As with everything in life,
Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Jarek z
true, but it was fun to watch
No no no no.....you ALWAYS should :) lol
It does get a bit tiring watching people try to make everything faster than it was designed for...I have a max, it does just fine on 4s
Lol - I had to add a thumbs up after the "well the Arrma's fanbois will have a field day with this". 😂🤣😂🤣
They're overjoyed with the breakage regardless of how/why. 🤫
LOL
**For the record, I have both and love both Traxxas and Arrma.
HA! Awesome. I'm with you Brad, I love good R/C's, regardless of the brand.
-Brett
I always receive my orders from amain in 2 days (3 days tops) to my door. That is some damn good service. Keep up the good work. You guys and RPP are the best!
super fast unless you order large items. my kraton 8s shipping time is over a week
I always buy from my local hobby shop unless they don't have the right item. That is called INSTANT delivery. Trouble is you will walk in for one car and come out with 10 😂😂😂
I always support my local hobby stores. I prefer to get my stuff same day and support local. However, AMain is technically a local "small" business and their service is second to none and phenomenal. I order from them when I can't get something local
that long walk to go pick up a broken RC...
"please be an easy fix"
"please be an easy fix"
"please be an easy fix"
ehhh, 100$
The dollar sign goes before the number BTW
@@yezzy5970 ok what about it
Not even. If you replace with stock parts its only maybe 30.
@@coffeyscarburetors6437 you dont know what broke
@@RealJawnes he broke a c hub. I know about what it cost cause i also have a maxx and i just broke that same part a few weeks ago.
Damn. Every time my RC starts tumbling out of control I'm always thinking : I hope I don't hit a car or a person 😂. Great job guys!
Ha ha, for a rc shop, i like the humor in the last videos i watched. Most of the shop tend to say that the product they show in the video worth to be buy. But in yours, you are able to show thing which look to me more concret.
your face during the walk of shame when you know something broke and you don't have the parts on hand to fix it. we all know how that feels.
another great video, cool down to earth vibe.
Thanks rizzod. Definitely not the trucks fault. Tumbling at those speeds on pavement would break most things, including me. But breaking when there are zero parts right now really hurts.
-Brett
Try running a set of belted proline tires see how much power you can put down.
Great video though fellas.
Trouble with the belted tyre's is their weight, it takes more power to turn these so even if they do not baloon as much as the stock one's the weight will hold it back as they are considerally heavier.
@@Nickwillfixit the electronics will handle that weight just fine. But the driveline however... perhaps the erevo 2.0 tires would be better for it. should be similar to the rustler 4x4 vxl tires no? i had very little ballooning on those rustler tires.
Nick Ing dazed & confused you want heavy wheels with that much power keeps the center gravity low and planted and allows for full traction at max throttle
Dude has a 50" hdtv as a phone😂😂😂😂
It was a Maxx phone - the VIP way to get parts from Traxxas!
He uses his 8k big screen curved TV!
I was gonna say the same thing dude
@@offworkhours x maxx phone***
keep up the good work on the videos Brett. Very entertaining to watch.
Hahaha, love the humor! I'm rebuilding my Maxx now and definitely going to go 6s. Great video!
Enjoy your job bro....there's alot of peeps that beat the breaks off ya to get it...I just watch lol. And you kill it man. Love the upgrades of new toys.
All I did on my maxx to make it 6s is install xmaxx 8s esc in there. It bolts right up. The 4s motor has been taking 6s with no issues 😂. The spur gear is plastic, but I've never been able to strip it 👍
Can it take 8s power ?
@@xXxREDEEMEDxXx-yc9ne I wouldn't try that. It's insane on 6s and I barely do that. Actually I got a max 8 esc on my maxx 4s and just run 4s on it. It does standing backflips on 4s with Kaiju tires. That's enough for me. Honestly, even with the 8s Traxxas esc, the punch is not there. That's why I prefer the hobbywing esc on my Traxxas rigs.
Nice to see it readily accepts a Castle system, because I’m considering buying a MAXX pre-roller so I can utilize something similar. The drawback is not being able to use Traxxas’s proprietary LED light system. 😖 Maybe not a deal breaker, but their integrated light system looks good.
Great info as always Brett👍👍 This is insane on 6S. Would love to see how it would perform with the belted tires. As always Brett, keep pushing those limits😁
Nice work! Love your content. Been a fan for a while.
It handled the power alright but it couldn't handle the Brett!
Should've been a soulja
Haha awesome! The Maxx is already getting pushed to the Maxx!! Cool video bro! 💪🏼🔥
I was gonna do that but my plan included a wing! Pretty cool!
When there is this much power, that wheelie bar needs to be longer and stronger to keep it from flipping. The stampede sticks our much farther and gives better control. Nice video MAN !~!!
I appreciate the humor and honesty. It was a hard hit, can’t blame the truck. Maybe the tires...
I enjoy all of your videos. So hard core I love it.
Thanks Casey.
-Brett
I've been watching this dude since he had his own yt channel. good shit haha.
😂😂😂....LOL!! Keep up the humor Brett! Well done! 👏👏👏
That was awesome Brett!!!!
Brett your the man and you know your rcs keep up the awesome videos
My neighbors son drove my 6s maxx for about 45min.
He broke: motor mounts, steering rack mounts, cracked front and rear differential and got sand in them, and cracked front chassis. That thing has a lot of power. I stripped it down, rebuilt and was thrashing it again two days later. I love my maxx almost as much as I love my xmaxx
So this was another great video! Awesome
Wow my Maxx can barely survive on a 3s yet you guys are ripping a 50 mph wheelie and barely broke anything on the crash
Still this was awesome to see
Now you need a wing or two for downforce lol... 6s seems pretty insane for most people. Glad you guys tried this so I don’t have to waste the money.
I was hit with the speed bug with my first Tmaxx by putting a .21 OS in there back in the day. The fun was short lived though as I started destroying the truck with all that crazy extra power. My slash on 3 is fun for a minute but I think if I want real speed, I'll build a drag car. These big trucks don't take kindly to high speed endos and neither does the wallet. I keep mine on the dirt now with speed I can control.
Lol the intro I LOVE THE intros Brett! The tech deck on the RC surfboarder is funny.
The Maxx needs maybe some weights up front to keep the front down.
Rip the GPS and the front arm of the Maxx
You're still the best!
I'm 6'7" and the way you answered that "Phone"..related situation.....imagine seeing clear pix, video, and txt....tall boy probs!! 🤣🤣🤣
You earned the subscribe! Thanks Brett
What a video Brett amazing bro
Gotta have a bash off with the pro mt 4x4!! You've proved that truck is pretty dang tough for sure!!
Madness! Love it!👌🏼💪🏼👍
I'm gonna be putting in a Spektrum Firma 150a ESC and a Spektrum 4074 2050kv motor from my Arrma Felony into my Maxx. Not planning on running 6S. I was worried the motor mount wouldn't hold. Glad to see that'll be a non issue
Wound up putting 6s in my 1/10 summit. Standing backflips and ballooning tires like crazy. Castle Monster X 1515-2200kv
Since it's the MX esc, you can adjust the throttle curve. I had to do that on my MMv1 (HPI Blur F360C) I put in my ERBEv2. It was just too violent for the first half of the trigger to be fun to drive.
haha love the music and b/w footage when you broke it on that speed pass. Nice dramatic effect and excellent song. Who made that music? Well done. That setup looks brutal! :)
Some tips for y’all trying to make this Maxx go faster in a straight line without instant death of itself:
We all know that Traxxas cars don’t have great tuning options, but if you can change the suspension setup, you can change it to fight against wheelies. (Different shock oils, springs, maybe pistons, what holes the shocks go on, etc.) A stiffer shock setup with lower ride height is what you should stride for. If you can put spacers on the shock shafts inside the shock bodies(under the pistons), do that. Increasing droop up front will allow the a-arms to travel downward a bit more so the tires will be in contact with the ground longer if/when the truck attempts to lift the front. Since the truck is a 4x4, you can move whatever existing weight on the chassis farther forward to help push down the front. Lower the center of gravity as much as you can. (Mount the esc lower, remove the extra abs plastic from the body, etc.) If you can mount the battery forward or rearward, mount it forward. If you can increase anti-squat, then do that. More outward toe up front (\ _ /) will make the truck pull straighter. Harder inserts in the tires will reduce ballooning. If you don’t want to unglue the tires to put in harder inserts, you can tape over the vent holes in the wheels and CA glue over the vent holes in the tires to fight against ballooning. Mounting a rear wing from a 1/8 or 1/10 scale buggy up front, and down low can help provide downforce up front to keep the front tires down. Like you said, a longer, wider, stiffer wheelie bar will help, too. Try that after you’ve tried all this. There are more things you can do to improve the setup for what you’re doing, but you can find info on that all over the place. If the truck’s tires are spinning or losing traction, you can put tire sauce on them. Keep applying it between passes; burn it in. Remember, these changes are to help the truck keep the nose down and go straight while going fast. This is not recommended for anything else. Car setup is different for each and every different situation.
Hope this helps!

It's a 4x4 meant for off-roading why would you lower it to the ground....LMFAO that's like buying an E Revo 2.0 and trying to turn it into an indy car. Just use it as it was meant to be used and you won't have problems.
This is how I feel driving my 2wd rustler vxl on 3s. Pulls the front end up at 60mph no problem
That's sure to get your heart pumping!
-Brett
You need some sort of weight on the front end if you want to keep the front end down for steering and being able to pull that trigger all the way and get the full power and be able to control it .
hahaha, sorry for laughing. we've all crashed . . subbed. i feckin' love RC. nitro is my thing
You have an awesome job!!!!
That's what my Arrma Granite mega v3 done when I put a surpass hobby 4276 2200kv on a hobbywing Quicrun 10BL120 3s esc on a 19T pinion. It would do between 40 n 50 and if I floored it at those speeds it would wheelie n flip. Lol so I ordered the Long wheel base and turning it into the Kraton. I got the arms cvds rods ect basically every thing. And I'm using a diff body though. I got the Kraton 4s shells I got 5 of em diff ones some old n new from my other kraton 4s and my 6s kraton body also fits. I got the proline 2.8 Interco Super Swampers from proline on it as well. I absolutely love it lol. Now it's even better.. the swb chassis I'm going to build the outcast 4s with it. Already ordered everything last night plus some new Arrma skins for both of the builds. But yeah overpowering is bad ass but it can be costly
Traxxas tuff baby!
The sad, dejected Brett is the best part of these vids.
My truck broke the exact same way. But i was running stock. Ive got to try this now.
Thanks dude Iv ordered mine as was worried but I’m not not now 👍
Put a wider and longer wheelie bar and have it really close to ground it’ll help putting the front end down.
You should do the wide max conversion on this mini max lol. And add aluminum chassis brace , and aluminum Casters , aluminum steering hubs. And add some aluminum shock guards. Make it stronger 💪 chassis wise. Even though it's a tough truck already box stock it's always a good idea to toughing up basher rigs. You could also add a stainless steel chassis skid plate that covers the entire bottom of the truck to protect it more. I actually got one on both my older Kraton 4s and Big rock v3 BLX. And I got aluminum a arms aluminum full suspension from integy on both. And ppl say aluminum isn't a good idea for basher A-Arms because it could break the chassis.. well with those stainless steel skid plates iv added to them has completely protected the chassis ect. I haven't broken anything major on my rigs because of it.. now my other ones that don't have that stainless steel skid plate I have broken em in half.. so I high recommend a full bottom stainless skid plate. I'm adding two of em to my two current projects
Brett the phone yall have is pretty small you defiantly need a bigger one...Castle makes some awesome products ...
Well DONE ‼️‼️‼️👍🏾 👍🏾🤜🏿🤛🏻✊🏿✊🏿
That truck with steel cv by hotracing she’s unstoppable
Smooth nosegrind shuv out Brett, Big fan of your videos!
You should try again with some weight up front and as you said lower the wheelie bar
Epic stuff Brett. Went thru the whole range of emotions there.. haha. I bet CCxRC is going to be very happy with your batt strap suggestion. I was going to mention the RPM Mamba X mount.. but you remembered that next day! Break seems totally reasonable for those tumbles... cumulative hits then.. SNAP!
Yeah, I agree with you. The truck is really tough. Tumbling at those speeds on pavement would break most things. No fault on the truck.
-Brett
I laughed at the overcompensating phone. :D
Just saw that truck at johns hobbies shop on woodbine and Danforth Area Beautiful Truck though!!
Thx so much for the battery strap idea I ordered mine from you all today... Great video👍
Great video😁👏👏
The phone call skit killed me😂😂😂
Yep. Strap those tires with gorilla line and try again. Makes the front end stay down more due to the no tire ballooning
no reason to rig tires like that Proline makes belted tires problem solved
I chose this motor and a mamba monster 2 , works great
Brett, you beat the living snot out of it...lol Good run thou.
From the slow motion it looks like the wheel broke on the tumble before actually hitting the curb
..........power is useless without control.
Nice vid !
They need a lowering kit for the Maxx (along with widening like the Widemaxx)
Awesome stuff
Lol this was funny. I think I need 6s in my Maxx!
The curb didn't cause the break. The first hard landing on that tire is what caused the damage. (when it landed upside down on the right front tire, you can clearly see the castor block fly off and the tire flop around afterward before the curb)
That esc is only rated for 4s with that motor. Some belted tires will help alot
Time to test out a 5S battery and see if the power is more usable.
Good job👍🏾
EPIC!!!!!! I LOVE IT !
How did you program the esc to the remote
The "4s" stock motor can handle 6s Brett . Try it . Worked fine. Also i would never drive this on 6s until they come out with metal drive shafts
Awh, good to know. So I suppose you could just swap out the VXL-4S for the VXL-6S and go. Thanks for the tip.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies 👍
Yeah. People are forgetting the 540xl is a boat motor (that really isn’t that good) but in those boats has 6 cell lipo going through it
Metal driveshafts came out last week fyi
@@99thpeanut59 how does the stock traxxas maxx motor match up against castle engine?
got caster blocks up running...ordered alum wheel mount splines...no nutz or tool... ordered yesterday...pretty lammmb not all together as kit...still having fun...can i now run pl trencher belted??struggling with wheel tire combo...ur vid makes it look easy,my local shop says no....thanx u always respond....more tune upgrade vids please
Damn, I just ordered my MAXX yesterday and already need a new motor and esc for it. 😂😂😂
This is awesome you need more space
That thing is sick I put a hobby wing 2200kv motor combo on my traxxas monster jam monster mut stampede 2wd on 4s and it would do non stop wheelies I only imagine what it would of done on 6s
I love it how you are modding an unrealised model.
It's been fully realised... It's also been released.
Yep I noticed you also broke the 'C' hub as the lower screw pulled out of it.
Well I guess as it is 6S capable we should wait to see if TRAXXAS do like the X-MAXX and sell either the upgrade kit or bring out a 6S model a year or so later.
Yep way tooo much power, repair it, drop it by lowering the spring ride height adjuster's as low as able now try it, I think this would be the best to make it more stable.
2:15 my man sound like he hasnt slept in 4 and a haalf daaays
I put a max6 in my v2 maxx. But with stock 2400kv motor. Swapped the remote with an Arrma slt3 remote so I have the throttle limit switch. Just if I wanna calm it down without using anything other than 6s.
Also now that i own this truck i can verify it does have a center diff 👍 i don't know why it also has the cush drive also but yes guys the cush drive turns the center diff also my center diff already came with super thick fluid im guessing 20mil atleast. Also any xmaxx steel spur gear will fit this maxx as the stock spur is plastic. It's huge but still plastic. I was so against this truck at first but now that i own it everything is triple the size it needs to be so I'm pretty impressed.
Not a bad truck. Not sure if the 6s power is a great idea but it sure does make it scoot.
wonderful!!!
Wow the drama of it all
hahaa man you'r awsome i like when you do funny stuff haha
My local hobby shop just changed the ESC with the Traxxas 6S. Stock motor. Ran great. Not sure how long the motor would last though.
Someone else was saying that too. Wonder what their temps were.
-Brett
Rebuild and put a little bit of weight in the front end as well as stiffen/widen the wheelie bar?
Looks real good..Ok, seems like RPM will have some job for it. Q if it would broke if it was gravel insted
Wonder what would happen if you weighted it down in the front to help reduce the lift.
Thing looks sick...You say "oh dam" , but you get to walk into a warehouse and take a new part off the shelf....lol
Incorrect. At the time we filmed this, there were no Maxx parts available for any hobby shops.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies yeah I didn't think of that but I was mostly being a smart-ass....
How do u guys clean ur RC cars soo welll
Great info. Careful stating any details about this truck though. Some people seem to take it the wrong way.
WoooooW very cool
I want to see what the hubs and bearing look like
