I’m trying to avoid letting the color coordinated rims sway my opinion, because they clearly *look* better. I definitely like the performance you experienced from the Sledgehammers. I’d say stick with the Sledges, unless long term testing proves them to be counterproductive from a durability or tread life standpoint … or if constantly reglueing.

Question for the masses: Do you think a tires that constantly balloons vs a belted tire... Which type of tire is most likely to need glue maintenance?? I would assume a ballooning tire is "pulling" on the glue bead hard when it's at speed? Guess just wondering if there would be more maintenance with one type of tire vs the other?? Great video Earl as always. Thank you 👍

I really like the xmaxx Earl It sure performs with those tires. I think an indestructable body wouldnt be a bad purchase either. Do you think that traxxas would ever make an xmaxx v2 like the maxx and have the sludge hammers and widebody kit already installed, I think that would be an awesome option. Here in canada the maxx isnt much different in price from the v2 for the upgrades you get. Thanks for the awesome videos and helpful tips along the way. Also would love to see traxxas come out with there own version of an scx6.

Hey Earl! Looking good. What gearing & servo are u running? Currently I’m running Tekno 18 & GDS 50. I HATED the stock gears had all sorts of gear mesh issues. And recently I upgraded the xmaxx servo with metals gears and put it in my Maxx and now the Xmaxx has the Protek 370 servo in it with the adapter. Haven’t put it through it’s paces yet but it seems to be fine so far. I’m using the Promodeler servo horn. Fits perfect

Nice video👍 Anyone know if TRX has made any changes in the thickness of the wheel vs stock 8s wheels? I have had nothing but problems with the stock wheels cracking..I honestly can't believe how thin the stock xmaxx wheels are. I've had 2 broken wheels on my X the last 2 outings. It's cold outside, so I know things get brittle but damn. To put things into perspective, I have been bashing a kaiju, kraton exb(6s) and a corally xtr all stock with no broken wheels.. I do like the xmaxx stock tires, but the wheels are just rubbish! I don't need or want belted tires, just something that can actually hold up to stock speeds without breaking.
@joseCalderon19762 жыл бұрын
Nice. I run 25/35 gearing with the 1100kv motor and Max 5 on my X-Maxx so I need belted tires to take that abuse. The Duratrax lockups X 24mm belted tires have worked well for me. I destroy the stock Xmaxx tires with my set up. Hopefully these tires are better than the stock Xmaxx ones for the regular powered Xmaxx. Thanks for the video 👍.

My truck is literally identical to yours, orange HD arms, Sledgehammers and all.

I was jumping it very similar to you, nothing crazy. Very disappointed!

Earl great bash sir👍🏾 Do you prefer the stock xMaxx or the bigger motor xMaxx? Which do you have more fun with? Might be a silly question but it seems like less breaks with the stock xMaxx. Mine is not stock but it seems stock is plenty enough power.. Thinking about going back to stock tbh🤔

@restinpiecesrc55282 жыл бұрын
@@earlmoorhead5555 i did think maybe not extend for that reason. Plus the longer wheelbase would leave more area for something to collide or flex causing more chassos breakages. The wide kit i definitely see being rtr soon, was it you or someone else who said the wide arms are bending though causing awkard camber angle after a few bashes. But agreed a new body design would make sense, instead of the same bland design since the 6s xmaxx. Have you tried the proline gladiator body for the xmaxx?
