@@runnerbaba I’ve broken both the upgraded front and rear hubs with the larger bearings and not like once or twice but 10 plus sets of front hubs and carriers. I’ve yet to break the rpm rear hubs and aluminum front hubs that thunder recommends. The stock drive cups I had were cracked by 10 battery packs through it, so I got the twice as expensive upgraded traxxas ones. A month or so goes by and I decide I want to redo the diffs so I tear it down to find my upgraded drive cups are splitting. After finally getting the hubs figured out I wasn’t just going to sit there and keep putting traxxas upgrade parts on if they were going to fail regardless. Reached out to our local hobby group and the xmaxx bashers all told me to get sleeves. So I ordered another 2 sets of traxxas upgrade ones which was $60 but I also got some aftermarket sleeves for $20 to put on them this time. It’s now been over a year and 100+ battery packs and I haven’t had a issue from them since

yep learned 20 yrs ago with hpi savage you can add all that metal but when you crash nothing gives,,, well it gives just takes out more , not only did you bend a arm you bent everything right up to your TVP ... and guess what ?? cha ching when that plastic a arm would have been the only thing that broke. KISS method and traxass parts are actually cheap, sent all my armma down the road on ebay .spent enough on M2C and it still breaks and is even more heavy.. had to stop heavy bashing my surface rc visa is maxxed out. but i like quads and planes , jets ,boats, too fyi you can pick up xmaxx motor and esc new for cheap on ebay . everyone is convinced they suck . not the best but hell run them till they die. if armma was smart they'd go like they did with 4s kraton . both exb 6and 8 i had were a money pit of bent parts crappy diffs . never buy the first version lol let them fix all the crap wait a yr. imo and you can't call xmaxx v3 they just put bigger bearings n the hubs. and if you buy one with the old thin bearings new just call them they''ll send you the new hubs etc foc.

Traxxas’s engineering department should be absolutely ashamed of themselves when it come to the stock servo and the tires (not sledgehammer) for the XMAXX. Absolutely disgraceful. I’m looking for a great replacement servo for the XMAXX, any helpful hints? Someone was telling me the Reefs 500 RAW was really good.

@@runnerbaba I’ve broken both the upgraded front and rear hubs with the larger bearings and not like once or twice but 10 plus sets of front hubs and carriers. I’ve yet to break the rpm rear hubs and aluminum front hubs that thunder recommends. The stock drive cups I had were cracked by 10 battery packs through it, so I got the twice as expensive upgraded traxxas ones. A month or so goes by and I decide I want to redo the diffs so I tear it down to find my upgraded drive cups are splitting. After finally getting the hubs figured out I wasn’t just going to sit there and keep putting traxxas upgrade parts on if they were going to fail regardless. Reached out to our local hobby group and the xmaxx bashers all told me to get sleeves. So I ordered another 2 sets of traxxas upgrade ones which was $60 but I also got some aftermarket sleeves for $20 to put on them this time. It’s now been over a year and 100+ battery packs and I haven’t had a issue from them since

Yes, I agree with you. They should have a metal Servo an air for a car this magnitude in price. Great server upgrade could be any fifth scale. Servo reefs are the best.
