs up..

[@AxiomaticPro]

Sure does! Now I get to fix it! I like wrenching on the cars!

[@rcrelatedstuff6092]

Great video even if it was sad to see it broken. Sucks to wait for parts aswell

[@AxiomaticPro]

RC related stuff - it happens, I’ll get her back up and running

[@islandrc-duke1972]

Oops,that's a bummer,hope it doesn't take to get the parts with all this crazy stuff going on.

[@AxiomaticPro]

It's all good. I'll call up D&D Sports tomorrow and order up. I don't mind waiting in times like these. Stay safe man

[@islandrc-duke1972]

@@AxiomaticPro same to you brother✌👍😃

[@rcintro1489]

Oh man that sucks Ax!!!

[@AxiomaticPro]

So bummed I couldn't get a longer run out of it! Ah well!

[@CCxRC]

I sense some annoyed sarcasm. That break though doesn't seem to be a spot that would be related to the extra width. That would more likely be just a fluke hit on something or landing on brake or throttle to torque it? I'm just guessing. What are your thoughts? My stock driveshafts have been surprisingly bulletproof, but my runs have been much more simplistic...straight line jump to flat ground and repeat. 😂

[@mickd8188]

I was just going to comment similar, that break area is well supported by hubs and bearings. It's just that balance between plastic, power and torque. Bad.luck mate, waiting for parts sucks so bad. Try living in Australia where local hobby shop doesnt even really know what a 5 slot brushed motor is. I've given up now and just try and order from the States and wait... Cheers 👍

[@AxiomaticPro]

Just frustrated but I agree, where it hit was more on the hub than the shaft. I was excited to have this ready to go and that happened. It all good, excuse to upgrade!

[@CCxRC]

@@AxiomaticPro Totally get it. Hopefully this upgrade fixes it for you. Mine's just been so tough that I was shocked to see your troubles.

[@STEVOD313]

Bummer bro!

[@AxiomaticPro]

Haha probably a bad driver behind the wheel! Thanks for watching man!

[@jdpaslRC]

Dont give up on Maxx. bro

[@AxiomaticPro]

Absolutely not. This is a great rig, just bummed it broke so quickly. I'll get her up and running!

[@jdpaslRC]

@@AxiomaticPro like broken bones!

[@drummerdad80]

Bummer but you get a 👍still

[@AxiomaticPro]

Haha thanks man!

[@BasBoyRC]

That was the case of commentators curse.

[@AxiomaticPro]

Haha just frustrated. It was probably the way I landed and more my fault but just frustrated haha

[@gadgetmantwincities]

We put the steel driveshafts on ,works great!

[@AxiomaticPro]

Awesome, that'll be next purchase most likely

[@tommyg957]

It like the tootsie pop commercial, how many jumps til it breaks, ah 1, ah 2, ah 3. 3!

[@AxiomaticPro]

haha I was thinking the same thing when I was making this vid!

[@teamvegarc]

I just got mine in today bro.. waiting for my WideMaxx kit .. thing imma just order the steel cvd now lol

[@AxiomaticPro]

Awesome man! Its a great rig, you'll love it. The WideMaxx kit makes it much more stable but with anything in life, you change one thing, you have to change a few other things!

[@seansrcconstruction]

Man that sucks.. trust Traxxas not have comparable parts

[@AxiomaticPro]

That's the way the cookie crumbles I guess....mmm cookie!

[@netcruzer]

Doh! Traxxas plastic axles strike again. So they made wide kit metal axles upgrades too?

[@AxiomaticPro]

Haha sure did. Yes, Traxxas knows what they are doing, they get suckers like me to buy the expensive upgraded shafts!

[@GREENFROGRC]

Rough break Axman sorry to see you having issues with the drive shafts, so quickly after widening. Would be interested to know how the truck landed, guessing on that wheel, or if it was it under power or not?

[@AxiomaticPro]

GREEN FROG R.C. - good point. From where I was standing and from the camera angle, it’s hard to see how it landed. I had let off of the throttle once i made the flip so I don’t think I had the trigger pulled. I’ll get her fixed up in no time!

[@LegendaryRc]

awesome man subbed dude

[@AxiomaticPro]

Thanks man! I appreciate it

[@fernsolo]

Well.... that's pretty much all I got 👍🏼

[@AxiomaticPro]

haha that'll work!

[@soflorclife6970]

Well you definitely called it!!

[@AxiomaticPro]

Haha wish I didn't!

[@greatrcxxx5473]

Wow....great video though!

[@AxiomaticPro]

Thanks so much man!

[@greatrcxxx5473]

Axiomatic RC no problem! We make RC car videos on our KZbin channel, if you have a second to check out our channel that would be really awesome!

[@bobbiker46]

looks like they need some reinforcement in that weak spot Hello ax man

[@AxiomaticPro]

Yeah, stock just not strong enough but in all fairness, I was getting some big air! Great to see you man! Hope all is well!

[@KruseNStuff]

This is an EXCELLENT update my bro. DEFINITELY APPRECIATE this video. GREAT info to know for the future🔥🤜🤛🔥👌🔥💯🔥

[@AxiomaticPro]

Thanks man. Bummed it happened so fast but I'll be honest, I wasn't surprised

[@LuisLPRCs]

Cool you found a track! Where is that track located? We have to hook up Johnny Rocket? Lol!

[@AngryDavesADULTRC]

Never good when wheels are rollin' all by themselves, lol. Stay well. -"Angry" Dave

[@AxiomaticPro]

haha never good! Hope all is well man!

[@rctrailcats3492]

Funny they would use such a small driveshaft to begin with. But. "Them's the breaks"

[@AxiomaticPro]

haha for real! Ah well, Steel shafts it is

[@jpslayer2016]

Oops. At least it looked cool

[@AxiomaticPro]

Haha very true! I'll get her fixed up in no time!

[@roy9871]

What wheels are you using?

[@AxiomaticPro]

They are the Proline Badlands

[@md95tsi]

You Broke it lol

[@RCCRAYZ]

Yah buddy!!!

[@eddylee1183]

Most are these RC are basic parts when you buy it off the shelves , they are not built to last very long as it’s not meat to be . Company’s make all their profits from selling you party’s and even those parts are not to last too long so the cycle continues. Shame but the designs are meant to break after short while and it will keep you coming back , sad really , profit , profit .

[@philthyco1]

Bummer bro..But the hop up shafts should fix the issue although expensive..Hope you are doing well..God bless

[@AxiomaticPro]

I'm going to have to bite the bullet! Great seeing you bro. Stay well!

[@Kyle-sw7wb]

Traxxas wide maxx is a terrible purchase the quality is a joke.
