I'm not sure if you figured this out yet but you don't have to pull the skid plate from the under side of the xmaxx to get the upper tray out of the truck. The skid plate has 4 holes in it that allow you to put your hex key (allen wrench) through the skid plate to access those 4 bolts that hold it from the underside. i just thought i'd share this info with you incase you didn't know it. Happy bashing!

It literally doesn't do anything my esc broke hence why I got the max6 and it was just the same as the stock esc not one thing was different.

Good vid kid 😎👍🏻🇬🇧

Traxxas battery warranty is awesome tho. They traded in mine for half of what I bought them for. And, I accidentally ruined them by leaving them hooked up to my truck.

It looks about exactly as fast as my factory esc.

Idk I’ve broken an chassis before getting that esc out might be a pain

Whats the biggest motor diamator wise you can fit with the stock mount. You fitted a 36 series. was thinking of 42 or 46 and max 6 to keep temps down

Damn back flips seem to be much easier with the max 6 than the velineon.

No, they fit perfectly with NO trimming. Duratrax makes a set for the Kraton 8s but they say Kraton 8s on the packaging. Make sure you get the regular Duratrax Six Pack X.

MAX5 in the XMaxx without some serious mods may be a lil bit overkill/kills the XMaxx in general. If you don’t have an aftermarket motor and motor mount I’d get that and probably upgrade diffs to an aftermarket splined diff as well as putting some thicker fluid in all the diffs.

How could it go much faster with just an ESC change? [Disclaimer: I forwarded thru the video. Dont know if you changed a gear as well] ESCs just deliver the available power from a battery to a load. It cant create more amperage than the battery has to give.

@joshsrcs

I’m guessing it had to do with the batteries I used and less with the ESC. The PowerHobby lipos I used in the video delivered more volts than the previous Traxxas lipos I used to use. HobbyWing does time their motors tho (which is variable in HW programming) which allows for more or less motor RPM. Don’t ask me how it works because I have no idea when it gets that deep lol.
