    Great review , I can relate to going to the freezer in my laundry room and end up staring at my R/C collection, it’s part of the reason we get into this hobby

    I'll stick with my stock x-maxx, it already weighs enough. I'll upgrade it as parts break, if they do, time will tell. I can't believe it still doesn't have the roof skid.

    Ultimate is totally worth it if you were going to do most of those upgrades anyway. I've had my Christmas Outcast 8S on the bench for weeks as I'm slowly getting all my aluminum aftermarket parts on it. I could just do a marathon build session and be done with it, but I have enjoyed having the machine on the workbench just to look at as eye candy. Knowing full well that it will look like a masterpiece when done, suitable as a shelf queen, but instead get taken out Beat-Your-Truck style. It will only look this good once so I'm enjoying that through this slow build process. I've got other trucks to run and other hobbies and passions to attend to at the same time. It is a shame that the RTR electronics on the XMAXX isn't a keeper, particularly something as significant as the ESC. I mean, yeah I'm used to replacing servos, but it would kill me if replacing the power system was effectively mandatory for a reasonable level of performance.

    Fantastic video, you touched on so many great points 💯 I built a Xmaxx & XRT back in October 23 till Early December 23...The parts are quality no doubt, you like parts for looks as much as i do, so install the stainless screw kit from Traxxas 7889X, they look amazing and actually do have purpose and function...I did buy a green Xmaxx Ultimate as soon as it was released, i have blue, red and green parts, each on there own truck, the red are my favorite.. Traxxas does build quality trucks and parts, The factory support is also amazing if its needed...I could go on for hours you posted an awesome video!!! great work 💯

    I have a sledge(stock esc) and i noticed right away that it accelerated way faster than the xrt. I did get the ultimate because like you i compared the cost of parts it came with. If i got a max6 where do you get the proper connectors to use traxxas 4s batteries?

    Arrma got it right with the EXB rollers.
    These new X Maxx trucks are just clean and unscatched aluminum anodizing. At least when women buy jewelry it doesn't get scratched and look like crap a few weeks later lol.
    I like my X Maxx I just don't fall for the whole "new squeaky clean rc look/smell" phenomenon that has been separating consumers from their wallets for decades. I keep my cars clean and actually have a separate display body for most of them, that way I can Simple Green/WD40 the plastics and don't have to look at 1k+ of my money with a destroyed piece of plastic cloaking it all as a "body."

      Are you looking for a buggy specifically? Budget? I love my granite for those days i don't want to pull out my outcast 8s. But i'm more of a jump and flips basher if that's the way you roll.
      If not, i think the big rock 3s is a good all-arounder. Plus, it does pretty well on 4s once you upgrade the diffs.

    Everyone always says the escs are bad and can never give a reason. And every time im out with someone with an after market esc my stock traxxas one always performs exactly the same lol.

    Some R/C's are obviously good value for money and don't need any justification. I don't blame anyone for wanting the best version of something, but there's a reason every conversation about this truck turns into a math equation.

    Canadian prices are funny, so after converting currency $2100 is $1560usd that’s the same here, roughly. Still an overpriced roller. Buddy got one and isn’t impressed. Insane, to spend that much and have it be the start of the build. For what you get and what you end up with, it would be nice to see a heads up running comparison when you’re done to see if the extra money was worth it.

    No heavy duty arms on the ultimate. Traxxas adds a bunch of extra weight and don't add the one OEM part that would make the vehicle better at handling the weight. That and no roof skid plate. Once I saw that I knew it was a joke. Both of those should come stock on all xmaxx's. They also just came out with a brand new servo for the xmaxx, so now the normal xmaxx is 2 servos removed from their best product, and the ultimate's servo was made obsolete just after going on sale. Traxxas doesn't have an inkling of respect for their customers lol.
