Yeah I think thats fast enough for an off road truck, I don’t really run my trucks on road unless I’m doing a speed run for a comparison, I don’t change the gearing either for that same reason, I think you will really be able to see the difference in performance between the two when I release the off-road comparison video of these two trucks, I had to break up the video into two parts, it was just too long lol, not sure people wanna watch a 30 minute video lol, stay tuned Part2 is coming soon! Thanks for watching brother 👍
Awesome video man! Looking forward to hopefully saving up enough money for the V2 this year, as a 16 year who recently got a job at Six Flags! I originally wanted the X-Maxx but because it's so expensive and huge, I figured that I was probably just better off going for the Maxx considering it's an X-Maxx just scaled down!
Thanks, yeah to a certain degree your right, the Maxx is a smaller version of the Xmaxx but I still say when you get a chance you should definitely get a Xmaxx!! It’s a beast!
Thanks, yeah I really like the colors they released with the new Maxx V2, I already had the green Maxx to match my Xmaxx so I went with a totally different color, thanks for watching brother 👍
I drove my V2 Maxx only for a few minutes and already know that It handles better than the v1 maxx. Even with the widemaxx kit installed on the V1. Thanks for the video and comparison 👍
I told you, it’s a much needed improvement to an already awesome truck! I am actually not gonna install the wide kit on my Maxx, they handle so differently that by not installing the upgrades it’s like having two different trucks, I will buy an extra set of sledgehammers for it though👍
What an amazing run here B, I mean when the truck(s) zoom on by it kinda remimds me of the sounds of the cars whizzing on by in the formula 1 racing circuits. Awesome run brother !!! 👍🏻
@@rcreviews9894 hey I have maxx with widemaxx kit and steel axles should I get new maxx or revo is it really big difference from what I have with upgrades
Agreed! The Maxx is a beast! The Maxx V2 is an improvement on an already awesome truck! Whether you own the Maxx or the Maxx V2, either way you can’t lose👍
I had told TRAXXAS a year ago that they should no longer sale the MAXX without the wide kit. It was a fix, not an upgrade. So they call it a V2. I told them if a really car manufacture put out a truck that flipped that Easley, it would be recalled.
Totally different IMO, the Maxx is unstable at high speed straight away runs on the street, fighting the TSM with a violent chassis wag, tire ballooning being the culprit, off-road it’s way better but is notorious for traction rolling in as little as 10 mph turns, it’s faster than the Maxx V2 and that’s to be expected, the Maxx V2 is heavier because of the wider suspension and longer chassis, not to mention it’s running a 4s 6700, I haven’t tested it yet but I assume it’s going to perform better on the ramp too, again tire ballooning and a shorter chassis being a plus in this case, the Maxx v2 dominates in all other areas, in handling on road and off, stability on high speed straight aways, it traction rolls way less and because of the wider, longer foot print it’s better at take off and landing jumps, I have another video out today that just dropped, part 2, the continuation of this video, where we check out off road handling, have a closer look at the tires and batteries used in the run as well as a size comparison with Maxx v2 and E revo, check it out when you get a chance and thanks for watching👍
Awesome content been wanting to see a comparison btwn v1 and v2 I have a v1 with wide maxx kit with stock gearing and got the same 53 mph interesting to see the v2 a little slower out of the box could be that they now come with a 23 t pinion instead of the 24 nice video…
Thanks for watching, check out my unboxing video if you want an up close side by side comparison, I think the Maxx V2 is heavier, longer chassis, wider suspension and a bigger battery! It wasn’t slower by much, both trucks meet my expectations, I got a part 2 to this video coming soon where we will test the overall handling off-road👍
Yeah I think weight plays a big factor in this situation, with the wider suspension and longer chassis means a slightly heavier truck, not to mention I’m using a bigger 4s 6700 battery in the Maxx V2, I’m satisfied with the results though, it’s a off-road truck so that’s where I mainly run them any way, plenty fast for me 👍
Yes it does weigh more, wider suspension and longer chassis, not to mention a bigger battery, does add weight, but as far as speed it wasn’t too far off from the Maxx
@@rcreviews9894 Very true. Still plenty quick to have fun and the V2 seemed a bit more stable at speed. I haven't even run my V1 non-wide Maxx on 4S - 3S is more than enough to have fun in the space I have!
@@alexp6409 yeah, you see I don’t normally run my trucks on the street any ways, so the truck being super fast has never been a priority for me, it’s just fun to see how fast they really are, I run all my trucks off-road
I thought about that, however since the Maxx V2 is built to accommodate that bigger 4s 6700 and although they are technically built the same with the obvious exception being the wider suspension and longer chassis, I wanted to run it the way it was meant to be run to get a more accurate comparison and really show the true differences in the two trucks
If I had to chose it would be the V2, I still really like my Maxx though and we recently installed the wide kit and sledgehammers on the Maxx and now it really handles a lot better, even with the upgrades the V2 still has a slighter edge as far as handling goes
Does the TRAXXAS 4S 5000MAH battery fit in the Rustler VXL 2WD or 4WD? Hoss? Stampede? Thank you! Very nice spot for speed runs… Great video! Thanks for sharing…
HELLO THERE RC REVIEWS I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU ??? I HAVE SPECTRUM RAIDO DX5C WITH DSMR I WOULD LIKE TO LEMONADE THE STOCK RAIDO THE HOBBY STORE TOLD ME THAT IT IS A WAY BETTER RAIDO THEN STOCK ONE IT AS MORE TUNABLE FUNCTIONS ????
It is true that programmable radios do have have more tunable options, I can’t speak on the one you are talking about cause I don’t own it but I’m sure it’s better than a stock Traxxas radio, a Traxxas radio is pretty basic, I have installed modules on some of my radios, mainly with 3 different trucks that I run a lot, that I want to keep a dedicated radio with, you can store multiple Rc’s and their settings on one Traxxas radio if you wanted to, the module allows the radio to communicate with the Traxxas app and allows for a lot more tunable settings and saved profiles as well as telemetry using the Traxxas app, so it kinda does the same thing as a programmable radio would for a lot Less money than buying a new radio
Anything over 50mph is the gold standard. As you say plenty fast for an offroad Monster Truck. Great vid bro 👌

Great choice on both of those bodies for the maxxes they both look 🔥🔥🔥🔥(great speed run!!!)

Thanks Mel, yeah they are pretty fast for Monster trucks, they even sound like Beasts! Lol
@@rcreviews9894 that is awesome Bryan, I am happy to see your having a blast bud ! Keep on truckin my friend !!!
@@rcreviews9894 hey I have maxx with widemaxx kit and steel axles should I get new maxx or revo is it really big difference from what I have with upgrades
Awesome
Like from Russia
Thanks! 🇷🇺
Can you try the arrma 4s comparison with sledgehammers👍👍
Great comparaison👍🏽🇫🇷
Thanks brother!🤙
I have the original Maxx and I love to drive it, it’s a good all around truck.💪🏾😎
Agreed! The Maxx is a beast! The Maxx V2 is an improvement on an already awesome truck! Whether you own the Maxx or the Maxx V2, either way you can’t lose👍
Excellent videos bro, keep them coming they’re 🔥😎💪🏾 like that spot where you’re running to.
@@LifezEverything Thanks bro👍🤙💯
V1 does better flips
I had told TRAXXAS a year ago that they should no longer sale the MAXX without the wide kit. It was a fix, not an upgrade. So they call it a V2. I told them if a really car manufacture put out a truck that flipped that Easley, it would be recalled.
Sweet Love The Wheelies
Thanks! Both of these beasts are wheelie kings! A lot of fun to drive for sure! Thanks for watching brother 👍
@@rcreviews9894 Yes Sir Most Welcome, Saving For Mine Now
A little weight and a little tire ballooning was a factor but as far as stability goes, (for non-road vehicles) did they handle any different?

Also slightly wider equals more friction
@@colinsunday9149I have hit 53 with the v2 version as well for what it is worth.
Nice speed runs. Figured it would be the same if not the v1 would be a little faster since they have the same setup but it's smaller. 😎👍
Yeah I think weight plays a big factor in this situation, with the wider suspension and longer chassis means a slightly heavier truck, not to mention I’m using a bigger 4s 6700 battery in the Maxx V2, I’m satisfied with the results though, it’s a off-road truck so that’s where I mainly run them any way, plenty fast for me 👍
Makes sense. Wider wheel base more friction
Nice run. I never did a speed run with my Maxx but did hit 56 with the E-Revo with belted tires.
Nice 👍 the most I got mine to go was 50mph, were you running stock gearing?
@@rcreviews9894 Yes stock gearing. I used a new set of 5000mah 3S Traxxas batteries.
@@jimferry4751 hmm, same here, guess yours runs faster than mine, lol 👍
Seems the new Maxx weighs a little more than the old one, and I bet the arms/tires sticking out further causes more drag too.
Yes it does weigh more, wider suspension and longer chassis, not to mention a bigger battery, does add weight, but as far as speed it wasn’t too far off from the Maxx
@@rcreviews9894 Very true. Still plenty quick to have fun and the V2 seemed a bit more stable at speed. I haven't even run my V1 non-wide Maxx on 4S - 3S is more than enough to have fun in the space I have!

Should have used the same battery in both Maxxs to make it more even
I thought about that, however since the Maxx V2 is built to accommodate that bigger 4s 6700 and although they are technically built the same with the obvious exception being the wider suspension and longer chassis, I wanted to run it the way it was meant to be run to get a more accurate comparison and really show the true differences in the two trucks
nice, which one you like better?
If I had to chose it would be the V2, I still really like my Maxx though and we recently installed the wide kit and sledgehammers on the Maxx and now it really handles a lot better, even with the upgrades the V2 still has a slighter edge as far as handling goes
Do the maxxes bunny hop like the hoss? :)
Not sure haven’t tried it, maybe we could do a comparison between the Hoss and the Maxx’s
Hey there the maxx v1 is on sale 479 u think its worth it. I just want a basher for jumps.
O yeah that’s a good price for the Maxx!! I would definitely jump on that 🤙
Does the TRAXXAS 4S 5000MAH battery fit in the Rustler VXL 2WD or 4WD? Hoss? Stampede? Thank you!
Very nice spot for speed runs… Great video! Thanks for sharing…
No it’s too big with out modifications it’s not much longer than your standard battery but it’s a lot thicker
@@rcreviews9894 So your saying it will fit in the tray provided? I could add some Velcro to hold it down as long as it fits in the tray…
@@Justwiselove it’s might be possible, I’ve never tried it, in our hobby we are able to modify pretty much anything lol
@@Justwiselove it’s probably not going to fit in the Rustler vxl or 4x4 or stampede after looking at it
@@rcreviews9894 If you don’t mind trying it I would like to know for sure thank you
Sre both Maxx all stock.
Or foes they have high speed gears installed
Both trucks are stock gearing 🤙
can i use 14.8v lipo battery with 100c in this car?
Are they stock gearing ?
Yes sir completely stock, I hardly ever change the gearing in my trucks cause I mainly run them off road
@@rcreviews9894 oki Thanks
Im trying to buy the new v2 widemaxx in Orange and no one has it😵
Get what ever color they have for now! You can always buy another body later, use the stock for bashing👍
@@rcreviews9894 yea I went ahead and order the rock n roll color which also cool butni really liked those orange shocks man

Why do they advertise 60+ mph? Even with the GPS weighing it down, I feel like at least 55 should have been possible here
With the speed pinion. They advertise the mph as a + . Up to 60+ with the speed pinion.
Shouldn't be long and your esc will be blinking
Are you about a defect with the esc on the V2?
