    3) maybe cut/2 piece driveshaft?
    If I'm running on the beach, you'd recommend sealed bearings and upgraded fans, maybe paddles, yes? Anything else I'm missing? Should i go softer or harder on the shocks, etc?

      @@runnerbaba I’ve broken both the upgraded front and rear hubs with the larger bearings and not like once or twice but 10 plus sets of front hubs and carriers. I’ve yet to break the rpm rear hubs and aluminum front hubs that thunder recommends. The stock drive cups I had were cracked by 10 battery packs through it, so I got the twice as expensive upgraded traxxas ones. A month or so goes by and I decide I want to redo the diffs so I tear it down to find my upgraded drive cups are splitting. After finally getting the hubs figured out I wasn’t just going to sit there and keep putting traxxas upgrade parts on if they were going to fail regardless. Reached out to our local hobby group and the xmaxx bashers all told me to get sleeves. So I ordered another 2 sets of traxxas upgrade ones which was $60 but I also got some aftermarket sleeves for $20 to put on them this time. It’s now been over a year and 100+ battery packs and I haven’t had a issue from them since

    No doubt that Traxxis is a great company, but the prices is what makes me stay away from that brand. But I do agree with u Thunda light weight is most definitely the way to go. That's why I'm sticking with ARRMA 3s and 4s models, they r so easy to work on and they r light too. But im buying a 120amp blx esc and a savox servo for my granite v3 3s. Which budget friendly servo would u recommend?? Stay safe and can't wait to see what 2023 has in store for all of us.

    own experience…
    After having 7 x max in 2 years…
    I lost 4 ( !!!! ) esc and 3 servo’s
    In 12 months…
    So I must say that I disagree with the stock option
    Be good ..
    because they are totally garbage
    and I feel like traxxas
    keep the same stock esc and servo
    without upgrading ( like a good normal company will do for her customers )
    Maybe so we are as a consumer skip spending more money on aftermarket parts who knows 🤨🤣🤣🤣

    Traxxas’s engineering department should be absolutely ashamed of themselves when it come to the stock servo and the tires (not sledgehammer) for the XMAXX. Absolutely disgraceful.
    I’m looking for a great replacement servo for the XMAXX, any helpful hints? Someone was telling me the Reefs 500 RAW was really good.

    • @thunderrc
      @thunderrc  Рік тому +1

      Yes, I agree with you. They should have a metal Servo an air for a car this magnitude in price. Great server upgrade could be any fifth scale. Servo reefs are the best.
