Epic Traxxas XRT Upgrade Series: Solving Diff Problems and Chassis Flex (Part 2)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- #vitavon #m2cracing #traxxas 🤑 I am building the TRUE Ultimate 1/5 RC Basher!
I took a base model XRT and maxed it out. In Part 2 of 4 we are focused on upgrading and installing the front, centre and rear differentials. The flex in the XRT chassis are bad and make the diffs skip or break teeth so adding strength in these area is important. So we add in the front and rear aluminum bulk heads are an easy and light weight solution. Next is moving from MOD 1 to MOD 1.5 which is the gear thickness - a much needed improvement. Lastly, we add in the M2C flex drive shaft which is a really smart upgrade. Knowing the chassis flexes this eliminates the drive shaft bending.
This upgrade series is created to help other interested in this truck, possible upgrades that might need to be done, and obviously the final bash testing to see if all these upgrades are worth of the hefty price tag. Certainly the most expensive build I have ever done and will be fun to durability test. Time to wrench!

Truck definitely looks cool with all that red alloy but imo your taking away the flex that makes the xmaxx and XRT so durable
This is a sick build my my friend 👍👍nice job👊🏻👊🏻
Bless you 😉 truck is looking good 😁🤯 maybe some day i will do this same thing. Still having fun with the fireteam for now though. All metal besides swing arms, max 6 combo, lights and guards 😁 keep em coming man!!
It's hard to beat the fire team, absolute beast! Once I get to bash the XRT we'll see if the upgrades are worth it haha
Got a fire team two weeks ago. I traded my old smt axiel mint red Marlboro. With hobbywing. I haven't drove fire team yet. I just got it cause I love the whole scheme of the truck
It looks great. Good job 😊. Love you cant wait for the other parts❤
Thx 🙏 Next video dropping today ✌️
That Vitavon is lush ❤
Hell yeah!
I have a lot of what you do done no gears yet I need 3 things for it to be an ultimate. Bulkheads gear cover servo cover and that's all I need to have everything you did. I love the truck it runs amazing and xmaxx is just as fun in its own way as well. Love the video you killed the building. I would have done all red as well. I got the special black edition so mine is all black so far
Dude, for the gear boxes (front and rear Diffs. enclosure), It's better to use a bit of gasket maker instead of having metal to metal contact. That will provide regidity, acts against rubbing wear, and also will prevent any kind of oily/greasy leakages.
Another awesome video brother hell yeah !
I got me a big fella coming so this is right on schedule amen 🙏
Stay awesome
Chris 🤙🚀💪🤘
Hell yeah brother - we're synced up! Ill watch out for your XRT videos
My new favorite channel
@@jjonwards thx homie 🙏😎🔥
It does look good 👍
Thx bro!
Great job. Love what you’re doing
Lets gooo!
Mc2 drive shaft kit install video. Shows the shaft center plate wasn't put in the way you did.
Does this impact the way it runs. I put it in as they did in the video.
If you shim your diffs after you break it in You will be good to go and save money
Center driveshaft Thunder RC mod no problems since then
Awesome build 👏
Thx man!
Damn, that looks nice!
Thx bro!
That’s a lot of aluminum parts. I have a Xmaxx with only with proline shock shafts, HD non widemaxx arms, proline badlands, and a max6. I want a XRT. If I get one my hobby shop has the black one and I will sell it the esc and motor.
Holy 💩! man epic build. Million dollar question brother . . . . I know there 2 Completely Different platforms . . . .BUT at the 1/5 scale would you say is more difficult to work on vs. a Kraton 6s? Because the XRT is obviously BIGGER. It just seems like it "may" be easier to work on because the real estate is just bigger. I'm just curious. You got me wanting an XRT Now! damnit!!!!!! 🤣
haha thx bro! She's coming together. Some challenges fitting the new motor in but I think I can make it work 😅 Yea, the 1/5 scale is much easier to work on simply because the size part, screws etc...I haven't driven the XRT yet but by far the coolest truck I have. Any 1/5 is just epic
damn dude!!! that's a lot of coin to be spending on aluminum bits. are you going to do a video on what order you'd do the upgrades in if having to do it in steps? plans on doing a UDR or SBR?
Oh yeah, had to save up for this one haha... I'll do a video suggesting which upgrades to do once I get to bash it - That will really be the test. These upgrades it picked based on research and past experience bashing... UDR on the way ;)
Can I put sway bar links on my Xrt??
That mesh at 6:00 hurt my soul. It's absolutely terrible.
Dont worry its stock 😂😂
I went to Vitavon website and I do not see any of the parts in RED for the XRT....How did you get the RED vitavon parts?
@@Dragorus360 add all the aluminum silver parts to your cart and in the order notes just say everything silver make anodized red. They are super good at making everything anodized to the colour options they have available. Also, it doesn’t take any extra time for them to do it, which is amazing ✌️
@@KUDRARACING Awesome. This I did not know about Vitavon. I assume they can do the other traxxas colors too. Thank You!
Improper use of thread locker
I like to no the weight of it after the build
Mee too, im looking to see if I can find another stock one and get the before and after lol
Whats the investment? Total costs?
Take a guess?
