Proline makes a standard style body post kit for the maxx with the thumb screw caps. It’s a solid upgrade and lets you run whatever body you want, then you don’t have to worry about the body popping off anymore.
Traxxas SLASH any days Sun since 2012 still runs great mine's of the rare Mark Jenkins special with the electrical system that tracks this doesn't make any more the45+ mph TSM
Come on Slash rocks , hes a all around stud .Truth is they are both excellent additions to your RC collection , picking one over the other is like trying to decide which of your children you love more . Joe what i do know is , its not a ''Boot" , its called a "Trunk". lol
I have a ultimate I converted to a MONSTER slash. Pretty much changed everything. No longer a "stock" truck. Shocks, tires,wheels, a arms,bumpers,esc,motor,body, screws,axles, radio,.
I have the updated Maxx and a 2WD VXL Slash. They are both a lot of fun. The Slash is faster, the Maxx is more stable and much better on rough terrain. The Maxx is better in my opinion, but you can't go wrong with either truck. Great comparison video!
Probably the Slash Ultimate’s gonna be my next RC. Big fan of SCTs. For monster trucks, the 3S Arrma Granite BLX is hard to beat in my book. Great video. 😊
I got the brushed granite off a friend for 50$ and god... that thing is literally indestructible 🤣 I also have a slash but the e revo 2.0 is by far my favorite rc ATM. Everyone says they’re unreliable but the only thing I’ve broken in over a year is tires doing a double backflips 🤷🏼♂️
I used to have a Slash that I upgraded A LOT and one thing that frustrated the hell out of me was those wheel hexes. They’re just completely inappropriate for the amount of torque going through them. They need to update them to a star pattern or something because they strip way too easily. The number of times I had to throw out wheels that were still in great condition but had stripped out… SMH. That’s one of the reasons I ended up selling that car. I just felt like it was designed to fail so that you have to spend money on parts. I don’t mind buying new wheels when they wear out but I don’t want to have to constantly buy new parts just because of poor design.
U said u broke a few things on the Maxx. What did broke? Mine just won’t broke. I said 50 times, ok… now it’s Game over… then u look, and realize… nothing broke again.
Had an Invictus 10mt as my first RC and loved it to bits. Then came my slash platinum and ohhh boy was that an experience. The power was insane the driving performance was always there and no mater where I was driving, I always had a blast with it
Could you list the music you use in your vids? 🎵🤷♂️ Edit: Loving Caliber - Water Slide This music is used in the upcoming aerial combat game "Tiny Combat Arena."
Both are over priced. 10th scale should really be closer to 300 400 max. It's no better than it's competitors. Good but not better. And definitely not 250 dollars better.
My first-ever RC car I ever had was a mark Jenkins special Traxxas Slash #25 2012 model the only one I didn't buy off the website bought it at Pep Boys brand new and about to do its 10th anniversary jump
Platinum Slash....all the upgrades are already on it....no need to buy a widemaxx kit.....lights.....wheels and tires are cheaper.....runs on either 2s or 3s.....
Only thing I had to do to my Traxxas/was the steering box gears went out so I fix those been through about 20 engines had to rebuild a transmission one-time cuz my bearings wind up going completely out and about to have to fix my shots been through four sets of tires jumping over my three-story house twice without breaking it and the original body I'm about to get it redone
My 6yr old wants to know if you ever did launch the Lasernut off the BIG black ramp in Hong Kong. I thought you mentioned in a previous video that you had or were going to, but then we never saw it. And, if you would give a shout out to Finn, it would blow his mind! We watch all your videos, but first time posting a message. We have 2 Wltoys 124019 (1 is upgraded to brushless), and 1 lasernut.
Lol...actually neither. For a better price I got an associated pro4 Sc10 ^_^ its a monster and only costs 330 AND far more competitive than the slash ultimate. Remember, TSM isn't allowed in racing, so you want a vehicle that can drive well without it. If you want a monster truck theres the rival MT for the same 330, both RTR and from that racing lineage that associated can brag about. (They use the same chassis, so you can convert back and forth if you want) I cant figure out why you'd want a slash or the maxx honestly, even buying a battery or two separate youre over 100 cheaper with an associated vehicle.
I have got a traxxas slash 4x4 for over 2 years now. I have had a lot of fun with it but now I am selling it and buying a traxxas maxx. I started on a rustler like 5 years ago but I got to the slash because it is 4x4. I raced a lot with my dad who has got a slash as well and for racing this is the car. what we missed is jumping, we know the slash can do it as well but your car will get damaged. if you want a slash and have the money, you should buy the ultimate because I don't and broke over 5 wishbones and on the ultimate it won't break as quick as the normal version.
Amber you are absolutely beautiful sweetheart with a wonderful attitude & to see you with hubby out there having a great time and I say that with love and respect no disrespect at all and to be honest both of those are badass totally badass I watched this yesterday and forgot to leave a comment so I'm watching it again today nothing wrong with that lol you guys always have a great time and I love to see that you guys have a good one and we will see you soon for sure 💯💪🏼💪🏼💚👍🏼👍🏼♥️🤙🏼🤙🏼
I have a slash 4x4 vxl (not the ultimate) and a maxx. I really like the slash, its stock with the 18t pinion, a set of tyres and cooling fans. My maxx.... well, its geared up, 6s powered, all the suspension crap, gears, belted tyres on beadlock wheels, all the sensors and bluetooths. On gps it it gears out at 145kmh. I run an upgraded 35mm ally fan on the esc on that and dual 45mm ally fans on the motor and the thing never gets hot. Yeah the maxx is a lot faster, but the slash is more fun even though its stock. They're very different trucks in the way they handle. So its apples and oranges. The maxx, when asked can i jump that, answer is yes. The slash, its stock so is a lot slower, but it does those things called corners heaps better.
there are reasons i have a wide variety of r/c's 2wd and 4wd stampedes 2wd and 4wd ultimate slash, maxx v2, trx4 bronco, m41 plus some axial tamiya and acouple others i don't remember the brand of they are all fun and work great overall. but something i will say on the slash ultimate if using in sand the vxl even with esc and motor fans trying different gears it just needs a 1/8th scale esc and motor.
the right car for you is the car you enjoy driving the most. One can argue if you have the right car for your local bash spot, but if you dont enjoy driving the car its not the right one for you.
I have both love both!! But l have blown my second esc on maxx. Replaced with stock first time. Joe do you have a esc recomdation for a aftermarket esc for Maxx? Thanks guys piece out ✌✌✌✌👊👊😎
Guys I was looking at taxxas stuff for the first time today. I thought it had to used with traxxas batteries and their special connections. I see you used an ec5 and a IC5 there. Did you wire in some different leads? Thanks
I love my sledgehammer tires on maxx. As soon as l got the Hoss. I ordered the 3.8 for the maxx. On my second set now love them.l think l may have recommended them to yous in your first maxx vid. Check it out.!!👍👍
awesome video i have the brushless slash and the maxx have the orange body and flare body i like my maxx little more and i upgrade my slash i have metal shock and 80w shock oil and i took the rustler 4x4 brushless tires and put on my slash and looks awesome and have three bodys for the slash snap-on tools body and red and white and the blue and white thinking about getting the pink and white and black thanks for video
There was a time i was going to get the Slash, but the UDR was released about the same time i was going to get it. Got the UDR instead. Never had an interest in the Maxx or even the X-Maxx and still dont.
Just got the quantum Mt Flux 3s which is awesome but you have to upgrade the controller, also bought the 2 wheel drive slash for my nephew and that thing is so much fun
I have both, the maxx is a better truck but it's also alot more expensive, as it sits, theirs is about 800. So they aren't really in the same price range. Love them both though, sometimes the slash is just so satisfying to drive.
Have had my slash 4x4 on 3s lipo for almost 10 years now they are such tanks I've barely broken anything but about to get a maxx especially now that they came out with the v2 which comes with the widemaxx kit already and is a little longer
