I broke this exact same part on my maximus doing a failed back flip... I added the zombie spoiler/mount to it and it gives it that extra support for the back shock tower brace. It has been bullet proof ever since! Can't wait to see it fixed and brought back!
Dude. Youve inspired me(a total newbie in taking things apart) to fully rebuild my brushed 1/16 e revo after nine years of abuse! We'll see how bad the bearings are(some have quite a lot of slop already)
I have the arrma kraton 6's BLX insidious and I got the 1/8th scale team corally six s dementor ..and I just ordered two of these dhk max 1/8th .. did I buy smart I paid 165 and change for two without batteries ?
Yea and the only problem I had with the bison was if your planning on hitting big jumps my chassis cracked in the rear where the rear end bolts to the chassis.and that's the only problem I've ran in to
I think Pat hates Arrma's. Lol Kev you neeeeed to get a 3s BLX series Arrma, they are easy to work on, fast, and have a very durable chassis, suspension, and from what I know the diffs are good if you are on 3s.
My DHK Maximus broke in the same spot and I was in dirt, not the skate park. It seems to break every time I use it. Locktite wheel lugnuts and every screw you can...the screws are coarse threaded and come out fast. Fun truck, JLB Cheetah 120a is way more durable.😁
Can't really fault it for snapping a plastic shock tower mount on the diff case from landing 30ft on it's head. Tough Truck! Just not sure if I want the DHK Zombie or Maximus. I like it uses normal style bearing carriers in the rear end, instead of the JLB Cheetah pivot balls.
I knew that's exactly where the truck would break, like I said in my first post your going to have to just break down and buy the upgraded aluminum rear diff housing, then add another rear shock tower to it by trimming the bottom half off and "sandwiching" those 2 together then my truck has become nearly bullet proof ;-)
The rear shock tower mounting point seems to be the weakest link on this truck. DHK makes an aluminum gear box upgrade which is a bit pricey but should fix the issue.
To be honest you did hit a tree branch mid air and it dropped straight down on the top of the shock tower. It was a very fast and high drop so most RC Cars would be damaged from that drop. I have had damage to my Kratton from a drop straight like that. I think I might get one if it is cheap as you say. It looks really good.
At the end you say it's not as tough as this one or this one, which ones are those? What's the best value rugged RC Car? (under 1000$, well under if possible)
Nothing is indestructable, especially in the talented hands of Kevin Talbot! However, the DHK Maximus is an excellent and sturdy machine for a fair price.
Dude. If you want Tough bashing toys then the TEAM ASSOCIATED RC8.2, Electric or Nitro Buggy or truggy Kit version is best for Durability and racing, Also the Mugen is a tough Buggy. But get the kit versions that you have to build and add a few extra metal/Alluminum Upgrades. Best RCs in my Opinion.
Kevin, do you have a 15 Kg servo that can actually fit the chassis of this rc ? Cause with the current servo it wobbles quite a lot for it's speed and size
@@automoto95 because it's Nikko toy grade and doesn't move quickly enough to damage itself? Nice try, but I'm pretty sure we're talking about actual bashers here with parts support and quality components.
Is there any reason why mine is so slow? I just got this truck and it won't go faster than max throttle trim.. I've calibrated the ESC but it's still so slow. Got the 4S battery setup with batteries fully charged. Don't know where I'm going wrong..
Your take on the xmaxx taking a beating? I am having a hard time on deciding. My Outcast has been the most strongest RC I have so far. I bash my outcast hard too. And it takes it. Not saying I was a fan for it is kinda ugly. But it grows on you. And starts to look actually sweet.
I have the DHK Zombie (almost identical to the Maximus) and while it's a decently tough basher the front and rear outdrives are badly worn after just a few runs on 4s. I've replaced them once, 3 week wait from China and now they need replacing again. I think it's time to say bye bye Zombie.
Looks good! But I may just spend the money converting my old 3.3 T Maxx to 4s! I’ve been out of the hobby for a while so always had nitro. Brushless is so much better! But I do love my T maxx so maybe bring her into the modern world!
Hey Kev, chasing your videos ^^ - would you rather recommend a DHK Maximus, Zombie oder ZD Pirates 3/Eachine EAT02 if available at nearly the same price for a kind of beginner in that scale? Also regarding the battery/upgradeable/parts situation as well as "normal" durability, not your bashing from hell 😅 thx in advance and keep up your aweseome videos! 😬🤘

I had thought these DHK rigs were tough but I guess not KT TUFF!
Pat winding up the arrma fanboys 😂
innit!! Love it... Hella funny... they'll all break when you do silly stuff... Build, drive, break, rebuild.... repeat
They were both Fanboys in the beginning
Dude. Youve inspired me(a total newbie in taking things apart) to fully rebuild my brushed 1/16 e revo after nine years of abuse! We'll see how bad the bearings are(some have quite a lot of slop already)
Destroy the a959 till everything is broken kev and add stupidly fast motor to it it would be cool
Guaranteed the first thing to go is going to be the death mine blue just from regular driving
@@maximumrpm1868 the diff? Yeah they are trash. Good thing they make a stupid amount of upgrades for it
@@Nograc_ I figured that out I was making a video drifting on the the Ghost came out and it became front wheel drive truck
The one problem with my Dhk Maximus is the shock towers and the drive shafts always gives first
The arrma chassis would have been bent like a pretzel after the skate park, I'd say this held up quite well
Same I thought....
I have the arrma kraton 6's BLX insidious and I got the 1/8th scale team corally six s dementor ..and I just ordered two of these dhk max 1/8th .. did I buy smart I paid 165 and change for two without batteries ?

"thats whot she say'd"
🤣
All the stock aluminum parts on that car are awesome! Traxxas needs to step up their game.
What do you think?
Jlb cheetah or dhk maximus or vkar bison is the best?
Please help!!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏
Jlb but then again if you get the bison you can get parts easy because it's pretty much a helion
Jlb cheetah broke every time I ran it.I ended up putting the bison hubs and arms on it
What Clayton said... JLB Cheetah 120Amp is the fastest but will break every time (I have one)... Bison and Maximus take more abuse for sure...
@@claytondelade1767 how much adaptation did you need to do to use the hubs and arms? Also changed the shafts? How is it holding?
Yea and the only problem I had with the bison was if your planning on hitting big jumps my chassis cracked in the rear where the rear end bolts to the chassis.and that's the only problem I've ran in to

what do you think about putting some thin wire around the tires to stop them ballooning? i saw it in another youtube wondered if it had any benefits?
What kind of extra batteries should I buy for this
That Maximus looks badass ,KEV THE DESTROYER "WHAT HAPPENED"!!!

kev, xmaxx Vs kraton what's best in your opinion? 👍
Will you do another Video with the Vkar Bison? I really enjoyed these!!

Hey Kev, your editing and filming skills are really getting brilliant! Keep up the great work Buddy!
Hi kev i am new to a hobby... Im planning to buy one... But i want to know which is better in durability jlbj3 speed or dhk maximus?
Kevin make some video for your first rc car
I hope you agree. thank u
That is literally the only place it breaks buy the metal upgrade and it will last forever. I did the same thing to mine and now it is unable to break
The Man in The mirror are you talking about a metal diff case, I was debating getting one of these but I don’t want my shock tower snapping randomly
At the end and, the way the mic picked up you saying perfectly. It was like PPPPPPPHHHHerfictly

Kevin can brake anything 😎👍
Na dip he broke the x maxx
@@ae86hachirokou38 who the fuck you calling a dip , dip shit can't read a proper sentence ?
.
@@juniorwest4138 he wasn't being a smart ass stupid he said no dip like no shit learn English
@@austin72 dip is not the same as shit , smart ass 😄
How do you stick your gopro?
Not bad for a cheap RC and I see that you up graded your e Revo and it's working good now keep making videos very entertaining
The rear shock tower mounting point seems to be the weakest link on this truck. DHK makes an aluminum gear box upgrade which is a bit pricey but should fix the issue.
Wow that things pretty weak? How cold was it outside roughly?
Maximus or ftx carnage?
Love your videos you an rc sparks helped me learn about rc and I bought one I’m tasking it to moab Utah to go crawling keep up the good work
Looks pretty durable to me chief!
When is your monster truck going to be finished??
Awesome. What's that strong putty holding the cam? Nice
To be honest you did hit a tree branch mid air and it dropped straight down on the top of the shock tower. It was a very fast and high drop so most RC Cars would be damaged from that drop. I have had damage to my Kratton from a drop straight like that. I think I might get one if it is cheap as you say. It looks really good.
Get a Traxxas xo-1 and take it to the skatepark. Like so Kev can see!!!
At the end you say it's not as tough as this one or this one, which ones are those? What's the best value rugged RC Car? (under 1000$, well under if possible)
"What Happened" great vid Kevin and friend's
What will happen if 11.1v 2200mAh battery is given to dhk maximus. Will it able to take or will burn the motor
get an x-01 and jump it at the skate park
YEEESSSSS
That would literally go to the moon
YES!
TO THE MOON BABY!!!!
And to the land and i dont want to see that
Nothing is indestructable, especially in the talented hands of Kevin Talbot! However, the DHK Maximus is an excellent and sturdy machine for a fair price.
The DHK maximus is not comparable to the traxxas x-maxx but it cool for a starter looks epic
I don't think I've ever seen a shock tower just break off like that. I've broken shock towers but never tore them clean off.
What kinda adhesive are you using on your GoPro? Love you videos btw. You guys are the reason I got back into RC’s.
Slash 4x4 or rustler 4x4?
Kev what is your must do upgrade to a slash 4x4. Because I want to start bashing. Thanks
First thing I would do is upgrade to a senton blx.
Loving those Montage Shots bro
You got the best crew to hang out with. What an awesome bashin session - OOOHhhhhhhhhh ! LOLz
been waiting for this!! epic stuff kev!
Another great video I was wondering about that thing cant wait to see more from you guys

Hey kev do you think it is stronger than the slash
Lol
since you always make such huge jumps trie attaching wings to the cars and see if they can fly for a bit. Or glide a little
No RC car is unbreakable sadly...
I wish
NO there is one the unbreakable rc car is ambhibian rc NIKKO VAPORIZR 2 kevin try destroy it on videos
@@automoto95 because it's Nikko toy grade and doesn't move quickly enough to damage itself? Nice try, but I'm pretty sure we're talking about actual bashers here with parts support and quality components.
@@troyguinn303 yes IT doesent run that fast but also wont be break when hit by another fastter cars for parts we can buy 2x same nikko cars
good video guys. kev what did you think about that maxim us?
lol once again i need to wait until the end to ask my questions huh
To you kev anything is possible. keep it up dude👍
Is there any reason why mine is so slow? I just got this truck and it won't go faster than max throttle trim.. I've calibrated the ESC but it's still so slow. Got the 4S battery setup with batteries fully charged. Don't know where I'm going wrong..
The skate park is always fun
$320 for this pile is not cheap. But with 2 lipo its actually not a bad deal.
Can you make a review about the Bsr Sabertooth
Is that just ordinary white tac to hold the Go pro kev?
how fast does it go
what happened to the drone drop with the wltoys? looking foward to it, if its still happening :)
I was so excited for the test.
It’s not going to stand up to the maxx! Thanks for the videos Kevin keep them coming!
For what it costs and how well this truck performs it already kicked xmaxx booty!!!..lol
plz teach me how to do good landings
Looks like a similar chassis to the HPI bullet 3.0
Your take on the xmaxx taking a beating? I am having a hard time on deciding. My Outcast has been the most strongest RC I have so far. I bash my outcast hard too. And it takes it. Not saying I was a fan for it is kinda ugly. But it grows on you. And starts to look actually sweet.
Can it wheelie
Cool video Kev!!!
How do keep the gopro attached on the body, I can't quite see how it's mounted.
Do this cars have someting like low voltage detection out of the box
I too have a dhk. Custom painted to venom hehe
I have the DHK Zombie (almost identical to the Maximus) and while it's a decently tough basher the front and rear outdrives are badly worn after just a few runs on 4s. I've replaced them once, 3 week wait from China and now they need replacing again. I think it's time to say bye bye Zombie.
They have upgraded zombie outdrives now
@@clint8662 Have you got a link? If I can solve the outdrive issue I'll be a very happy man
Cool video Kevin amazing video your super cool
brilliant video as always
Love your videos kev... keep doing what you do mate!
Nice video Kevin keep em coming please and also tell pat to make his xmaxx 8 s and gear that sucker up it will be much more capable then
can you actually get parts for these though ?
😁 Xmaxx got ASSMAXXED by a MAXIMUS!
Car looks a beast Kev
Keep up the brill vids😃
I have multiple rc cars cheap to top of the line I've busted everyone,the important part is if you buy replacement parts
How do you mount the gopro on the cars
How do you hold the gopro on the body of your rc cars
One BROKEN indestructible, does pretty good though
Looks good! But I may just spend the money converting my old 3.3 T Maxx to 4s! I’ve been out of the hobby for a while so always had nitro. Brushless is so much better! But I do love my T maxx so maybe bring her into the modern world!
You should do more cheap Rc car and test them through everything
My steering stopped on my xmaxx today while driving it I’m thinking it’s my servo?
Don't mind that - it'll buff out!
Kev is there any way you could do a review and durability test on the Redcat blackout Xte pro please
Is it ok to run 4s on the rustler vxl 4x4 rite out of box??
Kev please test a himoto emxt-1 brushless. But this video is cool again, like everyone of your videos
Kev im looking for upgrades for my slash what do you recomend?
i know im not kev but a good upgrade for the slash is the low centre of gravity chassis to stop the car from rolling over so easily
That would be helpfull becuse im allways rolling over my car
But my tires keep sliping and i cant get tracton when im in high pile grass or mud
Jacob Weimer yes that’s because the slash is made for dirt racing, not off road use (mud and grass)
Great stuff 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Does just bash it make upgrades for this
Love the videos keep up the good work
Hey Kev, chasing your videos ^^ - would you rather recommend a DHK Maximus, Zombie oder ZD Pirates 3/Eachine EAT02 if available at nearly the same price for a kind of beginner in that scale?

@Kevin Talbot, will you be reviewing the Hobao Hyper mt plus 2?
Please review the cheaper ZD Racing monster trucks!
