I've had my x maxx 8s probably 3 years or so.
When I first got it searched videos and bought up grades to the most common problems I saw, but wanted to keep it light so as not to break it constantly as it seems a stock truck takes a better beating than one that was half metal.
Over the years I always thought my truck was fun but to slow. Maybe it was maybe it was just me getting used to it. Just last summer it got into my head I wanted more power! Did a max 6 esc upgrade and it was a little better, started to have a hard time keeping the stock tires on it! When I asked my lhs what the best motor was he said on max 6 stock motor only! Oh dear! So I went full nuts with a max 5 g2 and a motor rated for up to 12s! Ouhps. Lol
