Yeah I gotta do something the Traxxas stock and even Traxxas "upgrade 2085X" really sucks, I'm a Traxxas fan all the way, but they really dropped the ball o. The X size servo, I've gone through so many....great vid thanks, I come to you for the right thing to do!!!👍👍
I put the savox sb2290 in my xmaxx 5 years ago and never looked back. Like 555oz low and 694oz high. Snappy turning and can turn those prolines in almost all conditions from stand still.
Another great servo company is promodeler, I have one in my XMaxx and it's a beast! Bro please take that Vitavon bulkhead off, every shot I see is you having to correct the front nose diving. All you really need is a good diff cover and maybe a HR flat plate underneath.....and shove a 4mm screw with got glue into that steering post(mod) under the front bulkhead to protect the plastic steering post snapping (Kevin Talbot Mod) My 2 Cents
@@zackskokan7229 they have a couple depending on your truck wieght but you cant go wrong with the DS1155BLHV servo it the 1155 oz/in torque and the most powerful they have
@@zackskokan7229 I have the older 600+oz in one, but John from promodeler reccomended the 900+ oz in one for the Xmaxx though the one I have is still more powerful than what 90% of guys are using out there. The 1155 I think is Overkill unless your running tons of weight and big trenchers but even the the 900+ one should be fine. His Servos are SOOOO over built internally that even the one I have has way tougher gears than ANYTHING on the market.
What i like is when u giggle!!! And when u laigh it makes me laugh and reminds me of scooby doo i use to watch way back !! I love your laugh dude i dont know if someone ever told u but ya its a cool laugh like scooby its a cool one !!!! And unique rock on dude!!
Sport? Trx4? I just put in an HK Hobbies 35kg in the Rebelcon and I’d assume it would work well for the sport too plus it’s good to 4S if you want to direct power it.
Did you chew that plastic off with your dentures? Sw2290sg-be fits without chewing anything apart. Also use the promodeler horn. It is supported where factory one was. That’s not much of a upgrade speed yes, power not so much.
Hello I appreciate the video. Looking to buy this servo over the savox 2290sg that I already have that I keep bending servo horns with. What servo horn is this? Thanks
Torque of a servo won’t affect turning radius, thats the down to end point adjustments and your differentials. More torque and speed helps the car go where you tell it to go, gives better handling. To me the biggest benefit of buying an expensive servo is the durability and replacability of gears And what not if they do strip. I bought cheap servos the first year into the hobby but ended up spending more on the replacements than I would have if I went expensive to begin with. Like everything in this hobby, it depends on how you run your cars. Cheap servos are fine if you’re not pushing them, but you get what you pay for
Thank's for sharing Joe 💯👍👊✌

You did it it's about time
Yes sir same feeling I had when I made the swap 🤣😂🤣 made a huge difference… like you said just how it goes sometimes 👍👍👍
My servo is dying in my Xmaxx and I need a replacement, now I know which servo to get and how to do the job! Thanks bro!
You forgot a link for the servo horn!

Just bought that same Savox servo. What horn did you use?
Nice quick servo swap ! Nice upgrade !
Thanks
Great editing brother. Love these videos with my coffee
I've got the reef smart 1100 in my xmaxx.. And its amazing. Got the Max 6 and stock motor. And no trimming it just dropped in.
Did you use the conversation kit?
When will you be reviewing the new raw 800 I’m interested in how that will do, I’d like to throw that in the Traxxas xrt
this guy sounds just like Stacey David from gearz awesome videos very helpful and informative
Dude why are you insulting Stacy??? LOL thanks man!!!

Nice i will have an xmaxx some day 👍
What servo horn is that? I’m putting a Savox in mine and trying to find a horn like you have here.
This hobby moves so fast there's absolutely no way to stay on top of everything. I would have kept the stock electronics until they died too.
What i like is when u giggle!!! And when u laigh it makes me laugh and reminds me of scooby doo i use to watch way back !! I love your laugh dude i dont know if someone ever told u but ya its a cool laugh like scooby its a cool one !!!! And unique rock on dude!!
And your background music is relaxing and soothing!! In this video love your laughs keep up the energy and life u give us on ur videos dude

I got reefs triple5 in mine. 555oz of torque really yanks those wheels back and forth.
Promodeler for me...no need to trim the chassis...which isn't something I want to do, direct power, and it fits! Also John is a great guy...
Did you need to get an electrical kit ?
The music is to calming
Awesome vid as usual. What type of receiver is that?
Where can i get a belt drive setup for my xmaxx?? Nobody has them in stock.
Wfo racing they have them now
Time for a new servo for the sport what would be a good direct fit ?
Sport? Trx4? I just put in an HK Hobbies 35kg in the Rebelcon and I’d assume it would work well for the sport too plus it’s good to 4S if you want to direct power it.
How is it going with this servo after a year??

Are you saying the sw2290sg isn't powerful or speedy? I'm looking at that, this raw 500, and the agfrc A86BHMW.
No link for the servo horn.
How has it held up since the install?
Where did you get those ramps
brotha after a 1 year! you still use the 500raw serv? thoughts?
Hey Exo,
what is the best Upgrade from Vitavon for the Xmaxx.
Cheers
Hello I appreciate the video. Looking to buy this servo over the savox 2290sg that I already have that I keep bending servo horns with. What servo horn is this? Thanks
How do you keep your truck so clean?
what tires are those?
Should try a Hobbywing 10A BEC if you put a Raw 500 in Big Red. Get that full 8.4V!
What servo horn did you say you had to use with that reefs raw 500 in your x-max I'm about to get one for mine
If you had to do it over would you buy the same servo? if not what would you buy. I'm in the market and new to the X-maxx and all electric rc`s.
Ha. I got them same batteries. Do they fit the xmaxx
I was literally just looking at Raw500's for my xmaxx last night lol I think this is a sign
Yep!!
Noooo!! Pro modeler is the best bigger gears it will last longer!
I jus ordered my 3rd servo in the last 2 weeks after the stock one gave out. I'll this one next 🤦🏻♂️😂
Nice ride always great to see my options when it’s time for upgrades my xmaxx is pretty new I’m a little nervous wrenching on it
Keeping stock electronics doesn't offer the opportunity to creat a video. 😎
What? You need to do all of that to install a servo?
JOE - DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO TO SHOW REEFS BEAST 1000 Servo AND HOW IT FITS INTO THE X-MAXX?? APPRECIATE IT.
Which udr horn did you use ?
Just the metal one.
@@ExocagedRC the 8543 aluminum ones on Amazon? Or the hot racing
There is only one style of horn made for the UDR.
@@ExocagedRC if you have a link would you care to attach it ?
i put the raw 500 and jconcepts magmas on mine now it dont have the power to go full left or right with a 2s lipo going straight to the receiver lol
I was wandering if you'd ever swap a 500 into the xmaxx. I've had 0 issues with mine for over 2yrs now
Iv been wondering if you can get the reefs in the maxx as not long got one and the stock steering servo is shocking so thanks for the video 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Yes it increases torque which increases speed but does it decrease the turn radius? If not, what’s the benefit vs. the cost?

Like everything in this hobby, it depends on how you run your cars. Cheap servos are fine if you’re not pushing them, but you get what you pay for
So it’s year or so later. Can we have a long term review on the Reefs Raw500 please?
It’s just as good as it was new. The RAW500 is a legendary servo IMO.
That’s fantastic to here. Thank you very much for the update. It is greatly appreciated.@@ExocagedRC
You should put one of the new reefs servos in the red xmaxx
BowHouse!!!
But if there was a servo available to handle the abuse its the raw 500
👋👍😉
What’s up buddy what happened to Eddie Hall ha ha
1😛
Also this is way too weak of a servo for an xmaxx at 7.4.
