Proline makes a standard style body post kit for the maxx with the thumb screw caps. It’s a solid upgrade and lets you run whatever body you want, then you don’t have to worry about the body popping off anymore.

I have the updated Maxx and a 2WD VXL Slash. They are both a lot of fun. The Slash is faster, the Maxx is more stable and much better on rough terrain. The Maxx is better in my opinion, but you can't go wrong with either truck. Great comparison video!

@The.JZA. Жыл бұрын
I used to have a Slash that I upgraded A LOT and one thing that frustrated the hell out of me was those wheel hexes. They’re just completely inappropriate for the amount of torque going through them. They need to update them to a star pattern or something because they strip way too easily. The number of times I had to throw out wheels that were still in great condition but had stripped out… SMH. That’s one of the reasons I ended up selling that car. I just felt like it was designed to fail so that you have to spend money on parts. I don’t mind buying new wheels when they wear out but I don’t want to have to constantly buy new parts just because of poor design.

Iv'e got the standard brushed 2wd slash as my first hobby grade rc couple months ago enjoying the hell out of it on 2s even fun upgrading it with lcg kit doesn't flip as much now and have been eyeing of the traxxas maxx or slash ultimate as a second car feel like the maxx wins out just because something a bit different to play with but my only gripe is i bought the ez-peak charger and it only charges upto 3s would it still be worth getting the maxx to just run it on 3s only until i wanted to go 4s?.

I have got a traxxas slash 4x4 for over 2 years now. I have had a lot of fun with it but now I am selling it and buying a traxxas maxx. I started on a rustler like 5 years ago but I got to the slash because it is 4x4. I raced a lot with my dad who has got a slash as well and for racing this is the car. what we missed is jumping, we know the slash can do it as well but your car will get damaged. if you want a slash and have the money, you should buy the ultimate because I don't and broke over 5 wishbones and on the ultimate it won't break as quick as the normal version.

I have a slash 4x4 vxl (not the ultimate) and a maxx. I really like the slash, its stock with the 18t pinion, a set of tyres and cooling fans. My maxx.... well, its geared up, 6s powered, all the suspension crap, gears, belted tyres on beadlock wheels, all the sensors and bluetooths. On gps it it gears out at 145kmh. I run an upgraded 35mm ally fan on the esc on that and dual 45mm ally fans on the motor and the thing never gets hot. Yeah the maxx is a lot faster, but the slash is more fun even though its stock. They're very different trucks in the way they handle. So its apples and oranges. The maxx, when asked can i jump that, answer is yes. The slash, its stock so is a lot slower, but it does those things called corners heaps better.
