Tell us what YOU think of the MAXX SLASH!

I feel like they missed an opportunity to call it the Slaxx.

I’ll stick to my Mojave 6s . This ain’t worth my money in my opinion . I didn’t like the maxx motor mount system , don’t want plastic driveshafts , don’t want slick tires , don’t want their electronics . Last but not least I don’t wanna upgrade like all my other Traxxas vehicles

way overpriced for what it is

*_Turn it into a 6S XRT!_*

You guys have an excellent video format. Well thought out and great audio. It will be interesting to see how this truck does over the next year or so. It actually behaves more like a sct than I thought it would.

time for a maxx slash drag car build.

I had a mojave 6s. It was a beast! I'd say these will be super durable too.

Been a follower and first time commenting. Really enjoy your vids and the father/son sharing the same hobby. Nice editing, effects and well spoken from both dad and son. Subscribed.

Not impressed just a nother slash rather buy a 1/5

Your montages are the best!🤩

I had one but ended up trading out of it at the hobby shop within 2 months of buying it. Within the first two weeks the esc needed to be replaced. Because it was brand new, I sent the entire truck back to Traxxas to get it replaced. That cost $65 to do. I then went out and bought a 6s Mojave and after experiencing that awesome machine, i quickly lost interest in the Maxx/slash. It is inferior in every way to the Mojave despite bring $80 more. Zero throttle control at low speeds which for $700 I demand. I despise vechiles thar surge and cog after the lightest touch of the throttle. For what it's worth, I did put the 4s system from the Maxx into the Maxx/slash to see if that made it drive better and it absolutely did. Significantly better throttle control and when swapping out the Spur gear for a 46 tooth, with the stock pinion gear, it hit 50 mph. This vechile should have been 4s. 6s is too much for it across the board and here lies the major problem with the vechile. It comes over-geared and over-motored out of the box and this greatly affects everything from throttle control to handling leading it to be very much inferior to the 6s Mojave which does not suffer from either of those issues. The last thing I will complain about is the lack of protection from debris. This collected more debris than any other vechile I have ever owned. It was terrible. The Mojave is not great either with debris protection but much better than this. Plus, on the Mojave you can buy some excellent inner-fenders from Scorched RC which once installed do a very good job of keeping debris out. The Maxx/Slash is significantly worse than my HPI WR8 which sits low to the ground. All in all, it needs a lot of work.

Great movie, great channel. 👏 👏 👏

It’s controversial because Traxxas leaked it themselves just to bring hype…

Dunno if anyone has pointed this out or not already, but the lower suspension arms are NOT Maxx arms. They have their own part number and are a slightly different design. The upper arms however are V1 Maxx arms.

You recommend the truck, with an insane price tag without having driven it, and with so much negative experiences out there from people actually ran them, how is that?? In a world where only traxass exists I'm sure it would be fine. But, there are other options out there. Traxass doesn't have the die-hard fans like they used to, they will and do buy other brands and either of the Mojave are a better performer AND value. After watching actual running footage like Razer RC I would be very mad if I picked this up off your recommendations, just saying.

It's great when it polarizes.

i love my Arrma Senton

Just bought the MOJAVE 4S and still have no regrets considering the prices involved. Just saying.

I have it. For the terrain im using it in, some stiffer suspension would be nice. Its normal height while stationary uses like half the travel. Bottoms out really easily.

Already got mine on pre order thanks for the update and stay safe

For me it's the price, here in the UK its 759 but a max is 599

Mine will be here tomorrow , that pathetic servo , is out first off !! Good video guys !

I agree the Maxx Slash should have been launched as the Raptor R, I think Traxxas missed that opportunity. Curios to see what switching the Maxx Slash wheel and tyre combo over to the E Revo makes a difference performance wise. Nice comparision content though.

i can't wait to get mine! thanks for the great video as always ❤

probably one of my favorite cars that traxxas has released

I can't wait to get my traxxas Maxx v2. Awesome video as always.

I feel like a 6s Rustler is Next‼️

The erevo is 1/8th scale. The sledge is a 1/8th scale, and the erevo was the same wheelbase and same size wheels. It was a silly thing from the original erevo era when the 1/8th class wasn’t fully developed yet.

Pick mine up Friday! Can't wait!

Too good? Lol. Traxxas fans are just brainwashed. The Mojave has been doing it better for less for years now. Lol. This thing doesn't exist compared to the Mojave.

It's awesome! I'm getting one. I have a Maxx V2 and it's amazing. I have a Slash Ultimate and it's amazing. They are both my most used RCs in my collection. A blend of both of those ... genius.

For me its just a maxx with a slash body and bumpers on it... its not a sct i guess you could say that about a lot of rc model variants adapted from the same core chassis but its not a slash even the name suggests its a Maxx..slash i think its viewed incorrectly by most but there's nothing wrong with a maxx with a slash body on it lol

Something I’ve noticed a long time ago is the fact that they call them “clipless” bodies. Maybe they should say “pinless” because like on the Maxx Slash even though there not hood pins they still use a “clip” system. Just a thought.💭

Nice quality

i think it looks really cool!

It run great on 4s, it power slide very nicely

Best review out there. Bought a green one and iam so happy

woow.. i m glad i found your channel. so entertaining.. subbed. keep those great videos coming guys. Maxx v1 with wide arms kit is hella stable. so much fun. and since a smaller Tub chassis like the Xmaxx. mini maxx is like the most durable RC right now. maybe you need to change the drive shafts and the spur to metal. but that s it. you are good..

If a regular slash is 1/10 how the hell is the maxx a 1/10😂

My local hobby shop will be around $969 cdn before tax. I'm not really seeing the value there, but I do love what traxxas has done. Maybe they'll 'slash' the price haha

The reason it's controversial is because it's handling, jumping is horrendous, servo and tires suck and it's priced like a premium vehicle which it definitely is not. If you want one, recommend waiting a few months when the people who care about performance are selling theirs.

u guys are great, glad i found the channel.

I got one and sold.my maxx themax slash is insane bro

It's controversial because they made yet another vaguely scaled short course truck that doesn't belong on a racetrack instead of giving us a basher proof summit version 2 that they sued arrma over for making a better version called the nero.

Great vid, big fan! I grew up rcing with my dad! So we relate to your channel! Who’s going to be the first to throw a Widemaxx kit on the Maxx Slash? That should be interesting 🤔 lol.

Should come with metal driveshafts that’s the only thing I can see ..👍👍👊🏻👊🏻

finnaly someone my age reviewing rcs keep it up

Looking to get another basher/grass capable truck. I have a classic TMAXX, a bandit VXL an erevo1/16, and a TRX4M. I'm torn between this Maxx Slash or a Maxx. Do you have an opinion which one is better all around? I'm usually driving on soccer fields, dirt/loose gravel, or my backyard grass. I've never been to a track, and I probably won't get into that yet. The TMAXX is a blast but way too big to run around the yard/driveway so i don't use it as often. The ERevo 1/16 is awesome around the yard but struggles with tall grass (bandit more so). Maybe i should just buy them all lol, but would love your opinion based on my usage which I one to get that'll be fun on grass and dirt, and maybe around the yard

I got it put the spacers in the front and it leavals out the truck 4 buck upgrade worth it and better springs and it's a beast

Hahah yes I got parts for my v1 maxx again lol I do t need to worry so much

LOVE it. Went through the first set of tires pretty quick. got some Proline tires I'm tryin out now

ordered a green one today!

The music is awesome

I just got my maxx slash with the rock n roll body can't wait to rip should be dry tomorrow.

Traxxas builds disposable rc cars , just a bunch if bathers to be sold broken on marketplace a year later

Controversial since its massively overpriced for what it offers, given the competition offers more for less the price I hear the handling is worse

1/10 slash is truly 1/8 scale but the max slash looks like 1/7 scale never the less can't wait to get one

Very cool video , some nice editing

I cant believe i walked into a hobby store told the guy to give me the most badass truck out and he sold me this pos

Buying my friends maxx for 300, still want a maxx slash but not right now.

Cause you can get either Mojave for less and have a way better rc. I love my trx4’s and my slash but yeah better brands for better bashers imo. Does look sweet I will save that but not worth the price tag

Scale is just math. 1/8 would equal a 16.5 inch wheelbase if using the original 1/10 Slash as a base.

It looks really awesome and tuff but the $700 price tag you don't even get a motor fan or Bluetooth module but you get all of the sensor's WTH Traxxas ??????????

Great video ! 👍

I will never understand why folks say clipless body then push 4 clip release buttons to detach the body 🤷

First time watching your videos don’t know if that older gentleman is your dad. I hope he is but I think it’s pretty cool how you guys decuss the vehicle back-and-forth.

Can we stop using clip less. The old style is post and pin. This is a hidden four clip system.

I got mine yesterday!!

Cant decide between this or a maxx for a rumbler.

I mean if the maxx is as you say nearly unbreakable then you'll never believe me when I say that I broke mine in one afternoon simply by hitting a curb and I broke the part in which the part number is 8932 on the front assembly and it's a serious pain in my butt but I will be getting the 8932X in the mail with is a blue aluminum variant to the part so I'll be able to get my slash fixed and ready for more stunts and stuff 😂

I like this truck. I would consider buying it if it didn’t come with such ugly graphics. Not sure why Traxxas doesn’t make it look like a real truck with sponsor decals on it and such. I hate all those wedge like stripes. It makes it look toyish. Hopefully it will come in a builder’s kit with a clear body.

You can get a 6s kraton exb for $700, metal diff cases, metal chassis braces, shock towers, etc. How can they charge 700 for plastic. It handles bad and rolls like crazy. I don't understand, and plastic is good in some cases but you can't tell me plastic is the same price as aluminum. Not to mention Traxxas electronics are garbage

Nice 👍🏾

I like mine . Better handling looks and price isnt too bad . It's alot like my maxx. My arrma 4s mojave can't hold anything on this vehicle

My m2c'd notorious will eat that thing for breakfast.

I like it but have the 4s Mojave already and the UK price is high

🔥🗣️

Good video fellas. I have a Slash, always wanted a Maxx and now this. Traxxas really knows how to keep the Rc heads coming back lol

Awesome coverage of the Maxx Slash. The low CG and 6s power plant really adds to the performance and stability. 🏁🏁

Great video, It is a cool truck, What would it look like and how would it handle with the Maxx wide kit on it.

Slash Maxx or UDR? I wonder what to buy, leaning towards UDR for the metal gear servo and larger suspension, but I don’t know for sure. Didn’t watch the full video before commenting, thanks for the detailed review!

Because it sucks,especially for,$700,not even a new platform, 6s mojave twice as good

Arguably with the scales it's the same as new omni terminator... called it 10 but more like 12 but it's bigger then some 12s I have... and your revo body is same size but wheel base way wider hense the size.... same as revo 3.3 vs hoss both 10 scale body's but the wheel base about double... but love the explanation and compassion dope vid

That is a 1/8th scale truck as well as the erevo the slash in 1/10 and is still on the the bigger side of 1/10

I really like this hybrid, but I'm completely sold yet.. Is the motor mount better than the Maxx v1?

6:48 if the maxx slash is 1/10 then what do you call the normal 1/10 slash?, also when it comes to scale its tricky with things like the revo since it dosent exist in real life, alot of people base scale on size when thats not how scale works

The ride height is wrong on those shocks. The arms have to be level or lower than center, never above center. All this talk about double the power doesn't mean anything when the driving conditions are 30mph at most. Allow me to remind you that the Velineon 3500KV is so powerful it will break its shaft right off if you get crazy.

Great Truck, new subscribe from me

We got some in where i work already, its an alright truck but not worth $700. It just drives like a big slash. Loves to roll over way too much. Youre much better off getting a normal maxx. All the cons of the slash come with this thing.

I have one they are bad ass

Price needs to come down. $649 at least. Then they can bring the UDR back down to 699.

Should of named it the slash X or maybe the maxx S

Hello.. I heard that "Shock Extender" won’t work with Maxx V2 arms.. can you guys please check that???

Traxxas Maxx slash I see why they call it that.because it's bigger then the original slash.

How are you able to justify paying $700 for an outdated TX that hasn’t changed in 10yrs, plastic hubs and hex’s, an extremely weak servo and servo saver, basic ESC and most importantly a 6s SCT that can’t drive like an SCT! It gets outclassed by the 4s Mojave! Maybe if it was priced at $400 it would be worth the price. Considering it needs new shocks, springs, servo, tires, 17mm hex’s a battery strap and more just to compete with anything else in the $700 price range! Traxxas keeps doing this to us and we just accept it as part of the hobby! It’s not right in my opinion! But hey if it makes you happy disregard what I said! It’s just a toy after all!

Leave it to Traxxas to throw together a bunch of random crap from their parts bins and call it a "NEW" thing... Leave it to the Traxxas fan boys like y'all to worship it like it IS some new innovative thing, too...

It only has 1 problem i can see. Its a traxxas.

5:57 Dude, take the wheel off, do it properly

Looks like it needs more suspension travel. Just doesn't look as realistic as the Mojave 4s.
