TRAXXAS Xmaxx & XRT Must Have Upgrade For Bashers & should be factory part already? 

That's a great Up-grade for the motor E..... I had a similar issue with my XMaxx as to the noise coming outta it under throttle.... So went to HR gearing and it runs twice as quiet as the stock gearing...... The RC runs great and basically you almost hear nothing but the motor humming along more than anything..... as always E......Thanks for the wrenching Demo..... I for one have benefited from your efforts......

Earl as always excellent videos. I've tried those aluminium washers from Traxxas, be easy on how much your torque them down they bend and bow real easy, if those don't work for you try the hot racing ones they are made of stainless steel and you can torque them down a bit more.

Roll the shafts on a sheet of glass. Drill chucks have tons of runout.

Good Morning Earl, the front right tire doesn't look right , maybe the glue came off...on the Xmaxx

Thanks for the info 👍 I didn't know they had those aluminum washers . The rain is drowning us here in Globe Arizona also .

i agree must go through your RC’s nut, bolts just like you told me i got a exb with every part that goes into metal with no lock tight. thank you for your new and past advise

I think I need me some washers👍💯

Always fun to watch the process

thats cool earl what you do for a living!! i live way over here in alabama.. pipeline work is my line of work

Motor mount washers are definitely a must have..That baby needs a bath🤣

The Xmaxx is just a fun Rc 👍👍👊🏻👊🏻🇺🇸these are a must have for this truck 👍👍

forget about that Traxxas spur gear and that plastic driver Crusch Drife, buy the neat Mod 1.5 gears !

All riiiggghhht! Love it brother...

How you doing Earl I heard about Ken Block from RC car garage that is a sad thing man you wonder greatest afro races I ever seen and I'm sorry that he's gone and looking at your video today man really bring special meaning to me man because it brings back and make me feel good to know that you out here still doing videos thank you Earl 😢💯🙏and I appreciate what you do

Yes those washers are very rigid and I’ve found that aftermarket gears sometimes have tighter mesh and noisy… got rid of pins and mesh it myself… a lot quieter but found that setting mesh while rolling wheels to find tight spots and adjust as needed… crazy but I believe gears are sometimes never perfectly round 🤬🤬🤬

Great video Earl my x maxx did the same exact thing to where I can't get the mess right using the pin system so I just removed the pins and mashed it myself and that's the only way I was able to get a good mesh with the gears and I'm using Traxxas 50t spur gear

Hope that rain eases up for you guy's in CAL Earl, Cheers Budd 🙂

Sucks that changing the shaft didn't get rid of the noise. Seems like the only other options are that gear, or the motor shaft. You'll get it sorted out sooner or later.

I might be puting this in my Xmaxx in future myself

Check out the WFO gear setups and debore shaft for the X-Maxx. It replaces the cush drive. I know you like the Kush drive because it gives... Kush... Lol But WFO is extreme quality.. yeah it's terrible when that pesky thing called. Your job keeps calling you.. hahaha

Maybe mod up those gears , 1.5 , gives it a whole new bigger shaft and the gears are indestructible, great info , thanks !

I have the motor washers on my x maxx and xrt worth having those to stop screws pulling through ❤

I used a Arrma pinion gear and Hot Racing spur gear ..never have any problem ..ground down the stock motor shaft to fit the Arrma D shaped pinion gear..works great

Might want to try replacing the cush drive housing. I'm having a similar problem with wobbling spur gear. I think its because my cush drive housing has a lot of play / wobble on the drive shaft. Looks like the the center of the housing got rounded out or deformed where the shaft goes through it. I'm waiting on a replacement cush housing to confirm. I also tried replacing the drive shaft, spur gears, bearings and cush drive itself but spur still wobbling.

Let's go!!!!!

I put those washers on my Xmaxx and XRT Definitely ads a major improvement on securing the motor it’s more solid for sure. The fact they don’t put any washer at all from factory is ridiculous

Top 5!!!

Easy to remove the anodizing from aluminum with ez-off oven cleaner. No need to wait for a color unless its a show piece of some sort, honestly I'd kind of like to have a super mixed up bunch of colors and make the ocd people freak out a little :)

HI earl great video. Just ordered those screws for my New XRT. What was the Mod that you did for the front and back bulk heads from cracking? that metal part that you add to help keep the upper bulk heads from cracking? Thanks man

😎💯💯💯

Boom 🎉🎉🎉

Hey Earl! I was wondering if you run any lube on the gears? I've been using some graphite powder on my gears and pinions they seem to run in nice!🤔👍

Wouldn't it be that the Traxxas spur gear is only held on to one side of the spur gear. Where as the VITAVON CNC 45# HD 1.5Mod. it has the shaft holding it on both side of the spur gear. It should be true that way. Just my thoughts.

Filming a pool scene? What kind of job do you have?? lol... Do you still use the pins in the motor mount? When I put the Castle 2200KV system in my Maxx I used an aftermarket pinion and spur but it is stock gearing. The mesh was absolutely horrible! Since then I removed the pins and adjusted mesh like normal. No more issues!

ment the shaft not shave lol

Better Reglue tire

What do you do in the film industry??

Shaft or bearings on the motor?

Thats your drill. The whole chuck wobbles on your drill. Every cordless drill that ive ever seen does.

👍

Real men only spit On gears before they install them no grease needed

EARL… do you think maybe the driveshaft may be bent even more than it was,,,,I would check it if it were me..just sayin’🇺🇸🚘👈…..DRIVE SHAFT not AXLES
