Are you capable of watching AND listening to a video and getting the gist of what I'm presenting? I thought I explained it rather well... I said this is not a "how to change the pinion gear" video. Of course I used loctite! I showed a screen shot of the manual, AND READ IT! Traxxas does NOT recommend this gearing. It will over heat under hard acceleration and braking. I'm watching my temps closely, and using it for a particular reason. Here's why... 15:03 Watch it again, and maybe listen too. Here's another lovely demonstration of what wheel speed does for the Xmaxx in the air... 17:02 Please, watch AND listen. I try to share what I learn. It's not as easy as you might think to make a video and present an idea and do the driving and filming and editing. Here's my summary I even included at the end. Remember, watch AND listen... 20:13 Oh. And thanks for watching!
I was gonna run either 18/50 or 22/54 gearing without the peg system. The stock 18/54 hardly has enough wheel speed to make the truck back flip. You have basically stay on the throttle and watch the truck perform the world's slowest back flip lol. My Maxx and Rustler 4x4 don't have that issue.
I increased the gear ratio 10%, but only gained 3-1/2% more speed in mph. I believe that's due to diminishing returns on the power system. But during a backflip I'm sure there's 10% more wheel speed with no load on them. It rotates so nicely, got wheel speed to sell...
You clearly increased top speed on a (relatively) long run by changing your spur and now the pinion but did acceleration and responsiveness to quick full throttle improve or diminish?
I did 20/46 dude and it destroyed my spur gear bearing just to let you know got to be down to heat was around 77f outside but I was bashing although given regular breaks between
I don't use the pin system with my aftermarket 50/20t gearing and Max 6 esc and aluminum motor mount. No issues, but I'm not stock. I wouldn't do higher gearing with stock ESC on the xmaxx. Too weak.
So I just got the traxxas link, and I have no idea what that voltage is on the lower right, is that the controller voltage? For some reason mine says 3.2 with new batteries in it.
17.01 Super sweeet! Great vid 👍 Really interesting to see you’ve matched Maxx wheelspeed - just to check though, are you saying you will def. swap out gearing for black top runs etc. to keep temperatures in check? 👍
Thanks! No, this is a blacktop gearing setup. It's a real high ratio setup. I would switch to a lower gear ratio for lots of speed changes for like a track setup...
It's a Garmin ForeTrex 401. I use velcro to mount it. That's a $200 unit tho. If I had to do it over, I would buy this... czcams.com/video/I9nKuorcvPM/video.html

Are you asking me? I always let off the throttle before landing. Even if it's the last split second. Takes the loading of the brushless motor off the gear train. Brushless is so strong, staying on the throttle will destroy the gears...
Good point. What I've done is check the speed with GPS, then plug in false gearing numbers to get the speed right in the app. That doesn't allow for spinning the tires, but mostly it's right...
Hi, good video, I'm abit unsure on what set up I should put in mine, I have a standard 8s all stock and want to increase speed without damage lol any idea's for pinion and spur gear what is best thanks. (Still want to jump it was also) lol
@@RB-MP7 i tried that gearing with stock gears and the first pull of the throttle my spur gear blew up and then I tried a second one traxxas sent me for free and got about 3 passes in and the gear blew up again so I ordered a gds 50t and 20t Robinson racing pinion and never had trouble again plus its just so much more responsive and good speed. Goes roughly 45-50mph which is perfect for the smaller areas i run in
seems like a waste of time it will run hotter and wont make much difference..xmaxx isnt designed to be a speed machine theyre relatively slow compared to any of my other rc rigs
Let me count the reasons... Takes a higher skill level of driving to hit the catch ramp. It's so fun when you do. I'm not senselessly destroying a thousand dollar model. They use a catch ramp for big air in the X Games? Yes? Yes they do. There is still a risk/ reward factor of casing or overshooting the catch ramp. So go ahead and mindlessly bash your Xmaxx, ok? You do own one, right?
Overheating issues. I talk about it some in the video. It's fast, but for most driving conditions it's the wrong gear setup. I want the wheel speed for backflips...
@@chilly7261 do you still have stock ESC and stock motor? I am thinking about going with Max 6 ESC mine has had a few glitches. But the 22/46 gearing seems to be great.
Hmmn... It's always interesting to me how some people think they can see better what's going on in a video that I can see and feel irl. The mesh is fine...
What’s the fucking point...!!! Besides making us watch a whole video and nothing happens? Your content is already decent so people watch.. don’t be another one of the useless CZcamsrs who bait people with titles like this.. your car ran fine and the temps were good with that gearing why would you say to not run it?
you video is bad where is your clue on the srew and everbody saids too me dgs gearing on 20/50 is real good and green clue

What the hell is this guy saying. Forget watching and listening if the boy can't speak or spell English.... I run 22/46 and ok so far
Your Xmaxx is cool, but your property where you run is awesome 👏🏻
Thank you
That is some amazingly manicured grass...then again maybe it looks so spectacular because I live in the desert.
Sam, I really enjoyed watching the whole video. Great information.
Man you have your own airport back there
I’ve clock my XMaxx up at 52mph when I was driving my truck. Controlling it at the same time
That’s pretty good especially in the grass

Fifty one point one miles per hour on grass anyone? With all stock electronics? Oh yeah! HRB Lipos! Hehe...
Thanks for the info and video.. looks like a nice spot to run the X Maxx too

Agree. This is highest I'll go. I'm running the truck on short mowed grass mostly. I'm liking the wheel speed and rotation for back flips...
@@chilly7261 I actually have two xmaxx 8s vehicles. The other one has stock gearing and Max 6 esc. The speed is OK on that one for bashing.
Awesome video thanks for the info
So I just got the traxxas link, and I have no idea what that voltage is on the lower right, is that the controller voltage? For some reason mine says 3.2 with new batteries in it.
i use the arma pinions on my xmaxx stock enginees. they are bullet proof

Nice mod. Have you installed the telemetry expander with gps module?
The Xmaxx now has telemetry built in to the car. You just have to buy and add the module to the radio.
하이하이! 할부지 오렌지엑맥 이뿌다요!!엄지척~
How does he flip it. Up right without eating the gears
Are you asking me?
I always let off the throttle before landing. Even if it's the last split second. Takes the loading of the brushless motor off the gear train. Brushless is so strong, staying on the throttle will destroy the gears...
You should update it in the app for 50/20.
Good point. What I've done is check the speed with GPS, then plug in false gearing numbers to get the speed right in the app. That doesn't allow for spinning the tires, but mostly it's right...

Putting the included 46 tooth spur gear in the truck for their claimed 50 mph plus speed is a good all around setup...
@@chilly7261 Appreciated 👌🏾
@@RB-MP7 20/50 is real good for bashing and a little speed imo. Thats what I run
@@Todd_G_FPVThanks, May Try Next, Since My Post, I Put The Beast On 46/18 So Far So Good👍🏾

How bout setting up north n south instead of east n west jump upslope
Mmmn, maybe not enough room? Or take it up to my RC Field again...
The Xmaxx is a Beast, figure? Backflips so good now...
Where did you get that GPS at?
Ebay. Search Garmin Foretrex 401...
seems like a waste of time it will run hotter and wont make much difference..xmaxx isnt designed to be a speed machine theyre relatively slow compared to any of my other rc rigs
My Xmaxx does backflips...
Catch ramp? why???
Let me count the reasons...
Takes a higher skill level of driving to hit the catch ramp.
It's so fun when you do.
I'm not senselessly destroying a thousand dollar model.
They use a catch ramp for big air in the X Games? Yes?
Yes they do.
There is still a risk/ reward factor of casing or overshooting the catch ramp.
So go ahead and mindlessly bash your Xmaxx, ok?
You do own one, right?
What is meant in your title. DO NOT USE.....🇺🇸👈
Overheating issues. I talk about it some in the video. It's fast, but for most driving conditions it's the wrong gear setup. I want the wheel speed for backflips...
why u video said dont use
Because xmaxx doesn't recommend using that ratio. But he's saying that and showing u its ok.
Wierd. Traxxas app is claiming I runn 66 mph on 22/46 gearing. I don't think it's too accurate.
No, it's not. GPS is the way to go
@@chilly7261 do you still have stock ESC and stock motor? I am thinking about going with Max 6 ESC mine has had a few glitches. But the 22/46 gearing seems to be great.
@@justinirwin7881 Mine is all stock electronics, no issues
you had zero play with the mesh at 4min, that is not good for a gear mesh
Hmmn... It's always interesting to me how some people think they can see better what's going on in a video that I can see and feel irl. The mesh is fine...
