- Traxxas X-Maxx vs. XRT: Ultimate Showdown of RC Giants! First Run Madness
Hey everyone, welcome back to ChriswithaC RC! Today’s the day we’ve been building toward for months-the ultimate face-off between two absolute RC titans: the Traxxas X-Maxx Ultimate and the XRT Ultimate. This isn’t just a test run; it’s a celebration of the journey, the friendship, and the passion that fuels this hobby.
Let me take you back to the moment it all started. Last year, my best friend Robbie and I made a trip to Wheelspin Models, a place where RC dreams come true. It wasn’t just about picking up trucks; it was about marking a new chapter in our RC journey, honoring the hard work and legacy of Robbie’s late father, Mark. Robbie chose the sleek and fierce XRT, while I went all in on the beastly X-Maxx. These weren’t just any trucks-they’re the 2024 Limited Editions, and wow, are they stunning! Pure RC artistry that makes any basher’s heart race.
Over the past few months, we’ve poured our time and energy into getting these machines dialed in, holding back the temptation to run them solo. We wanted this moment to be special-our first run together. Finally, the day has come, and the anticipation has been absolutely electrifying.
So, how did they perform? Did all the setup, fine-tuning, and late nights in the workshop pay off? Let me just say…HOLY COW, YES! From jaw-dropping power to sheer precision, these trucks delivered in ways I can’t even put into words. It was a surreal experience seeing them come to life, side by side, ripping through the terrain with raw, untamed power.
This isn’t just a video; it’s a celebration of the RC community, the bonds we build, and the moments that remind us why we fell in love with the hobby in the first place. Thank you, Robbie, for making this dream a reality-you’re one in a million, mate.
Now, let’s get into the action. Buckle up and get ready for some RC madness as we put the X-Maxx and XRT through their paces. Trust me, this one’s a must-watch. Let’s go!🤘🚀🚀🚀🚀

I have a Maxx, X-Maxx, XRT and can easily say they all put endless smiles on my face! Also that Pokemon body is amazing!
I have always fancied the maxx v2 maybe one day I’ll pick one up .
But yes tons of fun and smiles !
As you said the Pokémon body is epic awesome work !
Have you done any upgrades on your X-Maxx ?
Thanks for watching
Stay awesome
Chris 🤙🚀👊😎🤘🤩💪🫡
@ You definitely won’t be dissatisfied with the Maxx v2! All my trucks are stockish. I’ve done battery tray mods because I truly dislike the factory set up, the Maxx has a full set of green arms, X-Maxx has orange upper arms stock lowers but I will change those to blue soon, and the XRT was a Facebook marketplace find that I’ve slowly been working on. I mean the XRT runs but it needs restoring I guess you could say lol
Beautiful just beautiful paint job and upgrades awesome builds
Ah thanks man , super happy with them both ! , Awesome trucks and man was such a pleasure to Rip with robbie after the journey both us have had with them .
Stay awesome
Chris :)

Chris 🤙😎🚀💪👊🤩🤘🫡
@@ChriswithaCrc I drive it 5 Lipo. We 50/22 Gearing and install the Widekit from M2C. Its not su wide how the original Widekit from Traxxas. We love this config. We also install the RPM Frontbumper
I am so happy i am fortunate enough to have a very very good paying job. I own both the green xmaxx ultimate and green xrt ultimate. Absolutely awesome cars both of them. Gotta buy some new batteries for next season, i only have one set of packs so i can only run one at a time but i want another set so i can run them both in the same session. Cant wait till summer! Absolutely phenomenal cars both of them :)
@@CorneK011 man that’s epic that you have both , I’m very very tempted to get the XRT myself as well at some point beautiful trucks 🛻
What batteries are you using buddy ?
Thanks for your support
Stay awesome
Chris 🤙👊🚀🤩🤘😎💪🫡🚙🚛🚚🛻🚒🚑
@ChriswithaCrc Currently I am running Traxxas 4s 6700 packs. I wanted to keep the eco system and my warranty so I went with Traxxas batteries never had any issues with them. But for my second set I would like to try some other brands maybe Onyx, Gens Ace etc.
That looks like a lot of fun there mate ! They both had a right blast. Fair play to you and Robbie ! I can’t wait to bring mine and play too !
Hey buddy , can’t wait for you to come down and race about with us ! Honestly made up with this truck and so is rob , thanks for all your advice also , you was so right .
Give me a shout ASAP when your ready for a blast 💥
Looking forward to seeing your new spicy motor also 🤙🤩🫡🤘👊🚀💪
Stay awesome buddy
Chris 🛻🚙🚛🚒🚑
Great work Chris and Robbie 👍 Excellent trucks. Have to bring my XMaxx labour of love over to Wales. 🏴
Hey buddy , thanks for the kind words dude , and also all the advice you gave me on the next video shout outs coming your way brother 👊
Yeah would love to do that , Big daft truck racing league is coming so if your up for it we would love to have you come down 🤙💪👊🫡🚀🤩🤘😎
Stay awesome Mitty dude
Chris 🤙😎🚀💪👊🤩🤘🫡
32:41 had me creasing up.... Not at what happened but at your exclamation 😂🫢😂
2 very awesome rigs there... My take from watching them together... They drive differently, enough that I can understand why a person might wanna be in it for £3k and get both.😳
My mindset always goes Truggy so XRT would be my first choice but at that sort of coin I could also be 2 very accomplished 6s trucks in.... Brilliant bash fellas,
Shits&Giggles.
Ha ha , ah man it was a genuine reaction to an unfortunate circumstance lol 😂, yeah it’s why I try not to edit my videos I keep reactions real ! Well that’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it lol 😂
Yeah awesome rights for sure 👌 myself and others have had so many different experiences with old dusty were we are bombing around 40/60 mph catching a rock and all hell breaks loose ! Cartwheels from hell , nose diving , diffs ripped out , so was refreshing to have trucks that eat up rough areas like this !
I’m super happy with my choice but robs truck is epic also , as you say it’s a lot of money 💰 but having said that 6s trucks I’ve ran here in the past just died a horrible death 💀
Thanks so much for watching and so glad you’re enjoying the channel and our journeys in the hobby .
I can’t wait to keep bringing more content time to take you guys to some special places and send them !
Stay awesome
Chris 🤙😎🚀💪🚀🤩🤘🫡🚙🚛🚚🛻🚒🚑🚙
You guys need to make a track down there for sure. Loving both trucks. Looking forward to seeing them both in person
Hey buddy thanks so much for watching 👀, ah man epic trucks and this area would make a perfect place to build a track , I might email the local council to see if they might be able to help also .
Would be great to get a more permanent area and a track made .
Hope you’re able to down one day .
Stay awesome 🤩
Chris 🤙🫡🚀💪🤘🤩👊😎
So much fun
Ah man you’re so so right they’re epic !
So looking forward to take it out again asap !
Stay awesome 🤩
Chris 🤙💪🚀🫡👊🤩🤘
They look awsome definitely suited for old dusty
Hey buddy , yeah works great to be honest , apart from me nose diving it lol 😂
But quite honestly looking forward to getting out with you guys again soon .
Stay awesome 🤩
Chris 🤙💪🤘👊🤩🚀😎
Nice bash spot
Honestly bud it’s awesome there
Epic spot to get out and bash !
Both look awesome fun👌
I bought a green Xmaxx Ultimate last year and then bought a red XRT in June. I bought all the parts to turn it into a red XRT Ultimate. Between the two of them I enjoy driving the XRT a lot more but the Xmaxx is the better stunt truck as expected. If I could only have one it would be the XRT. I have both of them geared 20/46. I have gone through about 4 of the front bumper mounts on the Xmaxx so far. At least they are cheap to buy.
Wow, sounds like you’ve got an incredible lineup there with the green X-Maxx Ultimate and the red XRT Ultimate conversion-what a dream duo! I completely agree with your take; the X-Maxx is unmatched for stunts, but the XRT really shines when it comes to driving dynamics. I love how versatile they are in their own ways.
The 20/46 gearing setup is a sweet spot for performance on both trucks! As for the bumper mounts on the X-Maxx, I hear you-those do take a beating, but at least, like you said, they’re easy on the wallet. Have you considered upgrading to a more durable aftermarket mount, or do you just stick with the stock ones?
Thanks for sharing your setup and experience-it’s always great to hear how others are enjoying their rigs!"
Let me know if you'd like any tweaks!
Stay awesome
Chris :)
@@ChriswithaCrc No plans to change the stock one as they are so cheap to change. I have even drilled them, inserted a piece of piano wire and glued them to get more usage from them after they break. Going to something stronger may just move the break to something more expensive.
Nice very sick truck love the hulk scheme so the washers were the pins are is that so they don't pop out I might do that with mine I haven't really bashed it but ya thumbs up ...
Ah man thanks so much , yeah thought that the DR David banner theme aka the Incredible Hulk fitted because of the green 💥
So the countersunk M3 washers yes they give a bigger surface for the pins to rest against and stop them coming out also . Working great so far . Nice cheap fix
Thanks for watching buddy
Stay awesome
Chris 🤙🫡🤘💪👊🤩🚀😎🚙🚛🚚🛻🚒🚑
🔥🤙🏻👍💯
Thanks man
Stay awesome
Chris :) 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🤘🤙👊
The Xmaxx is the King of Rc
Hell yeah 👍 awesome trucks 🛻
Hi Chris! anther great one :) How can I get in touch with you? I'd like to send you a few bits
Hey buddy , wow that would be awesome drop me a message on Facebook if you would like to .
Thanks so much in advance
Stay awesome
Chris 🤙🚀🤘🫡👊😎💪🤩
I'm looking at the xrt myself
Oh nice man there epic trucks 🛻 I personally prefer the xmaxx but the xrt is also top notch it all depends on what you want from them and the location your going to run them .
Which colour you wanting bud ?
@ChriswithaCrc I'm a big fan of the green color scheme Is the pokemon art on your friends yellow one airbrushed or how did they get the graphics in the inside of the body?
@ yeah the green colour scheme is epic !
As for the XRT yep it’s airbrushed by a friend of ours wrights RC airbrushing , he’s done an awesome job every single detail is airbrushed in .
Stay awesome buddy
Chris 👊🤙
Are you sure those batteries are 100C, I think I have the same ones and they are 140C
Hey buddy yes there DXF Gold series 6500 mah 100c Graphenes .
Awesome batteries 🔋
Thanks for watching bud
Chris 🤙💪🚀😎👊🤩🤘🫡
That XRT would go down that path just fine I’ve done so much worse .
Sure will buddy 100% just being careful with new car syndrome !
Why anyone buys traxxas is mind blowing. Its all garbage
Well thats your point of view buddy and many will disagree with you to be honest , the best RC is the one that puts the biggest smile on your face ! Surely thats the point of this hobby of ours .
Stay awesome
Chris :)
Where are RC's at tho? This is like an hour of nothing???
Thanks for watching 👀
Stay awesome
@ChriswithaCrc grip it and rip it
What are you talking about? "Where are the RC's at" 😂 Did you watch!?!?
did you say m-massive?!
Massive 🤙🚀
Your videos are cool, but you need to work on your breathing you breathe like if you’re fat you’re breathing super hard and not even doing anything
Well thanks for the comment on the video buddy I appreciate it , who’s to say I’m not a big guy lol 😂
As for my breathing I have issues with my breathing hence why I started this hobby to get out for fresh air and exercise my lungs 🫁
So yes I am trying to work on my breathing
Stay awesome
Chris 🤙🤩👊🚀🤘😎💪📞
