    Thank you for taking it to the skate park and doing a bit of a bash. I was very curious to see how it did during a bash session! This gave me a feel for how it will perform! Sorry about your spur gear!

    I still have these M2C shock pistons sitting at home for my Sledge, need to install them already. Can’t wait to feel the difference. Your Maxx seems to be soaking up the impacts, nice run!

    Thank you for your ideas on improving the handling on the Maxx. I will definitely use your ideas because as much as I like my Maxx, handling can be improved. Subscribed!!

    What about sledge rears on all 4 corners? I put sledge rear springs on the rear of my wideMaxx, it helped alot

    What improvements did you feel the rear springs made? Are we taking handling on the flat or hitting big jumps?

    So I ordered 2 sets of long Sledge shocks today. I'll put them on the back and try them out, and then put them on the front as well to see how it compares having all 4 on there and let you know. You mention that the Sledge shock caps do not work on the Maxx. Is it the cap or the pillow ball that is the issue? I'm wondering if you put the Maxx pillow ball in the Sledge shock cap would it work?

    @@rcilluminati26 thanks yeah it is the pillow ball and you can’t swap the balls either. I have all 4 shocks on with about a 6mm stop inside the shock. Haven’t taken out yet but will let you know once I do.

    My ESC broke on me too! I was having issues since I bought it so I put my mamba monster x in. The only thing is idk how to power the front and rear light bar now since the power distributed can’t connect to the stock ESC. Do you recommend anything?

    You can get an inexpensive bec that you can power from the battery or possibly even power it from the receiver which should be 5v.

    For bashing and jumping, stock with heavier oil works fine but I was also running mine at a track and the rear worked like crap no matter what I did. The leverage on the rear shocks is all wrong. Fronts work well everywhere, rear is way too soft.
