This is just my opinion feel free to tell me if you think I am wrong😊 This is the same question every time someone upgrade to a bigger motor, any stock X Maxx would kill you on the racetrak I think, you cannot control all the power you got now, maybe with your Bluetooth module it is possible to adjust top speed and throttle...😉 Maybe a longer wheel bar would help, that would be fun to see. I always love your videos, you are very very honest and reliable....😉 Thank's Peter Denmark

Here’s the thing about that, a good driver will win over a bad driver with either truck. Stock or modded Xmaxx they do the same thing, most of it is in the driver.

@new2rocks753 2 жыл бұрын

Most X-Maxx’s will never see a track, but where you will notice a big difference is in general responsiveness when bashing, doing tricks in the air, and doing speed runs. I found that mine felt a lot more playful with an upgraded powertrain (with both the 1717 and 5687), and it was much more responsive in the air doing tricks off of jumps.

I need a new heartbeat in my XMaxx as well. Stock system has lasted almost 20 packs 😳but it’s time for an upgrade!!!! 👍👍 Not sure what to go with yet but this setup runs good. I’m waiting on the Masher X tires as well. They look very promising given the lighter weight. I agree I’m not looking to win a speed contest with my XMaxx but I do want instant power from a big can in it for air control. So the Max 5, do you think it’s necessary with the 1100kv or could you run the max 6? Great video the low fast flip was awesome. Can it do standing backflips on concrete? 👊👊👍👍

Although HW sells the Max6 combo with the 1100, the Max6 is a really good esc but I believe the Max5 just runs it a bit better. That big 1100 has to be maxing out the Max6 I’d think.
