For anyone watching this that hates when their Xmaxx body pops off, I have a solution. I bought some black latex tubing for slingshots, tied it to the inner roll cage at the base of the windshield and just in front of the rear latch system. Do that on the left side and the right side. When you put the body on like normal you can reach up under and grab the tubing, pull it down under the Center of the chassis and hook it on the opposite side rock sliders. This will create a cross cross under the chassis that won’t let your body pop off if you tube is tight enough.
4:28 "High speed brake and turn" - I had to laugh so hard:) Love what you do with your RCs, keep it up!
lol yeah that didn't work out so well
Awesome. We need part 2 of this video
That wide max was a real shocker I didn't expect that, I thought for sure it would of tumbled all over, that width definitely helps!!
Thanks for this video. It was a really good idea for a match up. I am thinking of picking up a Wide Maxx kit and you gave some great insight. I will be ordering one.
Thanks for your Destruction bud. Im definately getting a wide kit for one of my xmaxx's! Im really keen on seeing jumps done with the wide body and how it compares to the factory width truck.
Hopefully its even a benefit for stability in jumping as well!
Cheers man. Good vid.
M2C has a killer new mount/slide & top plate system, I like it, gives more spur/pinion option for your hobby wing setup
Greetings to all rc lovers from Turkey
Subscribed and been checking out a lot of your videos, I just started this channel of my own. Thanks for the inspiration!
That's what I just put in my kr8s exb is the cnhl racing series 8000mah 120c!!! Super sick lipos!!!
You wasn’t kidding about the high speed and break. Lol awesome video as usual
I watch all your vids till the end, they are always good so its not hard to do.
Busy busy man😎 keep up the hard and great work you’re the best 🤙🏽💪🏽
I like your power trains, i just got mine and so I'm SUBSCRIBED AND SMASHED THE BELL BABY!!!
I just found out that RPM makes Xmaxx rear hubs and they come with oversized bearings for the inside. And if you break your RPM part they replace it ! Lol the video said exactly what I wanted to say
Because metal wont break 😂 it just transfers the damage to the next weakest part. Youll never use that gimmick warranty.
@@jburnsdrummer the RPM rear hubs are not metal i thought
Bowhouse sells a spacer plate that allows you to run different gear ratios than stock.
you are doing very good work👌👌👌👏👏👏
Interested to see how you get on with those CNHL lipos, im liking them so far, apart from one going up in flames very first bash in the Xmaxx. On the rear hubs you can also now get upgraded Traxxas ones that are beefier and take the large bearing as well part number 7752x
I’ve been having a lot of luck with my CNHL 4s 120c packs. I use them primarily in a TLR 5ive b with an xlx2/1100kv and also in the Xmaxx.
I can’t help but wonder if your fire may have happened from shock. You know a crack or rupture from multiple 30’ drops???
Anyway, I like how CNHL responded! They really took care of you.
@@rcOhio Yeah i pretty sure it was just a faulty one, likely a bad or lose solder that cam lose, these things happen. Customer service from the fantastic .
Do you know the weight differences between the six pack x and the proline mx43?
If you ever notice how when you wheelie an xmaxx it will walk side to side or go up on one rear wheel and tip? I put 20mil in the rear diff and it doesn't do that when i wheelie now because it can't diff out. It just stays on the rear wheels no rocking side to side
nice video. HELP needed. I want to buy an X-maxx. Shall I wait with the purchase? Any updated version will come out soon just like the MAXX V2- Widemaxx? All help is welcomed
Good content.. looking to pick this kit up.. it for 200$ it’s a hard buy
Mate that wide kit would make it handle so much better. But how do the arms handle jumps with out braking the inside hing pins???🤔. I use hotracing 3 bearing hub's are great no problems
are myou running 80wt shock oil with stock caps?
Suspension seems a little soft after installing the extension..
Very surprising and interesting video. RPM rear hubs are better and mitigate the wobbling on tires.
Do the springs feel softer with the wide max?
Your awesome as well my man 👊🏼
Those XT90 connectors on an ESC that's running 150amps?
I have 3 Xmaxx and I’m currently building another one and idk if the wide kit is worth it so this new one I have a new set of white a-arms from traxxas and they don’t even have them in white anymore so what do u recommend and I do have 2 with the wide kit and I really don’t think it’s worth it but I really am in need of some advice??? Thanks my RC friend
I love your videos
It's nice for people that don't have multiple rc cars but for me personally I didn't buy my xmaxx for handling corners at high speeds I'm all about straight on big jumps Back flips and skate parks Xmaxx has a high center of gravity with its chassis design so no
Matter what it's always gonna be more likely to
Roll But I feel those longer arms will have more of a chance to snap on big landings So for now I'm sticking with my stock length Especially since I have other cars like the kraton Notorious Maxx with a widekit Etc
Still on the fence about these kits.
Has anyone ever done the Castle 1100 KV versus Hobby wing 1100 KV?
why does it nose dive soo hard on braking?
Haha you're insane. Gotta love it
I will be installing a hobby wing max 6 in my x-maxx soon. What do you recommend for motor and gearing for air control? I don't care about top speed, I just want it fun again like it was with stock tires😆. I am running the duratrax six pack
Castle mmx8s instead
@@onemansvideos2134 If I didn't already have the max 6🤔
@@joshc6080 dang...get a 1100kv hobbywing motor for the max6
The problem that I have found with the wide kit is that if you want to use m2c’s extended hubs which let you have a steeper steering angle and also make it wider for those who don’t want it too wide, it will litterally be ugly to look at because of how wide it is. And since I am a basher I don’t think the wide arms are good for hard landings. Another thing is that the shocks positioning on the arm is a lot more towards the middle which puts the arm under an even more snapping force when landing hard. I have broken more than a few arms with it, I also thought it looked cool until I didn’t. I don’t have a wide kit any more.
I’m running the Duratrax lockup x’s on mine with RPM hubs and have no issues since! But I definitely haven’t done any cartwheels like that!!!! That was awesome! 👍😁😎
so what's happened for other xmaxx orange it is broken rear hub axle?
yeah just the hub
@@ExocagedRC damn dude maybe get for rpm rear hub oversized bearing it really good
Just like the maxx though, once you put that wide kit on it, you lose quite a bit of ground clearance.
My rear hub was the first thing that ever broke in the first year and I onlyvdrove it like 6x ....lol
I think I counted 35 cart wheels lol
I guarantee you that the stock Xmaxx will turn better while turning fast. And it will be more DURABLE than the wider Xmaxx during really high 30ft plus jumps. Longer, means more breakages I guarantee it.
Why only 26/46 for the match five and 11 honey I’ll be with Set up ??
when you said high speed break and turn . i didnt think you meant turning thu the air and breaking
LoL
My wide kit is sitting in some post office cuz USPS sucks.
Hahaha my spider sense is sensing some frustration! :)
@@michielpoortvliet3003 yeah. I messed up and didn’t choose fedex
Don't get the rpm front hubs get the traxxas upgraded hubs hard-core rc has a video about this
Well, too late. They are on the way. I ordered front and rear.
@@ExocagedRC Dont put the front RPM ones on - they suck and also do not fit very well at all, have to Dremel away so much plastic to actually make them fit, get the Traxxas upgraded ones part 7737x
I'm still watching
Nice now do it with grip on pavement please!
pavement usually slides more once traction is lost
@@ExocagedRC IF its lost!
Can’t believe u did all those upgrades and u didn’t do the rear rpm and Traxxas Has them for the front to
you can’t compare crap with a wide kit and 80 wt. oil versus stock width and 30 wt. oil. Oil alone makes a huge difference on an X-Maxx. You broke your arms because of the thicker oil. Hinge mounts take allot more force with thicker oil.
the hub broke on the one with stock oil
I'm really glad Traxxas finally put out a wide kit for the Xmaxx. It's pretty clear that it's more stable, what I really want to know now is just how durable it is. I have a feeling the extra leverage is going to cause it to fail easier than with the stock arms and lets face it- Traxxas could have accounted for this with stronger wide arms but then they wouldn't sell as many spares... I have a feeling it's going to turn out substantially weaker than stock...
Back of the napkin maths gives about 11% more torque on the hinge pins from the added 30mm of leverage. So not a substantial reliability hit for the gained stability.
Still prefer stock width
Them tires are to heavy.
stock Xmaxx all the way
High speed break no turn 🤣🙄
Somehow i still prefer the 'normal' Xmaxx
Same here, I can almost say it looks better. Likely because that's what we're used to
Just a reminder though if you use the front RPM hubs with the wide bearing then if you plan on jumping it over two feet you can't make a claim on it if you jump it over two feet it voids the warranty on the RPM front hubs and rear kind of😤🤔🤔🤔
This Will be they first times that i going to make a coment You are a basher but as racer You dont have so much knowlegde to setup the new geometry of the car to make it better the car still rolling so much
oh yeah? show me how to setup an xmaxx for high speed turns
Oh and by the way, this wasn’t about properly making the turn, it’s a test to see what happens. I have racers I was a racer and all this you see is one handed driving while recording and narrating at the same time.
@@ExocagedRC so if You have knowlegde You already Know what You need yo changed the roll and they pitch of the car to make it Better to turn now if You are going to make test. sorry but your test was so pathetic that i could not Say anything i watch your canal is good but this ones was really Bad i dont like to criticize but this test is really Bad. You can take My coment in the right Way or the Bad your choice.
Take the dummy bolts off the six packs. Dead weight.
Waste of money
the wide kit? Heck no its not! That makes everything better on the Xmaxx
Another awesome xmaxx video. I have left & right stock hubs ill send to you. Ill never use. I have extra of the same vitavon parts you have. Knuckles,chubs, rear hubs, toe links & bellcrank. Bought 2 of the same setups & only have managed to use 1 dont think ill ever need the others. Hit me up on Facebook if you want them bud
No need buddy. I’ve ordered the RPM hubs to try out. Possibly on the wide Xmaxx to get some more flexibility on it for crashes. The Vitavons will go on the orange truck. Thank you for offering on that.
