3 years ago I got a bug for rc cars, then I got one that broke constantly, now i got bit again and just got a team corally punisher. It is exactly what I wanted 3 years ago and what I want now.
Awesome video!! I recently got the V1 with a free widemaxx kit from my LHS. First thing I did was play with wheel combo's and the Revo 3.3 wheels fit great on this truck.
Bingo! I started with a stampede XL-5 as a kid and all I wanted was a nitro. Years later 3 nitros later and settled on a Maxx v2. Done with the hassle I just want to charge and go 😂😂
@HenAndPenn nitro and petrol rc cars suck, just constant tuning and maintance, and the noise just causes trouble. I had the nitro t max and hpi 5B petrol.
I got one and it's insane, but the tyres got worn in like two weeks. Now i'm still using them WITHOUT the foams (i didn't locked the vent holes) and one is kinda ripped a little bit, but they're fine !
Often we keep the car in the video room for later use (video or photoshoots), but often we send the vehicle to the retail store to be on display for customers. Less common we sell the car at our swap meet or we just give it away. -Brett
So you may notice that the tires on the Maxx V2 have like a white chalk layer on them... If you want to make them look darker and look more like well... A tire.. you can use a car tire spray that will blacken them and make them look brand new! I did that with my V2 and it really makes a difference, I highly recommend it!
Just got the maxx v2, broke the plastic driveshafts in 2 days I think mostly from selfrighting. Upgraded to metal and 65 mph on the first GPS and tqi speed run.
I did max 8 with 2200kv 6s right away. first speed run crashed it like an idiot batteries flew out and smashed the corners open. im afraid to charge them now.
Probably Maxx V2. If the terrain is really rough and chunky then the Sledge; the extra size and bigger tires from the Sledge will handle this terrain better. -Brett
Brett you are such a great basher. I love your style man. I'll never forget your first XMAXX bash on your individual channel. Straight savage, cheers my friend ❤️💯🍻
Shoot. Rustler 4X4 VXL vs Maxx 2.0? That is a tough one. They are both beasts in their own way, one a little bigger and more capable in rougher terrain. Bigger trucks need more space though, bigger tires cost more and 4S LiPo's cost more than 3S. Not a bad decision to have to make; you win either way! -Brett
@@DUNGSTA short grass is fine for any rc. But tall grass isn't a good idea for any rc. Tall grass is like forcing the truck to plow through a wall of Mudd.
Great video, as always. I enjoyed the crash. This lets people know what not to do, which is hit a poll or a wall. It looks like a solid truck, and I hope I can buy one soon. I believe I found the truck I want, but the e revo I like just as well. Thanks, amain hobbies, for all your videos .
I just picked one up a few days ago, it's been raining the last few days, so I have to wait for everything to dry out before I charge up a few packs and hit one of the local parks which happens to have a small track that someone created about 20 years ago.
@William Perri I haven't driven either one either I want to but I can't afford smother RC right now. I have bought to many recently. And if anyone is wondering the 2 maxx I had for my videos I parted them out when I was done I didn't make a profit but I came close to breaking even. But for me I just wanted to make the videos. I'll check out Razor RC.

See a few videos of people having power loss / esc cutting out on these. it put me off getting one until they have been around a little while in case it’s a common fault.
Love the video I watch it a few times a week 🤣I bought one and love it it is tough!! Tougher than my sledge in my opinion! The only problem I’m having with the max is overheating so I had to drop the pinion one tooth and that seem to fix it
Interesting! That would make for a great comparison video. With your Maxx overheating, did you change to a larger tire diameter? Is the motor heatsink fan still working? Are you letting the truck cool after driving, before driving again? The Maxx 2.0 comes geared down 1 tooth compared to the original Maxx so I'm really surprised to hear about overheating. -Brett
Cool video. So, how do you like the Sweep Racing Road Crushers? Are they good quality tires? Do they maintain traction really well when running at high speeds? PLMK at your convenience. Thanks for your time.
Yeah, they've served us well. They're very flat and rigid belted tires, so they stay flat the whole time. We've only used them to bash around in dirty parking parking lots, but performance was always good and much improved over a nobby tire on that surface. -Brett
@@flhandster4395 No, they only offer the one size, with 17mm hex. Have you checked out 1/8 buggy tires? It's another on-road option with shorter tires that are more narrow. www.amainhobbies.com/jconcepts-speed-claw-belted-tire-premounted-w-cheetah-speedrun-wheel-white-jco3113-19/p1126937 The Sweep tires are larger diameter, so it's like gearing up the motor. The 1/8 buggy tires are shorter, like gearing down the motor. In either case, you may need to re-gear the pinion gear once changing tire sizes to keep the motor/esc from overheating; it just depends on your driving style, how hard you drive, the surface you drive in and the ambient outside temperatures. -Brett
@@TheNamesArif It reduces your turning radius and increase body roll, as well as introducing excessive chassis slap. A good tune on a standard-width Maxx will outhandle a WideMaxx and won't roll either.
@@nvl2691 With the widemaxx kit or without it, I’ve yet to break a chassis or anything plastic besides a servo and 2 driveshafts. Traxxas tires are garbage so I’ve went through 3 pairs of those. One motor also. Couple bearings. It’s took a better beating than my Mojave
@@AMain_Hobbies ahh because i want to install the hobbywing max6 to it but i don't know if the traxxas voltage amplifier will fit into receiver or to esc but i think there is not enough pins in it, thats the problem that i need to fix.

i broke so many rc's with those deady fences lol, one time i was bashing a rustler and flew past a fence post and just barely caught the back tire and just ripped the whole suspension off the rear when is snagged the pole 😂
Yes sir. It has the wider upper arms, lower arms, driveshafts and steering links, plus the shock spring change; everything included with the WideMaxx kit, is not equipped on the the Maxx. It's pretty sweet and the truck bashes/drives with more stability. -Brett
The speed controller has a "Training Mode" where it limits the throttle power by 50%. I'm not sure the exact speed this will limit the truck to, but power is severely reduced. -Brett
It seems really cool, but I don't want to buy another Traxxas (at least new) after learning about their parents and lawsuits. I'll keep waiting for Arrma to bring back their 4s lineup.
You think at that price they would have included more aluminum like aluminum shock towers. HPI Savage has the same problem. Then again is it on purpose ? Is some plastic shock towers "better" then aluminum ? I have never broke one on my Savage X 4.6 nitro. The old school ones. However I see almost all higher end trucks / cars have good quality aluminum. Please share and notice if you like. Id love to learn why.

i just bought this today and shredded the tires within the first 10 minutes of driving it its a beast
Man this truck freaking rips. I’m starting to consider getting into this hobby and get one of these 🥵
Did you ever get into it? I've been into RC for a long time and some of the most fun is going out with friends and family to bash / race.
If you wanna start rc I recommend getting a traxxas slash 2wd it’s cheap and good for beginners
Do it!! Your Wallet will hurt though lol 😂
If u decide to go into it brace yourself, you are never gonna stop upgrading your rc XD

Nice video as always! ✌️
Just got the maxx v2, broke the plastic driveshafts in 2 days I think mostly from selfrighting. Upgraded to metal and 65 mph on the first GPS and tqi speed run.
Really surprised to hear they broke in 2 days. Was the break at the driveshaft ear where the metal coupler fits in the hole on each side?
-Brett
I did max 8 with 2200kv 6s right away. first speed run crashed it like an idiot batteries flew out and smashed the corners open. im afraid to charge them now.
Love yours videos! They are the best!
Quick Question: Traxxas Maxx V2 or Traxxas Sledge? With one would you pick?
Probably Maxx V2. If the terrain is really rough and chunky then the Sledge; the extra size and bigger tires from the Sledge will handle this terrain better.

@@sultanwashington There you go. Spending some time with it you might see your money best spent in other areas, like additional batteries, better tires, improved servo, etc. Upgraded suspension might look cool but will have not enhance performance much over the stock suspension.
