@@KevinTalbotTV Hey Kev, is it possible to put on a different motor such as the 2435 brushless motor on a esc that was meant for a surpass hobby waterproof 2430 7200KV Brushless Motor?
Yeah, had that happen twice on my Erevo, you have to send it back with the motor to get it sorted, too much down time, you get it back it lasts three runs then it goes again. Time to fit another esc, sorted.😊😊😊
@@johnk8510 at that point why buy it. That’s the heart of Rc car. For 700 I would think 5 mins of fun should go back to the store for a refund and NEVER BUY traxxas again. That’s me tho.
Great review, everyone is complaining about the speed, how it jumps, how it handles, and basically complaining about everything, I like it and no truck is perfect in every category... great run 💯👍👍
They built the Max Slash because the Arma Mojave 4s and 6S is on the pedestal, at least Trax tried. Go fast Green aye aye, Thanks for the video Mr. Kevin.
I really enjoy your videos Kev!! Of course we’re all not gonna agree with everything. I disagree with the video headline that this is the best RC of the year. Maybe most durable. But for $700 you get a plastic geared servo, short shocks that aren’t the right size and overpriced wheels that have no grip. It doesn’t drive very well as far as an SCT should. Still thanks for the entertainment factor! You really do know how to test these trucks for their breaking point! Even if it breaks in 5 minutes!
@@rustler08 a brick is pretty durable too but it’s not gonna drive very good now is it?! It’s not a basher! It’s a drivers kind of truck that doesn’t handle the way it should compared to cheaper trucks with quality parts.
Your charger is switched to “high output” which is only one side. Hit the black switch in the middle and you’ll be good to go brother! Btw I freaking love your videos brother, I appreciate your skills and business advice is on point! Keep doing what you’re doing bud!!
Can’t wait for the XRT-U video! I just got one last week and I’m loving it! I drove the absolute crap out of a 2WD slash when I was a kid years ago. Most dependable rc car I ever had.
2:45 Tried flipping the quick charge switch back to the left (normal) position? When you have it switched to the right only the right port is enabled as it's sending max current to one port and disabled the other. Switch to the left and both are enabled.
Kevin I just learned something new with the Losi Promoto MX. If you tilt the receiver forward a little bit on the mount just twist it so the left top corner is facing forward. basically leaning at a forward angle the throttle will not cut when hitting the big jumps at the skate park. You lean it forward enough just to trick it into thinking it's still not past its wheelie tipping point. It works like a charm. We learned this while we were racing them and jumping them at the amain hobby race track. You put it on offroad mode it works best.
The MAXX Slash is a true marvel of engineering. The fact that it is completely waterproof is amazing! Just like every video, thanks for entertaining us Kev!
@@3s1kill if u bought a brand new car driving to work and transmission went would u be upset and not want to buy that model again ever tho u know it’s under warranty?

So, if we bought one and the ESC was faulty from the start will traxxas provide a replacement or are we assed out? Let's face it, the typical person is buying only one, and if this RC has a high rate of faulty electronics, is it worth buying?
They will replace it. They might want you to send the motor too and they send back both new. It might have been the motor shorted out and fried the esc

Stick a piece of foam from the parts in-between the shock tower and it will stop it from over compressing. It works wonders for my slash. I never broke a bumper again.

Hey Kevin. Watch the traxxas video, and within the first 20 seconds, you will see what's missing in the front suspension. (Lower shock mounts and springs for xmaxx)

Love your honest reviews Kevin..not a big fan of Traxxas, this happened to me out of the box with a Rustler years ago; it took sending it back twice/4 months total before it would work at all.
Oh yeah bro . Sweet . I spray them down and use a powerful blower , but not too powerful . I was using the air compressor which is more surgical blowing , lol . I was doing yard work one day and had a craftsman blower with the big battery and used it after spraying some silicone oil and it dries so nice and …dry . Seems like it keeps it fresh looking . The wheel to center area and the fin on the Kraton 1/8 even looks new with scratches . Everyone knows this already probably .
LOVE IT! I have been waiting so long for you to put one through its paces! Ive had mine since day one and LOVE it. I just cant kill it. Shame about the first ones ESC. Wonder what happened?
My launch day UDR got the red light of death after a couple years and it turns out sometimes it isn't REALLY dead but when it throws an error code and Traxxas programs them to shut down and only they can disable the error codes
comforting to see how one thing in Traxxas cars is always constant. their ESCs suck! chassis are good and motors are solid (although expensive) but i really want traxxas to start selling their cars as a kit without electronics. still waiting for the day when any of my hobbywing ESCs die
Kev, great video. You test everything and give your fans an honest review. And one thing, you should get the wide for the arrma granite. I got the wide kit, I drove it on 2s, and it’s insane. It makes it a little faster.😅
