I am an old school Tamiya RC man myself. Still run my Lunch Box which I have painted up as the A-Team van with a B.A Baracus figure mounted in the drivers side. Added working lights and a higher power engine and metal replacement parts for the gears so as not to rip them apart with the higher power brushless motor.
Oh no way, I never knew you had an RC channel... I used to be into nearly everything RC when I was younger and had more free time, with my first hobby-grade RC car being the original _Traxxas Slash,_ later upgrading to an _E-Revo VXL,_ but now days, the most I really do in the hobby is fly some quad-copters, perhaps drive some smaller-scale, rather lower-end cars and trucks here and there, and seasonally, I might take a boat out once or twice, but sometimes it is tempting to get back into... Perhaps one day.
Jeremy is by far the best CZcamsr has everything that you need in life. But for my question now im new to rc cars and was looking at the traxxas stampede 4x4 or the slash 4x4 what is the best for over-all use and abuse. For off roading
Traction roll is a common thing with short course trucks. It requires diff and shock tuning depending on the surface/track...tires will be a factor also. I raced 4WD short course and traction roll was one of the biggest tuning points every race. My 1st 4WD short course was the losi ten-scte artr because the review you did on it back in the day. Keep up the awesome vids!
It's absolutely not 4th, 5th, or 6th scale. Thankfully they don't put a scale on it (or blatantly lie about it like some other companies) but you can use math to determine it.
I just joined from The Quartering. Don't know much bout rc's but gonna watch some. One of my old Drivers, Kyle Busch when I was with Joe Gibbs Racing had a Craftsman Truck Team KBM. In the early years Traxxas was a major sponsor and Kyle would use a small oval track for his trucks by my house. Who knows, maybe this will interest me.
Been an RC nerd my whole life. Cool to see one of the culture/political CZcamsrs I follow also into it. Bummed the hobby has mostly gone to rtr’s though. I kinda get why but building them is the only way to go.
So glad to get notified, ive learned so much from nightmare over the years. You and jang really got me and my son into upgrading this rc's. Great to see ya again.. I love to see a race arrma Mojave 6s v traxxas slash 6s.
First, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the tires...if a person plans to ONLY run it on the street. Off-road, yup, it needs different tires. Other than that, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to say "thank you" for your honesty. I subscribe to Mark Santa Maria, and I luv everything he said about the MAXX Slash...but, being (essentially) "sponsored" by Traxxas, I'm also quite aware that he's not going to say anything negative, and he's got going to point out any of the truly 'bad' points. Overall, I really like it...but, I'm not planning on getting one.
idk still think Mojave is the king of 6s SCT trucks plus all the supporting parts and mods and the flexibility of the layout you can do so much more with a Mojave imo
Man you do it all Jeremy! Love it!! Teach me the way lol. Not a fan of the Maxx slash. So far from videos have been very disappointing in the jumping department.
Hey, if you don't think it's worth $700 I'll take it off your hands. I mean it's open box so it won't be full price... Love your work man, glad to see your having fun and doing stuff like this again!
Man Brother many many years ago you helped me fall in love with this hobby. Back then I envied your awesome collection. Fast-forward many years later I still envy your collection lol. I’m a single dad now so buying rc cars isn’t easy. But I’m saving for a big rock or the Kraton exb and I’ll hopefully get it. So glad to see you back brother!!! Hope all is well with you and your family.
So the price Will come down. The Maxx is $569 and this is basically a reskinned Maxx. The typical marketing practice for something like this would be to mark it up initially for the early adopters. I expect it will settle around $599-649 once sales have stabilized.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER... I've asked Traxxas to make this 10 years ago... I actually asked for a 1/5, but now I can see how this is the better scale. They always take their sweet time, but I think that's because they put a lot of effort into Research & Development, while also waiting to see what other brands are offering, to then surpass them... I have 4 Slashes Ultimates, so NEED this! Also can't wait for their 1/6 version of their TRX-4, which will bury the SCX6 (my first Axial after 15y with Traxxas, and the parts on it suck - fragile plastic, crap metal... will never buy another Axial).
Why sugar coat it, just say it, its expensive; people that are on a budget cant spend another $200 on extras, and what would it cost Traxxas to put sway-bar kit and not a wiilie kit on this truck and better shock oil and springs and a battery to get you going, Then you can say now ill pay $700 but I would never tell someone to perches this kit for this much money if your on a budget. PS I'm just reiterating what you said, its just me thinking out loud, i would actually say look at the armor Mojave 4s or another kit within their budget.
I was going to start with the Rustler, but for a few more bucks u can get this massive beast. Great hobby, I'd like to get my son into this. Me again as well. Keep the vids coming!
Check out the arrma grom, or losi mini monster trucks, the Traxxas slash are great but start with brushed motors or 2s Rc's for him safer and less breaks.
What the hell do Jeremy? 2 of my favorite hobbies, the quartering RC. Cars, I never knew you were into R. C cars let alone had NRC. Channel, congrats glad I stumbled on to this
@@69jonhill If you're using a real trophy truck as comparison, it's 8th scale. If you use a slash, it's very close but a tiny bit smaller. So definitely not bigger than 1/8. Keep in mind some other companies lie about their scales.
Traxxas has always been cheaply constructed R/C you have seen my Traxxas dual brushless vxl first ever before they were on the market video I made of building mine then months later they sold the same thing as mine.
I only run 1/10th, but Traxxas makes a good crawler out of the box. New servo and 2 in 1 ESC/motor and proper maintenance it is a dependable platform. The RC4WD is a money pit. In a fun way, if you're a scaler. The Axial SCX103 has all the whistles and brakes down randomly for the littlest thing.
@@hby7768 traxxas is trash they are entry model R/C cars there are plenty other brands that far far exceed out of the box then Traxxas ever could with carbon fiber parts everything titanium as well. But Traxxas has always been the cheap entry models into a expensive hobbies. There Italian R/C cars that are far Superior.
@@BrandonGavin_EDC Specs on the motors was very hard to find but I think they are 2800watt motors with a 3500w peak with a maximum input voltage of 25volts. 60C at 5Ah is 300 amps.
Forgot the Arma Mojave, the closest comparison. I ended up buying an arma mojave 4s, only dislikeis having body clips again.. Maxx Slash is over priced at $699, should be $599-649. Just couldn't justify getting one. Wait till i can find a used one. I've never had an issue with finding battery for Traxxas. Far as the servo it's in the same place as the maxx. 1992 tempo for me..lol
You're not going to trick me into getting back into this money pit of a hobby! I'm quickly going back to the quartering before I buy another 1/8 scale nitro buggy. Look away, look away🙈🤣🤣🤣
Jeremy, I came from your most recent video on a.. another channel. Any interest in R/C Aircraft you might be willing to incorporate into this channel? 😁
Having driven one of these trucks i can say with confidence that out of the box these trucks handle pretty bad. The front springs are WAY too soft and the servo saver is also way too soft. The motor is also pretty high up in the chassis for some reason. Overall Im not really thrilled with the Maxx Slash. I really did want one but after driving my friends I'll definitely skip it.
Always good to see another side of people.
Very refreshing it is
Just found this channel. Came from the quartering. My guy. I didn’t know you were into rc. Subbed.
Old subscriber here. Seeing you back took me back years and years!!
Yo!!! Great to see you back at Rc vids. 👍👍. Watch you on the quartering of course. Nice 1
So when do we talk about Brie Larson?
This channel is about RC, not cheeses.
Lmfao @@Cimlite 😂 😅
Jeremy did say he is into bashing..
😂@@adlorin
RC is such a great hobby. I fly, crash, and then rebuild, RC helicopters.
Many different avenues for RC hobbyists.
Now I like you even more bro. This is awesome. You should get in to planes.
I have a Maxx and I love it. One tough truck! The slash version looks really cool to me.
I didn’t know you still did the RC thing!
I caught your stuff many years ago and thought it had gone by the wayside.
Great to see it still going!
I've been watching your other channel forever... How am I just seeing this? Bahahaha awesome man. Good stuff!
Have fun . Lookimg forward to the channel
Hey Jeremy! Didn't know this channel existed, pretty cool. I want to see you race them, now 😁
I’m excited about this channel. I’d love to see some RC in action!

Why am I just learning you have an RC channel? You should let people know on The Quartering subbed
Dude, my mind is blown just as well as yours. I’m super excited.
Believe or not I found out the other way. I watched him on RCNightmare for years before I discovered he had a news headline reaction channel
hey Jermey !! i didn't now rcnightmare is back !! great surprise for me !

Hey! Sweet truck!
I still have what's left of my old rwd non brushless slash, no body and a burned out motor. Is it worth fixing or should i just dump it?
Hey Quart, how does it fit side by side with a UDR
I’m getting one but trying to make up my mind on the sledge or slash.
Fuck yeah I got into hobby grade RC two years ago, let’s go!
Been an RC nerd my whole life. Cool to see one of the culture/political CZcamsrs I follow also into it. Bummed the hobby has mostly gone to rtr’s though. I kinda get why but building them is the only way to go.
I actually just subscribed because you did an entire video without plugging your coffee company. Props for that
So glad to get notified, ive learned so much from nightmare over the years. You and jang really got me and my son into upgrading this rc's. Great to see ya again.. I love to see a race arrma Mojave 6s v traxxas slash 6s.
All the years ive been watching the quartering and i never knew you did RC

Do you still have the rc boat channel too? I forgot the name of it.
is there anything nismo in trucks bodies
I found a company that makes a bolt in carbon fiber thing that has velcro straps so you can use whatever batteries you want.
Great review. Good to see you back
What shelves are those in the back?
I love mine
idk still think Mojave is the king of 6s SCT trucks plus all the supporting parts and mods and the flexibility of the layout you can do so much more with a Mojave imo
I had no idea you were an rc guy!
Not a basher.
It will most definitely bash. Traxxas is made to bash.
Man you do it all Jeremy! Love it!! Teach me the way lol. Not a fan of the Maxx slash. So far from videos have been very disappointing in the jumping department.
Can run it on 3s only?
Yo, had no idea that you are into RC! If you are ever in need of a cooling fan you should hit me up!
this is my favorite channel, I love this
I thought about getting this but I already have a 3s- Slash Ultimate 4x4 a 3s-Rustler and an 8-s X-Maxx my money pit is deep enough for now.
Nice start
Cool! 👍
idk you did rc...???? hell yeah!
“That’s a lot of trucks!”
I randomly came across your channel lol
Ive been watching you on the qaurtering for a year now lol pretty crazy to stumble upon this
Awesome

since when Mr Quartering 😮 big boy X-Maxx runner here lets see what you got ;-p
just to add Earl Moorhead for any tips if gearing that slash
Holy cow! I was like "Where do I know this guy.... OH YEAH!" LOL Didnt know you were also into RC! Sweet!

Exactly the same like WTF lol

Didn’t know this channel existed. I will be subbing for Jeremy awesome.
I had no idea jeremy was into rc's

Check out the arrma grom, or losi mini monster trucks, the Traxxas slash are great but start with brushed motors or 2s Rc's for him safer and less breaks.
Or a slower but fun Rc is the little 24th scale Crawlers axial and Traxxas both have good rigs.

its a short course thats what they do the roll. thats what makes shortbus shortbus
I would say it’s closer to 8th scale. Maybe 7th.
I'd say 7.5. Size wise, it's right between the Mojave 4s & 6s. More expensive than both, mind.

Only just realised your the quartering 😂
What motor does it use? Wattage? Volts?
It’s using the 2000kv 6S VXL would be my guess. 4S 14.4 or 6S 22.2Volt batteries. Get 2 11.1V 60C batteries and it will run like a beast.

Are you going to do any running videos at trackside it would be fun to help you out with anything.
Can’t wait to see you Upgrade it 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
