Traxxas X-Maxx 8s Bashing on 8s With 20/46 Gearing

[@RazorRC]

I rarely watch a full bash video, but I enjoyed watching someone who knows how to drive put a truck through its paces. Nice video, I need to get me one of these!

[@killeroffroadhobbyz]

Thank you and thanks for stopping by. It's so nice to have people to go bash with now lol

[@GreatLakesRC]

Razor pick one up! Would love to see how you tune it to be even better 👍

[@cwatson42785]

Razor rc in the house!! 👊🍻

Killer bash, awesome park and super fun to watch all the younger and older drivers just having a blast. I just picked up a used X-Maxx and am going to go through it with a fine toothed comb and make sure everything is good to go. Between a 20-25 tooth pinion and the 46 tooth spur, seems to be a pretty sweet spot. I will run it all stock to start and then start upgrading as things fail, or I see an obvious area that needs addressed. Keep up the great content man!!!

[@Megasty15]

I never seen another truck so constantly in the process of chewing up its own drivetrain. I get it, the plastic bulkheads flex with the chassis, giving the diffs all the space it needs to screw up. I had a Savage that ate its diffs, but it still took months worth of runs. This thing can do it on command. I applaud the people who never have problems with these things.

[@killeroffroadhobbyz]

We are trying to figure out his issue but can't seem to find it. He is talking about getting a brand new 8s and keeping the 6s for the motor and other parts

[@jeffmaxwell8790]

Shim the diffs , upgrade to alluminum motor mount ,shim the cush drive , and upgrade to a better material then the stock spur gear and the drivetrain will be bullet proof 👍👍👍👍👍 once I did that stuff I've had no issues

[@GreatLakesRC]

If it's a 6s that's the issue. They did more than just and ESC and motor upgrade when they released the 8s 👍 I have had zero diff issues

[@Megasty15]

@@killeroffroadhobbyz When the 8s first came out, my 6s was on the shelf so I put every 8s part I could find in it. It ended up with no 6s parts left & a new truck built from the ground up using JRC & tons of parts from my LHS. Yet I still had drivetrain problems until the took the 2028 out. I could easily blow a new 8s diff with a single trigger pull with that thing in there. I loved the 2028 power but I tried EVERYTHING with the diffs & they just can't handle it. It has found a new home in my K8S & the firma system is in the X-Maxx.

[@jeffmaxwell8790]

Great video Gary 👍 glad your having fun with the xmaxx I had an issue with stripping rear diffs also, once I shimmed them that took care of that and I also replaced the plastic motor mount with an aluminum one and I stopped blowing up spur gears. Also I shimmed the cush drive shaft to eliminate some of the slop.

[@killeroffroadhobbyz]

Thank you very much and that's for the info

[@cwatson42785]

Glad you're having much more fun with it this time around Gary!!

[@philthyco1]

Right on Gary! Always fun when a bunch of rigs get out to bash!

[@philthyco1]

Imagine my 1/16 scale Hellseeker 4s out there..It would look like a tiny ant!! Lol..Even the 1/10 scales look so small! Lol

[@killeroffroadhobbyz]

Yeah when there are a couple X-Maxx's running around almost anything else looks small

[@MTB4LIFE]

So glad your loving that R&R Xmaxx beast.. cuz it is a ultra beast... keep the videos coming.

[@killeroffroadhobbyz]

Thank you and I will

[@miltbuiltrcMBRC]

I still wanted one the last time you said you didn't like it LOL you handle that 8 s like a freak you and the remote control have become one that was awesome .personally I like both rigs the kraton 8s and the TraxxasX good deal brother

[@joshuaclark3414]

The first 4 minutes was my life as a traxxas owner summed up perfectly. Set up an awesome bash with everyone and make it 2 minutes before the traxxas trucks began falling apart. My xmaxx is ok but other than that ima stick with with my Kraton, Typhon, and Granites. That said, awesome content brother!

[@killeroffroadhobbyz]

I am sold on the X-Maxx and very much thinking of getting a Maxx but Traxxas can keep all the rest lol

[@cwatson42785]

@@killeroffroadhobbyz Nooo!! Don't pay almost 600$ for a 1/10 scale MT Gary! It performs horrible without the widemaxx kit! (And of course it's a 70$ hop up that the truck desperately needed and should of came stock but hey that's traxxas!) Also that's gotta be really low on the VOK scale and you know what that stands for right Gary???

[@jstesan1]

The MAXX is amazing with the widemaxx kit. Takes way more abuse than my xmaxx 8s (which is tough) . In parts savings alone it’s worth the price.

[@jonvoogd511]

Did you get another X Maxx? How are you likening it this time around. I must of missed the video u getting a X Maxx. Glad to see you with it,you have the perfect bash spot for a x maxx. You rock with that bad boy, gary !!

[@killeroffroadhobbyz]

Yes I did lol well the wife got this for me, "god I love that woman" lol but I so happy this round. That one I had the last time was messed up somehow cuz this is a much different beast

[@richduperbash2966]

Awesome group bash Brother 👊!!!! Stoked you're digging it Gary 🤗. Hopefully get those gears sorted. 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊

[@killeroffroadhobbyz]

Thanks brother

[@GreatLakesRC]

Good fun bashing with friends! Xmaxx is tough man, glad you gave it a second chance 👍

[@killeroffroadhobbyz]

Me too, Thank you

[@trevorlyle6381]

great video work thank you for the show my youtube friend.

[@joseCalderon1976]

I doubt your stock ESC will last long with that gearing brother. I hope you didn't use the pins to set the mesh either. Too loose. You have to do it manually. Good luck. I already installed max 6 esc BC my stock one was starting to act up. I bashed my xmaxx 8s on concrete for like 40 minutes yesterday. 0 breakage, except for the torn up body and rear body support. It's a tough RC indeed.

[@killeroffroadhobbyz]

We will see how long it last, when it takes a shit on me I will upgrade to the Max6.

[@WilsonsGarage330]

I just got rid of my stampede and my rustler they were great but my 1/8 summit was truly fun

[@killeroffroadhobbyz]

Very nice

[@WilsonsGarage330]

Great video guys !!!!

X MaxX is a beast 45 minutes not 2 shabby...

[@killeroffroadhobbyz]

For sure

[@hippywildchildracing]

@@killeroffroadhobbyz hey have tried the Callouses mt 5th Scale on 8s yet? another great platform for 8s or even 10s. That's if you like the big electric Monster trucks which I do. I also love the new 5th scale Kraton on 8s aswell I see Rich is currently doing that on all modded up it looks super great truggy style. The Big 5th scales electric rc trucks are getting better and better. Ty U 4 sharing your great vids

[@carlossantiago8221]

Awesome bash bro!! I love my 8s xmaxx there are so tough. Did u use The supplied 46t spur gear that came with the truck?

[@killeroffroadhobbyz]

Yes I did but I do have a harden steel one also

[@jonvoogd511]

What kind of gears did you put in your X MAXX? 20 46, what mph do you think you'd get on a speed run with 8s?

[@killeroffroadhobbyz]

I used the optional sur you get with the X-Maxx and a 20T pinion. I would say it will do at least 45 to 50 mph

[@dustinmccollister3547]

I got my xmaxx out for the first time. It wont stay off the back wheels or in reverse back wheels off the ground any advice to get it to ride out like the 2 here

[@killeroffroadhobbyz]

Did you gear up, mine was pretty easy to drive stock, now that it is geared up it's a hand full

[@dustinmccollister3547]

I haven't touched it at all bone stock

[@MaximumShellz]

I can’t wait to get my fuckin X-MAXX, I just got the blue Revo 2.0 I’m lovin it👍🏾👍🏾🤜🏻🤛🏿✊🏿✊🏿🏎💨💨

[@killeroffroadhobbyz]

The X-Maxx is sick for sure

[@woodlakerc7047]

Oh man that sound of the "injured" x maxx, almost hurts my ears as a fellow x maxx owner. Great park to bash though!

[@killeroffroadhobbyz]

Mine too man oh man it sounds rough lol

[@justincase948]

Dam that other xmaxx hasn’t fully updated everything to 8s ?? I feel bad for the dude

[@killeroffroadhobbyz]

He's doing it slow. I think he is going to just buy a new 8s X-Maxx soon

[@justincase948]

KillerOffRoadHobbyz in the long run it just would be cheaper to buy a used 8s .. ur rite tho that clicking noise drives me crazy

[@Yo0ne]

TRAXXAS MAX POWER in.

[@duiga]

Love the X Maxx but I hate Traxxas plastics. I dream of the day Tekno releases their own 5th scale monster 😱😱🤩🤩 That will be the day every Xmaxx owner 🤤🤤🤤 Until then I’ll keep dreaming I guess 🤫🤫 Anyways loved the video 👍

[@tecnikturbo]

Awesome brother! Nice bash session man thanks....Hows the temps with the new gearing? I picked mine up friday still waiting for lipos to arrive, I nearly pissed myself when I saw the size of the box......I have the 6s talion v3 and I thought that was kinda of large but this bad boy is on another level! :D

[@killeroffroadhobbyz]

Running nice and cool so far and yeah the X-Maxx is a beast of a Rc for sure. What lipo's did you get

[@tecnikturbo]

@@killeroffroadhobbyz Hey brother I got the 5000mah 50c gens ace bashing lipos really good punch but I only seem to be getting just over 15mins drive time.....Update I only just noticed my mesh was too tight I guess that will lower runs times, just adjusted it should be better now

[@justincase948]

The kids on there bike are like screw this , I need an Rc 👍👍

[@killeroffroadhobbyz]

LOL

[@WilsonsGarage330]

Holy crap it’s huge haha I mean man compared to a stamped look at the difference need one for my channel I will have one lol

[@killeroffroadhobbyz]

X-Maxx is awesome

[@WilsonsGarage330]

I want one so bad
