hey, quick tip. for the skid plate screws, instead of drilling them out, you can get a dremel or metal saw and cut a slit in the top of each screw and use a flathead screwdriver to twist them right out! i do this all the time and it is super helpful.
Had my Maxx2 for about 3 weeks now. My only two complaints so far are… 1. The bed of the truck rests on top of the plastic rear bumper/wheely bar tabs. On big impacts the bed part of the body compresses down onto the rear bumper (2 tiny contact points) and that pressure is enough to cause the body to start cracking. You’ll notice it almost immediately when you start throwing air. I can tell Thunder RC had the same problem, notice how much worse the back end is chewed up than the front. 2. PLASTIC FANS 👎🏻 If you’re just a speed basher don’t worry the fans are fine. If you like YUGE air with impact, plan an extra $30ish to upgrade both your motor and ESC fans to aluminum. The lack of flex in the blades will save you repair time and money. Other than that, it’s a TANK. It’ll just eat whatever you give it 😂
I'd say considering the height and speed that thing has dropped from the damage is pretty minimal. Just got my maxx last week. I forgot how much fun this hobby is.
Yo Traxxas send this guy some free parts for peet’s sake. Geez he essentially does free commercials that are seen by some many that love the hobby. And he’s a fellow Texan!!
I had to replace the top and the bottom bulkhead on mine this past weekend. I had a couple BIG cracks, and the knuckle that holds the right side bell crank snapped off. I’m so glad I took the time to switch those parts out this weekend. It runs great again. If I could just find a good set of tires for mostly on road/asphalt, I’d be happy. I’ve blown 2 completely different tires and I’ve only had it for 2 weeks. A sledgehammer tire and a stock Maxx tire. VERY frustrating. Thanks for the content brother!
I’ve been running a Arrma Big Rock and I love that thing. But, something breaks almost every time I run it. I can’t wait to get this Maxx. I love working on these cars, but it’s going to be nice to have a tougher truck.
Most of the time its the drivers error. I have typhon blx v3(same chassis and components) and i have no issues with IT at all and i Bash IT hard. What breaks on Ur maybe i can help u out bro
Had my maxx for 1 day and broke the axle already. Have steels on the way. Lol. Glad to see these things are basically bulletproof other than the hubs and axles.
I just got mine a few days ago. After running nitro cars for a while when I was a kid I can’t believe how fast this thing is. I busted the universal on the axle on the third day playing with it 5 minutes into running 4S for the first time. I was disappointed at first but after I took it apart I realized a piece of gravel lodged itself between the fin on the wheel and the hub. After hitting the throttle the motor must’ve had enough torque to blow the pin out of the universal so I can’t complain. Popped a new axle in and gave it hell when I got home I bet it’ll be good to go for a while now.
Hi Rocky, He took the Maxx V2 dearly, he's a hell of a healer! You have entertained us with all these stunts, well done brother. I have the V1, I broke the same things by sending a lot less lol Super happy for you that you can keep your XMAXX with all the upgrades you've done on it! We never get tired of seeing the king on the spots denigrate everything, enjoy it, we want to see him again soon brother! peace ;)
Great video, Rocky. The Maxx took a beating, but kept going like a Timex. Time for some upgrades and love with attention. She'll be back! Keep ripping and running, brother. Lol
KILLER Bash and full detailed month of abuse Breakdown Brother 😜!!!! You have infact beat the living hell out of the Maxx V2 😱🤣🤣. Mega sends, 6s abuse, wicked hits and concrete Landers 👀. That rig has done fantastic considering what she's endured. Glad you changed your mind about Bertha too. She has her place in the stable and can only do better with the M2C and other hop ups 💪. I understand about the expense side of things too though. Our hobby isn't cheap. 🍻 🚀🚀😎💪👊👊
Thank you so much my brotha! I truly am grateful to have you as a friend and to be a part of the team! Like family to me man! Yes this Maxx has been bashed to a pulp and she took it with stride! 😱🤣🤣 What a tank! I just watched your skatepark session session the Maxx! It was killer my dude!!!💯💯⚡💯🚀🚀💯🚀💯🚀💯🚀💯🚀💯🚀💯🚀💯🚀💯🚀💯🚀🚀💯
Ya weather pretty bad here in Nebraska. 20° to like negative °s. Took out my outcast 8s last weekend and got it muddy asf lol. This weekend will be cleaning and maintenance lol.
Great video! Just got my first Maxx. I wont be bashing mine as hard but good info on what to look for. I'm in Carrollton, Tx. I remember all of that rain last year. LOL
Thunder!!!! Lol dude you show the facts, and tell what went bad, very few out there do it. Thanks, just may buy a Maxx, to put next to it's big brother. Weight is key too surviving in any rc dont waste your money on bs upgrades. Pretty doesn't quite make it better
Northern living guys here..... Those first few weather sentiments we're felt lol. Had a talion exb since Xmas day and just had it had for the 5th pack today🙄
Ya beat me to it! I had bulkheads issues. I was hoping it was the cold weather, I guess not. Great review! Im doing a sub below 0 snow and ice review after a million miles. I’ll be doing the same video pretty much, just showing how it held up in the cold. Awesome video Thunder!!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️👊👍💯🔥
I'm glad I came across your video! My 8y/o son absolutely puts his rc's through hell and they just can't handle him. The rustler, granite etc. My maxx v2 is on the way and I'm really going it can take the beating like yours had. Sub'd (great video, good editing, awesome content and solid music)
Thank you so much brotha! Yeah man I think the Traxxas Maxx V2 is a good truck for him 👍⚡. The thing is tough as nails man! I appreciate your support! More awesome vids to come 💯⚡
Yeah it's hard to beat a Maxx or Xmaxx, some people say but they are all plastic, that's right that's why they are super durable....glad to see you keeping the XMAXX...
@@willeymunda no it doesn't the sledge is definitely tough, but we'll see in the long term, it's still early and it's not as tough as the max....but I will get one I'm a Traxxas fan, my hobby shop has the sledge but not parts yet, so I don't buy cars till the parts are available also...that way if I break it I'm not mad when I can't get the parts...as long as I can get parts I don't care if it breaks...cause they all break sooner or later...
@@andyb9994 I am in the market to buy a new car, I've ordered an Arrma Infraction which will take a week or so but im not sure whether I will keep it as I am having second thoughts and whether to get an Xmaxx a Maxx 2.0 (widemaxx) or Sledge
Smart move not selling the XMaxx you have put a lot of money into it. I’m the same way once I buy something I can’t sell it because I’m like a caveman “all mine” Funny you mentioned bad weather we had a 12 hour blizzard yesterday I’m snowed in now
Dang bro, Im sorry to hear that you are snowed in. Man I hope it warms up for you soon! Yeah man I just could not let that beast go ahah. More vids to come soon!🔥🤩⚡️
Great video bro. Really enjoyEd the tear down of the Maxx V2. Dunno what Traxxas are up to but the V2 Maxx is not available in NZ as of yet. Pity I think Traxxas are missing the boat a bit. The Arrma Fireteam will be in New Zealand LHS in 3 days. I even emailed Traxxas NZ a month ago but no reply. Guess my next rig will be another Arrma 🤔
To be fair I've had to order my V2 from Germany, even tho us in UK was first who could buy the V2 (its out of stock with no ETA at moment), my first Maxx and traxxas tho so kinda exciting
@@Zillawill That's cool. I could possibly get one from Australia but I think I'll save up a bit more for an Arrma Fireteam. The price difference will be negligible.
Thanks so much my brotha! Yeah man I don't know why Traxxas has dropped the ball on releases in other countries, but for whatever the reason the Arrma Fireteam looks epic too! 🤩⚡️🔥🔥⚡️
So glad I got this truck. Just got the metal hubs, the ones that work with stock everything. Will upgrade to the hot racing eventually. And I found this rubber/metal body trim that goes around the whole edge of the body off Amazon. Supposed to prevent cracks, we'll see. Took 2 of them about. Made the body a little heavier but will be worth It I think. And I can take it off like nothing if I don't like it. Looks like you have the same 17mm hex hub nut things in the rear that I got for all around? Definitely going to upgrade from and rear with the hot racing hubs and then hot racing hex. Thanks for the badass videos! Learned alot. If I ever want to go to 6s...do I just need a 6s esc and then I'm good to go?
I actually cracked the piece under the from bulkhead that holds the hinge pins in one of the times I snapped a front bulkhead pretty good lol 🤷🏻♂️ just popped her back in with some gorilla glue but I was surprised nonetheless... I broke her good that day I guess 😁
I understand the decision to keep the Xmaxx. It would be like abandoning your beloved pet on the freeway. You don't send your first true love to the moon 🤪
Wowzer, I loved the aerials. What are your thoughts on this Maxx V2 to the Hoss on comparable activities, stunts, etc.? Does the WIDEMaxx come equipped with a cooling fan? What were you using for your air blowing to clean out the internals? A compressed air tool or an air compressor? Thanks for the video and your time. Stay safe!
Fantastic review as always and good choice on keeping the basher king Xmaxx there’s simply no comparison to a Xmaxx being a true monster truck basher I love my maxx 2.0 can I ask what’s the best overall gearing 54/20? Also best shock oil to help from chassis slapping so hard?
Same old bulkheads problem, why traxxas don't redesign the bulkheads on the v2, since this problem occurred in the v1 already (if you send it high), also i think they all one more issue on the v2, the center driveshaft is longer and now it might bent easyer, my v1 never have the center driveshaft bent since i own it for two years.
Hey Man! Great videos! I’m getting back in to hobby of RC, just ordered a Maxx! I’m in Portland! Not far from you! On the upgrades you talked about the front hubs from hot racing; what exactly do I have to order to keep that pin from coming out on stock hubs?
@TwoWheelTime Here is the gpm upgrade on eBay my bro 👍www.ebay.com/itm/364490867343?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Ruw6B9AbRRm&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=fPKb8ugzThm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
That is one tough truck to take every thing you've put it through and only broke the two bulkheads!!! (And a bunch of the plastic driveshafts.) Thunder durability testing!!! 💯💯 Great video. Have you had to replace any bearings yet?? 👏🔥💯👍
Great vids. Question: You were a bit unclear in your past video as to which oil weight you used when you changed the shock oil. Can you please let us know? Was it 50wt with 70wt, 80wt?? I am new to RC and just ordered a V2 and want to change the shock oil. Thanks
Sorry bro, nothing is wrong with the esc, but if you want to run 6s or bigger tires then you will need to upgrade the esc. The stock one will cut out in those situations. ⚡️
is it normal if it just came out of the box but there is a loud noise on the back diff? I just bought a maxx v2 but it makes a loud noise in the rear diff area. why? can you explain to me 🙏🏼
hey, quick tip. for the skid plate screws, instead of drilling them out, you can get a dremel or metal saw and cut a slit in the top of each screw and use a flathead screwdriver to twist them right out! i do this all the time and it is super helpful.

Other than that, it’s a TANK. It’ll just eat whatever you give it 😂
Is there a fix for the body?
The metal fans fit with no modification ?
I have been into high end RC for around a year now and I am still blown away by how much abuse these things can take.
Yes it is amazing to see what these rigs can take.
I'd say considering the height and speed that thing has dropped from the damage is pretty minimal. Just got my maxx last week. I forgot how much fun this hobby is.
Yes the Maxx is a beast basher!🔥🏆⚡️🥇
Yo Traxxas send this guy some free parts for peet’s sake. Geez he essentially does free commercials that are seen by some many that love the hobby.

Since owning my maxx v2 my arrma big rock v3 never gets out as I'm sick of the price of inferior parts that seem to break with out bashing it,

So glad I got this truck. Just got the metal hubs, the ones that work with stock everything. Will upgrade to the hot racing eventually. And I found this rubber/metal body trim that goes around the whole edge of the body off Amazon. Supposed to prevent cracks, we'll see. Took 2 of them about.

-15 ? Was quite a few weeks up here in Saskatchewan Canada that was -50C ha ha

That is one tough truck to take every thing you've put it through and only broke the two bulkheads!!! (And a bunch of the plastic driveshafts.) Thunder durability testing!!! 💯💯 Great video. Have you had to replace any bearings yet?? 👏🔥💯👍
Thank you so much! Honestly I haven't replaced one bearing yet, Traxxxas Tough Baby!⚡️
Awesome 👍
the machine is really strong the cells unfortunately crack with the jumps already the V1
Thanks my dude! Heck yeah my man, this truck is a beast! ⚡️🤩
cool:) Go on! compare tekno mt410 and maxx. which is better?
Thanks bro! I have already done one of those vids. Round 2 is coming soon! ⚡️🤩
You made me want one!!
What esc went in?
I had the Hobbywing max 6 in there 💪🔥⚡️🏆🏆🏆⚡️
Good video, thank you
Great vids. Question: You were a bit unclear in your past video as to which oil weight you used when you changed the shock oil. Can you please let us know? Was it 50wt with 70wt, 80wt?? I am new to RC and just ordered a V2 and want to change the shock oil. Thanks
Half 50 half 80 in my memories 😁
Hey bro, sorry for the late response. So I run 90w in rear and 80w in front. It works really good! Thanks so much 🤩⚡️
You recommend upgrading the esc, but you don’t say why. What’s wrong with the stock esc?
Sorry bro, nothing is wrong with the esc, but if you want to run 6s or bigger tires then you will need to upgrade the esc. The stock one will cut out in those situations. ⚡️
@@thunderrc Got it, thanks!
Just picked up my Maxx v2. Looks like Galveston beach?
Awesome man! Corpus Christi ⚡👍
Hey thunder did u say the xmaxx servo fits the maxx
Yes it does and it works great! ⚡️🤩
Hi, amazing Vid! For acrobatic, flips etc. V1 or V2?
Do you run 1 mill in rear 500k in front and 20mill in center in you k8s exb? Thanks bro
Honestly I have only run stock oils in my 8s rigs. I really don't know what oils those rigs come with. 😂🤩🤩
I know it's not apples to apples but I'm trying to decide if I want to get a Maxx V2, Arrma Talion EXB, or Arrma Mojave.
Yes all three trucks are magic!
Did you change shock oil to avoid chasis slap?
is it normal if it just came out of the box but there is a loud noise on the back diff? I just bought a maxx v2 but it makes a loud noise in the rear diff area. why? can you explain to me 🙏🏼
Hmmm it should not be doing that.🤔🤔
Sick 🔥
would u choose this over the arrma talion?
Arrma Talion is way better for sure👍🔥
Where in Texas are you ??? I'm in Houston
I am in Rockport 🏆👍
Video's good but you gotta do smth about that focus
Where at in TX are you?
Is the Maxx V2 as durable as the new Sledge?
Yes it is more durable ⚡️👍
@@thunderrc so you would say the Max v2 widemaxx is more durable than the sledge?
