    I got my Xmaxx because of you kev and I just want to say how much I love it, thanks for the inspiration I needed to get one!

      Have you had problems with the pinion staying on yet can’t find a way to keep it on

    • @aidansrc2724
      @aidansrc2724 Před 2 lety +4

      Try using lock tite and a hardened steel pinion, I had the same problem when mine was new, it might just need to be broken in

    The dog chase was honestly the BEST of the whole video!!
    I used to do that with my dogs when they were younger.
    One passed away suddenly after battling heartworms about a year ago,
    and his sister is still here hopefully for a while longer.
    But she is already 12 years old and is having problems with her shoulders and hips.
    Thanks for including that! Made me both happy and sad at the same time!

  • @DJ.1001

    Extended hubs are going to cause alot more breakages. Thats probably what killed that bellcrank.

    • @tylermatheson4376
      @tylermatheson4376 Před 2 lety +2

      Knew this already and this is why I hate extended wheel hubs

    • @meanf1502
      @meanf1502 Před 2 lety +6

      Their just as bad is putting wheel spacers on trucks not good at all

    • @SebastianLong
      @SebastianLong Před 2 lety +3

      Well, he did also put outcast 8s wheels on it making the center point of the wheel in the same location so it shouldnt cause any issues.

    • @Nick_Parau
      @Nick_Parau Před 2 lety +5

      not necesarily, in this case the wheels he used are very low offset, so with the hubs it has got the offset just about where the stock ones would be. A major thing he changed that i would say is the culprit the the thicker servo saver spring. it has less giv,e so it puts a lot more strain on the arms and servo.

    • @KarmeloPlays
      @KarmeloPlays Před 2 lety

      It was it solid servo saver not the extensions

  • @cramalnig
    @cramalnig Před 2 lety +15

    Class upgrades there Kevin! I've had a nitro Revo for some time now which is totally stock, and it runs perfectly well. I won't be changing things on it at all. It's good to hear you say how well the XMaxx runs in its standard form, shows how reliable they can be. You two had a ball by the looks of things, and that jump over the climbing frame....jeez, well done for using the throttle a bit to lift the nose. 😎

  • @AMM0394
    @AMM0394 Před 2 lety +17

    Have this exact motor and esc/ m2c setup and my xmaxx has honestly never been more reliable. I love the truck all over again you’re going to absolutely love it. I’m running 26 pinion 52 spur with trencher tires. FYI, Sky rc makes a $15 dual fan that with a little trimming fits perfectly on top of the motor and in between the brace

    • @motox766

  • @Beans74..
    @Beans74.. Před 2 lety +65

    Kevin, I love how you can come up with so many different ideas for videos that have to with the X-maxx. Also you should try to fit the electric raminator motor into the world's longest X-maxx!

    • @stoojona5119
      @stoojona5119 Před 2 lety +3

      Can you imagine that Raminator leccy conversion in that w.l xmaxx?!
      I'd like to see a 4 motor, all wheel drive of that too! A motor on each wheel

    • @darkiee69
      @darkiee69 Před 2 lety

      The worlds longest x-maxx is no more. It's the one with the paddle tyres on it now.

    • @MegaPusheen23
      @MegaPusheen23 Před 2 lety

  • @paulbrett9964
    @paulbrett9964 Před 2 lety +1

    Awesome vid, i finally got my Xmaxx at Christmas after watching your videos for months and its an absolute beast, i have done the m2c chassis brace and shock o rings also replaced the hinge pins for the set hinge pins and with thos small upgrades its now a tank. I will eventually change the electronics once the stock ones have broken. Cant wait to see more Xmaxx videos 💪

  • @darwonboyful
    @darwonboyful Před 2 lety +11

    That is some of the hardest abuse I think I've ever seen beyond someone throwing the car off a 40 story building or a cliff or something. Probs helped by very expert drivers but awesome none the less! Love it.
    The trees probably take allot of the shock out of the landings though
