Xmaxx unboxing and comparison 

I’m loving 🥰 the traxxas Xmax

14:00 you should be able to change everything using the blinking LED system and MENU and SET buttons as you can with the BT link system on mobile phone, if I understand correctly. I have 8 Traxxas vehicles with the TQi radio and recently put the link into one of them for my 2021 Bronco video series. The interface is WAY easier obviously, and Traxxas doesn't make it easy to find the doco for the LED-based programming sheets online, but you should be able to adjust punch, braking rate and strength, etc etc using the LEDs. I've just unpacked my new Xmaxx today and will have to have a play with the radio before I swap it to the BT linked handset - want to make sure I'm not just telling stories here. But I've been using the TQi radios since 2013 or so and as much as I don't like the button and LED interface, it does get the job done. Deep, deep patience is sometimes needed, but it does work! Thanks for the video and the info here :)

I saw this and you're Slash 4x4 ultimate videos since they both are some of my favorite rc cars and i subscribed. Love your videos and i used to have a rock n roll X-Maxx and i plan to get another one someday or another color i'm currently thinking about getting a Sledge or a Slash 4x4 Ultimate.

Can't wait to see the upcoming videos I have an x-max that's completely stock it's still pretty much brand new and I know there's some issues but what a great truck.

I have just been replacing and upgrading as breakages and failures accure. So far all A arms, hubs, hub carriers, shock towers and tires and wheels twice and drive shaft twice and bumpers front and back 3 times so far. The steering servo and esc failed so I replaced those with a max 6 and the traxxas servo upgrade. I bought it in winter so it broke a lot.... I added the m2c chassis brace and drive shaft support. Now it just seems to break hubs, hub carriers and bumpers. It survived a 100 foot cliff drop to flat without breakage recently too so I am pretty happy with it lately. Stoked on the X-Maxx!

Thanks for sharing 👍

I fit 6700 traxx batteries fits perfectly

My electronics are stock but ive geared it to 19t pinion and 50t spur and the captured hinge pins also done the m2c shock oring piston upgrade and the wider m2c chassis brace and its now a beast💪

Great information! This is perfect for fun driving and your driving style! Awesome! Unfortunately mine is built for explosive short run up full throttle full brake stunts. Mine is built like a bullet proof tank. But I’m very hard on my rc’s. Everyone has a different driving style. Your upgrades are on point for fun durable driving! Great video as usual!!!! 💯👍👏

I have the rock n roll Xmaxx and I love it ! I put the Vitavon hubs and knuckles and belted six pack x,s and its a beast

I'm surprised you haven't upgraded the servo, everyone else seems to recommend that upgrade. I'm sunning stock everything right now, with the exception of an arm that broke. I replaced it with Traxxas HD instead of RPM, we'll see how that goes. Thank you for your videos, always very informative!

Did you check the front and rear hubs? I have the solar flare version and it was upgraded out of the box with the heavy duty hubs and large bearings all around

Consider taking on the challenge of installing a 5th scale servo and doing a tutorial on it. It would be (to my knowledge) the first high quality tutorial on RU-vid

so now i have questions about the tires. so i bought a used x maxx thats damaged on ebay. it need two new tires for the left side along with diffs and spur and pinion gears and servos savor. so this x maxx is just like the blue one. what firmness is on this truck and what the part number because i want to same firmness in all four corners.

rock n roll

AJ!!!! I miss you Brother! So sorry! I love your videos, I’ve been so busy. I’m sneaking to watch this at work. You are a rc RU-vid staple and hate I missed some of your videos. I will catch up. Your Awesome! Epic content every video!!! I will watch the video and comment on it. 🙏👏👊👍💯 RCFAM4LIFE!!!

AJ, try out the 9000mA 100c Zee batteries. They fit perfect, and they're run time is like 54 minutes. You'll love the run time they produce.

Im using zee power 6000mah 100c batteries in my xmaxx and they fit really well, ive put a 5mm thick rubber under the battery's tho just to get more of a tighter fit but the length of them are spot on. I took her out the other day and had about 30 mins run time💪

I been hearing some guys say that they got a new Xmaxx and it came with the upgraded rear hubs with the bigger bearings front and rear. The part numbers are back 7752X and front 7737X. I got a new one 2 months ago and mine had the regular one with the regular bearings. I was wondering if this one had them on it ?

Great video, you mentioned a limit of 6000 MA battery packs. I thought I would let you know the Lectron pro 7600 part 4s7600-75x fits with no mods. I've been running them for about a year and half now. I had one stop working after 3 Months but they replaced it quickly.

Love your content. But l never had a problem with arms. Hit a telephone doing 45mph rite on left A arm broke all kinds of stuff shifted motor. Bent the drieshaft so bad the truck buckled and was locked up solid. Sheared the tower to tower brace. Actually tore a brand new rim and tire.arms were fine lol

That's like saying the green one cost more since it's green an cause it's the color of money nice ride but I still love my k8

I was thinking to get an xmaxx for myself to hopefully it will be better than my Arrma kraton 8s

The front and rear hubs are different on the new. Uses the newer ones that have larger inner bearings like the rpm hubs. Great video!

Rpm fitment will always be an issue. I have the arms on my outcast 8s and Talion EXB and the hub carriers on my Xmaxx and used the HD arms and never broke them I’ve broken countless bulkheads, bellcranks and a chassis. My buddy has the rpm arms and the locking hinge pins and he doesn’t jump as crazy as me and guess what? He’s breaking everything that I’m breaking still and he’s actually broken more chassis and bulkheads than me. I recently switched to the wide kit and those arms are HD. I slowed the video down of a big crash that should have killed my Xmaxx. The rear wheel touched the back bumper! Nothing broke and I don’t get it 🤯

What is the car above the kraton

No need for new hubs, they come with updated hubs now with larger inner bearings

Love your stuff. But that non stop Video game music in the background is crazy

It's normally a joke people go on about saying a red or Green xmax is faster than the other they're not serious when they say it 😆 for me the red xmaxx is faster than the rest 😆😆😆

8s shredded old weak side wall tires

Nothing has changed at all its the same truck. The only reason those tires feel a bit different is because they are new. They are exactly the same

The blue one is definitely faster. 😂🤣😂🤣 just kidding.

Send me a message. I will mail you a hobbywing Max5 Mount. I’ll 3-D print it for you and get it out to you that way once you are ready to put that Max5 in it’ll be very easy.

And now your warranty is no good

Traxxas batteries with Traxxas cars aftermarket battery suck

Next time do us all a favor and don't address the stupid questions it wastes too much time

By far the most boring xmaxx review on RU-vid
