If the odd breakage doesn’t make you cry into your toolbox and you like a bit of wrenchin’ it’s a great truck. Very good performance and drive. Join the MT8 private group on Facebook for all the info! Happy Christmas dude 🍺

£289 brand new? Can’t argue with that! HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS WITH A C!!! All the best dude. See you soon 🍺 #PONTYPANDYFEST

Good so see you back brother! Thought you’d gone full crawler mode! 🐌 Dropped the gears back to 20/50 now after having them at 20/46 last few runs. Got a Notorious on order so might need your advice on beefing it up. Happy Christmas brother. Peace ✌️

@SnoriRC yeah man no worries at all, u know me I'm always happy to help, me and FLIP SIDE have both said we want a notorious lol bad ass trucks

@@BIGALSCRAWLERS Yes. Hopefully be a good truck to own. Reviews seem good and I like a little stunt truck me! Been loving my little Granite recently.

@@SnoriRC u still.got the mt10? My mate has just got one and loves it

@ No I sold that to a friend. Good little truck that! The Granite I’ve got has a middle diff now so is similar in a lot of ways. I actually think the Arrma is a stronger truck.

It’s great fun and parts are peanuts 🥜 I’ve forgotten how fast and light they are!! This level of jumps sheared the Aliexpress diff out drive off. Just ordered a proper Arrma one from Jenny’s. Hopefully fit the existing mount I’ve got!

Never been great with calendars…. 😅

Modelsport. It’s like a basherbody thickness wise. Easy to install but you need the inner cradle from inside a normal Traxxas shell. The roof skids are also not included! Seems solid. Bit more open in the wheel arches than the stock jocker. More dirt ingress. I’ve swopped gearing down to 20/50 otherwise I can’t use these Sledgehammers. I zapped the batteries down at the local football pitch and the ESC went sold red - to much amperage load - and dropped to 50% power. So it’s really pulling some electric with these big wheels and high gearing!!! #PONTYPANDYFEST

Two days ago. I like the videos to include all the latest RC releases…. 😂

🥶

You’re not wrong!!! - I’ve been caught out many times with one car breaking inside 10 minutes. The Maxx is a ridiculously good/expensive back up car! 🍺

It was just the mesh! The motor shifted a couple millimetres. Nothing major. Took her out again today and she was brilliant! Yes sometimes the urge to tweet and upgrade doesn’t always make for improvements. I’ll be keeping this 3S and light as possible. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Cheers 🍺

The Maxx V2 is a great truck. I think it drives well for a basher. No issues about it at all. 👍 Thanks for watching.

🎉

That was a proper impact!!! 💥

I’ve seen you commenting on here for years! Finally convinced you! 😂 Remember to join the FB group (if you can be bothered) loads of info on there and 700+ MT8 owners ready to help. 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The plastics are pretty durable and I think as long as you give them a little time to acclimatise from the warm to the cold they should be fine ❄️

Yes - Thanks for pointing that out. The camera slipped on my head. MUST TRY HARDER.

Thanks bruvva!! Glad you like it 🍺

Still feel modern and well designed. They make competitors like the MT10 feel like relics. Loved getting this one off the shelf and bringing it back!!

I did a follow up video but accidentally deleted it. Rear shock broke at the bottom fixing as you’ve described. Replaced with some EXB 6S Kraton fronts. See how they last!

There is a video on UA-cam where he does the big rock conversion to centre diff. Did you go for the 2400kv motor on the hobbywing. Been thinking of doing that myself

@@sauceNkicksthis is all stock electronics. BLX 100 and stock motor.

@@SnoriRC the question was for markjohnmorris. He said he put a 4s hobbywing in his big rock. Just wondering which kv motor he put in

@sauceNkicks hey, i lied a bit. Its a Surpass Hobby 3674 2500kv and HW 10BL120. Lowered pinion to 13T. Wheelies like a maniac and still get 51mph on my gps! 👍👍 got 2 6500mah youmepower 4S lipos, about 25mins bashing each!

@@MarkJohnMorris Aliexpress - about £35 for the whole middle diff assembly small but if modding needed but nothing major. 👍

😵‍💫

Trying to get a triple out the XMaxx is going to be fun!! 🤩

That’s kind of you to say. It is really me just thinking out loud while I run the trucks. 1 battery. No real editing. See what happens!! 👟

Yes they are definitely a good option for metal upgrades on these Traxxas rigs. Probably won’t add much more as I’m aware I’m adding a bit of weight each time. Did you spot the triple? Never thought this truck would do that 🎉

@ No I haven’t got all the way through the video yet but I’ll be looking out for that one. Very nice popping a triple. They are great trucks. If I didn’t have the MT8 the maxx would be right up there on my next choice.

@@JPBashed very strong in certain areas.

I had to Google that! 😂

That’s a great servo! The Ecoboost are also excellent. I’ll grab the link and add it to my comments. Or join join the MT8 private group on Facebook. All the info is in there. 👍

It’s hard to tell when it blew but I think this one actually blew a few weeks ago and I re-used the clip (never as good again). Also bent a rear drive shaft pretty badly. Don’t think that battery shifting around inside helped with the flight dynamics! 😅

@@SnoriRC don’t matter if you put a new clip on it just blows again next landing like that. That’s why I upgraded to the Arrma internals as I was blowing a shock every trip out. Yes I’m a stupid ass with mine so yours may last longer but it’s going to happen.

@@SnoriRC oh bummer. Yea you are right, even if you fit a new C Clip they are never the same again after! That landing on the wheel would pop it off every time after repaired!!! That’s why I went to the Arrma internals and touch wood haven’t had any issues since. Ouch I’ve only ever bent one drive shaft and that was also a bent chassis too. Yea the battery tray coming out sucks. It’s amazing they stay in as the screws are rather small 😂

Looks like some small rope that wrapped around the wheel Good eyes I had to watch again to see it

Think it was a bit of undergrowth got stuck in there! 🌴

1mill will be nice and it won’t spin on its axis like mine does as much. Those prolines will take the abuse anyway. Great tires!

@@Wannabe_wheelieking I used to think the same and it’s all about what you want out of the truck. I wouldn’t ever do it on my basher as I live the stock diff fluid it comes with. However the speed runner has the earplugs in the centre diff. It defo helps keep the wheels down.

Great truck isn’t it!!! 🔥

I haven’t got a slope here so that would be difficult to pull off!

@@tuckerridgetv2314 Those 2.054 ones I have are silver coloured not black. It must be the poor light in cloudy England. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

​@@SnoriRCLOL - thanks for the reply

@@tuckerridgetv2314 you’re welcome dude 👍

Yeah. I’ve sussed it out and you’re right it does change mesh. Grit gets under the motor, slowly builds up. I think it finds its way in when the chassis flexes. It’s got a hexagonal pattern underneath the motor mount that fills with grit. Large bits of flinty stuff. Eventually puts upward pressure on the motor mount. I’ve now filled the hexagons with caulk/glue and ordered a dusty motors cover.

Game changing £3 Snori™️ upgrade.

@@SnoriRC building up quite a list of parts now. Where’s the website or ebay links? 😂

@@JPBashed hahaha!! All free to help the community #CHARITY

@@SnoriRC checked and the Charity said no mods and no money here please see MIT for full funding ✋

Yeah. I’ll likely return to the head cam. 👍

@@SnoriRC I think they are better to be fair.

@@JPBashed track the car better.

@@SnoriRC 100%

In for a penny in for a pound 💸

🔭

Can’t wait to see Chris break his new one 😂

@@SnoriRC haha, ohhhh yes

I honestly didn’t think I’d ever get a backflip out of this - let alone a double. All in the gearing and the ramp height obviously. It actually rotated for fun - I just hit the ramp quick so didn’t have much extra to get the double off in time! Phenomenal truck.

@@SnoriRC I must admit I’m looking at one or more at the XRT I’m just not sure which one. Thinking the XRT is better for many reasons but the XMAXX is more fun.

@@JPBashedHow you drive the XMaxx all the way. XRT needs chassis strengthening with its shortened shock towers and smaller shocks bruv. 👊
