- Building a new X Maxx on Steroids
The standard moror is not rated for use on 8s!!! I've found the standard motor can take 8s as long as you keep an eye on the temperature and let things cool down if they get too hot. Try at your own risk!!! I've already melted 1 motor!

I love how clean everything looks in his old vids compared to his new ones
Interesting how he has become a more over the top youtube character since these chill videos.
You do what makes you money.
You have to follow the views 😁 more entertainment and more informative videos for us 😀
Took my xmaxx out for the first time yesterday and I absolutly love it !!! Thanks for the spark in getting me one of these bad boys. So much better than the 2wd I used to mess with years back.
It’s crazy to watch this video 7 years after it was made. Your video style has changed so much!
Enjoyed the video !
Tip: heat up the disassembled driveshafts in the oven to 400 degrees, and freeze the pin rod with keyboard cleaner can held upside down. It will slide right in and clamp down to an interference fit as the temperatures equalize then you can trim the pin and assemble the axle. Works great for pressed in bearing races too.
Awesome tutorial Kevin, I love your channel! Something that you may consider when installing those spring steel pins into the dog bone is to refrigerate the pin and use a heat gun on the dog bone. This will expand the metal on the dog bone and contract the metal on the pin. Afterwards, use a bench vice to press the pieces together. I feel that it would be worth a go. Cheers mate and keep up the great work!
Love the video, that's some hard core bashing with an expensive truck at the beginning, amazing to watch.
I have to say that this is a FANTASTIC video! Well done!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Cheers, Kev
I think this isn't going to be a basher I might just keep it all nice and clean next day with xmaxx BOOM CRASH BANG OOOOHHHHH I broke it
Very, very well made video! I really enjoyed watching It!
super cool idea and tips.. I'm just waiting on my Max 5 and 19/50 is gonna be my sweet spot. thanks for the videos
Aside from cutting the brace between ESC & Motor, I didn't realize the Max 6 was a direct fit for the X Maxx. Nice. I'm sure the ESC probably needed calibration. Worth it
Thank you much I needed to see this. Good tips on the screws to
6yr old video. As old as my son, but I still love to watch it 😂👍
I run the same setup. Good temps and great bashing! Thanks buddy!
Hadn't seen this old video 😊! You've come a long way my friend!
Kev looks well young, Nice video dude. WE LOVE BASHING
Great video, loving the build I want one
So relaxing love all the videos..
I’m watching and learning. This is good stuff
man... look at the baby face... hahaha I just realized this was in 2016!!! Cheers man look at you now.with the LAMBOOOO!! .. Good Vibes Dude Good Vibes!!!! Love your Vids man... I am just starting to get into RCs .. Love the Hobby and the quality time it gives me with my boys and wife....
Opens the xmaxx doesn’t even think about giving the traxxas esc a chance😂😂😂
Well the ESC was the 6s. He puts 8s systems into it. I just got my first Xmaxx yesterday and I ran it on 8s and it suits the truck. Theres a reason they converted them to 8s
@@docedits7294 Hey have you upgraded many other parts to run it on 8S? I have an old 6S Xmaxx I'd like to run on 8 in the future.. Centre diff conversion required?
Probably cuz he already gave the esc a chance.
Hey brother love the video. I was just wondering if you could do a video on the complete setup of the ESC and the binding of the radio? It looks like you just used the stock radio. I want to do this setup to my X Maxx. So any help with another video would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Bloody hell kev, how your videos have come along from back in the day, was nice meeting you on the weekend, no doubt see you again
Great video buddy really fun to watch so I have subbed 😁
I'll check it out. thank you and love your videos
I am planning on an XMAXX as a retirement gift to myself - I have a Stampede 4X4 VXL and I can't get enough !!!! Great video !!! Jolly Good Mate !!!!
Bruce Moore u should get a nice 1/10 scale buggy really fun little car 👌🏻
hi man ! i'm happy to see that i'm not alon in europe to like and use to death an x-max !
Marc from france ! rcgarage68
many's rcgarage 68 well the car still works so it’s not dead yet aye😂
Do you need to file a flight plan every time you play with that truck ? 😅
man you just saved me from spending a 1000.00 i am so glad i found your video i will do your modes to mine and not worry that it will burn up thanks so much man.it just makes sense the truck is very strong and fast your truck looks great
Was it worth buying a xmaxx ?
I love your intro XD
You were born for this 👍🏽
Kevin is this still the gearing combo you recommend?ty
I love how he just has spare 1000$ cars lying around
sports _17 you have to look at with content $$ in mind.
He drives a Lamborghini, didn’t hide it well enough in the live stream so an xmaxx is cheap comparatively
He owns a hobby shop
Used to own a hobby shop that’s why he had so many
I know right
Great video, I Enjoyed the video
just discovered your channel. amazing.
Thanks mate :)
i always loved your videos........ hope i could have something like that x-maxx......
Thanks a lot for your response . I just spoke with traxxas and with this being my first ever RC they said send it in to the for repair seeing how it's only 2 weeks old
You need to get a electric driver with a clutch. I love my milwaukee M12. I just set the clutch at the lowest setting that will drive the screw in, then zip the screws in and then hand tighten.
Hey Kevin love the channel...when you where painting the body and then the black accents I thought you where out to lunch but it looks awesome ...my next body same way bloody wicked
Cracking vid, nice job. You work well as a presenter!
What threadlock was that?
Thanks :) the threadlock is made by BSI i think.
Cheeers
Did they fix all of these issues with the new 8s version of the truck or do the deaths and pins and everything still break and strip?
i need me one of these.. cant wait to get paycheck gaha
question my truck was making some funny gear noises after some repairs I did. I took of the cover for the pinion and spur only to find out the spur has alot of play and teeth are missing or filed down. Any suggestions on making the spur more secure? Thankyou in advance
I loved the intro
Looks incredible ! If you know the torque setting you could get a torque screw driver to set the screws to the appropriate setting without fear of stripping them.
What drill type do u use? I know it’s a dewalt but it looks perfect size for taking the screws out. And what drill bit case do u use?
16:27 I'm waiting for Sting to come in.
i wish i could drive like i had money for repairs haha
Nice brand new plastic 😍
That’s why I’m saving for the class!!!! Boo yah!!!
This was before my time in the hobby but seen it n had to click on it!
This guy got some big money
Great vid Kev 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️
I have the telemetry expander with GPS and the xmaxx light kit, would this stuff work any more if you do the esc swap?
Love the music
0:32 I love tree's
Going with your setup... good vid kev Keep it up Man Cheers ..............
Cheers mate :) Don't let the motor get too hot on 8s it will melt!
U the best kev
I would love to have a xmaxx. Just picked up a slash. I like it

Compensa cada centavo.
Carregador e baterias tudo com xt 90.
Grande abraço
Cheers brother
Do you have video on how to program the new max6esc?
Love your videos and I won't charge you anything to take one of those xmaxx truck off your hands lol
I also love that he has a spare 1000$ lying around!!! Good job bro!!!!
He rebuilt it to be a 6s model in 2017
What brand of electric screw driver is that and what head do u use? Thanks.
For the nice stuff? Who is this guy?!
wystarczy zmienić esc? silnik wytrzyma 8s?
Very nice idea to make the drive shaft stronger but it’s kinda weakening them for force of the pulls of the power
I love all of your video body...- i never see in the philippines x- maxx ....someday i hope
whats wrong with the stock gearing?
I’m so glad I found this video , it’s the exact same thing I want to do to mine , he’s the reason I got an Xmaxx paid $500.00 used
hi kev,, love your vids,, watching here in the Philippines🇵🇭..
i think you should buy some dremel or small rotary tool for building your toys,,
thanks
Great job on that body
what tempature does it take to overheat a motor and esc
Why u dont use castle esc's in your cars?, just ask i hope u can answer thanks
Would a Maxx 5 be better to purchase if eventually changing up the motor?
No one:
Keven: BRAND NEW X MAXX LETS KEEP IT PRETTY... NOW TO INSTALL A 20S LIPO THING AND SQUEEZE 30 lipos!!!
Subscribed 👍
Do they still have the drive shaft problem?
I love rc cars alot
100k subcriber here
Hello, I took a anchio EZRUN max6 for Xmaxx, I wanted to ask just plugged max6 be set, or just turn on and the factory parameters are fine? then I noticed that you used the 18/54 instead of 18/50 ratios think will be better?
I just use factory settings. Just make sure you set your endpoints with the set button (see instructions) 18/50 gave good performance all round but is still a little aggressive I think so hopefully the 18/54 will tame it slightly. If it's too slow I will try 19/50 which is what I wanted to run but didn't have any steel 50t spurs. Cheers
Thanks for the answer, well then, I look forward to another video test with the new parameters, see you soon!
Great informative video Kev, thumbs up from me 👍🏻 and a new sub, traxxas have me excited about the new 8s ready x-maxx but probably not so excited about the price it will be here in uk 😂😂 cheers
Thanks mate :) I think the new maxx will be epic. The price will be high but I will try and do them at the best price in the UK if I can. Cheers
Kevin Talbot ok good to know cheers
Phil Hackett Same!
the other one that you build and modificationa have velinean motor/fan, why this one does not have it?
Hey Kevin what’s happened when a part of a strew gets staped and you can’t get it out / in my new bright rc
Quick question I own a 15 day old xmaxx 8s and something is wrong with transmission or something. When I turn it on and pull the trigger on the controller the engine winds out but the wheels don't move at all. Sometimes if I tip it straight up and down the wheels will turn when I pull the trigger. It's not a temperature thing and I've never taken anything apart
loose pinion maybe? whip off the black cover with the 'hot' sticker and have a look in there first. DOn't rev it up if sometings broke you can make it worse.
Is it a 6s version before you upgraded it?
What motor did u put in this new X max?
Kevin, on that ESC how did you program it or did you just use the factory default settings?
Factory settings, just use the push button to set the endpoints.
This is our dream truck wish me and my kiddos could afford it
3 years and I just got this video
She is a BEAST!!!!
Finally found this video back lmao where do I get the purple tools you use
Can you put the max6 in 4whell slash
Wow 5 years ago had to be just when i started watching . waw is that the first xmaxx ?
wondering, why did this xmaxx have a red shell but blue shocks? I always thought they matched each other? xD
Mine didn't come with the cover that goes over the spur and pinion. Where did you get that?
have a look in your book for the part no. I dont have it to hand. Cheers
0:00 to 0:30 I loved that music so much.
It is a undertale spooktune remix (especially the one made by Sim Gretina)
