Wow How Good Is This at the Skate Park? Traxxas Mini Maxx

[@RCRoads]

Nice job testing out the Mini Maxx at the skate park. I think all of the mini's do well in that environment because they are light weight. The mini Maxx is quite a bit bigger than the Grom or the mini LMT so I would imagine that it out performs them off road. If I was to buy another mini it would be the mini Maxx. 👍 Awesome showing ... thanks for the great content. 🫶

[@thercstore.]

@RCRoads the mini maxx done well at the skate park and this was in cold temperatures! Due to the bigger wheels, it does perform better than the groms on grass. But the 223s groms are on a different level when it comes to speed dirt and tarmac. The LMT is more suited to a monster truck style than skate parks to be fair. The lighter weight on the minis helps massively! Thank you for supporting the channel it's really appreciated!

[@RCRoads]

@@thercstore. Good advice and insight. I don't really visit skate parks that often because of breakage and bad driving skills. The mini's hold up quite well but the larger ones not so much. At least for me.

[@thercstore.]

@RCRoads it all comes down to practice. It's bad landings that kill it. But it's all a part of the hobby, I guess.

[@RCRoads]

@@thercstore. 3.2 v6 quattro and i know you are a stig just like me so its gotta be a manual??

[@thercstore.]

@Marts112 Yeah, it's my little run around car, and it's a manual 3.2. Perfect to run about in and put a few rc cars in, especially on the country roads here. If you have followed the channel, you would know I'm in to my cars and have a few. I believe there's been clips of a few others on the channel.

@@thercstore. i'm new to the channel but i will go back and have a watch over the weekend, i am the same bro i LOVE my cars and i know a car guy when i see one ;) i've been looking at the mk2 TTS and i thinking about getting one tbh and you get a lot of car for the money

[@thercstore.]

@@Marts112 Decent reliable fun cars for the money. I'm sure you will enjoy it if your a driver driver. All my other cars are big engines V8 V12 etc hence I brought this as a run around, To be honest I use this the most. Its not fast but fun and blends in on the road if that makes sense.

Nice run 👍👍

[@thercstore.]

Thank you!

[@fiatfixie4344]

I was tempted to get something like this as a small area basher. The more I think about it though, it's probably better to stick with 10th scale. When Arrma updates the Granite like they did their other 3s vehicles, that'll be a winner.

[@thercstore.]

@fiatfixie4344 If you have a small area that you can drop a small ramp on like a back garden, this is ideal.

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

One my favorite Rc to drive , mine is in Rc junkyard 😢, i probably get 2.0 myself or old one on clearance

[@mugenmattsedits3908]

I just ordered the black one 😁 from Traxxas ​@@thercstore.

[@brycebillmire]

I have 2 ordered can’t wait to get them.

First Like for my guy Amo.. wow it sure looks the part 😊.. have fun brother 😊

[@thercstore.]

@dronesdogs3798 Cheers dre!

[@Sluijs13]

Nice. It looks like it can take big hits because it is a light vehicle 👍🏻

[@thercstore.]

@@Sluijs13 True say!

[@Booth73]

What scale is this truck? I keep hearing different sizes ive heard from 1/14 all the way to 1/11th but is it closer to 1/12th or 14th? Lets ask it this way. Compared to something like the rlaarlo omni terminator hows the size compare?

[@thercstore.]

@Booth73 I don't have a rlaarlo omni, so i couldn't compare aginst that. However, at the end of the video, I carry out a comparison for size. It's a 1/12th scale.

[@Booth73]

@thercstore. oh awesome. Ty i honestly haven't finished the video yet so I didn't see that part but tyvm. I may end up picking one up now. But my big thing was I dont want a 14th scale truck again they just seem to small for me. I have like 3 10th scale cars and 2 14th and the small ones never get used bc i hate the size. Just personal opinion lol

[@thercstore.]

@Booth73 which is fair! It all depends on where you use them, etc, too. In the unboxing video, I put it next to a 16th to show the difference. In this video, I have put it against a 12th to show the size.

[@Booth73]

@thercstore. tyvm for even replying and helping me out. Ur video once I finished watching it was brilliant. Very great video and I thank KZbin for putting u on my feed to find ur video's.

[@magnusjensen7651]

This or the Gorgon?😊 have tried the Gorgon and like it but needs to be on 2S, but have not tried Mini Maxx👍🏼

[@gillian9178]

Tomley done the rear diff in his, I understand there are no upgraded diffs available.

[@thercstore.]

@gillian9178 Phil most likely put a vxl 3s system in it and sent it! It all comes down to how it's used. A hobbywing max10 sensored motor would be a safer option. However, if the diffs are breaking with 3s under normal use not jumping, then there's a problem.

[@Negern91]

I didn't se it in his video, where can I see this?😁🥰

[@thercstore.]

@Negern91 he's not posted the video yet. It will be out soon

[@mlamoon]

Yh he put a vxl in doin standing backflips hmmm shurwing!

[@mlamoon]

Wheres that park? Cant dind many around brum ​@@thercstore.

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

Is it closer to a slash chassis or maxx ?

[@thercstore.]

@RcPlayer-tt2vw I've only compared it to what I own. Which was the x maxx. However, some people have stated it's closer to the slash. I have done a full unboxing video it's pinned at the top of the comments if you would like to see the chassis in detail.

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

@ I seen it and forgot , I read a comment as well and was just curious. I guess if shock towers are incorporated it’s a maxx style , either way it’s there style .

[@Soney_Manic]

Looks ok. Might get a green one. To join my collection.

[@thercstore.]

@Soney_Manic For you, my friend, this is a must! Just so you can put it next to the others. 😬

[@Soney_Manic]

@ yup. Have all 4 then. Well the Maxx’s and xrt. My little green goblins. So yeah. Would be nice to have it become part of the family.

[@dudeimdano]

.......NOICE!!!!

[@thercstore.]

@@dudeimdano Thank you! Not bad for a small truck !

[@Harvz78]

That's a compliment ripped off from Traxxas . Everybody I know ends up spending more money upgrading it to 3S , but the drive train can't handle the 3S. The Rlaarlo Rog 1 is much cheaper, but you get a lot more.

[@thercstore.]

@Harvz78 In my opinion, you can't compare the two. You're comparing a 10th scale with a 12th. Everyone is quick to jump on the negatives, but bare in mind that most of the faults are after the trucks have been modified. Not defending Traxxas just stating that it's an unfair comparison. If you're comparing, yes, of cause the Rlaarlo is a better car from videos I have seen as I don't own an ROG1. Rlaarlo has great cars but by far the worst customer service and support, which for me i wouldn't purchase anything from them ever again. I agree that the mini maxx is not perfect but used out the box as intended. It's a good small fun truck.

[@dudeimdano]

NOICE!!!!!

[@thercstore.]

@@dudeimdano Thank you

[@vintagerc9173]

TRAXXAS raised price to $269.99 FOCK That

[@thercstore.]

@vintagerc9173 a bit unfair how they just raised the prices. It's still cheaper than the UK $353.17 USD here.

[@fusionfabengineering]

I heard its $250 at the LHS still.

[@thercstore.]

@@fusionfabengineering If its available? unless you can pre order at that price. So much cheaper than what we have to pay!

[@butchmeister80]

Taking your new Rc to a concrete skate park equals scrapes and scratches all over it lol should of picked all that litter up looks a dump ha, as you say this is to small and slow ok for kids but at the price it is seems a lot can get better for less!

[@thercstore.]

@butchmeister80 the purpose of the skate park was to show you guys it's capable but not to expect something crazy! Picking the litter up? I pay my taxes here in the UK. I guess the council really needs to be doing their job! Litter in the UK is a major issue. After watching this video, at least you know if the car is for you or not, I guess 🤷🏽‍♂️ and that's the purpose of doing in-depth unboxings and first run videos 😉

[@butchmeister80]

@ not for me but good content I would of picked the litter up every good deed helps 👌🏼

[@thercstore.]

@@butchmeister80 appreciate the support!

[@matthewscarborough2597]

once broken in i bet it will hit 30 lol

[@thercstore.]

@matthewscarborough2597 It's most likely down to the temperature. The lipos perform better with a bit of warmth! But done well with these temperatures

[@davidbradley6448]

Your lipo won't perform well at that temp......0c is too cold! Warm your pack, and you'll get 30mph+ I got 31mph with a warm pack yesterday at 1C

[@thercstore.]

@davidbradley6448 Fair play! No warming here, unfortunately. I wanted to show viewers this right out the box just to be transparent. But you are right, at these temps, if I did warm the battery up, I would have achieved that 30mph like you said! Hence, I made the temps clear on the video. Thank you for supporting the channel. It's really appreciated!

[@gillian9178]

Where not disputing a whole 1 - 2 mph are we lol, just get one of the various MJX trucks. 2.5 - 3 times cheaper, much faster & tougher.

[@thercstore.]

@@gillian9178 I started the channel with the MJX Hyper go series. I still have them all. Epic value for money!

[@joshuaclark3414]

Overpriced! They’ll release a vxl version for $375 soon 😂 crazy they get away with charging so much for their stuff with so many other brands out there offering more for less 🤷‍♂️

[@thercstore.]

I totally hear you! If you have followed our journey you would know I hated Traxxas before I even gave the brand a chance, I thought it was over priced cheap and plastic. I took a leap last year and brought a X MAXX (having the full ARRMA range) I thought I wasted my money on this X MAXX. It was only when I started bashing it I realised how forgiving and durable the plastic X MAXX was compared to my Kraton 8s EXB and Outcast EXB. However I still thought it was over priced. But where the XMAXX came in to its own was cost of parts. Parts are so cheap on the XMAXX in comparison to Arrma. I guess that's why Traxxas over charge initially for the product to begin with. ps I don't support any brand! I just buy what I like and enjoy.

[@make4all2000]

With bigger pinion I think is work better , but never drive like a Arrma

[@thercstore.]

I'm guessing you could gear it up! 🤔

[@joshuaclark3414]

Facts

[@thercstore.]

@@joshuaclark3414 The Arrma Grom BLX is a much faster platform hands down. The mini maxx moves better on grass in comparison to the Grom, But if I had too choose one out the two I'd personally go Arrma grom blx.

[@japyoo2248]

Way overpriced but i still ordered one.

[@thercstore.]

@japyoo2248 🤣🤣🤣 I hear you! It is a little pricey for what it is. But on the plus side parts prices are cheapppppp!

[@japyoo2248]

@thercstore. Cheap?! Shocks are like 80 bucks lights 45 this thing aint cheap same for parts.

[@BrokenArrow699]

way to less power in my opinion, they should have brought this in a 3s capable version as stock...

[@thercstore.]

It would have been great if they supplied it with a 2s lipo as they have but stated 3s capable!

[@FLEXXDIDIT]

It’s the most powerful mini out 🫤 wtf are you talking about it’s a mini 😂 people are stupid
