Spektrum batteries suck. Try a better brand with 6000mah or better. I run CNHL 6200mAh 120C cells it lasts almost 15-20min or so bashing around the track.
I think all off road Rc cars thrive on loose gravel/sand tracks like in this video. Great on transmissions, enough slip on tyres and everything just lasts longer. Soft sand, rocky ground, tar and things just keep breaking..
That place looks like so much fun!! What a great video. The car handles great even with the big air. Some minor tweaks and you'll have it dialed in just how you'd like. Granted this video is now a year old I bet its probably tuned already! Thanks for sharing
Hi, amazing video, after running on the sand dunes, what cleaning do you do? pressurized air, water, brush, lubricate everything at the end? Is the sand dangerous? any special advice? thanks

Even a 15t pinion with fans would be good for that setup on that type of hill terrain. Definitely aluminum front / rear braces are needed for the weight and those big air jumps. Wider tires also help absorb impact along with heavy duty DDM springs and thicker shock oil.
I really liked it with the quiet pipe on it. Those tuned pipes are so annoying to listen to that it takes away from the fun of driving/watching larger scale vehicles. You were losing a ton of speed at the base of those jumps as it dug in each time. Too bad as it really flew nice. Makes me miss my baja 5bSS...
I know right? The size of the space it's in makes all the difference. A big outdoor space like this and it looks like a 1/10 scale. It's no joke though. Huge and fun. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! I've got a lot more to post I've just been really busy but I hope to get to them soon. I've got like 25 more videos recorded. Thanks for watching!
It's been a while but if I recall correctly I was getting around 15-18 minutes on 2 4s 100c batteries. The sand definitely didn't help as it had to work a lot harder than it would on a more solid surface. Thanks for watching!
It's running a Hobbywing Max 5 ESC and Hobbywing 5687 1100kv motor. I've got another video that's a little more recent that goes into the build in detail. I have another one after that that I haven't finished editing, where I address some of the issues from the second video. Lots more to come, just need to find the time to edit! Thanks for watching.
Hard to say! Very different feeling vehicles. I'm going to assume that you have the space to run such a large RC if those are the ones you're considering. I will say the DBXL is a lot more planted, harder to roll over, and one of my favorites to just straight drive. The X-Maxx however is a lot lighter, like 8-10 pounds lighter if I recall correctly, and given the plastic construction I feel more confident in its durability. Parts for the X-Maxx are also a lot cheaper if you do break them since they're mostly plastic. The plastic flexes under impacts which makes them pretty impressively durable. The X-Maxx is a more out of control experience where you can roll or flip or wheelie and be on the edge of your seat, and bash like crazy and more than likely not have any major damage. The DBXL handles much better, more like a racer, is very controlled but also very fast and awesome. I love them both, but they're very different. I'd recommend going with the one that you think will be more likely to fit your style. Good luck and thanks for watching!
@@chestersrc7229 I have the DBXL-E 2.0 (fox edition) and an XRT, the DBXL-E 2.0 feels like a small version of a real desert buggy and the XRT feels like a scaled-up toy car. Also, the DBXL-E 2.0 has real 1/5 scale components while the XRT has more normal-sized components. If you really want to have a 1/5 scale RC, the Losi is the way to go. I also agree, it feels way more planted and stable than the XMaxx/XRT because the parts are way more stiff (but not as forgiving as the bending plastic parts from traxxas).
These are awesome, hopefully you'll love it. Thanks! I actually built it. I started out using CCxRC's tutorial on how he builds backflip ramps for his monster trucks, and then I modified it so the opposing side would have a 45 degree ramp. Lots of fun! Thanks for watching.
Completely user preference. Gas and nitro offer a visceral experience that electric can't match, but in my personal opinion and with my busy schedule, I prefer the simplicity of electric. Electric also give a lot more instant power and torque where as gas is more linear. Both are great, so it really comes down to your own preference. Good luck!
I like it! However I think it might be a little more built for speed and lowering the tooth count on the pinion gear might help with torque on backflips. That said I took it out again after this and it ran WAY better. I have video of it, I just need to finish the edit. Been really busy lately but I hope to get to it soon. Thanks for watching!
Not "full" power yet. You will notice increased power until the 5th or 6th tank. Ive got the same engine in my 5ive T and once its fully broken in it is quite powerful. After a while i installed a Bartalone Velocity stack, dome filter and a Victory silenced pipe and i can honestly say it is at least 50% faster than the second tank full. I'm not sure how the Velocity stack will work on the DBXL 2.0 but i do know you would obviously need to cut out the carb side of the body. When i get my 2.0 i want to install the v1 body on it and remove the wing. I liked the look of the V1 better. Not saying the V2 looks like crap because is doesnt, i just like the V1 looks better. I would want to add the Velocity stack too but im not quite sure how that would work with it as it sticks out quite far on the 5ive T (still within the cage though) but there isnt quite the same interior space on the DBXL.
Thanks! This is great information. I've installed a Bartolone pipe and it definitely improved things, sounds great too. I'm only 3 tanks in so far, looking forward to more. I did film a video testing the Bartolone pipe but I haven't gotten around to editing it yet unfortunately. I hope to have the time soon. Thanks for watching!
I had the same problem on my Lost LMT, only had front wheel drive on a monster truck. But when I flipped it up his roof the screw fell down, the screw slingshotted in the car itself so I got lucky.
Thank you so much! I love it there. I'm so lucky to have a great place like this to run my RCs. Becomes expensive pretty quick collecting the big ones but it's a ton of fun. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much! I have no idea how the X Maxx survives the things it does. It's on a whole other level. Thanks for the sub! Tons more content coming.
Oh no! I'm so sorry for your bank account 😂 Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed. They're truly do feel completely different, so if you enjoy both styles, I think it is worth it. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much! I appreciate it - lots more videos to come. I'm loving the DBXL - I already loved the E version so I was pretty confident. Handles really well and the gas sound and feel is totally different. I'll have another video up soon after I install the new tuned pipe. Pretty excited for how that will affect the performance. Thanks for watching!
@@chestersrc7229 nice yea I know I’m getting the same itch. I remember how much fun the nitros and gas were back in the day and now I want to get back into that again. Electric is fun but nothing beats a 2 stroke. Awesome I can’t wait to see how it handles after the new pipe.
Absolutely. I love nitro too but the fact that gas seemingly just runs with minimal or no tuning is very appealing and sort of bridges the gap between electric and induction for me. I love them all for different reasons. Appreciate the support - I'll definitely post updates once I get that pipe going, I'm really looking forward to it.
Ha - absolutely! Unfortunately it's the main place I run my rcs. It's brutal on them. But I have a bunch of rcs and can't take more than a few with me at once so that does help spread out the abuse over time. Thanks for watching!
Very nice spot man lots to learn on these 5th scales I wish I could bring my outlaw 40gt out there and rip with yall but I'm in south Wisconsin mainly flat terrain 😒
Thanks so much! I'm very lucky for sure. And yeah, absolutely, lots to learn. Lot of fun though too. Lots more to come. Next video with this DBXL will have either a DDM or Bartolone pipe. Probably Bartolone. Thanks for watching!
Thank you - I'm excited too! I originally bought a DDM Dominator, but it's technically made for the original DBXL and isn't a perfect fit in the 2.0, though it can work. Before installing it, Bartolone Racing released their new tuned pipe for the DBXL 2.0. So I bought that too. Trying to decide which to install (I can still return whatever I don't install). I'm leaning Bartolone. Do you have any experience with either? Thanks for watching!
Thanks @Chino! That's how I'm leaning. It looks like a really simple install. Hopefully will install it and run it within the next week or two and get a video put up shortly thereafter. Thanks for watching!
@@chestersrc7229 yea I had the Dominator on mine than I put a Bartalone pipe that was for my MTXL now I got the Bartalone end bleed that’s made just for the 2.0 I’ll be making more vids once I get time. Keep the vids coming I’ll be watching.
Ohh right on I've actually seen your videos I think! I got the mid bleed. I like a deeper engine sound typically so the description of the mid bleed sounded more up my alley. I'll keep an eye out for your videos too - not much out there on this new pipe yet!
Solid X-Maxx Bash video and some great driving!! Footage was epic!!! Love my X-maxx, nothing comes close to the durability this thing has out of the box. With the Max 6 it's another level. What gear ratio do you run? I run 20t pinion and 50t spur and it's a LOT faster. Traxxas released the New X-Maxx 8s with oversized inner bearings on the front and rear hubs so no more blown little inner bearings!!! Subbed.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words. I completely agree about the durability and the Max 6. I'm actually still running stock gearing. I'd like to be able to do back flips but I can only do them off my 45 degree ramp, not here in the sand pits. I hadn't heard about the oversized bearings, that's interesting. But yeah I couldn't believe some of the crashes this thing survived. Lots more videos to come - thanks for watching!
