Hello everyone, This is the official build thread for my 2nd Traxxas X-Maxx 8s i got my truck in early June of 2023 in a trade for my Sledge, 4-Tec 2.0 Ford GT and my 2nd Slash 2wd. At first it ran well but i had the stock radio glitch up on me so i took it out and sold it then put in my Radiolink radio system then i had to do some driveline repairs after my 3rd run with it. After i repaired it all was well until the stock servo seized up at the near end of my last bash. Here's some photos of the truck.
This is after my last bash when the servo died but i have big plans for this truck i first put in a Hobbywing Max 6 borrowed from my Traxxas XO-1 V1 since i won't be running that car for the winter. and i want to test the Max 6 with the stock motor before upgrading to the new 5687 1,100KV motor i just bought today and i might pair that to a Firma 160 V2 whenever i have money to make the swap. And before anyone asks yes i'll be buying a new motor mount for the 1,100 next month along with a few other upgrades i'll be buying the new Hot Racing motor mount for the X-Maxx\XRT Trucks since all the WFO mounts are sold out on their site. My plan is to make a truck like Jason Perrin from YouTube's truck he also had an 1,100KV hobbywing as well as a Firma 160 his truck also had a few Pro-Line parts like the reservoir shock caps and HD shock shafts as well as the Pro-Loc wheels with Trencher tires. The only things i'll do differently is blue arms and aluminum parts and a few other things.
