Yes sir just got done restoring my 25 year old Tmaxx was no problem getting parts 👍

Did you ever get into it? I've been into RC for a long time and some of the most fun is going out with friends and family to bash / race.

If you wanna start rc I recommend getting a traxxas slash 2wd it’s cheap and good for beginners

Do it!! Your Wallet will hurt though lol 😂

If u decide to go into it brace yourself, you are never gonna stop upgrading your rc XD

It’s worth it

Stop in say high as we build a new Rc channel V&B speed thank you

Stop in say hi 2 V&B speed a new rc channel ✌

I saw that! Was a little surprised he didn't like it as much. He mentioned the steering being a little worse with the longer chassis and I agree with that, it does feel a little reduced, but I didn't think it was great to begin with. -Brett

Well, with the price finally being reasonable it's inevitable I'm going to get one at some point!

I am curious about how the original max does handle I bought the max 2.0 I was late to the ball game🤣 I like the bigger trucks I actually bought the sledge sldges down at the moment the maxx is never gone down funny But yes I think I’m gonna try to buy my son the original max if I can find any of them if there’s any left because I am curious I would like to drive that truck I just would love to have both versions to be honest

Who tf is Razor??

@@jeremiahlozano8484 Razor RC. He’s definitely one of the best on KZfaq. He doesn’t go as big as Duperbash, RC Dude 81, or Commander Astig but he still goes big and drives very well as well as gives honest reviews and is a great mechanic. Keep in mind the guy also buys practically every RC for bashing so he can do good comparisons.

Congrats LaRon! -Brett

So it's OK for newbies to buy this truck like me?

@@DUNGSTA Get the M10 rival, it's much more durable. It's almost indestructible.

@@FarmerFpv you promise?

Shoot. Rustler 4X4 VXL vs Maxx 2.0? That is a tough one. They are both beasts in their own way, one a little bigger and more capable in rougher terrain. Bigger trucks need more space though, bigger tires cost more and 4S LiPo's cost more than 3S. Not a bad decision to have to make; you win either way! -Brett

The rustler 4x4 is an animal! I have one and a v1 Maxx. They're both awesome trucks.

Which one requires less upgrades and better on grass?

@@DUNGSTA short grass is fine for any rc. But tall grass isn't a good idea for any rc. Tall grass is like forcing the truck to plow through a wall of Mudd.

@@RobertNES816 so which one to get? My first rc.

Often we keep the car in the video room for later use (video or photoshoots), but often we send the vehicle to the retail store to be on display for customers. Less common we sell the car at our swap meet or we just give it away. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies Awesome, Thanks Brett!

@@AMain_Hobbies well if you're just giving em away......lol I can give you my address Well worth a try I guess

Interesting! That would make for a great comparison video. With your Maxx overheating, did you change to a larger tire diameter? Is the motor heatsink fan still working? Are you letting the truck cool after driving, before driving again? The Maxx 2.0 comes geared down 1 tooth compared to the original Maxx so I'm really surprised to hear about overheating. -Brett

😂 👍

Bingo! I started with a stampede XL-5 as a kid and all I wanted was a nitro. Years later 3 nitros later and settled on a Maxx v2. Done with the hassle I just want to charge and go 😂😂

Electric is cool and all but nitro is awesome just takes lots of dedication 👍

Merci! -Brett

Get one, you will love it.

Thanks David! -Brett

Amazon 👍

@@chrisricotta7063 I already changed out stock electronics(HW Max8)/Motor, axles, tires, gpm springs and shock oil, bellcrank, bearings, aluminum c hubs and carriers, and probably a lot more than I can remember here... lmao... then I went and bought a kraton 8s(Xmaxx on the horizon)... bashing like a lunatic, now! 😆 🤣

Put The wide kit on it. Or you could easily turn it into the new max

@@Ohwell423 It doesn't need it. Watch Razor RC's videos on the old Maxx. Wider stance definitely doesn't mean better handling.

@@nvl2691 but it's nicer to have

@@TheNamesArif It reduces your turning radius and increase body roll, as well as introducing excessive chassis slap. A good tune on a standard-width Maxx will outhandle a WideMaxx and won't roll either.

@@nvl2691 With the widemaxx kit or without it, I’ve yet to break a chassis or anything plastic besides a servo and 2 driveshafts. Traxxas tires are garbage so I’ve went through 3 pairs of those. One motor also. Couple bearings. It’s took a better beating than my Mojave

Really surprised to hear they broke in 2 days. Was the break at the driveshaft ear where the metal coupler fits in the hole on each side? -Brett

👍

That is awesome! Good choice. -Brett

Keep on ripping 👍

Is it all you hoped for?

Probably Maxx V2. If the terrain is really rough and chunky then the Sledge; the extra size and bigger tires from the Sledge will handle this terrain better. -Brett

I tried, the servo is still weak and slow.

Me too they service is excellent

Call our customer service before you order next time and let them know (with proof) that the price is lower elsewhere. Just don't tell anyone I told you. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies is this some sort of secret tricks

Love your conversion videos, very thorough!

@@angrymelon Thank you so much

I haven't driven the Maxx or the 2.0 because Traxxas has left a bad taste in my mouth with their history... but I can't deny that everybody says regardless of if this thing handles well or not it is one of the toughest RC's of all time. Did you see Razor RC review? He actually said he likes the way the original Maxx handles better than the new one! He said with the added length and width makes it's much harder to turn and doesn't handle as well. I want one but two things are turning me off: how horrible it typically looks when it lands, and Razor RC saying it is the worst handling monster truck he owns and he owns every single 10 and 8 scale monster truck! 😱 another thing is I've been doing this hobby for only about five years and as much as I used to like tuning RC's I don't have the time I once had but I must say I'm happy that Traxxas it's finally listening to the community and we didn't have to wait 10 for an update!!!

@@williamperri3437 I haven't driven either one either I want to but I can't afford smother RC right now. I have bought to many recently. And if anyone is wondering the 2 maxx I had for my videos I parted them out when I was done I didn't make a profit but I came close to breaking even. But for me I just wanted to make the videos. I'll check out Razor RC.

But Goodluck getting a body for the v2 they're sold out everywhere. I'll keep my v1 the way it is for now.

Which is better ?

Yeah, the Talion is a good truck! It's a very low riding, low cg truck vehicle, intended to be fast! It's very different than the Maxx, so that is a good compliment to your r/c arsenal! -Brett

Yeah, you should be able to do that. You'll need the shorter upper and lower arms, driveshafts and steering links. -Brett

+1 👍

Yeah, they've served us well. They're very flat and rigid belted tires, so they stay flat the whole time. We've only used them to bash around in dirty parking parking lots, but performance was always good and much improved over a nobby tire on that surface. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies Cool. Is there a specific Sweep Racing model of wheels/tires that are fit for the Traxxas Maxx?

@@flhandster4395 No, they only offer the one size, with 17mm hex. Have you checked out 1/8 buggy tires? It's another on-road option with shorter tires that are more narrow. www.amainhobbies.com/jconcepts-speed-claw-belted-tire-premounted-w-cheetah-speedrun-wheel-white-jco3113-19/p1126937 The Sweep tires are larger diameter, so it's like gearing up the motor. The 1/8 buggy tires are shorter, like gearing down the motor. In either case, you may need to re-gear the pinion gear once changing tire sizes to keep the motor/esc from overheating; it just depends on your driving style, how hard you drive, the surface you drive in and the ambient outside temperatures. -Brett

Depends on capacity of lipo and Conditions but 20 to 30 mins from a decent lipo.

There aren't any available right now that I know of but I imagine in time there will be. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies thanks I'm going to try and use 2 of the original and make it work.

👍

Anything 3S capable should do the trick. The VXL systems from Traxxas work great, so does this Castle system we used once in a Monster Slash conversion a few years ago: www.amainhobbies.com/castle-creations-sidewinder-sct-waterproof-combo-w-sensored-1410-motor-3800kv-cse010-0123-02/p618580 Here is our Monster Slash video if you're interested: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q5eKmaRzpqnemnk.html -Brett

What you mean ? The 1st batch sold-out?

Its a fun truck going home today to bash

Date estimates are looking like Jan 20th for the yellow version at least: www.amainhobbies.com/traxxas-maxx-widemaxx-1-10-brushless-rtr-4wd-monster-truck-yellow-tra89086-4-ylw/p1386247 -Brett

It'll will be there soon, but its been damaged in "shipping" and needs new left front A arms. LOL

No, not anymore. It originally came that way and then Traxxas started adding it installed to the trucks. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies ahh because i want to install the hobbywing max6 to it but i don't know if the traxxas voltage amplifier will fit into receiver or to esc but i think there is not enough pins in it, thats the problem that i need to fix. Maybe there will be the adapters for it but still looking for it

@@stradale1310 Yeah that LED module won't plug into the MAX6 and I don't know of any adapters to make it work. You'll need to figure out a custom solution or don't use the lights. -Brett
