Custom Built Maxx Slash!!! Way Tougher than Arrma!!!
This is my custom built Traxxas Maxx Slash and it has the wide arm kit installed along with some various metal hop ups. This Maxx Slash is tougher than any Arrma RC car that I have ever owned! Look at the slams and abuse it took from this bash! Unreal heights and some of the worst crashes I have ever seen. The result, a truck that is still not broken!!! Wow! Truly this Maxx Slash is a BEAST to be reckoned with!

quando fai il video sul traxxas slash maxx?
Outlandish!!! Those are the highest jumps in this channel's history. And more than 50% of those bad landing would have completely destroyed another vehicle from another company. Truly impressed with the Traxxas Maxx Slash.

Absolutely hardcore bashing! Love it man! Keep it coming! No one has sent the maxx slash like you have! I think traxxas needs to consult you for product durability testing!! Can't wait to see more!👍👍
It's a beefed up Mini Maxx. And the Mini Maxx was dam near unbreakable. I can see why this truck can take a Thunder ⚡ ⚡ Beat-Down! The Thunder has Spoken! great bash
I like the commentary throughout the video breaks up the jumping!!
That session was unreal! Maxx Slash FTW!
Ive seen you hammer some rigs but DAMN!!!! You should be the commercial for this truck. So glad you dont hold back. If a truck lasts a sessiin of yours then i know it will take what i throw at it. Great video.
This video with all those jumps and no major damage was precisely the reason I decided to purchase one.

really cool truck!!! I really like how simple and uncomplicated you always approach the whole thing. and just have fun with it. greetings from Germany ;-)
My boy created a circuit on his street from ramp to ramp lol I love it. Great video.!!!👍
What a great bash one of the most indestructible cars I've ever seen!!!
That’s awesome! I love your videos. Especially the Vekta and XMaxx
Those were crazy high jumps!!what a beating!
Words cant explain the shock factor of the height in the flight 😲😲😲😲 Insane!
It’s the most durable RC I’ve ever seen and that’s the highest jumps I’ve seen on this channel. But it shouldn’t crash so much. The air control and handling are lacking. Definitely needs bigger tires for jumping.
You made the best bash video on the new Traxxas Maxx Slash! I'm really wanting a short course truck and I'm in between Mojave 6s and the new Slash 6s. Your upgrades are dope brother. God bless!
Awesome bash bro!!!!
Can,t wait to get one now and do the mods. Thanks for the awesome video
Insane bash! 🤯🤘 Maxx slash is impressive 💪
Those were the highest sends lve ever seen !!🤩
Absolutely insane Bro , I’ve never seen any other RC take that kind of abuse with zero breakage. Those jumps were absolutely INSANE !! Awesome vid for sure 🤘🏼
Nice Frankenstein conversion, love the cut out body, that is crazy durable
That was a damn good episode brotha
When your mom calls you Dude, you gotta be a pretty cool family and y'all are the coolest I know. Happy Easter. Awesome video, bash and mod to the truck. Man that car is tough.

I enjoy your content. You attain MAD air. Today I jumped my Arrma Kraton 4s alnmost 30 feet double backflip...perfect landing on soil/lawn.....broke chassis. Outcast 4S almost same thing last month. I love my XRT and Sledge most for now. I have never had a Teaxxas break a chassis landing on all four tires on a lawn. I like Arrma, but from my erxperience Traxxas seems stronger, Peace.
15 years ago i watched a similar vid that made me buy a Traxxas Slash 4x4 Ultimate. after 50 sets of driveshafts i swore off ANYTHING Traxxas. I might consider a Traxxas in the future form this vid and hope my driving skills are 25% of Rocky's. There is no denying Traxxas has their plastic formula down.

@@trullmannThe maxx is a beast out of the box but it could be way better. I didn’t know before I bought it but it comes with a plastic spur. Stripped first outing! The Traxxas monkey metal one holds up just fine but go with a steel one if you can just to be safe. The driveshafts are also kinda weak. Go with steel! Traxxas sells them and are very good but needs additional parts to fit on right. Also it likes to chassis slap really hard. Thicker fluid like 70wt or modify the shock pistons! Other than that it will just keep on going and going! Out of the box it’s still a unit thoe. One optional thing to reduce the bulkheads breaking from really really big jumps is the m2c brace.
We need to see the camera gal in some of the vids! Get her doing some sends! She does a great job with the videos and representing you!

Yes, there are cheaper cars on the market, yes Arrma Cars are also awesome (i have 3s/4s/6s onroad from arrma), yes they dont handle perfect, but they are great fun. And of cause is Kamakazi running Arrmas. And you know the reason! Think a minute about it.... Because they are cool AND they have SWB (ShortWheelbase Stunttrunks)!

I wonder if the wide arms and the smaller tires vs a maxx or xmaxx are allowing for more body slap. Im guessing the body itself is taking up 90% of the impacts, saving the rest of it from being damaged .

Yeah when I saw Do RC build like this last month I knew he was onto something.... But bro that went massive! Get that body off there you need something that wont parachute it and loose control in the air as much. Kenny used a standard Max v2 looked good.... Your already not using the pop on body so you really can mount anything up creatively. Rad sends..... She still handles like a poop Maxx though, but for ramp sends and durability I can't hate that.... Everything is a compromise.
This guys loves every new RC that comes out lol starting to become click bait! Would much rather get an arrma Mojave 6s for this price throw on a couple of upgrades and it would be way tougher. Should do a video of this with the Mojave.
