I couldn't help grinning when I read this! I am getting my X-Maxx from my LHS on the 9th of Dec and just like you, it's a Christmas gift from me to me so will also need to be wrapped up and left...

Hi all
Just to give some feedback, I am picking up my X-Maxx orange edition on Monday and am suuuuper excited. I told myself I would wrap it and leave it under the Christmas tree and only open it on...

Would you do normal washers over the body saver kit? Batteries I excluded from my budget for upgrades as it is something I can use in multiple vehicles.



Thanks for the feedback. I line the...

For my stock parts I have a LHS that sells them (can't ship Traxxas stock parts without going through a local distributor), but their aftermarket parts are limited, so all aftermarket I ship in from...

Not sure I understand the pins system? I was wanting t upgrade to a 30/35 gearing with some 1.5 mod gears from WFO rc racing. RPM axle carriers with oversize bearings is also one of those upgrades I...

I was wondering how well ventilated it is, but if it traps heat inside I am also not sure if I would get it. More heat = shorter run times which I want to try and avoid. Noted on the skid plate, I...

That would definitely be my approach as well.

Thanks for the feedback man. Perhaps then just a spare set of stock A-arms. Will give the badlands a go after using the Louise Pioneers that I already have.

What was the issue for you on the...

Good point, I just don't want my new rig to go up in flames :D

That's good to hear, there seems to be very mixed reviews on the stock electronics so I'm in two mind about upgrading it to a Hobbywing Combo, perhaps instead of going the MAX5/800kv route I should...

I've heard that the Pro-Line Badlands are quite harder than stock which could result in more damage when doing jumps?

So the list I had in mind was:
1. Dusty Motors cover
2. Aluminum toe links
3. RPM rear axle carriers
4. RPM threaded hinge pins
5. Pro-Line PRO-Arms
6. Body saver kit
7. 2085X Servo
8....

I bought my Revo 3.3 about 4 months ago and it also came with a loose slipper from the factory. Also, my gear mesh wasn't set properly and the engine mount positioning screw wasn't tightened down.
...

Awesome thanks! And electronics other than the 2085X servo upgrade, do you run stock ESC and motor? If so, do you run 8S? if so, have you had any problems with motor heat or ESC giving problems?

Hi folks
I am planning on getting the X-Maxx 8S new in a couple of weeks, and I've read some info on toe links breaking easily, hinge pins popping out, ESC's catching on fire, gears stripping etc.

I guess that is why we keep buying new RC's :thumbup: The UDR will definitely follow soon, but for now - a hardcore basher.

Thanks for the feedback, this helps a lot. I might just do the X-Maxx and add the Rustler 4x4 VXL as well if the budget allows, but from I've seen he X-Maxx is pretty simple to work on, and I do like...

Did you send it to the moon the moment you got to the BMX track?? All the videos I've seen on the X-Maxx talks around how it is the toughest and most durable truck out there, so this is quite...

When bashing and especially jumping I am not sure how much of that speed you will actually use? I geared my Revo's spure gear up from a 36T to a 42T to get a bit more torque out of it as that proved...

On my Slash I only run 3s, which is what I would then run in the Rustler as well. I also had the shock cap issue on my Slash which I replaced with the aluminium caps. But I will consider the Rustler...

What you say makes good sense. But as far as the one battery goes I am not too worried, because even if I have the Maxx, I would still end up buying 4-6 batteries for longer bashing sessions. I must...

That was my thinking as well, but then I asked myself, if I took both the E-Revo 2.0 and my Revo 3.3 out bashing, would the 2.0 give me more fun than the Nitro? I just don't want to spend the cash...

So it's been a year that I've been part of the RC hobby and I own a Revo 3.3 and Slash 4x4 VXL. I've set a goal a few months ago that come end November, I will have number 3 join the family. When I...
