Good to know on the upgrades! Thanks for the tips! Every little bit helps!👍😎

Awesome Bash and upgrades Brother Rocky 😜. I've had HR front hubs waiting on the bench for a bit now 👀. My buddy Rob hook me up. Great to see they're working nicely. Stoked M2C will be making upgrades for the mini Maxx 😍. Looking forward to getting her back out again soon!!!! Thanks for this vid and sharing your tips Brother. 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

I like how you put the truck to the test and show the results.

Love that forward flip to the ramp 🤙

Good info and I love the double jump line!

Such a Satisfying vid man! Seeing it go from the bump to the terminator is beauty! 👌🏼🍻

cool jump sertup. liked how u went flip from small ramp to big. Good stuff

Awsome upgr tip brother. The HR steeeing knuckles are on ma next list. Broken a few 🤣. Bout the metal cvds i agree..they are costy as few, but sure worth every $. Only downside is, the metal outdrives like ERe o 2.o are made of good 🧀🙈. I rehardened mknes and are now flawless 🥰

Another great video, Rocky. Thanks for all the helpful tips and info. I'm gonna order the upgrade parts you suggest one at a time so I don't break the bank and I have them when my Maxx V2 arrives on my birthday from the wifey. Lol. Bash on, brother.

That's awesome bro I love the front flips bad to the bones an high jumps That's how u drive a rc car an music is good 👍 👌

I filled the center plast shaft with JB weld and it helped stop from twisting.. great info man!

I would add one other mod that I did on my Maxx V2; Get rid of the stupid (IMO) battery tray system and go with some good straps. I now can run any size battery that I want and they stay put. Excellent video.

Cool

Dude! Youve got the skill, super cool trick just 5 seconds in!

Love the new bump flip onto the terminator ramp move. V cool 😎 Bash on brotha 🤟🤟

Thanks for the tips bro very helpful on a great budget, I have a V1 and got the V2 chassis and other stuff that goes with it cage, driveshaft etc, it's actually only like four parts, just can't get body yet. But gonna use your tips for reassembly....love the channel👍👍

On mine, I replaced the c-hub part with treal instead of the axle carrier. I figured I'd stick with the stock carrier since it pivots on the king pin and over time will wear. The OEM carrier is a lot cheaper to replace due to wear than an alloy one. With the treal c-hub, I haven't had one pop out since I installed them. Prior to that, they would pop out on me constantly.

THAT WAS EPIC THUNDER!!!! Major props on your freestyle! Always an honor to watch your videos bro! Great upgrades and advise, your #1 🏆in my book Brother Thunder! ⚡️🧨💥🔥⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

Awesome Intro and Ending.👍👍👍👍👍

You can take a small grub screw and put in the male end of the axle to keep the glue from leaking then fill it with gorilla glue, makes them a lot stronger.

Bumpflip into terminator ramp, nice combo!!

Appreciate the tips bro,👍 soaking them up from the forums and Tubers and apply to mine. Guess will end up with a 1K Maxx like everyone else. 🤣 M2C drivshafts would be killer. ✌ brother.

I luv the upgrades, good to know what needs help on the Maxx before I buy one. Keep up the great bashing, luv the channel 👍👍👍💯👊👊👊👆👆🌜🌜⚡⚡⚡🤘🤘

Wow great video might have to try something like this on my v2 maxx

Awesome video showing the upgrades 👍 I haven't even run my new Maxx yet 🤣

🤩👍👍👍

Great video getting creative with the jumps

I also have the V1 & V2 and these are really great trucks. Fast, durable, & my neighbors like them because they’re quieter than my Arrma’s…lol I know I know, but I have some really nose up to everything neighbors and these at least keep them in their houses when I just want to bash around the house. Especially with the Prolines on, man I’m telling those tires make less noise at least to me than the stock ones Another great video

M’y favorite truck bro very good job 🦇

Perfect job bro as Always 👌🤘🤘

It's cool to see what upgrades needs done to help make it as reliable as possible. For me I like to do the bare minimum to keep the vehicles as stock as possible. The oil mixture you have in the shocks seems pretty well sorted. I usually mix oils myself. Btw, I have the hub extentions and I love them.

Nice Rocky !! I hope m2c comes out with drive cups also. The traxxas ones wear out quick. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Good stuff! Your neighbors must either love you or hate you! Lol

Awesome your the bashing King 🤴

Thanks for the video , could you share the info and links for the Steering servo your updating ?

Great 👍 video Rocky as always

And a link to those axle hub carriers would be great I broke the hinge pin on one of them

Just got the steel cvd's on my WideMaxx v1. I've only used a 3s battery, and I still snapped the stock driveshafts. But to be fair I rally race it with 3.8 E-Revo wheels and 20t pinion.. maybe self-righting did it?

Hey dont forget to add the aluminum toe links i got the hot racing steering bellcrank assembly with the over priced traxxas aluminum wide toe links steering is 100% better than stock no breakages and i deff bash hard i also run 80 wt in all shocks helps with the mega jumps 👍

Captured hinge pins are a must

Nice bro very nice. I've found that the front and rear hubs are weak (replaced with aluminum Traxxas ones), the C hubs are weak (replaced with aluminum Traxxas ones), I broke one of the plastic ones driveshafts (replaced with steel CVDS from Traxxas, but now sure if that was necessary), replaced wheel hex ends with aluminum ones from REVO 2.0 (so that the steel CVDS can work), replaced ESC with Max 8 ESC (much better punch and power), replaced receiver with spectrum receiver, replaced spur gear cover with gpm aluminum one (motor kept shifting), replaced motor mount with aluminum one (motor kept shifting). So yeah lots of expensive upgrades 😅

For me what solved the kingpin pop out is the aluminum C hub and I still use the stock plastic bearing carriers.

you got some crazy skill! I thought you were going to front flip to wheelie lol

With the Maxx since I'm from New York I send it everywhere in the Bronx, and this one time when I had the plastic hubs I managed to snap the stock king pins that came with the truck 🤣🤣🤣. So since I bought the captured hinge pins I went ahead and treated them with more heat and used transmission fluid to cool it off and it's been a whole hell of a lot stronger since doing that with aluminum hubs. I wanted to ask you too, what tires would you recommend if you walk around the city for 3 hours, the proline trenchers 3.8 LP or the badlands you have on your Maxx? Let me know please 🙏. Love your vids!

Nice job! Does the stock motor pair well with the new ESC and 6S?

Would you recommend same upgrades for maxx v1?

Still no issues with stock axles and hub extensions?

Have you tried the Power Hobby belted tires for the Maxx yet ? There are two : Raptor and Defender , I have a set of belted hatchet 2.8 duratrax ones , they are just a bit out of round and work ok , Keep up the good work ! love the channel

Do you still run the Maxx with the hex extenders? How have they been - any breakages of axles, c-hubs, bearings etc due to the increased leverage?

good tips!! That picture you showed us and we thought it was a losi rock ray. It actually IS an Arrma. (Arrma fireteam) It looks pretty insane!!

The max v2 is awesome I had to pick one up :)

Replaced my C-hubs rather than steering blocks. C-hub always flexes causing the pins to pop out. Also got the captured pins for the arms and hubs.

Where did you get the axle/hub extenders? Part number for the metal knuckles? Thx

Loved all the tuning you did to suit your driving style Rocky. . Plastic driveshaft is a total deal breaker for me man.. I can't stand them and Plastic Spur! Trucks are getting more powerful and fast should be a Crime to use them plastic Shit LoL 🤣 another awesome upload brother

I just ordered a new Maxx V2, first ever RC car but your never too old right. I have been watching your vids and others but finally came to the realization that your bashing right in front of Little Bay in Rockport Texas, it was my home for 14 years. I still have two sailboats in storage down there. I just recently moved back to our land in East Texas which is why i'm buying a basher. 79 acres and a back hoe, I figure i can have some fun. That street you are on was my shortcut from Key Allegro to wallyworld. Can't believe i never saw you. Keep bashing and chive on friend.

So pretty much upgrades like that if you plan on running your Max as if it were an airplane without wings…. Got it. But when you say you mix your shock oil- I don’t remember what mixture you said you put in the front but when you said you mixed 50 weight and 80 weight 50-50, what weight shock oil does that equate to in the end like, 75w or something?

Could you share the info on part numbers for the upgrades on the hubs and extenders? What battery are you running? Thanks and great videos!!!!

I have no plans on ever getting a Maxx V2 or a used V1 at that, but i personally feel like that is a good platform for a Tekin RX8 ESC. I would in fact pick that ESC over a Hobbywing or a Castle Creations ESC myself and i like Hobbywing and Castle. Not sure why i would put the Tekin over the Hobbywing or the Castle. I just think it would perform really well in it.

Great job on the mods ... still running the original motor ? What gearing you got on there ? Love the vid

Can you link what hubs and hub extensions and tires you have for your traxxas maxx.

Great video Man. thank you! I know you have been asked this already but can you please share the part numbers fir the upgrades? I would REALLY appreciate it!

sleepin on Vitavon. They've had steel axles for a while that are a big upgrade over the traxxas steel axles. Managed to mangle my traxxas and hot racing 6061 aluminum parts in one season so I've switched over to Vitavon on all the upgrades. Wish I went that route the first time lmao 🤑

Another note. No matter what you do. You will get chassis slap when jumping from huge jumps! Like your terminator

What do you have to do to change it to 6s ?

Every site I check the HR metal steering rack for the maxx is on back order Everywhere

How are the tires ?

Which tires are those Rocky? Look wicked

Hi from the UK I'm getting mine on Saturday have you got any good tips for me. Thanks, Mr. Thunder Rc

Do you think the vitavon front and rear aluminum bulk heads from the original maxx will fit the v2?

What oil do you have in the shocks? 50wt and 80wt? Is that correct? Tranks and best Greets from germany Hamburg

Cool man good to know. i had to backorder mine from amain like a week ago. Also regular v1 wide drive shafts wouldn't fit? Like aftermarket long shafts for the last maxx?

This is in 6S mode right ?

Use the hardened pin set..

Can't wait your Tekno MT410 runs 🏴‍☠️🚀

I want one so bad!!! But I bought a tekno MT410 instead 🤪maybe next rig🤷🏻‍♂️

THUNDER!!! Is there an extender for the Maxx V2 with the CV steel driveshaft? Looking at the Hot Racing stuff but not sure which one fits. The CV driveshaft has a hole for the pin but it doesn't have any threads for screws. Apologies I'm kind of a RC noob. Appreciate it!

Have the M2C racing metal drive shafts came out. And what extenders do you have? Thanks, love the videos

Do you feel there was performance boost from the esc while still using 4s? You made it sound as if the vxl 4s was somewhat underpowered..I dont really want to get new battery packs at the moment but wouldn't mind swapping the esc.

Does the widemaxx billet suspension kits work for the v2 maxx

Do you recommend the hot racing hubs over the traxxas aluminum hubs

Pretty sure the steel drive shafts would bend to those sends

Whats the difference between the HR hubs and the traxxas part 8937X. im new to all this

Those are 3.8 badlands correct?

What tires are you running on the v2?

Where did you find the metal steering rack?

Hi, I wanted to know what kind of 17mm Hex you got for that modification. I missed the name or the link. Thank you.

What should I get the new maxx or the arrma big rock?

Links for steering hubs and extenders? Did you ever get the metal drive shafts?

Maxx roxxxx!!!

can you put a link where you got all your parts

M2C has no upgrade parts or any stock parts. Why?

Hey pretty cool I'm just getting back into this and just bought the wide maxx I don't see the links for those up grades is that still what you recommend I see this is a year ago

what about the servo or plastic spur gear?

Hey Thunder RC which ESC did you put in your Maxx V2?

Would the lighter oil float on top of the heavy oil inside the shocks? Could this be considered as two stage dampening?🤣 Any pros/cons to mixing oil like that?

Are those extended hubs compatible with hot racing aluminum drive shafts

Are your tires belted?

them drive shafts ever come out ?

I'd use 80 and drill an extra hole in the piston

Would you upgrade front chassis bra e
