I built an ultimate XRT and a Snap on Xmaxx a month or so ago, I used the red aluminum parts for snap on Xmaxx, and the blue aluminum parts for my blue XRT....I even have a blue heat sink for the XRT and its Traxxas, my local hobby shop had all the aluminum parts in stock a month or so ago.....I don't believe these parts were made specific for the ultimates.....I can say this it's definitely cheaper to purchase the XRT or Xmaxx ultimate from Traxxas I have much more than $500 into each of mine....
Merry Christmas to you and yours Earl!!! 😁 🎄 The new Xmaxx ultimate seems like a good value to me and the XRT is beautiful, I told guy that I feel like they could have done more with the Xmaxx like having the new battery trays, the roof skid and the new style body attachment to give it a refresh, after so many years it's nice they did an ultimate version but it really could have used a refresh on certain parts. Great video brother 💯 🤜 🤛
I'm not sure if I'd trust Traxxas' aluminum parts since I can't even trust their steel ones! To me, this "Ultimate" is a hard pass. But anyway, Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones, Earl!
I had the xmaxx 5 times and each time I sold it again, last time I had it completely built with 1100kv with max 5, gpm gears everywhere, wfo gears, savox servo 2290, wide kit, etc, and yet I have sold it🙈😁.I don't know why I always sell it, but the ultimate is expensive, I will never pay for it, I prefer the upgrades myself.Merry Christmas Earl
I would rather build vs buying it that's half the fun with these thing's my xrt is pretty upgraded now and I rather have it because I built it for myself , not putting down the ultimate I'm sure it's a great truck or truggy but I'd love to get in there and dms thanks .
Picked up an XRT ultimate in February, after 7-8 runs, I immediately saw the need for the M2C hinge pin kit and drive cups. The outer hinges on the hubs started bending and wobbling the plastic arms out. And the driveshafts started eating into the cups. I'm not seeing an issue with the inner arms, but the outer hinges absolutely need the hinge pin kit. Otherwise this thing is a beast and a blast to drive

I’m getting the Xmaxx the day after Christmas! I can’t wait! It will be my first one
Normally you'll never beat the factory bought vs building price. Simple math👍💯 quality is each their own
