The only problem with buying the xmaxx is getting more 4s batterys thats cause if your going xmaxx then 8s is where its at! Great work you guys
I have the Maxx with all the mentioned upgrades here along with the X-Maxx. For severe off road I love the X-Maxx. For durability I love the Maxx. The thing about the Maxx over the X-Maxx is that there is absolutely nothing I have done to the Maxx because it broke. Every dime I spent on it has been for upgrades. I drive my X-Maxx until the pinion comes loose or something breaks and then I finish the day without any issues driving the Maxx. It's a tank!
The wide kit is a must
I use 100wt front and 80wt rear. 2 months of bashing I only broke steering caster and bent steering links which still works. Stay stock imo! Forget aluminum etc.. all show no go... Excellent video quality 👌
Good video. I've done all but the diff fluid to mine. Live where we get snow, so may have to up the diff fluid when that comes. Does nothing for performance, but the light kit is very nice too.
i got the xmaxx anf the maxx at the same time, i thought i was going to be more interestwd in the xmaxx, but i just wasnt. its big... thats it. the maxx does everything you want in an rc. I ended up trading away my xmaxx with proline everything and felt no remorse. the maxx, on the other hand, will probably go to the grave with me! light kit, widekit, all aluminum knuckles and what not, gps expander, bluetooth. i love it all.
Man same I have all the upgrades and it is just amazing I love the power to weight . The only upgrade I regret is getting an aluminum skid plate but I have a new one coming . I’m just wondering did you get the gpm steering knuckles or the traxxas ones .
@@giuseppegambino790 i did full traxxas upgrades. No regrets. Im sure GPM would be just as good though.
@@fishininjun I’m just looking at the set I think I’m getting the gpm ones no offense they are just a little more affordable
Thanks for this comment. Just got the Maxx with metal drive and wide kit. Was feeling buyer remorse until I read you post. Thanks for the comparison!
@@mdemst dont know if its available for you or anywhere. But get the sledgehammer tires for the maxx, epic. Totally beast mode after that, you need the 17” adapter to fit the tire, traxxas makes a metal one. Gpm might as well.
Kiwis great suggestions 👍.
Add Earplugs for differential if you want it to be more tight!
Nice guys! Super informative, these tips are the best I've seen!! 😎👊👍
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching :)
Vous êtes superbes! Vos conseils sur les modifications 👍👍👍. Continuez avec vos super vidéo 😎
Good tips joe, spent about £150 on my typhon 3s could have bought a better rc but you live and learn can't wait for the next rc
Love your videos and content. I just bought the Maxx and will be doing these upgrades as well. Keep up the fantastic vids.
Glad you like them! Will do our best! 😊
You are on top of it. I’ve got everything you mentioned on my traxxas Maxx. Only other thing I recommend is tire upgrade. I went for the proline badlands. Great video. Keep up the great content.
Thank you! Yes we will for sure be getting some in the near future!
Keep up the good work! 🤘🏼
Great review! Love the honest opinions that are unbiased due to you buying your own stuff. Keep up the good content and those subs are going to continue to climb⬆️🏔⬆️
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for your support :)
Woww..Great video guys.. and I totally agree too!
Thanks for watching!
The upside to the MAXX to the XMAXX is that the MAXX only uses 1 battery where the XMAXX uses 2 batteries. But both are great platforms!
the power is insane tho with 2 batteries :D totally worth the cost of x2
It’s only a downside because the xmaxx is a lot heavier
I'm still using the plastic drive shafts and being a trk drvr I always have extras
Great video guys 👍 she's got a beautiful smile couldn't help but notice.
Nice video, thanks for the link! Always enjoy the enthusiasm and the outstanding production.

What shock fluid weight would you reccomend on a 3s typhon?
Greetings from Crawler RC. Another good video, good images, thanks for sharing the video, thumbs up..
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow great job on the vidoes!!
Thanks so much!
I have the maxx and trying to find the way to change the wheel hub adapter from 12 to 17mm what do I need
which tires do you recommend? standard tires inflate when the car goes full throttle. this makes the car almost unmanageable
@TheRckiwis how do you make the 30x30x10 fit in Maxx? It’s too small.
I have the xmaxx and the maxx I have 12 drive shafts I rather just leave it stock however the wide kit is definitely a must
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Extreme racing for biggee lipo pls! Do u have the upgrade code?
All T and T lucky young man!
I have destroyed 2 (plastic) rear Centre drive shafts on my Erevo. They can be an issue, with 6s lipo.
Good information, well done. 👍🏻
Thank you 😊🙏🏽
Dang $100 for driveshafts!! Thats highway robbery!!! I agree with you would of just got the xmaxx. Nice rundown of what you need to keep it going!! Take care guys!! Cheers 🤙
You can just get these for your stock axles. They work very well with the widemaxx kit:

You all rock
😇😇❤
Hello Amber and Jo !!!!
Super Maxx Review !!!
But I agree ... you better buy the XMAXX !!!!!
The starting price of the Maxx + upgrades .... too expensive!
Well done to you for this video!
Big kisses and take care of yourself
Hi RC FALCOR! I know we should have... definitely going to pick one up soon! Hope you are well😊
@@TheRcKiwis No, you did well for the channel, it allowed us to have your opinion !!!!
I'm feeling very well !!! Thank you so much!!! I hope you too!!!???
Does the wide kit make the chassis slap worse? Can’t tell if it actually lowers its stance making it more likely to slap or it only makes the wheelbase wider
No it doesn't make it more likely to slap ;) having longer arms may even raise it slightly but the difference in height it negligible
Anyone else got their esc blinking 4 red leds and not working anymore. It sucks! I was very happy with the Maxx, but this is a bummer. Plus after 30 days no more warranty and it has been 2 months.. dangit.
i just got me one yesterday. same color. orange
Awesome! Hope you are taking it up some big jumps! 😁
Aluminum castor blocks steering blocks and rear hubs
Anybody worry about the steel cvs being harder on the diffs? This was a Big problem in my erevo v1
How does the thicker dif oil make the truck more stable? Interesting video. Tks.
Thicker fluid, less diff action, bigger turn radius, less centrifugal force mean car less likely to flip. Could be completely wrong but that's what we noticed! Cheers!😊
Thanks for the explanation. Have a great day!
Put some added protection underneath the body with a shock towers would hit you'll see it dimples come up if you don't
Thanks for the suggestion :) :)
Try the mamba esc it Madd mine go 20 more miles per hour
@TheRcKiwis a friend from a FB group makes these upgrades for those that either can't afford or just don't want to pay the high cost of the steel axles plus the extra stuff needed to use them... They are called anti-twizzlers and he sells them at the eBay link below.. They just slide over the newly exposed part of the drive shaft after installing the widemaxx kit... They fit very snug and help prevent the twisting and eventual breakage of the shaft.. www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=maxx+antitwizzlers&_trksid=m5467.l1311&_odkw=maxx+anti+twizzlers
I have a maxx and I made it 6s
Why do all the trucks shocks only come with 30wt. Just another way for Traxxas to nickel and dime stay safe guys and keep dropping the sweet vids 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I know right! Cheers! 🍻
You guys are a cute couple and great youtube creaters love the content.
Thank you so much 🤗
Redcat Kaiju wheels & tires. You will never look back. Its a poor man's Wide Maxx without all the fuss.
Do they fit on the Maxx easily?
@@adampaterson6784 I'm using the 8654 hubs & 7758 nuts so I can't speak to the stock spacer/nut method. But the Kaiju's are wider, have better glue, and don't rub the body (not using wide maxx setup). My one concern would be extra weight. Drive line gears are going to work harder and, unless you've bought the steel axles, the plastic stock axles run extra risk of stripping.
I just realized something, looking at this couple makes me feel ugly. Like could they be any more good looking? Lol. Like dude, your wife looks like an angel. It's distracting. And you ( the husband) look like you came straight out of the pages of Men's Fitness. Man, I need to start dieting and working out. Lol.
This comment gave us a good laugh! Don’t feel ugly!! It is all good lighting and good camera angles 😉 Hope your staying safe on your RC adventures ~ A 😊
A rigid wheelie bar
Fill the diffs with utter butter grease
That’s why it’s called the baby maxx plus I have the xmaxx
Man all these rc bud but your missing the best one trust me I got one not two long a go I think you sould definitely get one and it's the big brother two the max yes the xmaxx you got two get one of these promises you won't regret it 🤘🤘🤘
I know! We are definitely going to be getting one soon that is for sure!
you will love it for sure 👍👍👍
It looks really awesome with the ProLine raptor body ProLine badlands tyres you can also upgrade really good the most Iv seen someone get out of one of these things was like 95 mile an hour and thats seriously fast for a big truck
Yeah 25 foot drops on to concrete will do that. :)
Diff oil I just use utter butter waterproof rc truck grease
yeah but you're forgetting the 899 price tag on the xmaxx and then the three or $400 for the batteries and then you'll need to upgrade that too so you're looking at close 15 to 1600$ by the time you're done your x-maxx way bro
You make a very good point on the batts! What I was saying is, if you buy a Maxx with the intention of getting wide kit, and metal driveshafts it bumps you up to a cost where you might consider the Xmaxx (If you have the space of course) Cheers!
Xmaxx is $999 now...,+$500 for 2 decent 3s batteries and charger, +tax. Roughly 1600$.
Just picked up a V1 Maxx $550 and the shop threw in a v2 widemaxx kit for free as well as additional set of driveshafts for free!!! Also got 2 4s batteries and a new charger $265 (pretty ridiculous how Traxxas claims this truck is 3s-4s but changes the plug to only accept 4s to make you buy a new charger as well.) 870$ Total
@@This_Guy1 if you check the date that was said a year ago then it was 899
@@michaelvankirk3576 hence why i said "is now"
@@This_Guy1 if you pay $500 for two decents 3s batteries you got ripped off and you should have bought the V2 Maxx for $579 $30 more you would have got a lot more for your money The V2 has the wide max on it and comes with batter tires and is longer so it's more stable
I will rather get the x maxx because the total upgrades is going to be like $900
True my friend however once you start upgrading the X Maxx you are going to far exceed the $900 price point.
The xmaxx is already upgraded. I am selling my other 20 rcs because the xmaxx is unmatchable.
Yea and you have to put $600 in upgrades to the Xmaxx durability the same as a stock maxx
Hi
Maxx or xmaxx for bashing
We love the max! Such a good basher! Haven’t got the Xmaxx yet so can’t comment on that one sorry!
Battery costs for newbs xmaxx is too expensive
Why would you just keep adding thicker oil chsnge the springs my god suspension doesn’t work by just adding thicker fluid get fold springs and run 50wt oil
Will make the shocks absorb more force helping to reduce the chassis slap. But does put more stress on them so there is a balance :)
Does everyone from NZ look like Boba fett?
😂😂 “cook me some eggs” all the kiwis will get that quote 🤣
You won't blow your differential self righting. Promise
Let her talk !!!
Buy an Arrma......😁🤪
We already have 2 and one in the post 😊😉
