Proline makes a standard style body post kit for the maxx with the thumb screw caps. It’s a solid upgrade and lets you run whatever body you want, then you don’t have to worry about the body popping off anymore.

❤ Good channel. I'm from England but have been to NZ and absolutely loved it. Working way through videos of yours.
Had an Invictus 10mt as my first RC and loved it to bits. Then came my slash platinum and ohhh boy was that an experience. The power was insane the driving performance was always there and no mater where I was driving, I always had a blast with it
Great video! Depends on what you want to use it for but i love them both for different reasons and different styles of driving.

I have the updated Maxx and a 2WD VXL Slash. They are both a lot of fun. The Slash is faster, the Maxx is more stable and much better on rough terrain. The Maxx is better in my opinion, but you can't go wrong with either truck. Great comparison video!
Awsome video. I already have a Slash 4x4 ultimate and an Xmaxx. But a few week and I will buy a Maxx too 😄
nice video friends!!👍👍
For tracks i will choose the slash over maxx... but maxx is supreme!!! Nice video very entertaining 👍

Guys I was looking at taxxas stuff for the first time today. I thought it had to used with traxxas batteries and their special connections. I see you used an ec5 and a IC5 there. Did you wire in some different leads? Thanks
there are reasons i have a wide variety of r/c's 2wd and 4wd stampedes 2wd and 4wd ultimate slash, maxx v2, trx4 bronco, m41 plus some axial tamiya and acouple others i don't remember the brand of they are all fun and work great overall. but something i will say on the slash ultimate if using in sand the vxl even with esc and motor fans trying different gears it just needs a 1/8th scale esc and motor.
liking the Traxxas max bro..looks so cool very nice whanau. ..

Cheers Peter! It suure is a beast!
Only thing I had to do to my Traxxas/was the steering box gears went out so I fix those been through about 20 engines had to rebuild a transmission one-time cuz my bearings wind up going completely out and about to have to fix my shots been through four sets of tires jumping over my three-story house twice without breaking it and the original body I'm about to get it redone
Loved that race. Lol
slash for me,love the look of it😀👌👍👍
I used to have a Slash that I upgraded A LOT and one thing that frustrated the hell out of me was those wheel hexes. They’re just completely inappropriate for the amount of torque going through them. They need to update them to a star pattern or something because they strip way too easily. The number of times I had to throw out wheels that were still in great condition but had stripped out… SMH. That’s one of the reasons I ended up selling that car. I just felt like it was designed to fail so that you have to spend money on parts. I don’t mind buying new wheels when they wear out but I don’t want to have to constantly buy new parts just because of poor design.
I own the slash 4x4 ultimate and it the best thing i ever got.
is there a option to get the traxxas slash with xt90 ??? i only see it with the id connector ??? :) love ur vids ;)
I'm going to say the Traxxas Maxx because I had a 2014 stampede that I constantly have to work on

Same answer if comparing them stock? Maxx must be best part of $200 more expensive at the spec you’ve built it too. Thanks for the vids, and for getting me into planes now as well as cars, have started down the slippery slope 😁👍. The eachine Trojan is amazing. Cheers

Now you can get 2 in 1. New Traxxas Slash Maxx
My 6yr old wants to know if you ever did launch the Lasernut off the BIG black ramp in Hong Kong. I thought you mentioned in a previous video that you had or were going to, but then we never saw it. And, if you would give a shout out to Finn, it would blow his mind! We watch all your videos, but first time posting a message. We have 2 Wltoys 124019 (1 is upgraded to brushless), and 1 lasernut.
My favorite still the old 1:16 Traxxas Slash 4wd
I have both, the maxx is a better truck but it's also alot more expensive, as it sits, theirs is about 800. So they aren't really in the same price range. Love them both though, sometimes the slash is just so satisfying to drive.
Happy 10 year old birthday for my 2012 Traxxas Slash still going strong all original
Can you plz do a review on the skynetic havoc race plane
Am I missing something? you showed the slash break at the end then said you still haven't broken it.
Hello! I'm new in the RC world. xmaxx catch my eyes first, why it's because of the surrounding terrains we have at home. A bit hilly, gravely and steep. The real questions is. Is there's any RC car at least equal to the xmaxx(other than kratons). Budget wise. Thank you. Love your video!!! Big love from Malaysia!

Iv'e got the standard brushed 2wd slash as my first hobby grade rc couple months ago enjoying the hell out of it on 2s even fun upgrading it with lcg kit doesn't flip as much now and have been eyeing of the traxxas maxx or slash ultimate as a second car feel like the maxx wins out just because something a bit different to play with but my only gripe is i bought the ez-peak charger and it only charges upto 3s would it still be worth getting the maxx to just run it on 3s only until i wanted to go 4s?.

hey! Yeah for sure would still be fun on 3s! Until you get yourself a 4s lipo and unleash the BEAST!
I have got a traxxas slash 4x4 for over 2 years now. I have had a lot of fun with it but now I am selling it and buying a traxxas maxx. I started on a rustler like 5 years ago but I got to the slash because it is 4x4. I raced a lot with my dad who has got a slash as well and for racing this is the car. what we missed is jumping, we know the slash can do it as well but your car will get damaged. if you want a slash and have the money, you should buy the ultimate because I don't and broke over 5 wishbones and on the ultimate it won't break as quick as the normal version.

There was a time i was going to get the Slash, but the UDR was released about the same time i was going to get it. Got the UDR instead. Never had an interest in the Maxx or even the X-Maxx and still dont.
Maxx or e-revo 2.0?

These rc cars must bring to Peru Huancayo like the xmaxx 8s of 14.8v these cars are the maximum they must bring it yes or yes
