    Own a Maxx Erevo 2.0 and Xmaxx. Is this somewhat durable, do not really jump my RC's all that much; just run them into mailboxes. Also how is the maintenance workability/servicing on the 1/16 scale compared to a 2.0?

    • @RCInsiders
      @RCInsiders  Рік тому

      Lol I hear ya' 😅Have ran into plenty on mail boxes!
      Funny enough, this is one of the few I have that I have not broke it yet. It is not driven daily, but it has it's fair share of bashing on it. As far as maintenance, I would say it's similar. I will say it is a little more difficult as everything is tiny compared to the 2.0.
      Are you getting one? I would say it is far & away the best 1/16 I've had.

    Is it all on stock here? I am looking for some small model while in travel, but I need sth durable. How often do you change him shock and diff oil?

    • @RCInsiders
      @RCInsiders  Рік тому

      Hi,
      Yes it is stock. This is one of the few RC's I have that have zero mods.
      It runs the same now as when it was new.
      It's a little on the expensive side for a 1/18, but it easily out performs any other 1/18 or 1/16 I've had out of the box.
      I have never changed the diff or shock oil to date.
      I think it would make the perfect travel basher 😁

    When you do big jumps with it, doesn't it bottom out? The arms also look very fragile. I jump my vehicles and was just looking at buying this revo but was worried about those issues.

    • @RCInsiders
      @RCInsiders  Рік тому

      Hi,
      I haven't done a ton of jumping with it, but with high jumps it did have some minor body slap. With smaller trail jumps it did fine.
      I've had it for a while now & haven't broken the arms yet. I've been through 2 sets of tires & they are still good. In the 1/16 world, this has been my favorite.
      When I hit the skate park for big air, we always go with the MAXX.

      @@RCInsiders I just got back into RCing after a 20+ year break. My favorite jumper was my T-max that I did a dynamite .26 conversion on. The only problem was that the gears could not handle the power and I would replace them every 2-3 runs. The original revo came out around that time which I bought but shortly after, I stopped. I still have the original revo in almost perfect condition. I am currently changing my t-maxx to electric which is nostogic and fun but is costing way more than I expected. lol

      So far, it is way faster than the other ones. At this point, my fastest rc was the haiboxing 16890a. This beast leaves that one in the dust. I am installing lights on it, because we do some driving at night. I used 2s and 3s batteries on it (using a converter on it).
      I bashed my HBX rcs a lot. I am hoping that this one will do even better.
