    I ran 2 new Traxxas 5000mah 3s batteries on my X-Maxx with Leopard BL-5 ESC and they puffed first run... Will only run that truck on 8s from now on. If you’re concerned about taxing the drivetrain, you can just reduce the throttle endpoint to like 75% or something like that. I’d be more worried about those 3s lipo’s than the truck. When Traxxas converted the X-Maxx from 6s to 8s they redesigned the diffs and everything to handle the increased power output. But I get it, I’m more like you than like other RC guys. I prefer to take care of my things versus “sending them to the moon”.

  • @jacobaustin8391
    @jacobaustin8391 4 роки тому +12

    you need the optional gearing to get it to go faster that's why it only does 40 on 8s.

    Hey MSM! I hadn't ran a bigger RC then my Traxxas UDR, but I bought a RC collection and there was a Redcat Rampage Chimera Sandrail EP Pro in the collection a 1/5 scale electric had no idea the size when they say "Coke Can" motor they're not kidding! So in bought some batteries for it 2 3S lipos and like you say it just glides over the ground so fun! I picked up a XMaxx that a guy went through and changed all the shocks and wheels and tires dust cover on it and 2 4S batteries of brand 9000s 100c and a bunch of extra body and parts and a full set of paddle wheels and tires and never even driven or powered up! I'm liking the 1/5 platform the truck is so Awesome and got a great deal on it all too!😯😉👍👋👋👋✔️💯

    I have the Maxx and Xmaxx. I bought the Maxx thinking it was a mini Xmaxx. I was so wrong. Dont get me wrong- Theyre both great bashers, but the handling is really different. First off, you want the Widemaxx kit if you go for the Maxx. It rolls over really easily, whereas the Xmaxx is planted well unless you're heavy on the throttle or youre doing double snaprolls. Anyway, go with the 6S with the Xmaxx. Its a basher and not geared for high speed runs anyway. 6S is plenty powerful anyway.

      I also bought the v2 maxx about a month before the Xmaxx and got 88km/h from it tops so far so visually I’m seeing an equal in speed. Keep in mind the maxx has smaller wheels in the grass so might get more from it. Both trucks completely stock, completely brand new with brand new traxxas 6700 batteries. When I put the link module in both of these trucks which I bought straight up to go in, it came up downloading vehicle to latest traxxas version.

      @@Todd_G_FPV cameras never do justice that is for sure! It is much bigger than my 2wd slash. Im not thinking about the weight to power ratio. My 2wd does 45 on 3s. So twice the size twice the power for the same speeds. I bet on 8s with gearing it would be a wheelie monster.

      Hey todd does the 20/50 gearing keep the same acceleration characteristics as stock or is 20/50 just better for speed runs? Does it strip easy i guess I’m asking?

    • @Todd_G_FPV
      @Todd_G_FPV 4 роки тому

      Even know its a higher speed ratio it actually seems to pick up acceleration better to me. I used it for all around driving... Bashing speed runs, jumping was better too because you could actually get the front to come back up im the air unlike the stock gearing

    I still have a first generation 6s Xmaxx, I built up the diffs and Hot Racing slipper set and bunch of other HR stuff and I like the 6s is more then enough, I'm not a big jump kinda guy , trying to jump houses and cars crap. I've been doing RC for over 30years and it's just never been my thing. One of my most fun trucks is my Team Associated MGT with .28 Big block. Honestly a better basher, all around truck then the Xmaxx.

    I’m buying a brand new Xmaxx in a day or so. I guess whenever I get a chance to
    get to the local hobby store. $899.99 doesn’t seem bad at all! And I’m gonna run 6S too, gonna use this as an only RC to play with my kids with, and have something to do in the yard. I am very familiar with Nitro, and brushless RC’s and usually high cell count lipo always finds the weakest link! Your pushing your luck on 8S with ripping tires, and breaking something. But maybe not! I have been out of the RC world for a couple years now. Maybe the Xmaxx is a good truck? I dunno. I guess we’ll have to find out! But I think 6S will be 100% reliable long term on a Xmaxx 8S model.

      If you’ve never owned a model RC before, spend some time and drive it as it comes out of the box. It’s plenty fast as it comes and it will take some time to acquire the hand eye coordination and reaction time to not trash it right away. If you’re dieing to plow into a tree right away though, all you need is to change out the spur/pinion and run a 3s lipo. Read your manual. 👍

    • @rustybogans2508

    I think you will only see the TRUE difference with the 8s when you gear it up... more power to work the higher teeth count possibly?
    the floating is most likely due to the tyres ballooning up at higher speeds... less surface contact... sure if you changed them to the higher spec ones it may not float?
    Any chance you could test these theories :)
