Anyone else watching these older vids again because your bored of the lock down?
No just me
I miss the whip sound and the old simple editing
Me the intro is diff
Me he said Kevrc
Thanks to your really good video content i decided to buy my first ever r/c car. I bought a used xmaxx 6s with bad wheel bearings today. Ill be fixing it in a few days.
wow my first time watching what started this channel , pretty cool Kev. I have seen all others and I'm a subscriber, so let get that engine for the monster truck build. Keep up the good work Brooklyn NY
I run 1/5 scale gas. Im surprised no one uses rubber boots over the drive cups on the X Maxx. Good protection there.
I really enjoyed your video thanks for showing
You teach me things about rc’s keep it up
I would give anything to live there not just for bashing but the land there is so beautiful and to wake up to that would be an absolute blessinf
Was looking at new upgrades for this xmaxx I just got yesterday n decided to probably use rpm instead of hot racing aluminum. Man brotha this video was from a while ago, before I was even in the hobby, ur so calm n quiet lol!
haha only use rpm hubs and keep the rest stock. I was camera shy lol
Thanks this video helped me figure out how to fix my RC that's the exact same!!!!!!!!!!
Nice video. Twissted do you have a link to the things you are talking about?
Thanks for the video
Do you have a part number for that extension you have on the wrench? I got a similar one but it can't reach the nuts that hold the wheels on the X-Maxx.
Hi Kev!! I just got a Rustler vxl for 50 quid 😊,, i put some badlands on the back and front cheaper generic wheels n boots,, a RPM front bumper and a traxxas wheely bar, like a new rig,, very happy, and also just got a Scout which i am modding to protect the front servo and battery replacment mount for WOW as the batt sits way to high,, i stopped making vids as my health with spondylosis makes it very hard to keep up,, but still having fun learning and doing what i can,, i know the Scout is no trx but for the price i am happy, although it did come with a small rip in a tyre,, which i just glued,, as the company i got it from!! "Modelsport" have been very good to deal with and were very helpful on the phone to me when i first got a real intrest a while ago,, and vids from guys like your good self are very inspiring for anyone that wants to get into the hobby, as most folk seem to just leave they're new "toy" rc as soon as they break something,, but as you say!! So much of the hobby is working on your rc stuff, and enjoying doing that,, happy bashing lads,
Kevin, who makes the wheel nut wrench you're using? I'd love to buy one, but haven't found one online.
Just got my first XMAXX....love it.....so are aftermarket rpm arms and hub and better then stock??...u bash on mine have not broken anything.....but I don't bash as hard as u....but was looking for good upgrade part that want take all my cash.....Love the video.....helps out us knew RC owners.....
did you change anything on your shocks ? stiffer springrate or more siliconoil ?
I'm surprised that your not using wheel adapters and the stronger 1/5 beadlock wheels and tires. IMEX has a 8.5 wheel and tire that would work very well.
What hex bits are you using in your drills?
Nice upgrades, they say that RPM products are tough we'll see.
If at first you don’t succeed beat it with a screwdriver. Your awesome Kevin!!
I couldn't agree more karl, I'm back to stock, can't keep the pins in the lower arms, unless you bolt them.
Just pin them and be done with it. The rpm arms are more flexible so they dont break.
Yo I like the video of the x-maxx
Super nice stuff man, im waiting on those Kershaw Designs hardened steel differentials to come out, they told me I can pre-order them
Apparently they have a problem with the first batch, shouldn't be long now!
i have them gshevertthing 27 really nice gears have not installed them yet but they look strong
I read something About rpm parts for x maxx. They are breaking easily. İs that true because I ordered 🤔 if you answer me I will be happy thanks
Difference is probably from the locker bolt for the pins.
No grease in those bearings?
im in one point of my poor life that if 1 more owner of this car recommend it, i will get it !its so cool
Nice job😶
When you have a brandnew truck. should the shock springs be rubbing on the anodized cylinder bit of the suspension?
Get stiffer springs, you're likely having to put too much preload on for ride height
dont fix it unless its broken ... id say .. always smart to have back ups on hand thou
My old bearings were stuck on my hubs on both sides it was a pain in my ass lol has this ever happened to you? Is there a trick to removing them?
Hey Kev =) Nice vid as always!
Isn't the life time warranty valid in the US only? I thought so anyways.
All the best from Sweden
I am waiting to hear from my supplier how the warranty works outside of the US
Lol kev you should make it fully metal jk it would look cool you could use it for thumnails
Won’t the bearing work it’s way out though if you don’t use those little c clips?
No the wheel holds it in place.
Question what parts you think are made better hotracing or RPM?
Derek Quinones rpm they flex and absorb energy
could you make a video were you replace the front lower bulkhead?
I have made one before check out my other videos. Cheers
I keep going through rear pinion gears in my 6s xmaxx can anyone help they are lasting me maybe the 40 minutes I use it then they are done.
Chauncey Winters learn how to set up and shim your gears properly. They arent just a plug and play part, you have to learn to tell when its too loose, or too tight. You shouldnt have too much backlash.
Replace the front and rear bulkheads along with the bearings associated with it. Also change the diff gears to stock 8s.
Can you review madmax bigger tires or othet bigger tires for xmaxx2
if someone sends me a set no problem!!
Kevin i need help with my xmaxx!!!!! i desperately need the aftermarket 2028 motor mount but unfortunately i heard that kershaw has closed up shop, any one else making mounts for 2028 size motors that suit the xmaxx 8S please help
much love from melbourne AUS
I dont know dude, I've only ever used the stock one sorry
search up the posideon rc motor mount, chris kavo made his extreme x maxx build with that motor and their austrailian. you can see the build on RC Tanks & Trucks 24/7
kev you should use a stiletto for a hammer they're much better !
Do you drive?
Funny to see this in 2022
What is so good about rpm parts?
Rpm parts a practically indestructible....... you almost can't break it........ if had the same RPM parts on my TMaxx for over 10 years and bash the living shit out of it and still have the first ones I bought on it
2024 wow how far Kev has come lol
these wheels have square wheel adapters that fit in the 24mm hex that you don't need, just pop them out if they come in stalled www.imex-model.com/category/246/Pre-Built-Large-Scale-Tires--and--Rim-Sets.html
The rpm bearings don’t have grease in them
I run the RPM arms on mine, and I've noticed on a couple hard landings, the pins pop out, mostly on the front outside a-arms.
bill bernard stay stock rpm have 2 much flex
What are the biggest tires you can get for the xmaxx
With an adaptor jumbo Kong's
@@smashrc8481 what are the biggest with 17mm
@@jetblueone Im not an expert but with 17 mm 3.3 trenchers?
How come u not upgrading shocks to anything better? Or it's not worth it? :/
Or the aluminum arm controls? What's your thoughts/opinion on them :/?
Is way easier to work on it when is upside down
You must grease new bearings
I broke a RPM arm, I ran into a pole going idk 40mph roughly, and it broke the ear off the where the hinge pin goes, But normal abuse, I haven't broke any RPM stuff otherwise, I have stripped a few screw holes out before, but was fixed with some gorilla glue.
I I would like a xmax
Kevin..i really want x maxx
I went with proline much thicker plastic
Kev that's a screwdriver not a hammer. lol.
If you strip out anything on RPM products, just snap it in half and get a new set. Hahaha
Is that sarcasm or are the parts supposed to be really cheap ?
Kyle Gardner Lifetime Warranty on Rpm parts. If you break it, they replace it.
I guess RPM needs to check “snapped” parts for stripped threads. They sell you a quality part and you still need to scam them?
MAKE SURE YOU PUT GREASE INSIDE THOSE RPM REAR HUB BEARINGS. I didn't. There is a note saying that. I didn't bother to read it. Well the rpm wheel bearing locked up and burned my motor 😭. I learned the hard way.
What do you think of them now?
crap! haha
Kevin Talbot so they aren't any better then the stock aarms
Damn $120 in a arms alone
Those new bearings need oil
Are you in a taxi?
Yo I got a stampede
I broke mine hitting curbs
Pins are going to come out
96 like
RPM parts on xmaxx is a downgrade exept the rear axlecarriers
Why ohh Why ..needs a car costing round The 1600 euro incl lipo, all te upgrades ?!?! Why do people buy this bad quality ?
