Great video, great editing! You are getting better each time.
I'm going to get the upgrades too, although I haven't had any problems with the front original ones. I changed the rear ones before I even moved the car.
Keep it up, it's good fun watching your videos.
Many thanks, tried some new cut methods on this one, feel it helps the flow a lot more, takes longer as im not used to doing them, but worth it i think. I also put the rear RPM hubs on as soon as i bought the car, and bought the front ones as soon as they came out, but didnt fit until i broke a stock front one, first noticed an issue when changing the C block but thought nothing of it, then 2 bashes later and the pins were hanging in the wheels, eveyone else i know then checked theirs and have the same issue
Thanks for testing. I'm going to get me a set. If Jack can't break them, no one can!
Your welcome - Jack and i both tried to break then and they took everything we threw at them
Loving the Xmaxx video Dave I have just made some drive cup sleeves for my Xmaxx and done the hinge pin mod just can’t wait to get it out for a good bashing now 🤪
Thanks 👍 yeah you can make the sleeves our of old bearing cases, they work a treat, the hinge pins are a must as stops the arms breaking to easy, the Xmaxx that lost the wheel really only lost it due to still having stock pins. Go send that Xmaxx and have fun 👍👍
Great vid as always. I have t had an issue with my rpm but always good to know there is an upgrade waiting👍😎
Thanks, just give the RPM hubs a quick check, you might be ok, but in time if you are bashing hard this is highly likely to happen, tow others i bash with who had them had same issue.
Awesome video and Rc upgrades on X-Maxx Hardcore.
I did the same rpm hubs and bearings, did last long . Now I've gotten aluminium hubs and bearings. All good now .
Thanks for sharing my friend stay safe
👍🥶👍
Thanks for watching, think these pretty much cover what is needed on the Xmaxx, Stay safe as well my friend 👍👍
What aluminum ones did u go with? U in the USA? Found oversized aluminum bearing hubs for 85 and some regular aluminum ones for the stock bearings for 35
Nice video guys those new hubs look like they held up pretty well. I’m getting ready to do some interesting modifications to mine.
Thanks - are you going Max5 with 800kv ?
@@HardcoreRC yeah The combo will be here in a couple days and there’s also something else very interesting coming for the XMAXX.
@@BarstoneRC Oh im intrigued now. When our stock motor blew i did think about going for bigger motor etc, but decided against it as like the truck as it is, might change my mind once i see yours though 😂
Awesome vid kev you hungry you got him good lmao keep up the good work and editing can't wait till the next live stream👍👍👍 and great bashing
Many thanks - yep i did get Kev good 😂😂 i know payback is coming though 😂
I love getting to see everyone all in one video. Your xmaxx looks epic hard-core!
Yeah its great when we all meet up and have a day out, love this hobby for its ability to bring people together. Xmaxx body is looking a bit worn out now, needs a new one
@@HardcoreRC yeah thats so true, I wish I was in the uk to go bashing with you and the gang
@@RhinoCards793 Jump on a plane 👍
@@HardcoreRC hahaha I would be so down for that !
Good to know, just got an x-maxx today and my front hub broke second run, it's a bit cold here in Canada. They sure do well in the snow!
I bet it is cold in Canada, get some paddle tires on and have fun in the snow 😂 just get the traxxas upgraded hub and the larger bearings, far better than the RPM ones that don’t even fit, you have to mod them to fit
i will grab some merch in a week or so. i appreciate the reasonable pricing of your stuff. also, great logo, ill get a sticker or 2 as well
Many thanks 👍 yep we put the absolute minimum we can on the merch, its more about people being able to get it rather than making money from it
They best hub upgrade so far for me is the newest Xmaxx 8s upgraded hub. Part #7737X with the bigger inner bearings like the rear RPM hubs. That's what I did! Great bash as usual!
Yep thats the part 7737X is what this video is about and what we have put on
Do they include the bearings along with the hubs like rpm do?
Man the X maxx is Tuff 👍. Good work Hardcore where is this place looks great !!
Yeah with a few minor upgrades its just stupid tough.
Them traxxas hubs seem to work great. Rpm ones just didn't cut it. Keep up the good work
So far so good with the new hubs, shame about the RPM ones though, but they just dont work
Great video....Did you lower the rear of the truck seems lower then normal and less likely to roll. runs great getting one this week finally. thanks
Thank you, now its still stock at the rear, might just be the springs are getting older
@@HardcoreRC thank you for the info. Keep bashing with videos
Awesome man! I finally got a set for my Xmaxx as well!
Thanks - Traxxas sure took their time releasing this new hub, so needed as the stock bearing just isn't big enough, think they do a rear one as well, but haven't been able to find in stock, but the RPM rears work fine
Entertaining bash fellas, well done!
Many thanks and thank you for watching 👍👍
all the new 8s xmaxx have bigger bearings now ... which is nice cheers guys
Indeed, Traxxas now ship all the new Xmaxx with the upgraded front and rear hubs with the bigger bearing, the hubs are also beefier than the old ones, if you do break one make sure the part you order has the X on the end
They have fixed there parts , i bust installed front n back , they are tough stuff , made no changes , went right on , they look great to me !
The backs are good, but the plastic is too flexible for the font, that's what causes the pins to come out, if you have got them in the front just keep an eye on them, didn't just happen to me but everyone i know that had them
This happened to me once then I just put in bigger screw into cap that’s holding pin down and good ever since 🤷🏼♂️
Might be worth checking if the pin is sitting in the actual hole
Awesome video, amazing bash sesh, , and honest opinion love it! Keep up the hard work. Subscribing for more my friend 😎
Thanks, always try to be as honest as possible, it does upset some people, but hey the truth hurts sometimes 😂😂 thanks for the sub 👍👍
@@HardcoreRC anytime 🚀😎
Awesome job Dave love the xmax buddy
Many thanks - gotta love and Xmaxx for its sheer ability to take a beating 😂
Yes I agree RPM missed on the XMaxx hub carriers. Mine didn’t last long at all. Funny you talk alt the gears considering I just destroyed mine!! 🤣🤣 I’ve ordered those and I’m hoping they’re in early next week. Great video nice job with the editing 👊👊👍👍
XMaxx is still 👑👑👑👑
Yeah the front RPM hubs are a huge disappointment, so glad Traxxas finally brought these new ones out. Oh guess you were still on stock gears, the GDS ones are so much better. Started doing J cuts on this video, think it helps the flow a lot more
Of course i just picked up some rpm front hubs...... I didn't realize traxxas made them with bigger bearings
Yes that brought them out around the time i did this video, you do still need to buy the over sized bearing with the Traxxas hubs though as they dont come with them
Do the upgraded traxxes hubs come with bigger inner bearings as well? Or do you have to buy them seperate? If seperate what is the part number for the bigger bearings?
They dont come with the bearing, size you need is 20x32x7mm you can buy any brand or the Traxxas part number is: TRX5196A steel rubber sealed of TRX5196X for stainless steel rubber sealed
We need bring this man more subs its good content
Thank you for such a nice comment 👍👍 hopefully it will all come in time 👍
I have the rear rpm hubs, they’ve been perfect for me.
The rear hubs are fine, we still use them as well, its the fronts that dont work
Hit reverse do a front flip takes some training but it works 💪
Yeah, need better tires really as well, these strapped ones you lose so much air control
Nice and informative pal 👍
Thanks 👍
Your xmaxx seems like it doesn't have any power at all, what gearing are you running?
Great video as always👍
Thanks. 20/50 Gearing now, still use stock motor, tires are strapped which mean less air control, but also less ballooning and tires ripping 😂 thought about putting bigger motor in, but then that means more weight, then needs more upgrades to deal with the weight, which means even more weight, then more breakages etc, end up chasing your tail around. Apart from the upgrades listed our Xmaxx still runs stock and find its best that way
I can’t wait til I get one of those!🤙🏼
Xmaxx is just a great all round RC, it doesnt handle as well as a K8 or O8 round the track, but boy can it take a beating at jumping and general bashing
might try the atomic or integy frt carriers off ebay. i put on a set of green aluminium ones w stock c hubs. an seem pretty good. no more bottom pin popping out
Earl Morehead had a video on them. there about 60 bucks
Sounds like that could be good, although i prefer to keep aluminium parts away from the xmaxx, only ever broken one stock front hub so dont really see the need to change it to Aluminium.
i hear ya. For some reason I thought they would help w the bearings an i had that bottom pin on one side pop out after hitn a tree and then a play ground post
Where did you get the outdrive reinforcement mod from ive been looking for some
From here: wforccustoms.com/collections/wfo-x-maxx-upgrades/products/x-maxx-drive-cup-sleeves
Rpm rear hubs excellent the front ones suck - pins keep popping out and shifting to either side of the hub every time so I went with the 7737x heavy duty Traxxas ones so far so good
Indeed - thats why i made this video - didnt want people wasting their money
I imagine I'll pick up myself a when I break my stock ones, seem worth it but time will tell!
They seem to be holding up very well, guys it will also depend on what mods and extra weight people have added to their Xmaxx
Cool video, what do u guys think about the Losi Tenacity DB pro?
Thanks, really dont know about the Losi Tenacity DB Pro so cant really help you there, sorry
Very well controlled buggy perfect for this environment, I do find it boring bc drives so well its not challenging, I run mine on 4s with high-powered fans blx 185 esc stoc motor
@@paulclancy2404 Thanks for your feed back Paul 👍👍
great resolution, with which camera are you shooting?
Thanks - this is on a GoPro 8 at 2.7k 120fps in wide, then editing and upscaled to 4k, lens has a little mark on is so get that slight blur to the upper left which really winds me up, Hero9 just pops audio so cant use that, tried to buy the Hero10 but they keep cancelling my order 😡😡
Sorry I was late on this one guys. You Got kev a treat 😆
thats ok, yep we did, but i know payback is gonna come soon 😂😂
Is there oversized axel carriers for the rear as well?
Yes there are, the New Xmaxx comes with them now as standard part number 7752x
100% agree. RPM crapped out, bought Traxxas
Yep they sure did crap out on the front hubs, rear are ok
So with Traxxas knowing that this rig needs so upgrades will they have a new version or just offer all the upgrades for more money?
Far less upgrades than most Arrma cars need 😂😂 i have been told that all the new Xmaxx's come with the new front and rear hubs as standard
Funny I've had no issues!
How long have you had them on for ? have you looked at where the pin goes in ? might be worth having a look, but you need to take them off to see.
Great vid!
How come there is nothing about this update neither on Traxxas website or BigsquidRc? 🤔. How did you guys get to know about it?😁. Keep sending!😍🙏🏽.
Saw it listed on my usual model shops spares list, dont know why BigSquid or Traxxas didnt advertise it, they also have upgraded rear hubs for the bigger bearings, my understanding is that all new Xmaxx's also come with the upgrades parts as standard. In addition the hub has been beefed up to make it stronger as well as the bigger bearing
@@HardcoreRC Thank you very much for the answer!
What have you got around the tires to stop them ballooning
This wrapped around three times and super glued: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01C5G6B1I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
What’s the part number for the traxxas rear hubs for the oversized bearings?
traxxas.com/products/parts/7752X
how many bearings do you need total to do both sides in the front 2 or 4 ?
The outer ones are the same size as the older ones, its just the inner bearings that have changed so just need one per hub, if just doing the front then 2. when did you buy the Xmaxx as the new hubs have been on all new Xmaxxs for over a year now
@@HardcoreRC it may be bro but i screwed one up anyway so i need at least the fronts what i dont use now i dont see going to waste lol thanks for replying me gearheaded brother 😎
awesome video, the kid s got the charisma of a rock haha
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it
you can thank Kevin Talbot for my sub lol. had i not seen you on there, i wouldnt have found you
Ahhh good old Kev and glad you found us and thank you for the sub 👍👍
Enjoyed 👊🏻👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed 👍👍 Thanks for watching
Hi dude I've just purchased a new xmaxx. Do i need to vent stock tyres?
Hi, i always think its a good idea to vent tires, just helps for any water, dirt, sand etc to escape and not get trapped in side.
@@HardcoreRC Thank you
@@markwatson9413 Your welcome
I broke 3 Traxxas hubs before I switched to RPM hubs front and rear. No problems since last March!
I would check your front hubs, everyone i know that had the RPM ones has had this same issue when bashing hard, Rear RPM are fi e and still use them, Traxxas have the upgraded new Hubs that now take the bigger bearing and have more beef around the whole hub, nit broken one yet
@@HardcoreRC I will check them out
Where do you get the out drive cup braces?
You can get them for here in various colors: wforccustoms.com/collections/wfo-x-maxx-upgrades/products/x-maxx-drive-cup-sleeves
@@HardcoreRC thank you bro👍👊✌️
@@theirishaxe9405 Your welcome 👍
You have a video on what you did to those stock tires?
I don't unfortunately, i just used this: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01C5G6B1I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and wrapped it round 3 times on each run weaving between the tread, then a dot of superglue at various points around the tire to hold it in place, like this but i didn't thread through the tread i weaved round it: czcams.com/video/d0JUkJvOslo/video.html
@@HardcoreRC I appreciate you taking the time to respond. This is why I love the hobby learning how to Mod parts to get the best performance.
@@runngunrc1991 Your welcome, thank you for watching the video 👍👍 Modding and wrenching is half the fun that is for sure
nice soil, hardly any dust!
Depends on the time of year and if its been raining etc, right now it kicks up a load of dust 😂😂
How do you keep your tires from ballooning ?
Strap them with this, just super glue the start, weave in-between the tread and go round 3 times, do to straps per wheel, then super glue dab by each thread. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01C5G6B1I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@@HardcoreRC Awsome thanks one more question. Where did you get the out drive covers or whatever they are called ?
@@jacobhenson3952 From here: wforccustoms.com/collections/wfo-x-maxx-upgrades/products/x-maxx-drive-cup-sleeves
Just wanted to know what does the over size bearing do less restrictions
Is just helps with all the load from this big car, the stock bearings lose the shields real quick, normally on the very first run of a new Xmaxx, and as the bearings are small they break down real quick and you need to keep replacing.
So thats that squeak in the rear lol
@@isaackshirley4695 Very likely 😂😂
I thought so
Rpms is good for now then ill get the traxxas ones thanks
Newer X-Maxx owners can upgrade their trucks just by adding the 7832 caster & 7836 steering blocks and reusing their existing bearings.
Owners with older X-Maxxes can purchase the 7836X upgrade kit that includes both the steering & caster blocks and larger bearings.
Things have changed since this video was actually made over a year ago 👍
Yo You Got to Grease Your rpm bearings rpm only puts little rust protector on them thats what it said in the Rmp directions
i did grease the bearings with red and tacky, the damage was not caused by ungreased bearings
@@HardcoreRC I wish I would have read that little piece of paper before I install them and had to take them back out and grease them🙄
@@insanemadmanroom2299 i was lucky in that i had been told before i got them, so didnt miss the piece of paper
Funny I’ve never had one problem with my rpm hubs
Rears are fine, its the front ones - go have a check on yours, if you bashing to any hard amount then this will very likely be happening as its happened to everyone I know that had them
Just happened to mine
Sadly think it will happen to everyone's sooner or later - just get the new Traxxas hubs, the RPM bearings fit straight in them
Are these plastic hexes?
Plastic Hex ? these are the hubs, don't have any hexes on them
Like with anything in life, if it's beyond your skillset, you're gonna break it. Nothing 1:1 can even get close to how durable our cars are, so I guess.. the parts only really break when they're stressed beyond reason
This is very true, its amazing what an RC car can do these days, sadly though the RPM hubs failed due to the soft material they are made from, they didnt actually break in the sense of being bashed hardm they just flex to much so the pin then works itself loose, not to mention they didnt actually fit and had to be dremmeled to fit, the area dremmeled had no effect on the pins working loose.
Love RPM parts but these were a big fail
You mean the 'Worlds BEST RC Car' needs upgrades?
Apparently so 😂😂
They all do
@@tenncutt Indeed they do, i don't know one that doesn't need an upgrade of some sort
I bash my xmaxx hard and my car only got broken bearings but it still runs. Thats a Pretty nice weakpoint haha
Hola no veas lo vien ke oslopasay el xmaxx rojo noveas como empuja un saludo para todos 👍🏎️🏎️🍻🍻💪✌️👌
Sorry I'm not sure what you are saying, i did try to translate but even that wasn't clear - sorry
Nice xmaxx #hardcorerc
Thanks 👍
Took traxxas how many years to get these to people
All good things come to those that wait 😂😂
Don’t worry Rpm will refund you or send new parts. Rpm is all I use and all I’ll ever use. Never broke anything rpm. They will fix that hub or sell nut and bolt kits for it.
I live in the UK, shipping will cost a bucket load, they don't do free shipping on warranty stuff, so outside the USA the warranty is worthless as cheaper to buy a new part than the cost of the shipping. Don't think nut and bolts kits will work, the issue is the plastic just flexes too much for this application. Not knocking RPM as they do make some fantastic products, love the bumpers and the arms etc, its just this one doesnt work.
@@HardcoreRC I’m sorry to hear that, that sucks and very unfortunate. I know traxxas stuff isn’t too bad, especially the HD parts I believe they are called. I think they are special for Xmaxx. I’m not an owner of an xmaxx, I’ve worked on a few, never the hubs though. So i don’t know too much about them. Or how it’s assembled. That’s terrible rpm failed, and the warranty isn’t worth it outside the u.s. I built my entire rustler with rpm and my arrma talion. I know there’s a company that makes aluminum parts, I think it’s called Hot racing, unsure if they sell xmaxx parts though.
@@smartmeis Just one of those things, was the same for T-Bone racing.
The new Traxxas hubs are actually very good and have the bigger bearing size as well.
Dont like adding too much metal as it adds weight, that then cuases other issues.
|Thanls for watching and commenting
Love the XMAXX it's definitely a BEAST
8:40 Crack kills 😁😂🤣
Nice bashing vid love it 🔥👍✌️
Love the Xmaxx for its ability to just be abused 😂😂 poor Alex, i couldn't help it when i saw the crack 😂😂
@@HardcoreRC That was hilarious 😁😂🤣
Are you hungry? 😂😂😂😂😂
Had to be done 😂😂
It's funny how everyone is copying Kevin Talbot. You say boom like he does, kind of the same music, and same delivery as Kevin.
No body is copying anyone, so we cant say Boom every now and then ?? music on pretty much most CZcams channels all comes for the same places Epidemic Sounds so that it doesn't get hit with copyright infringements. i have heard Kev use a track we used to use a lot and he never used before, does that mean he has copied us ? no of course it doesnt. We know Kev fairly well and meet up a hell of a lot, sadly with the number of youtube channels out there no one is unique and if you look everyone will have similar bits.
💖xmaxx
Yep, its really hard not to like an Xmaxx 👍
I am flabbergasted that RPM still has not addressed this issue. It has been going on for far too long for them not to pay attention to what people are saying about it. It makes absolutely no sense that they keep selling Shardae products for any amount of money it doesn’t make sense you guys are your large company get back to the drawing board please!
They also dont fit when you buy then. you have to shave them down to make them fit or your servo would burn out trying to turn the wheels. Really dont think there is anything that RPM can do about the issue though, its all due to how flexible the plastic is that RPM use, it flexes to much and as such the pin then pops out, it then tries to go back in but likely misses and starts to break down the plastic round the hole until it looks like it does on our video, know a number of people this has happened to. The good news is that Traxxas have finally released upgraded front and rear hubs
These rpm hubs suck in the front don’t buy them 👍👍
They do suck, shame as i love the RPM products as a whole, but this just plain dont work, im just glad Traxxas finally brought these new ones out
@@HardcoreRC can’t u do me a favor and send me the Traxxas part number cause I can’t find them ?? Thank u
