My biggest complaint with this truck has been how much dirt it collects in the chassis. I also agree, it should have came with the sway bars from the factory. That being said, I have really enjoyed driving mine and despite hitting 60MPH I have yet to roll it on the street. Its not a perfect rig but I thought it was a lot of fun!

Traxxas looks like they’re releasing sway bars as an add on, but I agree with you.

picked up a arma mojave 4s today... been watching videos n comparing the maxx slash to the mojave's ... Only advantage i se with the maxx slash is the body and body mounting system. Price is pretty steep for what you get. shoulda been priced between $600-650

The body rubbing on the front outside tire could cause roll. 100k diff fluid in the front may create some push in the corners

It is based off a Maxx. The Maxx does not handle good either. You would think it would be better lower to the ground but it is not that much wider than the Maxx. Looks fost tho

I disagree - I consider my Maxx a dual contender - I had my Wide Maxx at 72 MPH for speed runs and now its back to basher mode. Its done super speed on runs and bashes like a beast. Although the turning radius is quite long and painful. With that being said. You Can probably nail 80MPH with this MSLASH on nothing but pinion and spur upgrading but it will never be a Maxx Style basher. Well not the way it is now. If they pull out some trickery and somehow release A lift kit for this MSlash then that would be a major game changer as far as dual contenders go. TRAXXAS CAN YOU HEAR ME ?

Yeah I watched a few one guy said it goes up on 2 wheels a lot but its controllable? What?? Most are running on a rc track no where near full speed guess I lucked out that the track was busy and I really got to run it because on a slick track it slides around great but how many people do that?

I moved the rear shocks to the front and the front shocks to the back with stock Maxx rear springs and what a difference it is a Willie machine now Handel's so much better. It lands jumps better. I have a vid up.

When I seen Santa Maria run his the first day I said I'm Not a fan - Thing ain't that great at all. You confirmed it as well. Its Not a basher anyway. If anyone would rather drive this than a Maxx or Hoss or Sledge then good for you. Ill stick to my 3S Senton and 6S Mojave that already suck at bashing too. LOL

Usually the udr trucks have a solid rear axle so you expect the roll this is all independent based on the x maxx chasis I really thought it would turn better the xmaxx is way off the ground and doesn't flip like this I will see what I can do to dial it in makes me wonder if that's why the factory had no pressure in the front springs to make it not flip have it sit on the ground? Sure is wierd if you do that the tires will hit the hood makes me wonder.

I appreciate the honest review. My first thought when I saw this was why would anyone get this instead of a UDR or Baja Rey. Making a monster truck chassis into a SC truck just seems like a bad idea from the start. It looks like the shocks are way over-dampened from the video. If that's the case some lighter oil might make a big difference in handling. Doies this have a center diff?

In my video I bashed mine as hard as I could, got it to 57 MPH, drag raced it, and got it ran over by a Mercedes and it kept driving like nothing happened.

All the videos I've saw the handling was suspect. The ones it handled good they were driving pretty slow. All i see is the bouncy rear suspension. I'm surprised every time it's not mentioned. Off bumps and jumps the rear bucks and swaps then flips.

To me it’s such a clumsy truck. I almost feel bad for it. It wants to go but just tips over so easily and so difficult to even stay straight at times. If you were racing on a course and everyone had one it would be fun. But there are so many better options for the price holy moly get a Sledge for crying out loud please lol.

I can't imagine much south of a jelly filled balloon handling worse than a Xmaxx. Add in the bonus of the auto removing body every other crash and i get more exercise driving my Xmaxx than i do at the gym. I have both Mojaves and they jump pretty decent. They fly and land predictably if you hit it right. They will traction roll if you really go in hot but they do their part if you do yours. I'll drive one tomorrow to find out in person but in video form it's not impressive. The only thing it does as well seems to be collect dirt and grass under the body, lol. Finally if Traxxas released new rigs as often as competitors folks would be more honest and critical. It's just so rare to get more than new bodies on existing chassis and BOLD NEW COLORS that Traxxas fans go nuts over anything new simply because it's new. People were paying $1200 plus for that snap on toy and $1500 for ultimate shiny stuff ffs. I am neither a hater or fan. I buy what i want from whoever makes it. I have rigs from all the big names and several small ones but i own more Arrma and less Traxxas. Traxxas last 2 new rides have been versions of trucks Arrma already made pretty good. This and the Traxxas Kraton. If this would have been XRT based and 8s then I'd been first in line to get mine yesterday because nobody else has done that yet. I have a SBR 2.0 and it's a great scale sct but doesn't bash well. Instead i ordered a Super Rock Rey 2.0 today since it's on sale for $599 right now. I'm hoping it'll be a better basher than the SBR 2.0. Even if it's not i won't destroy a $300 body finding out. I'm hoping to run 8s Backflips on it since there's no body for them to scrub and that they'll give better air control. I don't want or expect backflips from a sct or rock racer but do wanna be able to point the bumper how i want while in the air. For $600 i can't think of a reason not to. Sorry for the novel, it's just refreshing to hear honest takes from folks who spent their money as opposed to those who got it early and or free. I appreciate the honesty. First time here but not the last.

Traxxas is also not going to be making a fan for the motor

The front shocks are useless. The trucks are shipped with springs that are too short. Even with full preload you get slap. The front dives so bad under braking that it will pitch left or right depending on what hits first. The rears are too short also. They just added shock extenders for the rear. Way too cheap out and reuse old shocks. The only new parts on this are the chassis and the tires. The rest is V1 max and sledge parts. I removed all the stupid stickers also. First thing I did. Looked dumb af. The tires aren’t really good for most surfaces and are too heavy. You need to spend 480$ to get the Maxx Slash to where the Mojave 6s is out the box. The aluminum parts and the upgraded parts. It’s insane the slash was shipped this way. It’s just a straight money grab. This thing could’ve been so much better out the box, but then Traxxas would lose money not selling you needed parts just to actually drive it. It doesn’t handle well, doesn’t jump well, tips super easy. They at least could’ve given us the UDR servo with metal gears. But instead a plastic box with plastic gears. I’ve already had the motor thermal on 2 4s packs and was 55 degrees out. This thing is going to cook when it’s warmer out. I cut the cables so I can run Ec5 connectors and the battery tray is tiny and only allows 48/50mm max height. It’s designed to run 2 5000mah Traxxas batteries. Who wants to run those overpriced turds. 140$ for two 3s batteries. I paid less for 2 quality 6s 6000mah 120c. I’m with you man. This thing is all hype right out the box. Your front tires will start to wear a hole in the body. Mines messed up a little after 4-5 hours. Wait until you run your a little more. The front skid between the arms gets wasted on everything. Even small transitions it bottoms out.

@@L2theWcarscoffeelife you know what, i take it back, you could jump this thing because its a basher, just look how its made, the Maxx from which it comes from is quite durable because it has been designed for bashing, you can also put thicker oil in the shocks for large jumps, my point is its not in the same group as a UDR because its a basher made for bashing

its a lcg chassis not made for bashing it has very little suspension travel thats why its supposed to be a udr might be based on a maxx but also the slash its dropped to the ground with no travel you can jump it all you want your just hitting the chassis I dont know why everyone thinks or wants every rc ot there to be a basher this is not for skate parks do what you want but good luck the dang tires hit the hood as it is on the ground did you not hear how hard it slammed on my little jump?? definetly not a basher see Earl Moorheads comment @@harlyquin

@@L2theWcarscoffeelife Cool, and thank you very much for your speedy reply, 1st off just to be clear im not a basher, i only own 1 car that is a basher and i dont even bash it, i have an Arrma Talion which i run on 4s cos thats fast enough for me, i own mainly scale trucks (baja reys, smt10, Trx4 and so on) you can see them on my channel if you like, 2nd - like i said before you can put thicker oil in the shocks for normal jumps but if you jump any RC car high its gonna bottom out on the chassis no matter what amount of suspension travel you have, cars are designed to do that and thats why alot of bashers have flat/LCG chassis, also i dont see Earl Moorheads comment, not that i need to i know im right little fella, but thank you very much for this back and forth, it has been most enjoyable 🦄

glad I found your channel

You got high and tight (almost)… that’s a haircut for you guys that don’t know…

Throttle control is not the reason the body rolls it leans too much its too slow to respond and falls it has nothing to do with Throttle I have plenty of videos powering a rc in a turn they dont flip this has a defect I hope you understand and I appreciate you watching and the support

Hello my friend

Continue to keep it real... Salute!

I've seen a few people at the park running these. Very unimpressed by this maxx slash. And at the price point they are chaging its not worth it imo

Hey let's make the Maxx platform faster and heavier with 6s Revo electronics, but limit the width so that we can deplete our surplus of Maxx V1 suspension parts......😂

I agree not a basher

definitely not it lacks the suspension for it but its ok thats not what it was designed for

Not a basher you say? Poor driving but durable. That's the very definition of a basher! It sure a sh*t isn't a serious SCT either. What is it then? Mojave 6s DESTROYS this thing right out of the box. Merely proclaiming by decree that this $700 waste of time is 'not a basher' will certainly not prevent pretty much everybody who tragically buys it from bashing the hell out of it at their fave skate park. It's based off the maxx so not sure how it isn't a basher. If it's not a basher and not a serious racing rc then it's just an expensive toy that doesn't compete in the marketplace. I have the Slash Ultimate and love it. This rc is an underwhelming letdown.

yup thats what I say all I can do is put the info out youtubers who should know better what did they do jump the piss out of it and complain it cant jump so I reiterate its not a jumper even Traxxas did no favor with the dumb video of it skate park bashing. I figured out the biggest problem with it I am working on the video now you shouldnt have to invest in a new rc to make it work maybe up the performance but not make it work all I can do is share my experience I let people decide if its right if they buy it think its going to jump 10 20 feet and love it then they will be disappointed nothing I can do should I not say anything because someone wont listen? Is what it is Traxxas is a sinking ship the warranty sucks they think thier crap doesnt stink lots of competition now they arent the king of a little field of companies any more Kmart didnt think much of Sam Walton Sears didnt think much of the internet and where did get them
