Traxxas Xmaxx After Repairs & New Tires How Is It ?

[@meirdeaph]

Awesome 👍

[@T1Jafo]

Glad to see your follow up from yesterday so soon. 100ºF is better than 114-115º; and unlike for us folks down in the midsouth I am guessing it is *dry* heat. When it gets over 100º around these parts, just walking to your mailbox and you are completely drenched like stepping out of the shower and the air is so thick, one would think you could cut it with a knife.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Thanks for the support 💯🙏

[@johngantner9314]

Aw man Good to see your videos again

[@make4all2000]

Nice Earl, I think you have better The direction is that the new wheels are a little smaller in diameter with larger rims and are not as aggressive as the previous ones.. I'm glad you started posting again

[@andrewfrost4802]

Thank you for going out in the hot weather to make a video. out here in OKC. It gets very hot. I run my X Maxx lat in the day.Be safe. god bless.

[@nofreerides7033]

Never gets old … Xmaxx perfect fall back RC 👍👍👍 fulfilling that that need to bash and enjoy…

[@Doug_Morgan]

Cool, I was thrilled to see another video out so soon. I had my Ultimate out the other day with the RPM hinge pins for the first time. I bashed it for about 35 minutes and I had no failures of any kind or cracking. I did more jumps in a single bash than I have ever done. Using those 5/32" wheel collars I mentioned to install one of the RPM pins on the rear inside upper worked great. I have been curious about those tires but in a different tread pattern. Looking for something with less weight than the belted Sledgehammers but less ballooning than the non belted Sledgehammers.

[@RoostedFilms]

I'm running Duratrax Hatchet X and they look identical to the tires you're running. The Duratrax brand has been discontinued. I like those tires so much I picked up a spare set & haven't been able to find them since. I've seen them under that name but for sale from the UK. Cheer good run in the heat .

[@samoanpride753]

Good stuff E! Nice to see you getting back out and ripping! 😎👍🔥

[@RCGuy1627]

Hey Earl! I’m enjoying your videos and hopefully we can run into each other at the track someday. I’m there at least once a week.

[@83Goldy]

What’s up Earl. It’s so hot here in NJ also, 114*F. I think we broke record this year. I never seen NJ so hot. Anyway, great video. That’s a heavy truck. I’m still loving my Mojave 4s. Keep coming your great videos. 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@V8chump]

How is that Mojave? I was looking at one but ended up pulling the BIG trigger on the xmaxx

[@earlmoorhead5555]

@V8chump Mojave 4s and 6s are great but the 4s is cheaper to fix

[@83Goldy]

@@V8chump oh man I loveit, it’s so durable. Even my 4 year old son love it and I let him use it and do whatever he wants. That Mojave never break. I’m going to buy another one for me so he can keep mine. I also going to buy the new Traxxas Sledge. It would be my first Traxxas. They have a great deal with battery and charger.

Thanks for the vid Earl especially in the heat. Seems to be hot everywhere it was even 92F up here in B.C., Canada. I ran my slash beside my granddaughter as she rode her quad but it wasn't for long. Too damn hot.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Global warming 🧐😮🙃

[@jimmygeorge4268]

EARL…..it’s been a100 degrees here in North Carolina…..I decided to put red loctite on the pinion and let it set overnight. Can you believe it….it got hot and even broke the red loctite….but other than that it was a blast….lovin my xmaxxes to death….great video….🇺🇸👍🚘

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes I use red as well the motor shaft heat melts the loc tight 🧐🤪🤓

[@andyb9994]

Great video XMAXX's are awesome I love your Xmaxx content..I do the same thing, have multiple X trucks and an ultimate and one I rip all the time, Stay cool 👍👍

[@jameswisecarver]

Cool, wish I had some better spots to run.

[@rcguygarage]

26:15 yep bet these rims are glass with NE cold

I know the duratrax are wonderful if these are as well 🧐

Great vid

[@wolfysoto]

Good to see your video mr.earl good to hear you'll be droping more videos last time visited this park which was bout a week back it was very hot up there i couldn't even finish the run 😂

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Definitely way to hot out there but that’s when no one is there lmao 🤣

[@wolfysoto]

@earlmoorhead5555 facts 💯 I always go monday early mornings for same reason 😁

[@ejlucas93]

Stock tires about to make me give up on my xmaxx. Can't get a single pack!

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes that was the issue I had till the jconcept magma tires bead lock there heavy and expensive but no more tire issues now I’m looking for a cheaper solution 💯👌

[@gratefuldabs9775]

I prefer having that drift when I turn. Those tires seem to be doing pretty dang good. Might need to try those out. Can’t remember what brand you said they were

[@RC-Closer1313]

Damn Earl, did you bring something to hydrate with? Here in Florida today they had a major heat warning… they said it felt like 123 degrees!! Crazy

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes I stopped at the store for some cold drinks 🍹

[@V8chump]

Holy crap 25/44 in 100 degrees!? Stock motor??

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yep 👍

[@V8chump]

@@earlmoorhead5555 wow! What temp is thermal cutout? Running stock gearing in grass I usually don’t hit 170… wondering how much wiggle room I have gearing wise. Gonna throw better fans in the heat sink too, might allow a tooth or two more

[@MylifeasItravel]

Awesome Earl!

[@V8chump]

What servo you running big E? Hoping I don’t need to spend a shitton of money for a decent xmaxx servo and yours is lookin mighty strong

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Just Traxxas upgraded X servo as I had one it’s no faster then stock just metal geared with a stiffer spring for the servo saver

[@jagergerg9771]

I had Proline Masher X belted for about a year, ran a lot of packs, no re-gluing. Max 5 1100 25/35 gearing. One finally gave out. Do you think those tires would hold up?

[@jradddsr5444]

Tires and wheels look awesome, does sound like its lost some cushion from the tires on landing from big jumps nice to have options though. I still want to see the 100 mph from the new max slash

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes got to add the upgrades to it

[@V8chump]

Earl if you were to have perfect landings everytime on sends like this 9:15… how long do you think the xmaxx would go without breaking 🤔🧐🤔🧐🤔

[@earlmoorhead5555]

About 300 jumps before the lower bulkhead cracks

[@V8chump]

Earl I know you run stock shock oil, have you tried thicker? I tried 50w, didn’t wanna go too nuts, and it feels quite a bit more plush on landings while still being active enough for smaller bumps

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes in hot summer days thicker will work better but if it cools down it end up kicking the rear up

[@rcguygarage]

CLASSIC 14:56 X-MAXX 😂🤣😂🤣

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Out of all the cool jumps you have to pick the pinion coming off clip lmao 😜

[@rcguygarage]

@@earlmoorhead5555 😜🤣😂👍💯

[@rcguygarage]

Such a tossup with weather. We have the heat AND humidity so nothing catches fire but everything is also consistently wet mud because nothing's drying out and then you've got Cali 115°. Everything's dry but everything is also on fire 🤣😂🤣

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Funny how the pinion alway comes off mid air so you have no control lmao 🤣

[@randythompson1723]

[@diytypeofguy6502]

Wuts the stock xmaxx gearing ? Wuts a good gearing for max6 1100kv 8s without having heat issues

[@earlmoorhead5555]

18/54 stock 20/46 is a great all around gear

[@donniemarks94]

I have a HR gear cover on my Xmaxx and after a run or two the screws back out and my gears start to sound funny when heavy on the throttle, should I just get a new gear cover or does it sounds like something else?

[@earlmoorhead5555]

I’ve never had one get loose unless the screw holes are stripped

@@earlmoorhead5555 that means I’ll probably need a new chassis? The rear part

Greetings from Greece my friend, your video is very informative, this part may help you for the back bumper so the lid of the xmaxx won't break. RPM Bumper Mount Rear X-Maxx Model: RPM81762 and this video may help you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn6kpKajjc6jrassi=YGQcxM3gE9izUHLD (minute:4:00/6:55)
