Tell us what YOU think of the MAXX SLASH!

[@maherkahala5269]

I like how Traxxas is doubling down on their super durable chassis such as the xrt a lower center gravity chassis like the xmaxx and not the max slash a lower center gravity to the maxx. For me I just think the performance is lack luster, I’ve seen how easily it flips & the way it jumps makes it feel like it’s a heavier rig than it actually is. Still won’t stop me from going out and spending $700 on it tho 😅

[@jayyoung6117]

i for sure will be getting one… early april they will be in the uk. Nice vid guys 👍👍

[@defiantfury7109]

[@Shellzwick]

I’ll stick to my Mojave 6s . This ain’t worth my money in my opinion . I didn’t like the maxx motor mount system , don’t want plastic driveshafts , don’t want slick tires , don’t want their electronics . Last but not least I don’t wanna upgrade like all my other Traxxas vehicles

[@rctd3260]

I agree. I’ll probably still end up getting one but I feel that my Mojave 4s is still better lol.

[@Shellzwick]

@@rctd3260 I’ll get one only if I can get it for great price . I might just convert my maxx to one cause how terrible it handles compared to my other cars

[@StraitJacketRC]

You recommend the truck, with an insane price tag without having driven it, and with so much negative experiences out there from people actually ran them, how is that?? In a world where only traxass exists I'm sure it would be fine. But, there are other options out there. Traxass doesn't have the die-hard fans like they used to, they will and do buy other brands and either of the Mojave are a better performer AND value. After watching actual running footage like Razer RC I would be very mad if I picked this up off your recommendations, just saying.

[@3X7Outdoor]

that's your opinion. are we supposed to make sure we tell everyone NOT TO BUY IT?

[@StraitJacketRC]

@@3X7Outdoor No, you are supposed to try it before recommending it. At least most people do that’s my opinion at least. The whole point of a video is so we can come to our own conclusions based on what you show. I’d recommend at least telling them to wait for the price drop like sledge had, since it was over priced and not selling. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@3X7Outdoor]

this wasn't a review

[@StraitJacketRC]

@@3X7Outdoor definitely not a review that’s for sure. Just an opinion from someone that hadn’t ran it yet but suggested you go buy one. I’m curious if you paid for yours.

[@Techie_ASMR]

woow.. i m glad i found your channel. so entertaining.. subbed. keep those great videos coming guys. Maxx v1 with wide arms kit is hella stable. so much fun. and since a smaller Tub chassis like the Xmaxx. mini maxx is like the most durable RC right now. maybe you need to change the drive shafts and the spur to metal. but that s it. you are good..

I agree the Maxx Slash should have been launched as the Raptor R, I think Traxxas missed that opportunity. Curios to see what switching the Maxx Slash wheel and tyre combo over to the E Revo makes a difference performance wise. Nice comparision content though.

Arguably with the scales it's the same as new omni terminator... called it 10 but more like 12 but it's bigger then some 12s I have... and your revo body is same size but wheel base way wider hense the size.... same as revo 3.3 vs hoss both 10 scale body's but the wheel base about double... but love the explanation and compassion dope vid

[@3X7Outdoor]

thank you for your insight!

[@Ichwiebrot]

Slash Maxx or UDR? I wonder what to buy, leaning towards UDR for the metal gear servo and larger suspension, but I don’t know for sure. Didn’t watch the full video before commenting, thanks for the detailed review!

[@3X7Outdoor]

I would personally say the slash maxx is going to be your best option because it's going to be pretty easy and self-explanatory to work on and the Mod support is wonderful

[@mikes062]

Both will be great trucks but it depends on how you want to drive it, the udr with the solid rear axle is more of a scale experience but if you’re looking for something to just drive everywhere and jump and beat on the slash is probably better for you. Either are great it just depends on what you want to do.

[@3X7Outdoor]

great insight!

[@mikes062]

@@3X7Outdoor thanks! My brother has a udr and it’s awesome but I don’t think it’ll bash like the Maxx slash. I picked up the losi hammer rey a few weeks ago in the horizon blizzard sale and it’s very similar to the udr, and while it’s an awesome truck and I’ve really liked running it, it does not handle like my 1/10 slashs so I’d imagine the Maxx slash is like those but even more capable

Something I’ve noticed a long time ago is the fact that they call them “clipless” bodies. Maybe they should say “pinless” because like on the Maxx Slash even though there not hood pins they still use a “clip” system. Just a thought.💭

Great vid, big fan! I grew up rcing with my dad! So we relate to your channel! Who’s going to be the first to throw a Widemaxx kit on the Maxx Slash? That should be interesting 🤔 lol.

[@3X7Outdoor]

i think "Do Rc" did something similar!

[@bazis98]

Dunno if anyone has pointed this out or not already, but the lower suspension arms are NOT Maxx arms. They have their own part number and are a slightly different design. The upper arms however are V1 Maxx arms.

[@3X7Outdoor]

it's debatable because how much of a difference does it actually make

It's 1/8 if you convert it to a buggy, but trophy trucks are large in real life. The original Slash is 1/10 scale. Just do the math based on the real thing.

The reason it's controversial is because it's handling, jumping is horrendous, servo and tires suck and it's priced like a premium vehicle which it definitely is not. If you want one, recommend waiting a few months when the people who care about performance are selling theirs.

I like this truck. I would consider buying it if it didn’t come with such ugly graphics. Not sure why Traxxas doesn’t make it look like a real truck with sponsor decals on it and such.

[@3X7Outdoor]

theres are green and blue and red bodies

[@dylanwhite6539]

The erevo is 1/8th scale. The sledge is a 1/8th scale, and the erevo was the same wheelbase and same size wheels. It was a silly thing from the original erevo era when the 1/8th class wasn’t fully developed yet.

[@3X7Outdoor]

thanks for the info!

[@jackschoen224]

That is a 1/8th scale truck as well as the erevo the slash in 1/10 and is still on the the bigger side of 1/10

erevo was called 1/10th

[@f687sNFM]

Controversial since its massively overpriced for what it offers, given the competition offers more for less the price I hear the handling is worse

[@3X7Outdoor]

going to have to get one and tell us

[@truerc]

Scale is just math. 1/8 would equal a 16.5 inch wheelbase if using the original 1/10 Slash as a base.

[@3X7Outdoor]

good to know

[@boduke9428]

I think I'd like it more if it was the Raptor R. Maybe the licensed body would make the price more acceptable. Having both Mojave 6s and 4s this isn't something I'm gonna buy but as a Ford guy i might if it was the Raptor. The running videos I've seen it doesn't seem to jump or handle very good. Again, more forgivable for a "scale" truck. I have a SBR 2.0 that doesn't jump or bash great but i love the truck. I wish this was the Xmaxx slash. Then I'd have one on preorder. A SBR 2.0 sized sct basher? Yes please. $1000 plus, no problem. Because then there is no alternative, much less a less expensive awesome options like the Mojave duo. Oh well. I'm sure Traxxas will survive without my business. Maybe Arrma will make a 8s Mojave or Losi would be just as good. For the record the clipless body is a negative for me. I get enough exercise chasing my Xmaxx and putting the body on after every crash. I prefer archaic body pins that actually hold the body on. Clipless is great for scale rigs or crawlers but not great for bashing.

[@3X7Outdoor]

I totally understand what you mean about chasing your X-Maxx body when it fall falls off 🤣 good take!

The maxx was a cool truck but I just thought it handled like shit. I tried new springs but just didnt vibe with it. Though I didn’t try 1M center fluid like my erevo. By far the erevo is the best truck traxxas has made. Least maintenance I’ve had to do on any RC.
