Honestly, this is the review of the truck I've been waiting for. Every review I've seen kind of shows it rolling all the time and air control lacking. I'm kind of surprised to see the tire come unglued where they're belted. Sure, you can glue them back, but you could also have sand and junk in them at that point.
I think all the videos show that cos maybe, just maybe, its true? It doesn't handle well, deffo worse than anything similar on the market. Should be better for the price it is.
I have to say that I’ve had a lot of RCs and different manufacturers and the slash is my favorite so in saying that I hear the price point is high but if you love a slash you don’t care I’m getting one even if I have to sell a few cars!
I’ll be going with wide maxx cutting the fenders an going with monster truck tires. Also seen a video the maxx bulk heads are direct fit an dude put the maxx body on
Well , after several videos , your the only one that can keep it on it's wheels , I'll be doing the wide kit on it and sway bars sledgehammers , and heavier springs up front , but great video ! Thanx !
It should of came with traxxas part 10234 on the front as well to level the truck out.. which are those shock risers that are on the rear.. that helps keep the front from digging in and slapping chassis.
I can see the first Mod will be steel axels with 17mm hexes. You are going to do the radio also but I probably won't. What else do you see in the future other than XT90 plugs? Shock oil and springs? I know I'll have to play around with tires because I always do but that doesn't seem like much to change. Just drive it like I stole it and have MAXX FUN! Thanks for the squalling tires. You made up my mind.
you got it, springs, oil hopefully we see way more tire options now and yes absolutely the steel axles, but first I want to see these break, with these tires I doubt we will break them much.
A lot of very very good drivers complain about this thing. It drives like garbage. But of course Max Versappen would still put on a show in a Prius if that's what you're trying to say
@@ExocagedRCnot that your bias for Traxxas but you do have a unfair advantage with a home track. You could probably make the v1 maxx look good. I have one on hold for me, but when I see people doing barrel rolls in a park on a easy slow turn, ehhh I don’t know. Looks freaking sick though
You are thee ONLY review that I’ve watched where the truck did ok. Every single review that thing handled like crap and the chassis filled up with debris and dirt real bad…
I always love how you start giggling like a little kid hahahaha. We definitely all feel this way when ripping rc trucks hahaha. And im glad to finally see a video that isnt crying about handling and price. So many big boohooers on youtube lol me personally i love the truck
I’ve only seen them break on videos when folks want to be dumb and take to a skate park! Everything breaks at a skate park I haven’t seen them break in dirt yet!
Awesome vid Exo! Exoplex is looking amazing. This rc has too much traxxas proprietary stuff. The servo with the wierd case is too much for me. Wierd battery plugs and sizing, wierd hexes. Wierd wheelbase with no aftermarket bodies, clipless is cool but again it's a wierd traxxas system.
Nice intro for this beast. Way out of my monitory grasp tho. I do have a question on the suspension. That rig slams down hard especially on the rear. I’m guessing you pretty much just took it out of the box. Can that bottoming be adjusted out, or are heavy rigs like that prone to slamming the ground? I don’t own any 6s rigs so that’s why the question. Thx
yeah I noticed it too but you have to figure on the big jump it was 20+ft up so yeah everything bottoms out hard on that. But yeah straight out of the box. As time goes on we will see all kinds of ways to tune it for everything.
I've never seen a more controversial RC. A lot of (credible) guys say it's terrible in comparison to it's competitors. But there's also a small handful of (credible) guys that say it's not that bad. Idk what to think and I don't wanna spend $700 to find out lmao
The guys that don't sht on it are the ones that do not want beef with traxxas 😆 Think it comes down to price, if it was 500$ truck people would overlook that
@ExocagedRC yeah no doubt probably going down in history as one of the toughest RCs ever made but handling wise it gets destroyed by it's competitors. No air control, rolls over way easier, doesn't fly well, doesn't stick most landings.. but it is faster OOTB and tougher than it's competitors, so I guess it should even out. Not for $700 though
Chill!! You talk like you own a actual decent sct like a tekno! When I reality you have a crappy entry level Arrma! A company know for its poor built quilty bendy chassis, diff issue! Esc issues, low grade fasteners, pivot ball issue they do zero R+D, they lie about scale! Over hype everything! Dont just bash bend!! Should be their moto the 4s Mojave has it's own issues! And I'm no traxxas fanboy! And do own a infraction which is also built like dog sh#t! The zd racing ex07 is built miles better and who are zd racing? God knows but still built better than arrma! And that's just a hard fact
Hey i got a question the Losi rock rey v2 is $300 off. So $599 is it worth it. I believe i heard u say upgrade vitavon steering housing and its a great buggy do u agree?
Thanks for the response I just seen it was 300 off for March and I've already got most arrmas and traxxas so was looking for something diffrent either the rock rey v2 or Mayne corrally that new obersized buggy or kagama
I do like the tires for screeching in the streets , it can sound high speed chase with good driving and unlike Mojave tires I bet these will last on the concrete
Servo seems ok so far. Stock esc has that safety thing where it must be totally stopped before taking off in the opposite direction but it seems to be plenty strong out of the box.
Don’t know what you did, truck is way overpriced least traxxas could do is have a metal gear servo for 700 bucks. People fall for Traxxas overpriced rigs
Why is it 2 hundred more than the max just for the 6s system in it if same price as sledge why no metal drive shafts. That's the first thing that broke on my max after only 10 minutes of driving first time the u joints break super easy and don't understand why after buying the metal ones from traxxas you end up spending over 100 bucks more for it than the sledge witch is an 8 scale think traxxas is way over charging for the thing. This is coming from a long time traxxas customer who has spent a lot on traxxas over last 6 years
Meh, Mojave 6s is a much more vicious rc than this. This video from AMain hobbies a year ago: ua-cam.com/video/-W20qhgUJ9s/v-deo.html Makes the Maxx Slash look like a toy grade rc for $60 less and it's been out for years. I'm not a Traxxas hater per se but this doesn't really compete with the Arrma, sorry not sorry

Finally, a review of a Short Course Truck doing some short course action instead of speed runs or to the moon bashing. Thanks.
I’ve got more! LoL.
smooth concrete.... tire screeches... beautiful.
The tire squeals are awesome!!! That thing should run 17s on a prepared track with the driver mod turned on.
The screeching tires was epic! 🤣🤩
the way you’re laughing and smiling it’s totally worth it
I thought I was hearing things!! I had to run the video back a few times just to make sure!!! Ha-ha! Awesome!!!!!
Looks Awesome!! cant wait to buy it online!!! thanks for posting!!!
This truck is revealing who the truthfull content creators are.
Its great to see.
Tomorrow is it vs the Mojave, the outcome may not be what you think lol
@@ExocagedRC i will check it out 👍
Honestly, this is the review of the truck I've been waiting for. Every review I've seen kind of shows it rolling all the time and air control lacking. I'm kind of surprised to see the tire come unglued where they're belted. Sure, you can glue them back, but you could also have sand and junk in them at that point.
I think all the videos show that cos maybe, just maybe, its true? It doesn't handle well, deffo worse than anything similar on the market. Should be better for the price it is.
Some of the handling may be from the mild tires. As far as rolling the Mojave is worse.
I have to say that I’ve had a lot of RCs and different manufacturers and the slash is my favorite so in saying that I hear the price point is high but if you love a slash you don’t care I’m getting one even if I have to sell a few cars!
Man it’s got Maxx driveline and it’s rough as nails. So far.
Yea my 2wd slash is my baby it’s brushless but that thing is a beast and my overall favorite is my XMax but my slash is a definite number 2
I’ll be going with wide maxx cutting the fenders an going with monster truck tires.
Also seen a video the maxx bulk heads are direct fit an dude put the maxx body on
Yeah. All that Maxx stuff will go right on
Just get a Maxx bro 😂😂😂
Well , after several videos , your the only one that can keep it on it's wheels , I'll be doing the wide kit on it and sway bars sledgehammers , and heavier springs up front , but great video ! Thanx !
RazorRC has a video of it after he set it up and he does a good job of bashing it.
@@MagnifiedGianthe had the best video so far and I saw another smashing a short course in it as well but his comments are off
It should of came with traxxas part 10234 on the front as well to level the truck out.. which are those shock risers that are on the rear.. that helps keep the front from digging in and slapping chassis.
The concrete pads going to add so much more racing an driftlike game abilities!
That thing is sick nice balance race and bash!
Your going to tear the top off that fresh concrete with those donuts and power slides. Another great video Joe, thanks!
I can see the first Mod will be steel axels with 17mm hexes.
You are going to do the radio also but I probably won't.
What else do you see in the future other than XT90 plugs? Shock oil and springs?

Yeah, that makes sense.
Traxxas dropped the ball on this 1
How?
Yeah. How?
Handles like crap.
Cant jump well.
Too expensive.
Frankenstien of a platform.
Some examples.
@@McRcFly
So, you drove one?
After watching all the reviews and all the crap talk, it seems it runs well with a decent driver mod.
First run on sand that I've seen. The rear was still bucking and bouncing tho.
A lot of very very good drivers complain about this thing. It drives like garbage. But of course Max Versappen would still put on a show in a Prius if that's what you're trying to say
I don’t see why everyone complains about everything. It’s almost like they complain to try to get attention. I legit like this truck.
@@ExocagedRC Plus Traxxas evokes a lot of negative emotions for some people.
@@ExocagedRCnot that your bias for Traxxas but you do have a unfair advantage with a home track. You could probably make the v1 maxx look good. I have one on hold for me, but when I see people doing barrel rolls in a park on a easy slow turn, ehhh I don’t know. Looks freaking sick though
👍😁😎✌️that is an awesome truck!
😂😂😂😂 the screeching and joes kid like laughter... priceless. I always reglue factory tires, they never have enough.
😀
This is certainly a great looking Traxxas. Makes me really want one.
You seem to be a intelligent man. Cut the schedule 40 in half, heat it and mold it to the shape you want. No joints necessary.
Well I could build a mandrel for a smooth radius and do that, I'd have to get a bigger torch though. I like the idea for sure!
Lol.. It was making con trails on the big ramp 😂
First time I heard it make tire noises IRL I just had to laugh. Loved the sound. Great rig, great video. Thank you sir!
Best video Ive seen on the maxx slash! I get mine tomorrow and I'm super stoked.
Looks pretty sweet might have to try this one out myself great review!!
Those tires remind me of the old school super swamper thornbirds
You are thee ONLY review that I’ve watched where the truck did ok. Every single review that thing handled like crap and the chassis filled up with debris and dirt real bad…
Every SCT we run here fills with dirty and debris, this is where he aftermarket steps in with those covers and stuff.
@@ExocagedRC I know… after watching you drive the hell out of it with no real issues makes me wonder. 💭 or you might just be that good one handed😳👍
That's a beautiful slab of concrete!
Awesome video can't wait to get mine that Maxx Slash is epic and the one thing is it's has period because it has Maxx d n a let's go
I like the look of that body ,swap the red cat vigilante body for the slash body
I always love how you start giggling like a little kid hahahaha. We definitely all feel this way when ripping rc trucks hahaha. And im glad to finally see a video that isnt crying about handling and price. So many big boohooers on youtube lol me personally i love the truck
👍👍🔥
Supposedly from other reviews, the plastic drive shafts are supposed to have metal shafts inside of them.
Doesn't help from what I've seen. Already quite a bunch of broken axles on forums and groups. Seems to be a half assed attempt from Traxxas, as usual
I’ve only seen them break on videos when folks want to be dumb and take to a skate park! Everything breaks at a skate park I haven’t seen them break in dirt yet!
on what the Maxx? I twisted those off pretty quick.
@@K5_RC You are on a mission! LOL
@@MagnifiedGiant tired of junk being overhyped. I'm just glad I didn't waste $700 like I was going to
Sound of the tyres is dope !!!
🤷♂️😁
my buddy had some amazon special bfg 1.9 cralwer tires that would bark on all the rocks😂😂

Now that is one cool vehicle 😎
That is my next toy. Next month lol
I got one too
Sooooo glad to see this!!!!!!!
This Guy has a sensitive Sense of humor 😂😂 Nice Ride 👊👊
LoL
@@ExocagedRC I enjoy your content Man and I'm not an electric Guy Nitro 💯 percent. it's funny to see you get all excited 😆 😂 🤣
I can't wait to get one for myself
Nice intro for this beast. Way out of my monitory grasp tho.
I do have a question on the suspension.
That rig slams down hard especially on the rear. I’m guessing you pretty much just took it out of the box. Can that
bottoming be adjusted out, or are heavy rigs like that prone to slamming the ground?
I don’t own any 6s rigs so that’s why the question.
Thx
yeah I noticed it too but you have to figure on the big jump it was 20+ft up so yeah everything bottoms out hard on that. But yeah straight out of the box. As time goes on we will see all kinds of ways to tune it for everything.
Now you need a regular slash lol
So at the same price point, which would you prefer as a basher? The sledge or the maxx slash
Probably the sledge as it would be more fun bashing around
put this up against a normal slash 4x4 around the track
Yeah, that's what I want to see! Head-to-head Slashes! Get some comparable tires so it's fair.
Normal🫨
I have the sand paddle video to put up and I will put it against the Mojave soon
Been waiting for this review!
Great video

The truck is as tough as the sledge but adds another option in the “Mojave” class as we call it. The truck runs well. Simple as that
@@Mckhus yeah I agree. Traxxas seems to pick and choose the guys that won't complain no matter how rough it is lol
@ExocagedRC yeah no doubt probably going down in history as one of the toughest RCs ever made but handling wise it gets destroyed by it's competitors.

Thanks!
Thank you!
Told SBG we need a Monster Maxx Slash for Halloween now.😅
Nice man. Grea5 video😊
Myself 6:51 and my friend bought our maxx slash yesterday and both our gyros aren't being activated so may I ask how do you set the TSM (gyro)
Turn the knob. The aux one closes to the steering wheel. That turns it up or down
😃💪
Probably a good idea to remove the wheelie bar for off-road use
Nah it’s fine on there and it makes for a GREAT carrying handle!
@@ExocagedRCstill might be worth a test
👍💯
Handles like a brick
Would the wheel combo fit on the udr
I know the UDR tires fit this with the adapter yeah I think so
They probably want you to buy their tires, I don't understand it myself. Anyway to gouge the customer.
The aftermarket will take care of any issues
I already have a mojave 6s and a UDR but still want one of these
I would wait for a v2 model to come out.
Your mojave 6s would destroy this.
@@McRcFly it looks fast and durable enough
Did you adjust any of the shocks before running it or is this run straight out of the box?
Straight out of the box. I did turn the front adjusters down to raise the front a bit.
@@ExocagedRC I did notice in the video that the adjuster on the front shock was screwed down a bit but not very much. Thanks for your reply!
Hey i got a question the Losi rock rey v2 is $300 off. So $599 is it worth it. I believe i heard u say upgrade vitavon steering housing and its a great buggy do u agree?
It’s a different style of driving. More of a “scale” driving. For me it really needed the Vitavon steering stuff so it would handle well
Thanks for the response I just seen it was 300 off for March and I've already got most arrmas and traxxas so was looking for something diffrent either the rock rey v2 or Mayne corrally that new obersized buggy or kagama
Wait, did you say paddle tires???? 😏 Oh, I guess that was me.
I did
I like the truck. But at over $900 plus tax Canadian. I’ll buy an arrma whatever over it
man $900 canadian, due to the exchange rate you can't even hop the border and save money can you?
@@ExocagedRC yeah it’s brutal. Where I live border is 9hrs away. It wouldn’t be worth it

Huh? Nobody sent me this I bought it.
Good gods no. Losi Baja 1/6 is insanely better.
Something is wrong with the audio only comes out the left speaker
Idk buddy I have a new mic on the way.
Ehhhh. Don’t hate it. But I don’t love it either.
Wayyy overpriced and awful suspension.
😂 always that one guy. Sell yours.
Mojave 6s a lot better value, better suspension and biger size... And waiting for new version.
Tune the suspension.
Just say youre broke and dont know how to tune a hobby grade rc 😢
Than don't buy one lol who twisted you arm and said call me daddy lol.
Overpriced junk for such crappy suspension
Typical traxxas way overpriced, still comes with that plastic servo and junk esc lol.
