that maxx CRUISES! i cant wait to get mine! i just ordered it tonight to add to my collection. going to be a fun ripper it looks like! thank you for everything you do Mark! i LOVE the videos!

Those plastic shafts are suprizingly strong and durable. I finally upgraded mine to have the better axles. I keep em as backup if ever needed. Only problem they ever gave me is those tiny c clips coming off the joint pins.

Very helpful review. The longer wheelbase definitely improves the wheelie problem the V1 had.

Replace the plastic battery strap with some velcro straps and that pack will fit no problem!

I wish we had a place like that to drive on.

Pleaz review the panda hobby tetra x1 6x6

Cell count doesn't actually determine power... it helps with heat. You can make the same power off 1s it would just need 6x the current (excluding inefficiency) to make it. Reality is that all that current draw will heat everything up far more which means you are losing power to heat generation and need more than 6x current. Then there is the electronics and there ability to handle the current and heat. So it's just easier to make power with more voltage. This is why Tesla is still kicking ass on a 400 volt system vs 800 volt systems being out. The 800 volt will be more efficient at the electronics (not at the motor though due to resistance being higher offsetting current. A high volt system needs a high resistance motor to turn the same rpm as a low volt low resistance motor though there are ways to have lower resistance while not increasing the kv rating). ... So, 4s vs 6s isn't going to be much of a power difference if any so long as the gearing is for the same "potential" speed. That is to say, the 4s system is geared higher to match the same unloaded wheel speed as the 6s system. Then the 6s will just be more efficient and safer for the electronics all else equal.

6S is going to give a good bit more torque (assuming you swap out the motor with the bigger Traxxas 6S 2200 kV motor). Acceleration will improve but top speed will not, as you say, since the gear ratio does not change and the max RPM of the 6S motor is lower.

@KTMcaptain

2 жыл бұрын

@@nvl2691 that’s why I said the wheel speed is matched and the resistance of the motor changes. Higher voltage typically of companies a higher resistance motor. So actually it doesn’t produce more torque. Just like my example of the 400v Tesla vs 800v cars. There is far more to power and torque delivery than voltage.

The planned obsolescence with the bodies not fitting is hilarious 😂

Broke the plastic shafts on mine 3 times upgraded to metal on my maxx. I just got mine over the summer absolutely love it. Wasn’t to excited when I seen traxxas came out with a v2 of it but wouldn’t trade mine in on 1 at all. Im currently in the process of putting a 2200kv 6s in mine. But i was just “testing” a new battery in it. Aka just playing around and i was running full speed and nailed something I had a few times before and seen it wasn’t turning. I mangled my front end. Snapped the front balk head in half broke the shock tower and front brace. But my front dif and drive shafts are fine lol. My buddy has a e revo 2.0 and we bash all the time.

You should do 6s on this, 4s is not to much power compared to e revo

E revo 2.0 with a few mods is awesome.

That was funny… “Melissa go get the rc cars at the FAR end of the field😂” Looks like you guys were havin fun with some fun rc cars. My next 1 is the maxx v2 thanks for the review 😀

I got my max last March and 2 batteries. But both batteries took a crap on me so I haven’t ran it since late April early may.

Try putting extra wide spacers on the wide Maxx it's better than ever

Nice review Mark. I think it’s time for me to buy the V2 Maxx. I didn’t love the V1 out the box when I saw it so opted out. This one comes wider with better tires. And it’s a bit longer. My Xmaxx is too big a lot of times for bashing in the spots I go so I might sell it and keep the lipos and get the V2 Maxx. It should be a perfect size. I’m hoping for a Erevo 2.0 update. Call it a Erevo 3.0. My idea for that if I were in charge, convert to single Xmaxx sized servo, remove the rear link and go with like a true track setup, build in some sort of suspension stops so the shocks don’t get over worked

Plz always mention always read the manual for beginner maxx v2 is my first truck i learn alot from manual. I never knew about diff and so thicker diff oil for higher mah and get less skids

Great vid, new max is cool, but the way I look at it if you have any Traxxas you can't go wrong, or any hobby grade R/C for that matter but Im a Traxxas fan.👍

Why is there no travel with these trucks?

Looks love it pulls the wheels up in the dirt pretty good

You should do the exact same jumps with both MAXX’s for a real comparison!

I mounted Louise MT Cyclone wheels which have an offset. Together with the WideMaxx Kit its almost impossible to flip it in a turn. Talking about the V1.

If they phase out the old chassis like they did with the Rustler 4x4, I feel bad for anyone with the original that busts a chassis, or even loses or breaks a battery hold down. Unlike with the Rustler 4x4, converting the original Maxx won't be cheap since you'll need a new body too. Get those spares while you still can, boys!

Hello. Thank you for your video. The place is so beautiful and your comparison useful. I own a e-revo 2.0 and a Stampede 4x4 VXL. Do you think it is worthy buying a Wide MAXX ? I am happy with my e-revo 2.0 but I don't think driving the E-Revo is that much funny. I think it's too heavy and too easy to drive. Except the big torque and the acceleration, I think the driving of a e-revo 2.0 is quite like driving a large boat. Even if it belongs to a lower category, I kind have more fun driving my Stampede that is lighter and harder to drive.

If you guys don't want to spend 110 buck on new maxx steel shafts you can custom fit old revo and e revo palstic shafts to fit you wide maxx, thats what I run, just dont let the screws back out to far on the swingarms or it will bind up your shafts and break them. think there 10 or 12 bucks each.

To be honest your USA delivery was probably sent out 1st & then our delivery. Then we probably had it 1st because I hear a lot of delivery’s into USA are stuck in ports & customs. I’m guessing we just got ours through customs quicker than you did. All you should be thinking about is… “Am I going to buy it?

I would buy the new maxx. I have a v1 widemaxx and an E-revo 2.0. I love them both, but I use the maxx more often. And this version is even better than mine. The E-revo has a lot of electronic issues. I replaced every electronic besides the receiver within one month of owning it. Plus, It tends to run hot and you need to give it breaks to cool off. I've seen the motor well above 200 degrees. The maxx motor wouldn't go above 200 even if you're running it really hard on a hot summer day because it has a heatsink and fan. The E-revo is more fun but you can't be hard on it because it will break. Your ownership experience will be more pleasant with a maxx.
