Awsome review

This has more realistic tail pipes than some new cars.

the red one is absolutely beautiful.

I almost cried when you took the body off at the end 😭 but yes it is a fun car, I'm a huge MAXX fan but I drove my buddies Corvette and yep very fun, I definitely need a road car now!!!

The body looks so solid

Nice I love a Traxxas release

its my 4th 0ne i have 3 2.0s i put 6s in my 3.0 fits perfect with a little modifing the chasis love the new clipless body also

It's a waste of money in my opinion and it can't even get to the claimed 30 mph on the optional gearing, get a HPI RS4 sport flux for the same price and it's brushless (70 mph), also you can't fit aftermarket 1/10th bodies on it because the wheelbase is too long.

They could have used double sided tape - but that would add a weird gap. The rear of the body curvs under the bottom of the car - and there's no good way of moulding that in a vaccum form. Detailed bodys from brands like Killerbody, Pandora or ABC also use separate bumpers. Partly for that reason. I think Pandora has scale body kits too. :P

Hummm one small detail you left out how hot that brushed motor got after you thrashed it

My snap on one came with the headlights.

Make a video of upgrading this car to brushless pls. Tq

1) Other then the longer chassis, longer steel center driveshaft, front/rear driveshafts w/ outdrives, the larger diameter wheels with wider offset, and the parts related to the body mounting system, ALL (from what I've been able to determine) other parts are the same as those used on the 2.0 (and, to be honest, while I haven't yet checked, the front/rear driveshafts might also be the same). 2) The motor plate is NOT compatible with ONLY the 72T spur...it IS also compatible with the 70T, 62T, & 55T spur gears. Yes, Traxxas only included a pinion chart in the manual based on the 72T spur...but, the chat for the other spur gears is found in the 2.0 manual, which can be downloaded. Upon opening my 3.0 box, the first thing I did was swap the rest Electronics for the Velineon brushless system, and the stock plastic motor mount for the machined motor mount (compatible with BOTH the 2.0 & 3.0) from HR. Other that that, the car has been a blast...not a "total blast", but definitely a "blast". The 'problem' is probably that the Velineon's 3500kv motor isn't powerful enough and/or the gearing needs to be changed. I've got the 70T spur on the way, and will be testing that (on 2S & 3S) with the stock pinion. Depending on the results of those tests, that will determine how I continue (higher kV and/or higher tooth-count pinion). The "goal" is to be running on 3S, not 2S.

I'm running 5900kv, max 10sct esc with 29/62 gearing. I'm running 70 with no temp issues. I may go down a tooth or two on the pinion just to get a little low end power back. Otherwise, super happy. 3s regular daily bashing is perfect.

Quick question about the UDR and the batteries. I don’t know how else find this info out other than to call Traxxas themselves. So if I run two 3-cell lipo batteries in a UDR. Is that more voltage and MAh than running a single 4-cell lipo battery in the UDR. I ask because I am trying to figure out what has more speed and a longer run time for my UDR.

@PoPGaming-yp5cs

3 жыл бұрын

If you’re running them in series, two 3s batteries will provide 6s voltage to the motor. However, they will both drain simultaneously, and you’ll only get the effective run time of one 3s. If you’re running the batteries in parallel, then you have the voltage of only one 3s battery, but the batteries will drain half as fast, doubling your run time but halving your voltage. 2x3s in series is likely what you’ll run (I can’t think of a car with parallel circuitry out of the box) which will provide you with 50% more voltage than 1x4s. If your 3s cells are smaller than your 4s cells, you’ll get a shorter run time. If they’re the same size, you should get roughly even run times.

Doses it comes with the batter

It's cool and all but why is it brushed for this price? Not even a TQi Radio? I feel like Traxxas just gives you a scale body for a ridiculous price point.

Even in rc Chevy is slow

Maybe nobody cares but I am done with Traxxas. I am super disappointed in my Maxx, I have spent way too much money to make it dependable and I don't even bash that hard. I mean, there was just so much not right with it from the start and it was expensive! Besides the plastic driveshafts, the electronics are complete garbage. The radio that they come with is garbage, the servo has plastic gears and died shortly, the servo saver is weak, and I'm sending out my motor and ESC in a few days for a motor failure that fortunately is under warranty. I also had to replace those stupid wheel washers. Traxxas is not getting another dime.
