I have an XRT, and everyone says the XMaxx and the XRT are super easy to work on compared to an Arrma, after watching this video, that couldn’t be anymore false, this platform is 10x harder to work on than just about EVERY other 1/8th or 1/5th sized platform, what an ORDEAL to get to anything! Wowowowow.
Great video 👍 I was amazed at how much the sand gets into places so fast ! But now we know complete teardownds are needed about every 5-7 battery packs if running in sand .
WoW, that part was way jam packed right in under all that plastic it great how you leave the screws in the part and holes for easier re-assembly later just another easier way of disassembling and then the video is also a great fail safe in case you need that but watching this makes it so much less stressful for anyone who wants to do the same - thanks for these awesome videos Earl M 🙂
wow thats alot of hardware to get to your top part of your bulk head on this XRT ..kinda alot like my Xmaxx ..good luck getting all them screws back in there right spots Bud ..you sure know your RC trucks Earl 👍..great job
@@earlmoorhead5555 yea that sure makes it very nice ..when you can go back to your video to get all back together right way ..I do same on my work bench when I have to clean differentials and fix parts to
Absolutely miss California. Absolutely do not miss that fine dust working it's way into every nook and cranny of my rc's. I like to wrench on my rc's but that dust made me wrench on em way more often.
Damn that’s ridiculous how much has to come apart if I ever have to replace mine either on the XRT or XMAXX I’ll be putting the vitavon aluminum bulk head in , they’re definitely expensive but if I’m going through all that I’m not putting a weak part back in it
Good catch on that broken piece buddy. I am always amazed how fast you get the cars repaired after they break. I put probably 8 hours into bearings , arms, cvd’s, diff cases, hinge pins, pin blocks and a new esc with the hard wired voltage regulator on the sledge over the past couple days. My back is seriously sore from fixing/refreshing my rc 😂 you’re a fantastic mechanic and I always try to do it the Earl way same as you. Keep it up buddy!
Hey Earl! Great video of the teardown of the XRT front end all the way down to replace that part and it let us and you what's going on with the New rig I know I appreciate it I'm looking to order up one of these rigs!😉👋📹💯✔️👋👋👋👋
Putting that thing through the ringer earl , that where I'm at with the Maxx. It's alot work cleaning repairing after mud rain sand bashes , eventually every single part needs attention. I just got the 1650kv myself , I'm not sure what I'm going put in probably the Mojave..*
Hey Earl what's the model number for those hot racing wheel nuts. I blew out the stock tires then I blew out the XMAXX tires I wanna get some badlands but they don't fit flush.
It would be really sweet if somone would make high quality bulk heads for the XRT !!!! I don’t want to add any weight to my the XRT . Does anyone make high-quality bulkheads out of plastic composite?
Gee that's a lot of striping to get at that one bit that's probably going to break all the time. Some amount of screws. Can you imagine doing that job without a power drill. Wow.... Not for me I'm afraid. That takes the fun out of it for me. But brilliant that you do the vids Earl so when we get lost there's you. 👌🤣😂. Nice vid as usual bro thanks Earl... Oh and definitely agree there's amazing fun in the water and dirt .... Not good for bearings as I learned last weekend with my EXB Mojave.😕
so i just replaced the upper and lower front , and im kinda scared i didnt put the right length screws back in the right spots im pretty new to these rc cars
What brand of paddle tire is that? I like the extra ribbing they have to support the blade. Would like to get a set here in Pennsylvania snow will be coming very soon
That's some serious surgery for a damn cracked piece of plastic that may or may not affect how the RC performs. I could see why some dudes don't bother to replace them if they even notice they are broken.
Its not the motor size, the XMaxx has the same sized motor and it does double and triple backflips, the sledge hammer tires, or tires that balloon are the ones that allow for backflips, the XRT tires don’t stretch are much to make it spin.
Great video I really do think you're better off replacing broken parts as they break instead of letting them go and possibly breaking something else and ending your day👊👍
All that wrenching just to get to one piece? You'd be mistaken for thinking you're working on a science project. I know most RCs are difficult to work on when you're just getting familiar with them. But, damn, Traxxas, really?
