Got mine today. Ran one battery through it. I love it. I got the demo truck with lights on it for $530. I wasn’t expecting it to have telemetry built in, but it does. I already had the link chip from my mini e-revo, so now I can control the lights, see speed, rpm, temp, and voltage right on my phone. I’m only running 3s, but it’s plenty for me. Wheelies for days, stoppie front flips, and tons of fun.
That's a good deal man. Yeah they have Telemetry built in. I do wish there were a few more physical buttons and dials on the controller to do the lights. Almost faster to pull the body off then go in the app and turn on bluetooth to mess with the lights :)
Love it !!! I just bought it a few weeks ago... I am now neglecting my Stampede 4X4 !! ha ha !! I take it to the huge church parking lot and can really have a blast with it -with a huge soccer field, gravel parking, black top, and now lots of wood chip piles !!! What a fun and STURDY vehicle. Gotta go easy on the throttle. The self righting is better also. I want to film mine in the worst way, so I ask, how are you doing that.. certainly not with a handheld device... I would appreciate if you could share !!! THANKS !!! Hey nice neighborhood !!! I have an acre, so I too can have fun at home !!!
Glad you are loving it! I use my phone to record a lot of these. There are clips made that can clamp to the controller and allow you to attach a phone holder.
There is a video on here somewhere that shows the toughness of this truck(on purpose)-> crashing, falling off bmx ramps, falling roof first etc... It's fast but tough as well(w/it's plastic parts)...👍🏿
That thing wheelies with such ease. I sold my Rustler 4x4 a bit ago just wasn’t for me. This mini Xmaxx monster looks like the next truck for me. I love my Xmaxx but sometimes it’s just too big to take out haha. I think I’ll go with the red body not sure but orange sure does look good on it! This is one truck I’d probally leave stock once I get it. Looks like it would be a good winter basher too. Hey can’t wait to see your Tenacity DB Pro run on 3s. I just ordered mine and they should be dropping it off at the door tomorrow can’t wait. I went with the Lucas body
All the videos I've seen of this bad boy seem to indicate it has good durability (but I haven't seen too many HIGH jumps) but I'm more concerned about the longevity of it ... Ok,it can take a couple packs on full throttle but what about 20 packs? Or 30 or 40? That's what I'm curious to see...
🐸 Good bashing Tony Maxx sure is a beast. Enjoyed watching you doing some tricks. Novel “Standing front flip”, almost a flip and a half on the concrete thanks for proving the concept. Hopefully no spoiler here but is a “Standing double backflip” coming soon? :)
Exactly bro. I can't see spending that kind of money for a all plastic 10th scale truck. If they had made it around a reasonable 400$ I'd get one. I'd rather get a 6s 1/8 for that type of money.
@@JUICY_TIME Lol that's what I'm thinking. I want to buy one but waiting and wondering when the hell they are gonna be available to buy! Its kinda crazy how long they take to release a truck after announcing it. I was gonna get the infraction but by the time it was finally available I lost interest lol.
How are you using a EC5 with an EC5 to Traxxas adapter? Or did you cut the cables and solder? I have EC5 batteries I wanna use on the Maxx but I'm afraid to use an adapter
Yeah I had one with the Traxxas Slash Ultimate Fox Edition. 4X4, VXL, TSM, OBA, TQI. These names with acronyms are getting longer and longer. 😂 one day the name of the vehicle will fill the entire description section on hobby store websites. I just double checked my information to make sure I wasn’t wrong because I haven’t got lights on my slash but the option is in the app. I just watched this video about the maxx light kit. ua-cam.com/video/7WP_CVBXojc/v-deo.html ✌🏻😎🏴
Get yourself the Traxxas phone mount for your TQi radio (traxxas part#6532) You can then use the traxxas link wireless module & free traxxas app to control your lights without taking your body off. If you want to go all out you can get the telemetry expander 2.0 with gps module (traxxas part#6553X) so you can monitor your speed voltage & temps. You won't regret it...
Is the Maxx more controllable than a 4s outcast ? Just got a 6s kraton now looking for a mt. The Maxx looks pretty good I know mt will flip over but less flipping would be good.
Man I love your videos I was actually thinking this was hyped up but I can see why it is! Seems to be a lot more fun than my Kratons?! Dammit cause of your awesome video I might be out $529 soon !!🤣🤣💴💴 Would of been better if it came with the lights included
Mike Guitar Player thanks Mike. I’m trying to find a Kraton 4s to test it against. Unfortunately while running this the other day, A guy watching asked what RC he should get. I told him a Granite 3s, then showed him mine. He asked to buy it from me right then and there. I was caught off-guard and said yes. Now having sellers remorse 😭 and can’t show it in comparison. Need to step up to a 4s kraton for comparison I guess.
I have a question my Maxx hasn’t done a single wheelie or reached 50mph yet and I have the traxxas 5000 mah 4s battery and yes it’s in sport mode or the first mode NOT training mode can anyone help out it’s my 2nd day with it
In all honesty do you think its worth 550$ ??? Knowing you can buy a Arrma Typhon 6s or Kraton 6s or Losi 3xle 6s for 499$?....i want one as well but ill wait until the hype dies down & pick a used one up👍
RC rookie things are only worth what people will pay for them. Based on the amount of stock I’m seeing in Hobby shop photos on Instagram....they believe they will sell a lot of them.
Either you have huge hands or this is a 12th scale truck.... it looks smaller than my E-Maxx. Maybe thats why it boasts 60mph ...small truck ..big motor/battery
It pretty much drives & handles like my Tenacity MT before I upgraded the motor & put the sway bars on it. I wouldn't mind trying out the tires but my Tenacity has a 3674 2650kv motor in it & will instantly deglue ANY tire I put on 4s if I get trigger happy. Needless to say, it has way more power than this thing. I also put that same system in one of these & it was damn near uncontrollable. It's definitely geared for the slower smaller motor. I finally took out the stock truck at my LHS & I still prefer the HW system. Even though it has too much power for the way it's geared, it was much more responsive than the Traxxas system. Sometimes it felt like it was a giant slab of iron between me & the truck.
Ccxrc I know you owner traxxas and arrma rc trucky, can you look at my newest video and give some idea on which trucky will fit me the best, arrma outcast 6s or kraton 6s?
"Side-bite" caused flips? I have a Rustler 4X4 VXL. With its Low-CG chassis on 3S batteries on hard-baked, low traction desert ground, "side-bite" can still often upset the car when doing 300 to 400 scale MPH. Traxxas has taken the benign RC racer and made guided missiles out of them. If that ain't American then I don't know what is.
This video shows how I think most people feel about the truck. "What?!? 529.99 what a rip off. What?!? Plastic!! It's obviously trash." Then they run it...... Traxxas is the number 1 RC car maker in the industry for a reason.
@@RichardMatonti personally because I would have to get new a new charger and batteries. And I don't think I'll drive this car around and be bored... I'm eventually gonna invest in Arrma. The Infraction will be my first Arrma.
You wont need to switch battery chargers their are adapters available for the traxxas plugs so it adds a balance cord and everything and yes the infraction is awesome I've been trying to get my hands on one sense August I have one paid for the ships the 27th might switch over to 8s
That's your opinion, i hated my 6s talion I had to buy upgraded 5mm shock towers, aluminum chassis braces to stop bending chassis and towers, sold it for a tekno mt410, show me one video where there bashing on UA-cam with the stock aluminum parts with out bending.. Seriously arrma are decent but they need a lot of money to be dependable, look at all popular UA-cam's bashing arrmas all there rigs are upgraded
hey dont worry about it! thats what the roof skid plate is for! the body doesnt have to get replaced as often. I love the roof skid plate on my e revo, back when i had my emaxx there were holes in my roof
@@chevycamaro-rp6tr True. The first time I ran my E-Revo on the street i got a bit cocky with the power and it took a long skid on it's roof. The roof armor saved the body completely. It's those moments watching your expensive RC go down the street wheels up that makes time slow down "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" lol

So jealous , awesome buy.. Get some videos up
Simba Nugz I’ll see what I can do, I’m definitely not a pro you tuber, but I should be able to get a few passes and post it.
@@simbanugz2906 I put a vid up, its called Traxxas Maxx quick run if you want to find it.
you pretty much nailed it when you hit the speed it goes crazy what good is a truck you can't control
Standing front flip was a good one! Can tell you had alot of fun with that truck
Wow! I got mine today. This thing is awesome. Great Video, very well made. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome. Gonna get the green one whenever then come back in stock. 👍
I absolutely love the MAXX it’s just right
Beautiful home. Just bought a MAXX. Little worried about the amount of power and it being back heavy but I look forward to getting it. Great video
He keeps popin tops ! Lol! She's a beast and keeps taking a beating! Awesome run brother! 👍👍😎👽
Infinite wheelie! This things so KEWL!
Set up a wheelie shootout with the Armma Outcast 4S. 😏
Yes cause I think the outcast is pretty equal with wheelie power and wheelie control maybe im think probably better!
Love it !!! I just bought it a few weeks ago... I am now neglecting my Stampede 4X4 !! ha ha !!

Man that’s a great looking maxx I can’t wait for mine cool video
Pretty rad haven’t heard that in a long time. Thing is a 12 o’clock king. For it to have enough power to front flip is insane great video
Nice wheelies
I got the green wone
With green widemaxx and steel axl
Doesnt roll over so mudge
Great video
Great video, really cant wait to get mine, I want it now 👍🏻👍🏻
rcworxshop me too mine comes friday
Great rip Tony. The Maxx has some serious power💪
I definitely want one now sick man
Straight sick! Keep'em coming man! I've watched every single one. This rig looks good for what it's worth! 👍😊
Gotta love it great video series on the Maxx... brother 👍

Love the maxx vids!👌🏻👍🏼
im a traxxas fan boy . loved my slash 4x4 but now have xmaxx :}
Chris Ricotta I’m an RC fanboy. 😂 I’m ok with any brand of the RC is good.
You can use the lights through the app

It is a Wheelie King, well done
Arrma outcast is a wheelie king this is just an arrma granite with big wheels
Great video I get mine next Thursday
You can cycle through the light modes using the Traxxas Link app. Pretty neat.

I want one so bad! Thinking about getting the blue one with traxxas 4s battery
What size battery do you use ?
Nice wheelies love it 👍🏻
i guess your neighbors are used to RC's in their yard by now huh lol
RC VOODOO we are country folk. They drive through the grass an use my driveway to leave. I also help mow their lawn from time to time for them.
Great vid ❤️
Sweet wheelies👍👍 love it😁 but too much dough🥴

I’m glad you are liking it. Soon I will have infinity wheelie power also. Mwaaaaa ha ha.
What battery are you using.
I’m using a Venom 50C 4s 5000mah battery.
Wheelies all day long, Cool.

If you get the Bluetooth link you can control the lights remotely. I have it
I mean wow! Infinity wheelie™ and standing front flips. Now try to tell me it's not worth the price, I dare you ;)
Is this right out the box with stock gearing??!!
miltate yes. The only thing I ever changed was the battery straps and eventually added the wide kit.

Either you have huge hands or this is a 12th scale truck.... it looks smaller than my E-Maxx.
Maybe thats why it boasts 60mph ...small truck ..big motor/battery
They're not that much bigger than a Stampede. A T/E Maxx are considerably larger.
Hey i have one question. Why make the traxxas maxx a weelie when he is a 4 wd car. ? Is this to much Power? What is the reason ?")
Because it’s fun. They’re are monster trucks and most people want to do stunts with them.
@@CCxRC yes i understand that but i thought when you have 2 wd a car make a weelie but a 4wd i thought you have always Kontakt to the street
