I haven’t done this with the v2 Maxx but Metal drive shafts should be stronger than the plastic ones. It helped with my dad’s v1 Maxx. My dad kept breaking the plastic ones and the metal one were better
What's up with all the random humps that make no sense? And the large jump on the backside doesn't have a smooth enough run up to it to make it to the next down slope of the other..
My brother wants to get a Maxx, so I watched this video to see how it would handle the Sledge tires in the event he wanted to get bigger ones. After seeing this video, I think I’ve come to the same conclusion as you that it’s not a good idea. There are some things you can do to help mitigate the issues you ran into: Definitely get stronger driveshafts. Either the overly expensive steel ones or the steel and plastic hybrid ones from the Maxx Slash would do. Also, when putting bigger tires on a car, you need to down-gear it accordingly. The general rule of thumb is to downgrade one tooth on the pinion per every inch you add to the tire diameter, but since the Sledge’s tires are quite heavier than stock and expand a lot at high RPMs, a gear reduction of 2-3 teeth is probably what you would need to do so that your electronics aren’t getting too hot.
