- In this video I do a very “loose” comparison between the Traxxas Xmaxx 8s and it’s much smaller brother, the Traxxas Maxx 4s… I compare the two to figure out which offers the best performance for the money? And Which might be Best for You?
Nice comparison. I've had the Max. Good little truck, but if I could only have one or had to buy either one again, for me personally it would be the Xmaxx. I have a nice big park close to me, so I have room to run that big beast. The Xmaxx handles grass way better than too because of the ground clearance. I sold the Maxx.
Yeah the Xmaxx is still my favorite rc too!! That’s why I have three of them lol 😂
@@RCKnockout don't tell anyone, but I had FOUR Xmaxx trucks at the same time 🤣. Now I have two of them running 1/5 electronics and other upgrades. One of them stays with my dad.
@@joseCalderon1976 wow….you definitely have no shortage when it comes to Xmaxx’s lol 😂
I’ve had both and they are both very fun , but the xmaxx is a big investment, and the replacement parts are more expensive, especially tires and electronics.
Yeah that’s a very valid point…..also the Maxx is more durable in my opinion too
I have both and I love the x-maxx because it is a monster. If I bought one again and know what I do now I would just buy a Maxx. fun little truck and very durable.
Yeah the durability might be a bit better with the Maxx just since it’s lighter….but the XMaxx is definitely the BEAST between the two
Just got my widemaxx on but I gotta wait till Sunday to run it because one of the screw pins that hold the driveshaft on flew out yesterday 🙁. Things happen though that's just part of the hobby! Love the videos!
Thanks man! Yeah you’re gonna notice a night and day difference once you run it with the wide maxx kit installed
That shock hole the 1st hole is for bashing and off road the one outside is for hard surface that what it say in manual
Im in a debate on this right now. There is an xmaxx that needs a new steering servo used for $500 or buy a new maxx. Tempted to go to the larger one as its so cool but the batts are also a huge jump in cost as well. Double the batts, more expensive charger and more expensive repairs....... But its huuuuuuge😂
Personally I would probably pick the Maxx….its not gonna be quite as capable but it does seem to be more durable compared to the Xmaxx and you’d only need one battery pack for it
@@RCKnockout I appreciate the input, after further research it seems your opinion is shared. Repairs for the xmaxx are also more expensive and it's more likely to break with the extra weight to it 🤷
@@breakdown7153 yeah it’s capable of bigger jumps but it just isn’t as durable as the Maxx…I own a V1 and V2 Maxx….the only thing I’ve broken is one stock driveshaft on one of them and I beat up on them pretty good….I’ve broken quite a few things on my Xmaxx’s though
@@RCKnockout I ended up scoring the deal of the century from a guy who works on the road and can't travel with anything larger than his e revo. $900 got me the following in used but great condition: Maxx V2, Sledge, one two channel tqi control, Traxxas link module, 5 Traxxas 5000 3s batts, Traxxas ez peak dual charger, metal brushless servo for the sledge, extra tires for the sledge x2. Both run perfect the Sledge just needs a single tire changed and the replacement was provided ........ I'm fucking shocked and so stoked but it's pouring rain so heavy I don't want to stand in it 😂 With the sledge being as large and fast as it is I think the xmaxx is too big for my areas of use, the sledge with probably get less use then the Maxx v2 🤷. Thanks for the input! It was the right info for sure
Also that was listed price, which was so low I didn't haggle at all. His Full size off road toys and boat were quite impressive.
@@breakdown7153 wow that’s awesome man! That’s quite the deal!
He said only $300 more lol 😂
the minimaxx hands down for me. two for the price off one x. my daughter would show me if she not got one minimaxx 😁 also all my friends got 1:10 so the maxx works perfect in the group 🙂
Everyone has there own preference….the Maxx isn’t quite half the price but it is a really good rig once the wide maxx kit is installed….if 1/10th scale is what your friends have then that makes sense
@@RCKnockout widemaxx is inst. just need to change the oil in the shocks to 50. or maybe more. traxxas say 50. wich do you use with the wmk ?
@@Mike3LV6 I’m still running the stock 30wt….might go to 50wt….have you driven one with the wide maxx kit?…it’s much better than with the stock arms
@@RCKnockout yes, my maxx has the kit instaled runs much better. when i push it down it feels goofier then the stock one from my daughter so i think to change the oil.
@@Mike3LV6 yeah I might consider putting a thicker weight oil in mine
With out even watching the video hands down xmaxx I had the Maxx didn't care for it still a nice truck but I do prefer the erevo more when it comes too that scale but it is all personal preference now to enjoy the video
Yeah it’s all personal preference….never had an e Revo “1/10” so I have no experience there
I going buy a maxx but seriously brotha those bush on bodies on the maxx don't like um prefer the four clips. Don't like my body falling off . Good video
Thanks! I much prefer the clipless body system personally……it takes a decent impact for it to come off on the Maxx though
I found your channel a week ago I really enjoy your videos keep up the content
Thanks! I’m glad you’re enjoying it!
Awesome video as always.
Thank you!
Wicked good info😎loving my maxx’s thus far🥳
Thanks! Glad you liked it!! The maxx is an awesome truck once you get the wide maxx kit installed
I see your getting your entries in for that streetspeed giveaway! I’m right there with you bud 🤣
Yeah…lol…..I can’t remember if I’ve bought anything for the most recent giveaway…usually I get shirts but I’ve been getting some automotive detail spray and some knives too
Nice video. Local shop xmaxx is 999 and maxx is 569, 43% difference. Over 25yrs bashing at the point we're I'm about to give it up. Seems like there's always an issue, rarely can i just charge and drive... Maxx is gunna be my last try with a basher. I have a xmaxx it's awesome so much fun to drive when you have the room and it's working. Gravel pit by my cabin, holy crap 😳, it rips there. But my issues with the xmaxx you need room, cant drive near people or property that can be damaged. Constantly breaking, feel like i spend more time taking it apart and fixing than driving, I don't drive that hard. Cost, it's expensive all around, fix/replace parts.
I highly recommend the Maxx! It’s the most durable brushless truck I own…..aside from the driveshafts which are pretty weak….the only thing I’ve broken is one front C-Hub
I recommend the Tamiya Grasshopper, it only does 12mph so it's easy to handle, It can't do jumps because of the weak suspension, definitely can't take any knocks because of the weak design, so the idea is to just drive it in straight lines, best car ever made
@@thehomefront1905🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤘
@@breakdown7153 lol 👍
@@thehomefront1905 honestly an underated feature of the RC of yore.......... Not fast enough to rip completely apart on the first crash
two nice rigs and great overview of both
Agreed! Thanks!
Unless you have a very large private open area at your constant disposal the xmaxx is a waste of money, and alot of people dont take this into account before buying one… I know I didn’t, that’s why after a year I sold mine and bought a Maxx… I can drive it whenever and where ever I want
I’ve honestly never had that issue…I take my Xmaxx and Maxx to a lot of different parks that have quite a lot of space for both of them tbh
@@RCKnockout lucky man… lack of space wasn’t my only reason, my girlfriend was pregnant and money was tight.. a couple of years later I made a comeback with my Maxx and my drag slash.. love them both
@@nhraandnascarfanatic5907 I gotcha…yeah they are both great trucks!
The x Maxx is huge!
Yeah it’s a much larger machine
Good comparison video, the only laughable part was the part about carrying a 20 lb. truck being difficult, I'm 60, and carry my 45 lb. Losi 5ive for a 1/4 mile to the track.
You have to take into consideration that I’m weak though lol 😂
Very informative 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!
Are gensace 6700 mah with a 65C discharge (2 3s batteries) enough to pop wheelies with xmaxx? And are there adapters to connect with EC5?
I’m assuming there’s probably adapters available….I don’t have experience with those batteries but I’m sure an Xmaxx would be able to pop wheelies no problem….I try to buy batteries with the highest “C” rating that I can find……
what did you used inside X-maxx to protect it from cracks and damages?
Is it Gorilla tape or something else?
I didn’t do anything to this body…..this body is destroyed at this point….the new body I gorilla taped though
I think the maxx is alot better for the money because the xmaxx is 600$ more then the maxx in my country
Really $600 more? What country are you from?
@@RCKnockout Norway
@@RCKnockout the maxx is 700$ and xmaxx is 1400$
@@usdennis1236 wow…..that sounds ridiculous…how does your value of currency compare to the US dollar?
Great info!!! Thanks
You’re welcome! 😉
You’re welcome! 😉
Hello Thanks for the Entertainment! say what battiers do you like for your Xmaxx?
I’ve been running some cheap 4s Socokin Lipo Batteries they have a 100c discharge rate…they seem to work pretty well
Where I'm from xmaxx $999$ no battery. tires gotta go. maxx need metal spur gear, and the steel output kit pound for pound maxx win my thoughts 🤔 😅
Yeah the Maxx is a tougher truck…..I’ve actually never had an issue with the plastic spur on the Maxx…..that’s even running it on 6s……I think the XMaxx needs 1.5 mod gears all the way around though…..then it would be an absolute tank!
if you can afford the xmaxx get the xmaxx
if not your stuck with the maxx
I wouldn’t say you’re stuck with the Maxx…it’s still a very capable rig
Xmaxx my favorite rc car🤗
Same lol 😂
how much is it xmaxx big❤?
I think an Xmaxx costs about $1,000 brand new
The maxx has mod 1 also 24 55 stock gearing
I was pretty sure I had read it was mod 1 gears when I unboxed it…..I haven’t actually messed with the gearing myself
@@RCKnockout ohh cool the first thing i did to mine was the 46t spur gear before i ran it
@@thomasdowneyjr.4162 nice! How much faster did that make it?
@@RCKnockout im not sure ill have to test it one day ill tell you
@@thomasdowneyjr.4162 yeah definitely let me know
First 😉👍
The x maxx is now $1000 for some reason they raised all the prices
Did they? At some point it’ll probably come back down to $900….I’ve never seen the Maxx priced any lower than $550 though
You guys are lucky over here in the netherlands a maxx costs 640 euro and the xmaxx around 1250
@@daanzoomer2997 wow…that’s quite the markup…how’s that compare to the Arrma 8s trucks?
@@RCKnockout yeah its pretty expensive here thats also the reason i bought the maxx instead of the xmaxx for arrma 8s trucks they go for around 1000 euro
@@daanzoomer2997 I gotcha….so there’s still a decent markup on those too
where u from i see the ss717 shirt lol
