Couldn't break it, didn't catch fire. The remote sucks ass. Overall, had fun! :)
It had to happen at some stage! I have added a Traxxas vehicle to my fleet, the X-Maxx. Over the past couple of months the X-Maxx has proven to be one of the most popular new releases, and for the first time ever I'm quite intrigued. That could of course also be due to its size. I love large scale trucks and having an electric
Monster Truck in a big scale seems like a lot of fun.
No
RTR RC car is without flaws, and the same goes for the Traxxas X-Maxx. After its initial release a lot of them went up in flames by having the
ESC catch fire. There are a few more things that I don't really like about the car, but rest assured that goes for every radio controlled car I have ever owned. The overall impression is good, the car seems to be well put together and after I have determined what I'm going to keep and what I will ditch, I'm sure that the X-Maxx will be a very nice car for me to have some fun with during the summer months.
I'm going to run the X-Maxx on some
HUGE capacity batteries made by MaxAmps. I have two 3 cell, 11.1 Volt 9000 mAh batteries, that should give me some great runtimes and a great punch off the line.
Plans that I already have for this thing, 8S,
Mamba XLX by
Castle Creations combined with the 2028 motor. It only makes sense. New body with a fresh paint scheme. And perhaps you guys can come up with even more.
Let me know!
I got this car at
