Agreed Again! This channel is in my top three. The presenter is passionate and thorough and tests the expensive models too. Certainly, it’s good to show the less expensive cars and trucks etc but I like variety, quality, reliability and styling which some of these other brands fail so miserably.
Totally agree with you, it’s a fantastic truck. Yes, Traxxas are tight when it comes fitting a decent servo, metal gears and esc but once you’ve done this, there’s no looking back.
Funny that at 40 years old this was my first RC car! Been hooked ever since to all aspects of the hobby! The XMAXX "Bruce Banner" started it all!!! What a first RC!!!! 💯
@@AMain_HobbiesUpgrades I did to mine...arrma spextrum radio( hate traxxas radios)😋tbone racing front bumper, traxxas HD steering arms, hot racing adjustable servo arm, max6 esc, 13mm hex extension with arrma copperhead tires and RC Monster wheel nut adapters, hot racing motor mounts, rpm oversized hub carriers with bigger bearings, traxxas servo metal gear set in stock servo, eBay 3d printed center shaft support block....as far as the servo saver would be vitavon or hot racing or the traxxas HD spring but you better have the metal gear servo...plastic gears will strip.....on stock gears still...maybe hot racing or gpm gears next....ehhhh, its a project😅
X-MAXX is a great car☝🏻. Just a little thing. X-maxx is for people and countries where there is a lot of space. I'm happy to find a place for a new 1/10 car or boat. I had the same problem yesterday. Well, I can't imagine where I would place such a giant in a city in the middle of Europe, and especially where to ride with it. There are people everywhere. It's easier for you. But thumbs up for the 8s X-maxx👍🏻👍🏻
That’s a mistake a lot of people make.. they don’t realise just how powerful it is, and to utilise it to its full potential, you need alot of space that’s readily available… if you don’t have this then I would probably recommend either the Maxx or the hoss
I love mine….bought it as an early 8s in 2017. Been beating it ever since…..could use a new body and did break stuff along the way….but still a pile of smiles every time I take it out
Guy love your videos brother. I know you have a love hate relationship with your xmaxx , we all do, but could you imagine an xmaxx that's 16 percent larger, I'd have to have one , so would all my buddies that own an xmaxx.
I was a hardocore basher, noothing but bash, no racing. you can build any rc to be a good basher, but there was nothing like fully built Hpi baja as a basher. I was soooo happy to own Xmaxx, the reason being it was that it IS a true basher out of the box. you can jump a single story house (i did) and the truck will be fine. this thing is a beast!
I really love my X-Maxx. It's upgraded with huge electronics, so I can do double backflips no problem! 53 mph off road and it's very durable. Even upgraded, it is a durable beast with some minor upgrades so that it can take the extra power. I always do something like what you did :hit something in the middle of a field. I put a longer bolt with a nut on the other side of that bolt on that shock tower. I got tired of the bolt coming loose. Hehe. I hate concerte landings at skstepsrks. They really damage your RC too much!
@@michaelschwab9563Just for 20/50 gearing and just upgrade IF your ESC goes bad. I just like insane things like double backflips off small jumps. But it's not necessary. I have a video of my upgraded Xmaxx Vs a stock Xmaxx with 20/50 gearing. I'll look for it. Do you have an Xmaxx already?
I just brought myself the Xmaxx. Amazing machine! I had the privilege of driving the XRT but it’s definitely not me. My biggest issue with the XRT was chassis slap. The Xmaxx just feels so much nicer personally. I look forward to seeing your XRT vs Xmaxx thoughts. Thanks mate 😊
You Nailed the XMaxx Out of the Box 😂 I never broke something on my XMaxx it's my sons favorite RC Car. The only thing I changed on XMaxx are Two servos. They are so bad...
Great video. I love my xmaxx, but definitely has its cork's, as all other rc's do. But what I would love to see Traxxas build is an xmaxx that's 16 percent larger, but as a roller no electronics, come on Traxxas just do it!!
Great video, i also love my xmaxx. Its a little bit upgraded with some m2c parts + a hobbywing max 5 combo with a 800kv motor. Gearing wise im using the 1.5 mod from vitavon 30/30. Man that thing was a beast stock but now its just a monster. Drives over 60mph and do double standing backflips all day long. I just love it. The only thing im going to upgrade if i have a little bit more time again is the radio to an dumborc. The stock traxxas radio have such an big delay after like 40-60 meters its just annoying.
I just bought a suped-up second-hand Xmaxx for $1200, as expensive as a new one but probably has close to a grand in upgrades. I can't wait! Been buying crawlers for the last 2 years...This is no crawler!
I have a 8s Xmaxx but only run it at 6s as the batteries were waaay cheaper and I was able to get more of them, it still does 30mph on my GPS a does wheelies no problem and have never had a tire come unglued and this is my 3rd summer with it. I got my first hobby grade RC car when I was 8 ( Tamiya Fox ) and now at 44 this is my favorite RC vehicle of all time so far, still has nothing on my Heli's though....but would not get rid of it for anything else.
When i saw this video just uploaded, was expecting a new XMAXX for 2023😂 had to go to my basement to compare my year old XMaxx 8s.. was happy to see its the same model🤦🏻♂️🤣
These things are killing my bank account. Bought one new for Christmas, 3months later my buddy broke the front bulk head. So I made him feel better by getting the Xmaxx ultimate with plans to fix the xmaxx and put it head to head
The xmaxx is my favourite rc car of all time, got 2 stampedes, a 3s typhon and 3s granite, an outcast 8s, kyosho inferno neo and nothing beats the xmaxx!
@@tmar352 they are very different man, the xmaxx is my favourite but I only have a notorious 6s to compare and I also like what the notorious does… in terms of design traxxas cars feel more up to date and more r&d put into them compared to arrma, but again, do you like truggies or big monster trucks?
One thing I always found funny about 5th scale is, how people ask me "Where are you gonna run that huge thing?!". Like: where am I NOT gonna run it? Even an 8th scale struggles with TONS of basher spots, because of huges rocks, mile high grass, roots, etc. A 5th scale has a much easier time running on most spots.
Had mine for 6 years, 2nd speed controller 2nd servo (old 1 died so got the metal gear version) replaced fan due to vibrations from missing fan blade that broke off at some point added GPS receiver added light kit added bicycle vanity plate took the guts out of the bluetooth 4 channel controller placed in older style controller housing because it supports docking base for mobile devices for traxxas link app and (receiver) rechargeable battery pack that can be used in the old style controller 1 day I was at a park that has a pond, I took my eyes off it for 10 seconds, I was like where did my truck go, I see the water rippling in the pond, I said, o no, please don't tell me what I think happened, walked to the edge of the pond and their it was, upside down in the pond, it rolled back into the pond, wish these had a parking brake hold (maybe ill create 1 using a micro servo) lol, I reached into the pond, grabbed it out, it was fine, drove like normal, hit it with a hair dryer when I got back home just to make sure
every single time is see this car i lose perspective on just how big it is when its driving without a human to measure against. great video. goat basher.
Out of the box I straight away lined the inside of the body with gorilla tape, upgraded the ESC, steering servo, tyres and added drive shaft cup retaining rings… aswell as going over all the fluids and checking everything was adequately greased etc while I was at it… might seem like a bit, but it only took me about a day to do and a year later *touch wood*…I have not had to touch a thing on it, I charge the batteries, bash it all day long, then clean it and shelf it…. That’s it!
Traxxas has always made cool stuff, and continue to push the boundaries of R/C trucks and innovation. Other manufactures just don't GET it. I used to sell First version T-maxx's like hot cakes when I worked in a hobby shop as a kid. I only wish they would sell pro kits you could build yourself.
Should I get one?? I currently have a V1 Maxx and a Slash 4x4 Ultimate, thinking of trying to sell these 2 and go for the X-Maxx. It really does seem to be the pinnacle of bashing from what I have seen and read. Brett, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you do an excellent job with your videos and reviews, I watch stuff that I’m not even 100% interested in because the content is that good. Early congrats on getting to 300k subscribers! Only a matter of time now!
Thanks Michael! The X-Maxx is a lot of fun and really similar to your V1 Maxx, just super sized. It might be the ultimate basher to have. The only con is the extra battery requirements, but you might have all the 4S packs you need. -Brett
Immediately on the Xmaxx you have to change the steering servo then change the ESC because you can’t program the stock ESC. You change the ESC so that you can turn up the bec voltage for the new steering servo that can handle higher voltage to operate faster for better steering and handling which will turn those big tires much better. Don’t forget that you’re gonna need an adapter for that new steering servo because the Traxxas fifth scale servo is proprietary.Then change the tires because they’re going to get a tear after a couple of runs. You’re gonna need a new body shell after the truck basically flips a couple of times about five runs to be exact why becuase there’s no reinforcement on the body shell around the shock tower posts that will break right through. So basically what I’m saying is you have to drop about 500 bucks into this truck after purchase just to make it steer really good and handle right also to replace very short life items like the body shell and tires. For me monster trucks in RC have always been very gimmicky. Yes they look cool but they don’t handle great they constantly roll because of the high center of gravity when cornering which quickly makes them not fun to drive with very bad handling. If you look at the market a large majority of fast RC vehicles sit lower to the ground because it makes for better performance and handling and you can still jump them which = more fun.
Absolutely true. Also its hard to find a good RTR car for bashing. You have to put lots of money in most if not all RTR cars to make them fun. Thats why i stick to competition kits from brands like Team Associated, Tekno RC, Xray or Yokomo for example.
best bang for your buck is redcat machete for $400 and have a huge truggy that will last plus have $600 to do all the upgrades you want instead of the xmaxx
@@LyroLife My losi dbxl-e replaced my Xmaxx and is so much more fun to drive, stronger and better made in my opinion then the Xmaxx. I also don’t like the Xmaxx build geometry I think it’s a pain to work on over a more traditional RC layout. I’m currently building my first nitro build a team associated RC8T4 truggy.
Every time I went to pull trigger on a xxmax I went with a Losi or arrma , the xxmax is a grab and go and perfect for guys who aren’t race oriented. One of the best rcs but you’re going pay extra just because. I think I read final product to build is around 250/ 300$ no other companies is that strict with their profit margins, they use the extra money to crush the competition 😂
sorry but i don't believe , you maybe use it one battery, that's impossible if you got the car more than 4 days running everyday. let me know something in the next round you will believe me lol
@@nunosantos2015have been using the xmaxx for the last 2 years almost every weekend and had 0 issues other than stripped servo and 2 bearings needing replacements
@@DashzRight that can't be possible man, i had mine 1 years and half and every run something broke maybe i'm a bad pilot or you are the luckiest guy in the world lol but i don't in a single word you saying 😂
It's crazy after getting the Xmaxx it really needs a good bit of space. Best rc car ever made in RC world. I wish I never bought the E-revo 2.0 worse rc car breaks to easy 10mins in running.
I've got rival mt10 and kraton 4s v2 but my dream is to own xmaxx,I've got terminal cancer so I'm hoping I can fulfil my dream before I go,not many things in life make me smile like the rush of taking out my infected devil's,takes my mind off my problems for a few minutes👍🔥
My biggest complaint after a few years is that pin system that traxxas uses for the motor. I’ve had those pins push right though the plastic. It makes it nearly impossible to get the gear mesh correct, and leads to a lot of stripped pinion and spurs. And, it’s not easy to diagnose. And worse part is, replacing that rear bulkhead is basically a complete rebuild of the truck. Traxxas needs a new system to perfect the mesh that is more consistent and durable. The stripped gears is the worst part of my xmaxx. And I’m sure it’s that pin system they use. The engineering behind the system is awesome. But if you run the truck hard, you will have issues with gear mesh.
A precision scalpel it isn't. After 4.5 years with a Max 6 powered X-Maxx it's definitely my favourite RC. has the V3 parts (Bigger bearings in the front and rear hubs) It just doesn't care what I throw at it. I don't abuse it with reckless abandon but It's flown further and taken more hits than anything else I've bashed. Absolutely love it. XRT is the next on my purchase list. I love the size and power of these trucks.
Decisamente gran bel video ,ottima recensione e come sempre viene voglia di acquistare un mostro simile! Ma praticamente è fatto al 90% di plastica...credi che valga un prezzo finale di 1200 euro?
I bought 4 of these beasts because of Kevin Talbot smashing them at Skate Parks. I don't regret it. With a few simple upgrades, they are so freaking tough. One of mine is on 12s, which is 2 x 6s lipos in series. It is crazy fast and powerful! I used a lower Kv motor of course. It's actually getting more run time too.
4k before upgrades lol i like the truck 🛻 hate the company , I have the regular max I pretty much wore everything out knowing I’d rebuild it for 200 with the body till they stop seized the whole salers
@@RcPlayer-tt2vw I'm not a fan of the company's ethics either. Unfortunately, they make the XMAXX which is one of a kind. I wish Arrma or some other company would come out with something similar. I know Cardinal RC makes something pretty close it's just not as durable. If Traxxas would Treat the little guys who own shops with some respect then they wouldn't be such a bad company. I have the MAXX too. Super fun truck. Boycott Bud Light, Target, Nike, and Addidas!
@@Utubeisazzho Arrma infraction is so much fun to skirt around parking lots and skate park bowls. My favorite street basher. Plus with some mods, it is so fast!
I noticed the Xmaxx,like other 4 wheel drive cars have trouble keeping the front wheels down. More weight should be added to the front to increase traction. Sacrifice back flip for traction.
It doesn’t have much to do with it being 4wd. Front wheels going up is mainly about power, grip and how your center diff or slipper is set up. Weight transfer plays a big role as well. A 4wd buggy, even on 6S will be hard to wheelie on stock form
@@DashzRight yeah, that's true. I prefer racing to bashing and stunts tho. And if I can't get to full power without my RC car trying to turn into an aircraft, I'd definitely not use that spec again

Still in love with mine after 2 years. It's completely stock and i rarely break anything.🤘🔥

Immediately on the Xmaxx you have to change the steering servo then change the ESC because you can’t program the stock ESC. You change the ESC so that you can turn up the bec voltage for the new steering servo that can handle higher voltage to operate faster for better steering and handling which will turn those big tires much better. Don’t forget that you’re gonna need an adapter for that new steering servo because the Traxxas fifth scale servo is proprietary.Then change the tires because they’re going to get a tear after a couple of runs. You’re gonna need a new body shell after the truck basically flips a couple of times about five runs to be exact why becuase there’s no reinforcement on the body shell around the shock tower posts that will break right through. So basically what I’m saying is you have to drop about 500 bucks into this truck after purchase just to make it steer really good and handle right also to replace very short life items like the body shell and tires. For me monster trucks in RC have always been very gimmicky. Yes they look cool but they don’t handle great they constantly roll because of the high center of gravity when cornering which quickly makes them not fun to drive with very bad handling. If you look at the market a large majority of fast RC vehicles sit lower to the ground because it makes for better performance and handling and you can still jump them which = more fun.
Absolutely true. Also its hard to find a good RTR car for bashing. You have to put lots of money in most if not all RTR cars to make them fun. Thats why i stick to competition kits from brands like Team Associated, Tekno RC, Xray or Yokomo for example.
best bang for your buck is redcat machete for $400 and have a huge truggy that will last plus have $600 to do all the upgrades you want instead of the xmaxx
@@LyroLife My losi dbxl-e replaced my Xmaxx and is so much more fun to drive, stronger and better made in my opinion then the Xmaxx. I also don’t like the Xmaxx build geometry I think it’s a pain to work on over a more traditional RC layout. I’m currently building my first nitro build a team associated RC8T4 truggy.
@@craigengelman1369 my new favorite that replaced my Xmaxx is the losi dbxl-e. It’s is way more fun to drive then the Xmaxx.
Every time I went to pull trigger on a xxmax I went with a Losi or arrma , the xxmax is a grab and go and perfect for guys who aren’t race oriented. One of the best rcs but you’re going pay extra just because. I think I read final product to build is around 250/ 300$ no other companies is that strict with their profit margins, they use the extra money to crush the competition 😂
I love mine, and I still want to do the castle belt drive upgrade one day.
Totally over engineered and unnecessary
i usually land 6-8 foot high jumps. havent broken anything yet, but i got spares for when it happens. this is my favorite truck
sorry but i don't believe , you maybe use it one battery, that's impossible if you got the car more than 4 days running everyday. let me know something in the next round you will believe me lol
@@nunosantos2015have been using the xmaxx for the last 2 years almost every weekend and had 0 issues other than stripped servo and 2 bearings needing replacements
@@DashzRight that can't be possible man, i had mine 1 years and half and every run something broke maybe i'm a bad pilot or you are the luckiest guy in the world lol but i don't in a single word you saying 😂
I bash it decently on the weekends for about a year, had to replace all 4 tires and a broken arm and knuckle. Other then that runs great
XMAXX is the king of bashing 🔥
It's crazy after getting the Xmaxx it really needs a good bit of space. Best rc car ever made in RC world. I wish I never bought the E-revo 2.0 worse rc car breaks to easy 10mins in running.
Pole:
Jesus Christ!!
XMAXX:
I think I ran into something?
Just ordered this truck its my first rc since I was a kid wanted to go big
The best rc truck
Have had mine for 3.5yrs and love it still even made the xo1 body work on it and recently got a scx6 body to fit...
Would like to see that
Should've just called this thing the "Monster Bash"
I've got rival mt10 and kraton 4s v2 but my dream is to own xmaxx,I've got terminal cancer so I'm hoping I can fulfil my dream before I go,not many things in life make me smile like the rush of taking out my infected devil's,takes my mind off my problems for a few minutes👍🔥
X-Maxx vs. XRT! 😮
Amazing video i love to watch them while i work on my Stampede+traxxas rally st keepn up rhe great work guys a lt Amain hobbies+Brett
My biggest complaint after a few years is that pin system that traxxas uses for the motor. I’ve had those pins push right though the plastic. It makes it nearly impossible to get the gear mesh correct, and leads to a lot of stripped pinion and spurs. And, it’s not easy to diagnose. And worse part is, replacing that rear bulkhead is basically a complete rebuild of the truck. Traxxas needs a new system to perfect the mesh that is more consistent and durable. The stripped gears is the worst part of my xmaxx. And I’m sure it’s that pin system they use. The engineering behind the system is awesome. But if you run the truck hard, you will have issues with gear mesh.
The big aspect carries over to price too. Over the top. The batteries are more then most people's RC budget.
I wouldn't,I woodn,I wooden and you shoooooding🤣🤣🤣
I think the X max is top-tier
That Thing Is HELLACIOUS!! Man I have a HYPER GO 1/16.......... I WANT IT 😀👊👍✌️🦅🇺🇸🦼
A precision scalpel it isn't. After 4.5 years with a Max 6 powered X-Maxx it's definitely my favourite RC. has the V3 parts (Bigger bearings in the front and rear hubs) It just doesn't care what I throw at it. I don't abuse it with reckless abandon but It's flown further and taken more hits than anything else I've bashed. Absolutely love it.
XRT is the next on my purchase list. I love the size and power of these trucks.
Decisamente gran bel video ,ottima recensione e come sempre viene voglia di acquistare un mostro simile!
Ma praticamente è fatto al 90% di plastica...credi che valga un prezzo finale di 1200 euro?
I bought 4 of these beasts because of Kevin Talbot smashing them at Skate Parks. I don't regret it. With a few simple upgrades, they are so freaking tough. One of mine is on 12s, which is 2 x 6s lipos in series. It is crazy fast and powerful! I used a lower Kv motor of course. It's actually getting more run time too.
4k damn
I got 1 cuz of him and Mercedes 6x6 Arrma infraction Arrma fireteam hoonitruck hoonicorn 😂
4k before upgrades lol i like the truck 🛻 hate the company , I have the regular max I pretty much wore everything out knowing I’d rebuild it for 200 with the body till they stop seized the whole salers
@@RcPlayer-tt2vw I'm not a fan of the company's ethics either. Unfortunately, they make the XMAXX which is one of a kind. I wish Arrma or some other company would come out with something similar. I know Cardinal RC makes something pretty close it's just not as durable. If Traxxas would Treat the little guys who own shops with some respect then they wouldn't be such a bad company. I have the MAXX too. Super fun truck. Boycott Bud Light, Target, Nike, and Addidas!
@@Utubeisazzho Arrma infraction is so much fun to skirt around parking lots and skate park bowls. My favorite street basher. Plus with some mods, it is so fast!
Whats the best differential fluid to run? Stock is 10k front, 30k in the rear. Ive heard you want thicker weight in the front for cornering.
Still love all of my Xmaxx's🔥🔥🔥
Love both but you're going to break that XRT
Since when the fruck was traxxas the best in anything anyway?
I wish axial would make a durable upgraded Yeti XL taking notes from the Xmaxx. We need competition, plus just imagine 😝
I still can't decide what wheels n tires to buy on mine. The foam keeps disintegrating in stock tires.
Just saw the video now my 7 year old son wants it ASAP
any lipos to recommend for it?
Have one myself, drops jaws anywhere I take it!
🤓👍
I noticed the Xmaxx,like other 4 wheel drive cars have trouble keeping the front wheels down. More weight should be added to the front to increase traction. Sacrifice back flip for traction.
It doesn’t have much to do with it being 4wd. Front wheels going up is mainly about power, grip and how your center diff or slipper is set up. Weight transfer plays a big role as well. A 4wd buggy, even on 6S will be hard to wheelie on stock form
No, it is fun as it is, most people love backflips and wheelies
@@fmc7209 I see. Most times all my 4wds flip/wheely anytime any of the front tires bounce off a rock and leave the ground. Maybe my ESC is bad.
@@DashzRight yeah, that's true. I prefer racing to bashing and stunts tho. And if I can't get to full power without my RC car trying to turn into an aircraft, I'd definitely not use that spec again
If you swapped out the 20 million center diff fluid for 1 million, that would stop it.

Great review! Thank you
Is this the “Nature is Neat” guys little brother?
