I’m not stroking your ego here, but the build edit was a thing of beauty. Fantastic. Personally, I’m not huge on too much babbling while doing a build video. Open the part. Put on the part. Send it.
Thabks mate, appreciate it 😀
Cannot agree more.
Somewhat satisfying and -to-the-point-!
Man I agree. Very well done.
I personally love the technology babble!
Agreed
Wow 60miles per hour with an xmaxx!! Impressive. I really enjoy these RC car modification videos which are spliced together! Not too long not too short just the fun bits!
Hey thanks dude 😀 I really enjoyed making it.
I dig your camera angles and editing. The more I watch lately I try to learn about the video structure from the ones I like the most. Who knows, maybe someday I can get something off the ground. Im into so many things I'll never figure out what to do. Your videos are really clean and to the point. Very good job.
Hey thanks a million dude 😀
Practise makes perfect mate so just give it a go
That front flip where the body flew off made me lol. Nice rig. Im going Kraton 8S myself.
Love that motor esc combo. I got one in a Tekno EB 48 2.0 and it’s nuts Love to see it pull standing back flips in a xmaxx!!!!
It's wild now haha, I also have one in my mojave and it's awesome!
That standing back flip 😱💪😂
It was so much fun too haha 🤣 thanks for watching!
“What setup would you like to run on your X-Maxx?” Me: I already need an X-Maxx before thinking about upgrades 😂🤣
Haha, when I was saving to get mine, I thought the same thing, I didn't think I'd upgrade it though
If I were to have an Xmaxx I'd run the mamba 8s with 1650 combo, since is sensored I won't have to worry about temps, also on sensored it sounds really cool 🤣, also a good idea to do for your maxx and Xmaxx is add washers on all three spots to mount the servo. It avoids tearing the case or adapter when you run the trucks especially on the maxx it's easy to tear it, can't wait for next video :) cheers!
That would be an epic setup bro!
And yeah I should do that but I'm to lazy to pull the xmaxx apart again to get to the servo haha. Video will be soon I've been in lock down and can't go far
@@MatthewSimm the Xmaxx shouldn't really have to worry, it's more on the maxx since it's mounted upside right, it's a great way to keep each corner more secure so it'll prevent it from breaking cases, also when is the wltoys coming out? The one you did 100mph
I've always wanted to see an Xmax built for crawling. Has 2 speed transmission so it can crawl and bash. Locking and unlocking diffs, and maybe even 4ws.
Yes! That would be pretty epic!!
Traxxas summit….but bigger
Exactly dude!!
Use a sensor motor an you can crawl with it
run a sensored system like a castle
Ha, no such thing as too much power. Epic video. Have a new purple Vorteks turning up tomorrow. Feels like the night before Christmas. Ha. Thanks for sharing. Keep em coming. John
I love that feeling dude! And I'm glad you liked the video, thanks for watching man 😀
While I feel where you’re coming from, there is absolutely too much power situations. Drove 6S hoss the other day. Trying to bash with it was absurd. Absolutely absurd. Hahahaha. Even blinked in that things direction and it flipped. Some people just love power, and I can’t hate. Whatever you enjoy!!!
that was really awesome Matt ...love that editing of your video ...right to the point on everything you done to your Xmax..bash on my Friend 🤘👊👍
much appreciated, thanks dude :)
The standing backflip is insane. Those tires are definitely a huge reason it does that now. They balloon to perfection. Great vid bro really enjoyed it
I don't think I'll beabke to stop doing this for a while haha, going to need the heavy duty servo saver spring though and possibly metal turn rods to hold the servos power! Glad you liked it man 😀
@@MatthewSimm I’d order a couple sets of diffs then 😂
Haha, yeah, I'm going to look into some hardened steel diff gears 🤣🤣
The tires seem to be perfect but what do you think of the similar badlands mx? Do you think they too ballon to perfection?
That is a rill monster !!!!!!
Oh yeah 😎
I'm think of getting one this Christmas or the arma 8s out casts I like that red monster love that red !!!!
Had to watch the best thing ever like 13times. The out of nowhere backflip kick jump double backflip combo. Instant 360 with a 720 backflip combo. Also Called the buy one get two free miracle. 🙌
Wow!!! Absolute monster with that setup!!! 👊👊👍👍
Thanks bro 😀
I was a long time subscriber with Kevin Talbot since he had less that your subs. He just hit 1million. Keep doing what your doing and you will hit that too!🤙
Hey Ben! Thanks for that dude, you have fueled my motivation 😀
YES!! I’ve been waiting for this since we had our back n fourth about the trenchers!!!
I remember haha 😀 hope you liked the video dude!
Loved it! That triple backflip ability is frickin crazy. I’m still running stock motor and gearing with the Duratrax Hatchets. Blew out my steering servo on Saturday, so I’m sidelined until pay day. lol. Gonna have to get that metal geared one now. Oh shucks. 😂
Thanks man! But I'll be honest, I kind of gunned it and hoped for the best 🤣🤣
The savox I got is about the same price as the upgraded traxxas servo, but you'll need the gpm adaptor (I recommend it because it has the servo that fits the stock steering bearing) and I'd recommend a heavy duty servo saver 😀
@@MatthewSimm great advise! I’ll look into all options man!
Happy to help 😀
IVE NEVER SEEN A XMAXX DO A TRIPLE STANDING BACKFLIP?! WOW!
Haha, I love doing it, it's probably not great for the drive train but oh well
Great video! That editing must have taken 10 hours!
Most people here (Germany) put in the max5 combo. 1.5 mod gears, 25/35
Hey thanks Chris! 😀 yes, I'd say in total, about 10 hours of editing, give or take an hour.
I'm considering a 1100kv with that gearing, this combo is great, but maybe too high of kv haha
Great video man keep up the good work every time I see one of you it gives me a big smile
Thanks bro, I'm glad I can make your day a little better! 😀
Great video...my xmaxx is has the max5 and 800kv set up..wfo motor mount,wfo mod1.5 30/35 gears..wfo titanium axle shafts...dual 40mm motor fans and single esc fan...ripple killer for smooth high speed ramp hits..
Wow dude, what a killer setup! I'm tossing up between the 1100kv and 800kv
waht km?/ h
Back again, since i was getting some info on replacement fans for my X-Maxx's stock heatsink and this month i bought an older 1,100KV Hobbywing. And i plan to run it with the Max 6 that i already have in my truck or go with a Spektrum Firma 160 V2 which is similar to a Max 6 but it's more powerful and it runs better with a firmware update. I might also get the same Trencher tires and maybe an upgraded servo with the standard servo conversion since i don't think the stock Traxxas style servos can handle 7.4 or 8.4V coming from the BEC.
Awesome video, that xmax is ridiculous. Love the standing backflips
Thanks Leroy 😀
Love km.. Great video
Yeah 🙌🙌🙌 thanks for those links below...nice video 😉👍🏻
No worries, thanks for watching mate
I have the same hobbywing combo ESC n motor in my hobao tq7 conversion 1/8 buggy.....all 4 tires spin no problem....hopefully I'll hit the 💯 mph one day.....they said it'll do it no problem, gotta build my spool drive shaft for speed runs...no oiled diffs for speed runs
Wow nice bro! You should video it 😀
amazing. I currently building an Xmaxx. got it in a bin of random rc parts....I'll bring it up to stock first learn to drive it as it is my first 1/5 scale rc.
These trucks are so much fun. Had me laughing just watching this. Definitely going to run a similar setup in my X-Maxx. Nice vid bro 👍.
Thanks dude, glad I could make you laugh haha
Awesome vid Matt. Keep up the good work!
Hey! Thanks Justin, I really appreciate it 😀
You have the links too all the parts you installed…. Awesome video
My first xmaxx is basically stock. At first I was running stock pinion stock spur (18/54) with proline trenchers. I absolutely love those tires but due to the weight they really put a lot of strain on the gears. So I’m now running Badlands on it and I run 18/50. My 2nd xmaxx is running a 800kv HOBBYWING motor with a WFO Mount HOBBYWING max5 esc and 1.5 mod gears 30/33
I too love the trencher but they are a big strain, I've just ordered some dura trax six pack x they seem to be a good option.
Also the trenchers also strain the stock steering, you'd need to upgrade the bell crank and the steering links.
@@MatthewSimm yeah that was also a big complaint of mine. Although with all the setbacks they are still one of my favorite tires because they actually let the Xmaxx be an XMaxx
Awesome Traxxas X-Maxx video buddy.
Keep up the good work fella.
Massive 👍's up!
Triple backflip crazy man
AWESOME vid!!!
Thanks legend 🙏
My goodness
Great video brother
My imaginary x max would be pretty much the same as yours,double standing backflips and all. ✌
Thanks bro 😀
I most definitely want to see more videos of your Xmaxx! I’m putting in a 1717 1580kv paired with the BowHouse Rc motor mount.
Thanks dude, that sounds like an awesome setup! 👌
Danke dafür das du das in Meilen und auch in Km/h zeigst, schöne Grüße aus Austria !
Backflip Madness!!! 😎
Yes sir!!
Bro those fans it sounds like a jet winding up holy S@#T DUDE 93KLM well done 👊👍💯
They do haha! Kept her nice and cool even on 8s! Cheers brother 😀
this is insane Matthew, love it
Thanks dude 😀
Really like your editing style
Thanks dude 😀
Hobbywing max5 esc paired with 800kv motor. Wfo 1.5mod gears 18/35. Wfo mount, and battery strap holder
That sounds sweet dude!
Always super enjoyable to watch your stuff man. You really look like you're having fun, those traxx are crazy.
Appreciate it brother 😀
Just subbed! Great editing and great enthusiasm in the vid bud!!
Hey thanks and welcome dude 😀
Diggin the blue body on there dude!
Cheers dude 😀 she's a bet worse for wear at the moment, I'm consider a heavy duty body as I break too many haha
Amazing video X-Maxx is my dream rc looks great nice build up 🤟🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤟👍
Thanks Ian 😀
And I'm gonna be running this in my erevo 2.0😳
BEAST MODE!!
Yes! 😎
Very nice updated!! look's like you gave to the xmaxx, red bull!!
Hi mate, does the 8s go well with the max6 and 1650kv motor? Any heat issue? Tks u.
So far no heat issues but I just run stock gearing
When your tightening your xmaxx screws with a drill make sure you don’t tighten it all the way with a drill because it will shred the screw threads
On most drills and screws, yes. The one I'm using is a screw driver and I can adjust the torque settings, it'll still strip small screws but the big screws are fine as it's on the lowest setting 😀
@@MatthewSimm ohhhhhhh ok
@@evanrose3070 thanks though dude 😀
Saw that ending coming I thought to my self when you checked the mesh that sounded super loose
Great build and run! 👍👍
I bet it gets hot!
Great video sir I really enjoy your content. I don’t own a xmax but would love to get one, I do have a maxx and love it. The price is what’s holding me back. Keep up the great work and stay safe
Hey thanks Michael, I'm glad you liked the video and I totally understand, the xmaxx isn't cheap!
Well enjoyed, good content and well produced 👌
Thanks mate, appreciate it 👍
Dude that thing is a monster. 🤘😎🤘
Wow..super power!! Crazy!!
Love that combo I just got one for my tlr typhon and it throws it like a ragdoll
Subscribed, you pretty much did exactly what I'm planning with mine. Good video!
I dont understand kv at all so im gonna ask. Why do some big motors have low kv and be considered better than an xmaxx stock motor for example?. Would a 800 kv motor be faster and better for backflips better than stock or would something with higher kv than stock be better? And why and how
Got the same motor and esc in my notorious v4 pur insanity lol, great video mate👍
It would be dude! I have it in the mojave project and wow! I tested it on 8s and it's so fast!
nice... I'll get these parts
I bought all the same mods in this video before watching the video except I got the max5, not max6, yet to fit it all as I've also bought every green alloy part available, just waiting on the diff covers then I'll put it together
dang that servo set up looks great! ive gone threw 2 2085x servos. the snow killed em
Thabks dude and that really sucks bro. The savox isn't cheap but I've heard really good things, you can also get a water proof one which I've linked in the description 😀
Thankyou
So you made that upgrade huh👍🏾🏎 Do know that 4985 motor is only rated for 6s.. The esc will take it but not so much for the motor man. Just the esc alone on the stock motor will give you a crazy boost in power.
Yeah I do know that dude but I've seen plenty use this motor and I thought thought extra kv would be fun haha, the motor will handle 8s fine, but that's also why I got those crazy fans haha, I may go with the 1100kv later on and put this system into another build, ill see how she holds up for now though 😀
@@MatthewSimm Bro im telling you that motor will only hold for a little while (Ask me how i know)but hey do what you do man! Just don't want a $120 motor that's rated up to 6s burn up a $1,000 truck👍🏾 Great video as always and thanks for engaging with your rc community.
I kind of want to know now man haha
I'll be definitely keeping an eye on those temps!
@@MatthewSimm 🤣 Drive it like you stole it lol
Hahaha 🤣🤣
Excellent vid, xmaxx is a beast
It's truly is! Thanks Phil 😀
Absolutely insane had a 1650 in my erevo and being my only car had to switch back to stock way to crazy for me
Learn to finesse the power
So good great Job !
I love the X Maxxxx !!
Love the Xmaxx I have 3 of them and it’s the toughest Rc I own . I also like the proline pro 4X4 and the proline fusion are great RCs 👍👍
Oh nice dude! 3 xmaxxs all build differently?
@@MatthewSimm ya I have one that is a shelf queen cause it has every piece of aluminium u can get for it but it’s so heavy u no .
But the other two are bash kings , I have a 800 kv in one that is just to fast fast and the other is stock and I really want to put the 1650 kv in it next but the Xmaxx is the best Rc out there 👍👍
Thats heaps cool dude! I'd love a shelf queen too but I just can't help myself! Haha
Curious if that system improved the rotational capability. Double backflips off a ramp? Would love to see that!
Surprised you didn't have to trim the servo a bit to fit. I had to do that with mine
Using the same servo or a different one?
Nice vid 👍👍
With this setup, how is the battery lifetime for one run let's you are using 2 6700mah batteries? How long does it take for the batteries to deplete on one run with this setup?
It's too hard to tell, sorry mate, too many variables but I'd say around 25-35 minutes depending how you drive it.
Do have a part number for the heatsink and fan shroud. Can't seem to find the correct heat sink for this motor. Great video. Definitely got a new subscriber here.
Can u use this setup on the regular maxx
Motor would be too big I'd recommend the 2200kv or 2600kv from hobbywing, I'm personally going with the 2600kv
nice video amd thank you i thought 1650 is 6s only....
It is only rated for 6s but I use 8s fine. It's all about heat, not letting it get too hot and with the big fans, it works fine. But use on 8s at your own risk haha
Excellent video. Love the build and not much babble. Little is ok with just (heads up) or facts that I can use. I don't wanna hear about their personal life. I watch videos to expand my knowledge about the world of bashing. Keep up with the videos.
New to your channel.
Have Fun.
Hey thanks for that dude!
Welcome 🙏
Love the power 👊🏻👍🏻
Heaps of fun 😀
Hi mate try turning down your break's on the ESC. I run 24 pionon gear 46 spur gear with Max 5 ESC. I'm running the same motor and ESC in my KRATON 6s 1/8 and it's crazy insane on 8s. I've made my own braces and I don't bend chassis anymore. I'm a retired mechanic and been playing with these toys for a long time mate.. great video mate love the stand still backflips 🤣😂😁👍
I’m going with TP5870 (58x122mm)motor 1200kv and max5 with 20/35 1.5mod gearing and 2085X servo on 7.4v and flysky noble radio and also going with trenchers tires and it’s a beast but heavy with all the upgrades. Need to be little easy on hard landings to not keep full throttle when the car slams in the ground because the diffs take damage easy
Sound slide an awesome setup dude! If you aren't set on trenchers, I'd recommend looking at a lighter tire
@@MatthewSimm I have all pro-line tires and duratrax uphills and sometimes I go on the kraton tires
And I don’t jump in ramps or on hard surfaces but yes they are heavy and the truck takes a beating but the air control is outstanding with those tires and the car does standing backflips easy on the trenches, I’m thinking of go with the widekit when it’s released in Sweden
How's your temp with the tp 5870 I have the exact same motor with the same gearing and it gets hot
nice upgrades bro... but give the 1100kv or 800kv a go with max 5
Yeah I'll probably go with the 1100kv in the future and put this in another build 😀
Hello, nice Car😎 what is the difficult to the Hobbywing 1250kv?
Oh I got an XMAXX alright Xmaxx Rules
What setup are you running dude?
@@MatthewSimm all stock. With 20/50 gears I bought mine last year I drove my real truck and controlling it at the same time going 60mph you’ll like my channels it’s on there
What a weapon!!
I might need a gun license for it haha 😉
@@MatthewSimm haha
What servo mount did you use?
Cool video, Wow almost 60mph out of an X-Maxx that's crazy! i have owned 2 X-Maxxs' in my lifetime so far both were stock systems but i plan to run either a Hobbywing Max 6\1,650KV Combo or Max 5 G1 or G2\1,100KV Combo if they'll still make them or a Spektrum Firma 160\1,100KV combo in mine someday.
Love your XMaxx videos. I still haven’t got one 🥺
Are you planning to get one?
@@MatthewSimm one day. I really want one but already spend far too much on this hobby. I will need batteries too 💰 💰 💰
I totally understand dude!
Nice build 👍🏼
Or is the max8? Is there a max8 esc from hobbywing?
What size pinion gear did you use
Wild if you could find foams and gear it for speed runs
That might be a cool future project, but I like bashing it too much haha
Dang now you got me thinking. Should I go xlx2 1100kv or this setup?
This serup is good but I think the 1100kv would be better dude 😀
What did you end up going with..? I'm torn between the XLX2 and the Max 5
@@savageasfck 1100kv xD
@@skyu777ayala2 Speed for the win! 👍🏻
@Savage hell yeah xd. Havent have the time to test mine yet 😞
Hows the durability factor ?
I see this was done over 12 months ago and was just wondering if your still running this set up.
I really like the size and weight of the max 6 and 1650kv over the 5 and 1100kv. Need a follow up vid.
I cant make up my mind on which way I want to go.
Keep up the great work mate.
Very sweet
Yo what’s the best gearing for this to keep the temps low
Nice work buddy…
Thanks Mike!
I don't get why soo much power? I thought like the lower kv number was more torque and faster like 800kv. I'm new to this so I'm trying to understand
Good question dude.
In general, the lower the kv the more torque and the high the kv, the faster it spins.
Both have their pros and cons 😀
@@MatthewSimm damn bro now I'm soo confused lol like I said before I'm new lol maybe it runs cooler with lower number kv but at the same speed lol I don't know but your video was insane 😅
I see the 1650 says 6s, and nothing about 8s are they built to handle 8s consistently?
no not particularly but i haven't had any issues. do it at your own risk bro :)
