That is definitely a beast of an RC Truck! Better make reservations for dinner tonight with the wife! She’s gonna want an American Canner with that purchase!
lol yeah its a beast sooo much fun too thank you for sticking with this content. She actually doe snot like to eat out much she prefers home cooking I like to eat out lol
Doesn't matter how late you come back to RC cars. When you step up to the plate with the king 🤴 i upgraded my 6s years ago and still love it. Such an impressive truck
looks like a beauty man! as a 16 year old kid who just got a job at an amusement park, i’m hoping that i can save up and make enough money to get me one myself! that’s the dream at least!
Thank you yes its fun. There are less expensive options too that are fun. When I was your age I saved for the Tamiya Clod Buster and I still have it. You can do it good luck.
good call buy a rc that fits your driving style so your not disappointed I have the XRT too and they are both great the XRT handles a bit better but is just as capable as the Xmaxx enjoy
They are fast! Way faster than what I grew up with. I did the video on the Hotshot its a model rc car I built I did actually build one recently 😁 not as much fun as I remembered though lol its a nice car.
It’s actually a 1/6 Scale not a 1/8 , the smaller Maxx is a 1/10 Scale , the small rubber piece goes into the rear bulk head ,the front of the Truck has one already, the one in the bag is for the rear , the Wheelie bar blocks it , so you don’t need it , Have fun with it !
I now have a Rustler 4x4 VXL and I've been thinking of buying an X MAXX 8S soon! What do you think of the car now that you have more experience with it? Has the X MAXX worked well and has there been a lot of broken parts? 0:23
Its been solid I had to rebuild a leaky shock and thats been it. I jump it usually no more than 6ft high the extreme bashers launching them might break a thing or two for me its been solid fun to drive at full speed and rip through the dirt
Hard to go wrong with the X Maxx it can handle about any terrain. It has a lot os suspension for jumps. The Xrt is cool as well its a bit lower so cant clear as much its fast if you like to rip around in a dirt field its a bit more stable. I have the outcasr 8s its fun very powerful it does wheelies for days but its heavy I have bent axles with it. For a little less the Sledge is a beast as well I think its actually faster than all of them and its 6s little cheaper on the batteries and cost to buy I do enjoy it a lot as well.
I want to buy everything 😅 Thank you for answering so quickly👍 I am now trying to decide what my next car would be🤔 Greetings to you from Finland and have a nice Christmas 😊 I hope you have understood my writing because my English is not that good.
no problem your English is fine no worries. You dont have to have the biggest most expensive rc to have fun. I have the Kyosho madvan its fast and fun but not really a jumper I also have the traxxas Rustler VXL its fast and lot of fun very solid rc as well. Just as long as your having fun thats all that matters
You do know that you could program the ECS to different settings for your throttle control you’re breaking your steering. And yes that is definitely a big truck I think the size is what stopped me from find one but I am a Arma type person. Don’t really care too much for Traxxas
Definitely with the Bluetooth module I can easily change a lot of parameters. I am not a fan of anything as of yet Traxxas has my attention I like the products. I did look at the Arrma Kraton initially didn't want to spend that much so I got the rustler now I am hooked 😳 these new cars are so fast and capable
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife yeah if I ever get back down that way or you ever come back up this way I’ll let you take my big rock for a spin I think you’ll be hooked on the speed side of it once you get to drive it. And I even still bash it jump it flip it drive the crap out of the thing. You should try to take your ex Maxx and try to do a backflip with it off a parking curb
@@ky_chevy2824 still learning with these I am a bit cautious but still end up landing on the roof and stuff. I should have video taped me running flat out across the street that was wild! Its fun I am enjoying it
Bel video E giuste spiegazioni! Io sarei indeciso tra questo. Xmaxx e il kraton 8s... Il kraton piu veloce in stok Estetica leggermente meglio Xmaxx Ma non ho spazio😢 Quindi ascolto consiglio non li prenderò.... Già Erevo che ho e grande!! Saluti continua così 🤚
Do you mean the ultimate? I am still happy with mine I haven't broken anything on it just one leaky shock. I have no plans on getting another one I have a XRT as well I am good. I would consider one if they fixed the body popping off and reinforced it so the back half didn't bend up other than that its solid I am happy with mine.
Dont know my guess would be to save on shipping costs they can shrink the box down if the tires are off. That's interesting I did not know they changed it
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife Yes, they definitely come with the tires off just like the Xrt.. Now that you say, it does make sense that they would take the tires off to make the box smaller .. Thanks, I was thinking they sold me a older version or something
No problem I have had mine almost 2 years now and shipping has gone crazy so I guess it was cheaper to remake the box but it sure is nice not having to put them on. Thank you for watching I hope you subscribe follow along I have the XRT also and a whole bunch of other rc's
I have not timed it but the videos I shoot I would say 15 minutes probably 20 and thats on the Traxxas batteries 5700 mah you can modify the battery trays to take straps and run bigger if you need more run time
So it came. And it doesn't work. The ESC flashes red and the truck is unresponsive as soon as it gets more than 30 feet away from me. Furious doesn't even begin to cover it.
I had a broke receiver on my Sledge they cut the antenna wire during manufacturing so it was limited in range I contacted Traxxas they got a new one out to me. I have 4 vehicles not one problem with the esc. That sucks hopefully they get it fixed quickly for you
@@samfletcher93the esc on my xrt was doa brand new from the box. I was so pissed. Brand new and charge the lipos and put them in and the esc wouldn’t even turn on. Replaced it with a max 6 esc and sold the replacement Traxxas sent me.
That is definitely a beast of an RC Truck! Better make reservations for dinner tonight with the wife! She’s gonna want an American Canner with that purchase!
lol yeah its a beast sooo much fun too thank you for sticking with this content. She actually doe snot like to eat out much she prefers home cooking I like to eat out lol
It's always a great feeling to put a brand new RC, still in the box, in your car for the first time
Yes it is and guess what I just posted my 2 year update with this rc ohhh time flys
Doesn't matter how late you come back to RC cars. When you step up to the plate with the king 🤴 i upgraded my 6s years ago and still love it. Such an impressive truck
Look at your face, your are so happy like a baby.. I hope i can get this beast and have a happy face ..
Can’t wait to get one
They are amazing! Lots of fun.

@@L2theWcarscoffeelife Thank you! I believe I can too!
I was gonna get the xmax but after all the research and adding up the $$$ the xrt is the way to go for me. I’ll get a xmax later down the road
good call buy a rc that fits your driving style so your not disappointed I have the XRT too and they are both great the XRT handles a bit better but is just as capable as the Xmaxx enjoy
Thank you
Man those cars are fast! With your growing knowledge of RC trucks, you should build your own! 😏
They are fast! Way faster than what I grew up with. I did the video on the Hotshot its a model rc car I built I did actually build one recently 😁 not as much fun as I remembered though lol its a nice car.
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife Oh man did I miss that video? Man, if I could build anything I'd be happy 😆
@@brett.taylor no you commented on it building and driving the hotshot. its really easy to do get the kit from Tamiya super simple instructions.
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife Saw it! Yes. But you should also consider building one from scratch. 😉 Haha. By the way, which island will you be visiting?
Lol I dont know of anything that is less complete but I am good after that one I like this out of the box and rip. Your island Oahu
Unboxed it in the woods so wifey dosent know🤣
lol, great opening
I really want one, haha this is so fun!
They are a blast! Hope you get one
It’s actually a 1/6 Scale not a 1/8 , the smaller Maxx is a 1/10 Scale , the small rubber piece goes into the rear bulk head ,the front of the Truck has one already, the one in the bag is for the rear , the Wheelie bar blocks it , so you don’t need it , Have fun with it !
Nice truck….quite large😎
Thank you it is massive thats why its so fun you can run this about anywhere
Switch to QS8 connectors
No

@@ky_chevy2824 we definitely need to get together have a bash session lol
Fajne autko 🙂
Bel video
E giuste spiegazioni!
Io sarei indeciso tra questo. Xmaxx e il kraton 8s...
Il kraton piu veloce in stok
Estetica leggermente meglio Xmaxx
Ma non ho spazio😢
Quindi ascolto consiglio non li prenderò....
Già Erevo che ho e grande!!

I got my 2nd new one today the upgrade one just came out wide kit how about you?
Do you mean the ultimate? I am still happy with mine I haven't broken anything on it just one leaky shock. I have no plans on getting another one I have a XRT as well I am good. I would consider one if they fixed the body popping off and reinforced it so the back half didn't bend up other than that its solid I am happy with mine.
Why did yours come with the tires on and mines didn't.. I just got one about 2months ago, also got the xrt.. Both are original not the ultimate
Dont know my guess would be to save on shipping costs they can shrink the box down if the tires are off. That's interesting I did not know they changed it
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife Yes, they definitely come with the tires off just like the Xrt.. Now that you say, it does make sense that they would take the tires off to make the box smaller .. Thanks, I was thinking they sold me a older version or something

How long does it take to drive from full battery to empty with 8s if your not driving so easy with it
I have not timed it but the videos I shoot I would say 15 minutes probably 20 and thats on the Traxxas batteries 5700 mah you can modify the battery trays to take straps and run bigger if you need more run time
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife ok thanks for the help
Hopefully mine's coming tomorrow! 😬😬😬
So it came. And it doesn't work. The ESC flashes red and the truck is unresponsive as soon as it gets more than 30 feet away from me. Furious doesn't even begin to cover it.
Sorry to hear that. Are the batteries fully charged?
@VetRuski Travels They are. I'm using traxxas' own 6700 batteries. I've heard their ESC's can be poor but didn't expect failure right out of the box.
I had a broke receiver on my Sledge they cut the antenna wire during manufacturing so it was limited in range I contacted Traxxas they got a new one out to me. I have 4 vehicles not one problem with the esc. That sucks hopefully they get it fixed quickly for you
@@samfletcher93the esc on my xrt was doa brand new from the box. I was so pissed. Brand new and charge the lipos and put them in and the esc wouldn’t even turn on. Replaced it with a max 6 esc and sold the replacement Traxxas sent me.

9:00 I DID NOT EXPECT FOR A SLOW MO SOUND TO TEMERARALLY MAKE ME DEAF XD AHHHH
Ohh well you will live
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife Yup, Great vid Btw
Thank you
Nobody said anything about that before must have been a glitch when it uploaded
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife Maybe, But it wasn't bad. Just was kinda funny cause I fell out of my chair 🤣
