TRAXXAS XMAXX OR TRAXXAS XRT | WHICH ONE IS BETTER?

[@jondeak]

For those fortunate enough to have purchased an X-Maxx in 2015, the unboxing experience was truly unparalleled and likely one-of-a-kind. To celebrate the X-Maxx’s upcoming 10-year anniversary, it would be fantastic if Traxxas released a behind-the-scenes documentary featuring the engineering team who designed it, along with insights into the development and testing process. Such a tribute would honor the innovation and craftsmanship that made the X-Maxx a standout in the RC world.

[@JoeyAcerc]

Yea that would be awesome man. I just got the 3.3 T-MAXX love the nitro

[@V8chump]

Dude that would be incredible. The xmaxx really is the best basher you can buy. And In my opinion the 21 bronco is the best crawler. Thing outperforms my ascent fusion in most cases and looks incredible with the light kit and rock lights

[@MarkSantaMaria]

that would be pretty sweet

[@belkey3]

Got my xmaxx in early 2016 the 6S version still my favorite basher not one original part left on him though lol got enough spare parts yo build another one if I do it’ll be 2wd

[@polarlicht4758]

Or a 10 year anniversary edition for one year like the ultimate

[@PonkyKong]

I like the XRT because it drives like a Rustler.

[@SOMNIOHM]

*_8:55_**_ 😂Tic-Tac watching you guys sennnnd it!!!👽🛸_*

[@altonpolacek7196]

Just got my first x maxx which is a ultimate edition. The vehicle is just a beast and puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.

[@Hungrybird474]

Congrats

[@manski209]

Every time your buddy landed head on, sideways or upside down , i was going "ouch'. I was looking at how many parts were gonna see in this video. Can't believe how tough the XMax is. Great one Mark.

[@MarkSantaMaria]

we did break a few times... hahaha

[@GarcBomber]

Traxxass designs and markets for children and poor transmitter operators. Technical drivers build and purchase much better handling RCs.

[@BillysRC]

I find myself being more on the street with my xmaxx now these days but any time I go off road im really happy I have the clearance for everything

[@tonysmith7989]

The man comes prepared to keep running and the session not end quick do to having spare parts. As you hate to get out and 5 minutes later head back home or to the Local to pick up a part. 🤙

[@rantsandreviews]

5:09 2 Traxxas jump, 2 bodies go flying off. Classic.

[@martinmang1]

Unfortunately that does happen I wish they can fix that but outside of that I love Traxxas body fasteners so easy to install the body on the truck

[@rantsandreviews]

@@martinmang1 Oh yeah. Happens to me all the time.

[@rcsmith5909]

I have 2 Xmaxx including the ultimate and the XRT black edition, of course. I prefer the X Maxx as well. You should do more real bashing like your average person. That’s how most people run these cars hitting a ramp doing backflips having fun. Love this content.

[@MarkSantaMaria]

thanks man! the ultimates are awesome

[@rcsmith5909]

@@MarkSantaMaria I think this is crazy, but my ultimate is actually more durable than my stock X Maxx. And I have 21. 44 gearing on it.. I got the special hard and steel 44 tooth pinion that was made for the Maxx slash

[@rcsmith5909]

@@MarkSantaMaria thank you for being so involved in RC . And actually saying what’s up to your subs.👍🏼👍🏼

[@darrylclark6009]

As an owner of both, I prefer the XRT. Mainly because I don’t do much bashing.

[@austinturner5183]

Love your videos but I watch them when I get off work while my wife's a sleep and in order to hear you I turn to yo quite a bit and the the music montages hit and my speakers literally explode

[@DisasterRC]

The single screw holding the hinge pin in is cool but get the captured hinge pins. It adds strength to both the arms and bulkheads by making it a double sheer instead of a single sheer cantilever.

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Just picked up the xmaxx ultimate and man love seeing this content here on this channel , Keep up the awesome videos mark Stay awesome buddy Chris 🚀🤘🤙🫡💪👍👊😎

[@kennethmeyers5008]

I just got the black xrt. I don’t do bashing much. I mainly run on street

[@OGPAPERBOY77]

Best upgrade tip i got from you is replace the stock fans with Protek Fans Ive never had a problem with my stock esc motor So Thank you! I love them both own them both

[@MarkSantaMaria]

my xrt has the protek fans ;)

[@V8chump]

Most esc casualties are due to dead fans and not noticing. Aluminum fans are always much better

[@alc1824]

KRATON 💯

[@martinmang1]

Your choice but the x-maxx will always be the king

[@michaelregan427]

Widemaxx with a roof skid plate looks mean as hell. Loved mine just didnt use it enough.

[@joseCalderon1976]

I like the XRT for fast turns and racing around and long distance jumps. I like the Xmaxx for stunts, easier backflips and such. The XRT is easier to work on though. So yeah.

[@OGRCFanatic]

I agree about the handling of the XRT. For such a big RC car I was pleasantly surprised at how easily and smoothly it takes corners in my yard when I’m blasting around in the grass. It honestly slides through the turns so well and never gives me the feeling it’s gonna traction roll or flip on me.

[@andyb9994]

Im a fan of both the XRT & Xmaxx, either way somebody can't go wrong buying either one!!!

[@Adam.Morrison]

What makes the xrt wider? I thing they shared bulkheads and arms with the x maxx

[@X2SpaZ]

The self righting and full throttle back and forth is always been frowned upon I do it with my hoss,Maxx, and Xmaxx never had a problem in over 7 years

[@tonysmith7989]

Steady run to the jump and give more throttle as you hit the jup which gives a little throttle to work with incase you need to correct. You take that away if full speed to the ramp. ❤️

[@rcsmith5909]

I can’t wait to see how the Jato did🔥👍🏼

[@Tegridy_Rc]

I’ll be so happy if he films the whole race somehow

[@MikeScumaci]

Great video keep insinuating the Rc community. What kind of ramp is that? I am looking to buy one or make one

[@AgentChachi]

I just straight laugh at those Cybertrucks. 😂

[@DLAdventures2]

Both look like fun!

[@philwebb606]

Also xmaxx with wide kit on it is awesome

[@hespinohdos5410]

You are my favorite youtuber

[@MarkSantaMaria]

Thank you sir! Glad you enjoy the content!

[@slimey7054]

Please link the ramp

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

XRT. Reminds me of XL ERevo or XXL Rustler. I'd also go for a Sledge as well.

[@bryanhenn3223]

I would say pick the one that's going to fit your driving style and preference. That would be the best one to buy. Also you can see their jumps got a lot cleaner once the ramp stop shifting from being put in the grass

[@CalebBishop-f6f]

I have the new 8s xmaxx. Should I buy the xrt? What are the pros to the xrt

[@rmarkley79]

I had purchased the XMaxx a few months before the XRT came out. I honestly would have chosen the XMaxx anyway due to it's ability to tackle most terrain (love the monster truck styling and ground clearance it provides).

[@MarkSantaMaria]

yup... thats my pick

[@bashemrc6871]

I got upgraded xmaxx and xrt and exb 8s kraton and outcast and a cen reeper all juiced up xmaxx is my favorite of the big guys for sure

[@MikeDeckert]

What is that radio you have im the bed of your truck??

[@HeyronIndustries]

Can you please let me know what ramp you are using?

[@Barbariandisks]

A bmx track with those cars would be fun

[@Tegridy_Rc]

Please tell me you’re filming the jato race 😅 I wanna watch it

[@tonydrony1320]

Great video Mark..👌

[@RCscottyZ]

MARK, drive the jato brotha 🍩

[@MarkSantaMaria]

driving it this weekend

[@Savage1NJ]

Thought these were pretty much indestructible but after this video i dont think i want either anymore. Maybe a regular Maxx instead

[@joshuamurphy150]

Out of my friends the maxx is the one that breaks the most.

[@aaronsealey6811]

No rc is indestructible, but they both have great part support & are easier to fix than most!

[@Savage1NJ]

@ yes i understand this and i was being a bit sarcastic but from what most say, these rc cars are supposed to be VERY durable and the video showed it to not be as strong as expected. I have a rustler 4x4 vxl and the thing is broken more than my son and I can use it. Its annoying.

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

[@justinsmagula9579]

You should do a show on which is better max slash or 1/10slash

[@hondofourfivetwo9347]

Still wish I had the room to run either most of my local parks either aren’t a good spot to run any big fast RC’s (to many small kids pets etc) or just flat out don’t allow them otherwise I’d love an XRT

[@headlesskoopa]

I've never seen a park district deny usage of an RC car, does the local government expect you to run it on the sidewalk or public roadways?

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

They look fun

[@chrisp3360]

I got both. I prefer the Xmaxx.

[@heller127]

I have three xmaxxs and two xrts and it’s hard to say which one I like better but I did notice with the belted tires they handle different so I took them off and put the non belted tires on all of them

[@MarkSantaMaria]

I also like non belted tires better ;)

[@heller127]

@ I felt like when I was buying the non belted tires I was buying tires for my vehicle and not a rc car lol

[@justonjacoby4455]

With better Electronics the tires are just fine with proper upgrades on everything else out there

[@pronmega]

yea seems like the xrt is just ready to break all the time. i would rather just get a kraton 8s or an Xmaxx.

[@joshuamurphy150]

Loved this bashing video. And anyone who bashes knows that you can completely send your rc car for hrs one day and the next day you go to do the same sends and everything goes wrong. Cant make a decision based off one video tho. Side note im Impatiently waiting for my #RCBC box sometimes i wish i could pay for overnight shipping 😂

The Xmaxx is the baddest basher on the planet there expensive but if can afford one there super fun except there crappie steering servos 👍👍

[@rcsmith5909]

Self riting doesn’t blow your diffs. Especially if you use the Traxxas self riting button. I’ve been using it for years, never blown a diff when the self riting is working properly. It’s actually better than trying to self. Write your car by yourself. I’m sure it’s gonna be a great video by the way all of yours are.👍🏼🔥💪🏻👻

[@OGPAPERBOY77]

Ive only blown out tires once using that feature and Traxxas sent me a replacement pair 👍

[@rcsmith5909]

@ that’s crazy me too. And it was on the maxx. And I did blow my rear death on the maxx. But the self riting was just flooring, the throttle and not working properly.

[@rcsmith5909]

@ oh and a sidenote, my tires were filled with water. I didn’t know how to plug the holes and vent the tire back in the day. So basically my fault completely.

Simple answer. BOTH!!!! 🤬 the house fire that took 2 X-Maxxs and my XRT from me.

[@MarkSantaMaria]

crap... sorry man!

[@OGRCFanatic]

Bro that sucks. I’m so sorry to hear that. Same thing happened to my buddy last Christmas. A faulty lithium ion battery in a hover board he bought his son for Christmas started on fire in his garage and he lost all his RC cars. Some were irreplaceable gifts he’d had for 20 years. He didn’t have big expensive cars like XMaxx and XRT. But he did have a 6s outcast older version and a ton of 1/10 scale vintage electric and nitro vehicles. He probably lost 15 RC cars in that fire. I hope you’re able to get yourself a few more soon, man. That’s awful to hear.

[@Dakmaxx1218]

@OGRCFanatic Yeah it blows. Probably 20 Total RCs lost in the fire. 1/16 Summit with an Apocalypse body too that's is impossible to find these days. I hear those hover boards and robot vacuums are both bad fire starters. 🥴
