Damn. Every time my RC starts tumbling out of control I'm always thinking : I hope I don't hit a car or a person 😂. Great job guys!

My neighbors son drove my 6s maxx for about 45min. He broke: motor mounts, steering rack mounts, cracked front and rear differential and got sand in them, and cracked front chassis. That thing has a lot of power. I stripped it down, rebuilt and was thrashing it again two days later. I love my maxx almost as much as I love my xmaxx

Nice to see it readily accepts a Castle system, because I’m considering buying a MAXX pre-roller so I can utilize something similar. The drawback is not being able to use Traxxas’s proprietary LED light system. 😖 Maybe not a deal breaker, but their integrated light system looks good.

When there is this much power, that wheelie bar needs to be longer and stronger to keep it from flipping. The stampede sticks our much farther and gives better control. Nice video MAN !~!!

I appreciate the humor and honesty. It was a hard hit, can’t blame the truck. Maybe the tires...

I'm gonna be putting in a Spektrum Firma 150a ESC and a Spektrum 4074 2050kv motor from my Arrma Felony into my Maxx. Not planning on running 6S. I was worried the motor mount wouldn't hold. Glad to see that'll be a non issue

Lol the intro I LOVE THE intros Brett! The tech deck on the RC surfboarder is funny. The Maxx needs maybe some weights up front to keep the front down. Rip the GPS and the front arm of the Maxx

I was gonna do that but my plan included a wing! Pretty cool!

You're still the best!

Some tips for y’all trying to make this Maxx go faster in a straight line without instant death of itself: We all know that Traxxas cars don’t have great tuning options, but if you can change the suspension setup, you can change it to fight against wheelies. (Different shock oils, springs, maybe pistons, what holes the shocks go on, etc.) A stiffer shock setup with lower ride height is what you should stride for. If you can put spacers on the shock shafts inside the shock bodies(under the pistons), do that. Increasing droop up front will allow the a-arms to travel downward a bit more so the tires will be in contact with the ground longer if/when the truck attempts to lift the front. Since the truck is a 4x4, you can move whatever existing weight on the chassis farther forward to help push down the front. Lower the center of gravity as much as you can. (Mount the esc lower, remove the extra abs plastic from the body, etc.) If you can mount the battery forward or rearward, mount it forward. If you can increase anti-squat, then do that. More outward toe up front (\ _ /) will make the truck pull straighter. Harder inserts in the tires will reduce ballooning. If you don’t want to unglue the tires to put in harder inserts, you can tape over the vent holes in the wheels and CA glue over the vent holes in the tires to fight against ballooning. Mounting a rear wing from a 1/8 or 1/10 scale buggy up front, and down low can help provide downforce up front to keep the front tires down. Like you said, a longer, wider, stiffer wheelie bar will help, too. Try that after you’ve tried all this. There are more things you can do to improve the setup for what you’re doing, but you can find info on that all over the place. If the truck’s tires are spinning or losing traction, you can put tire sauce on them. Keep applying it between passes; burn it in. Remember, these changes are to help the truck keep the nose down and go straight while going fast. This is not recommended for anything else. Car setup is different for each and every different situation. Hope this helps! -Ev

It's a 4x4 meant for off-roading why would you lower it to the ground....LMFAO that's like buying an E Revo 2.0 and trying to turn it into an indy car. Just use it as it was meant to be used and you won't have problems.

haha love the music and b/w footage when you broke it on that speed pass. Nice dramatic effect and excellent song. Who made that music? Well done. That setup looks brutal! :)

You have an awesome job!!!!

I was hit with the speed bug with my first Tmaxx by putting a .21 OS in there back in the day. The fun was short lived though as I started destroying the truck with all that crazy extra power. My slash on 3 is fun for a minute but I think if I want real speed, I'll build a drag car. These big trucks don't take kindly to high speed endos and neither does the wallet. I keep mine on the dirt now with speed I can control.

Now you need a wing or two for downforce lol... 6s seems pretty insane for most people. Glad you guys tried this so I don’t have to waste the money.

This is how I feel driving my 2wd rustler vxl on 3s. Pulls the front end up at 60mph no problem

That's what my Arrma Granite mega v3 done when I put a surpass hobby 4276 2200kv on a hobbywing Quicrun 10BL120 3s esc on a 19T pinion. It would do between 40 n 50 and if I floored it at those speeds it would wheelie n flip. Lol so I ordered the Long wheel base and turning it into the Kraton. I got the arms cvds rods ect basically every thing. And I'm using a diff body though. I got the Kraton 4s shells I got 5 of em diff ones some old n new from my other kraton 4s and my 6s kraton body also fits. I got the proline 2.8 Interco Super Swampers from proline on it as well. I absolutely love it lol. Now it's even better.. the swb chassis I'm going to build the outcast 4s with it. Already ordered everything last night plus some new Arrma skins for both of the builds.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 You crack me up man! Love how you guys experiment and get crazy with your trucks 🤩

Since it's the MX esc, you can adjust the throttle curve. I had to do that on my MMv1 (HPI Blur F360C) I put in my ERBEv2. It was just too violent for the first half of the trigger to be fun to drive.

Brett this is why you can't have nice things! 🤣

The problem is that the small size of the truck causes it to flip over easy. I recommend getting a 6s vehicle separately that is actually built it.

..........power is useless without control. Nice vid !

wonderful!!!

You need some sort of weight on the front end if you want to keep the front end down for steering and being able to pull that trigger all the way and get the full power and be able to control it .

WoooooW very cool

You should do the wide max conversion on this mini max lol. And add aluminum chassis brace , and aluminum Casters , aluminum steering hubs. And add some aluminum shock guards. Make it stronger 💪 chassis wise. Even though it's a tough truck already box stock it's always a good idea to toughing up basher rigs. You could also add a stainless steel chassis skid plate that covers the entire bottom of the truck to protect it more. I actually got one on both my older Kraton 4s and Big rock v3 BLX. And I got aluminum a arms aluminum full suspension from integy on both. And ppl say aluminum isn't a good idea for basher A-Arms because it could break the chassis.. well with those stainless steel skid plates iv added to them has completely protected the chassis ect. I haven't broken anything major on my rigs because of it.. now my other ones that don't have that stainless steel skid plate I have broken em in half.. so I high recommend a full bottom stainless skid plate. I'm adding two of em to my two current projects

Wow the drama of it all

Just saw that truck at johns hobbies shop on woodbine and Danforth Area Beautiful Truck though!!

No such thing as to much power!! Great Great run bro! Awesome video and presentation! You guys rock!

Damn, I just ordered my MAXX yesterday and already need a new motor and esc for it. 😂😂😂

This is A Project of A what Not to do unless you want to invest way more money into your RC quicker. Those high profile vehicles aren't really made for all that power. What's the purpose of having 6s when you can't even get close to full throttle. Half throttle than wheelie repeat steps a few times than breaks by curb or pole or something else. I just brought a Rustler 4x4 with a 6s blx system, came with a 4s battery, the guy who sold to me says man for what your going to be doing with it 4s is all you need. I'm not even trying to throw the 1515 2200kv MMX ESC in it. But I will say this this hobby is Great.
