I’m very very disappointed. I don’t understand what’s happening with Traxxas, the new models are big fails, the RaptorR, now the MaxxSlash… It’s like they don’t test their models before selling them.

Don't get me wrong, Arrma makes my all time favorite RC, and the Mojaves are both incredible trucks without doubt, I actually think the 4s is better overall than the 6s Mojave. But let's not pretend not to notice how fast the Maxx slash is, it doesn't parachute, it's rock steady at high speed, and in this video appears to be as durable as you could ask any RC to ever be.

What a nice comment, thank you! I understand the struggle trying to justify rc spending with the wife as well, seems to be a universal part of the hobby hahahaha.

Man that ☀️ 😂looks up “ cloudy 🌥️ as heck “ traxxas different kind of tough , rubberized plastics. My first hobby grade rc , Blackfoot maiden run got run over by a bmw , totally destroyed, we bought traxxas bullet , thats there first tough rc I think

Man the bullet DNA found its way into the Maxx Slash I'd say. I can't believe how tough it's been, especially with how fast and heavy it is. It's surprisingly heavy even considering it's size.

@@Rek_Rc for sure , the bullet looked similar to rc 10 but it was very durable for the times . Same with the traxxas maxx you wouldn’t think they weight so much for a plastic RC , they’re a solid design for sure. Probably used some science to come up with good HCG chassis . Watching You guys with sct , I got both my Mojave’s up and running, I’m trying to save the 4s guy keep it shinny but I want put 6s esc in really wake it up . Once I do that shelf queen days are over . You should try fix that body for bashing , save the new one for when you put it away . Drill holes and use zip ties to stich like repairing dirtbike fender . Body probably still looks good for videos and bashing

Great video

Thank you so much! We had a blast making it. Though the part where it got hit by the car was a bit tense for a few minutes,
