I promise the last big update, But i think i'm going to keep and rebuild the truck i already own since it would be hard to sell my truck even if i rebuild it and use the money to get the new truck. And besides the ultimate is cool but it's heavier with all that aluminum and i would essentially...

Big update! I decided to not do the full rebuild with all new parts and call it a new truck it'll be way too expensive so i will just refurbish and repair my current truck and reuse and whatever i can since all it needed was diff rebuilds with new front ring and pinion gears. But i might sell...

For my XO-1 and my Slash 4x4 Ultimate i bought them as rolling chassis from eBay with no tires, wheels, body or electronics. for my XO-1 which now call Serena i wanted to skip the proprietary Traxxas electronics and yes i know the XO comes with what essentially a Castle MM2 but it had "Special"...

I bought my Outcast 8s EXB the old roller version during the X-Mas in July sale that Horizon for $400 before the EXB V2 RTR came out. It took a few months but i got it running for first time Christmas week 2023 with the Firma 160 V2 ESC out of a new V2 EXB RTR with a Hobbywing 1,100kv motor and...

Oh okay, And most of the X-Maxx is plastic and the only metal parts i would be screwing into would be my new motor mount and the center diff housing. So i think things will be fine whichever route i take. I just got done running my Outcast 8s EXB this afternoon and i loved it such a huge...

Oh really, I haven't had any issues with stainless screws but have had plenty of normal steel screws strip at the heads. So i might just get the normal steel screw set from Traxxas i also plan to get all new bearings as well.

I see now, Even though i was kind of looking into Stainless just in case i would run my truck in wet\snowy conditions. But maybe just plain steel screws might be the better choice my truck came with some stainless installed from the previous owner.

You mean the stock bolts all i can find in a set is the stainless or stock steel.

Yeah i found her eBay page and a few other sellers who have chassis' parts on the cheap i also plan to add some X-Maxx Ultimate parts like the shocks, Front diff housing covers, wheelie bar and a few other parts from it, But mostly will need chassis parts Traxxas has a stainless steel screw kit...

Major update! From the Phoenixes ashes will rise a new stronger bird, I tore down this X-Maxx in prep for my Ultimate X-Maxx build coming soon, The first picture show what i saved from the old worn out truck to transfer to the new build coming soon. This has my MX43 tires and wheels which will...

I think i know about her site i also found some others on eBay that sell discounted oem parts from new trucks. I also have an idea maybe keeping just my current truck and building it up and making my repairs then seeing where i go from there. Since i already own a decent truck and brand new...

Traxxas has those aluminum covers too, I have decided to repair then sell off this X-Maxx and save up for a new one since i'm not willing to put more money or work into this truck also i'm tired of constantly working on it and never performing where it should. I originally wanted an X-Maxx with...

Hi everyone, How's it going? If you saw my last post i ran my Outcast 8s EXB V1 Roller today along with my X-Maxx here. Today destroyed my front diff ring and pinion gears due to no grease on the gears and the front diff covers separating from the front bulkhead i didn't realize it started...

Hi everyone, How's all your weekends going? Last Friday i bought new Badlands MX43's for my X-Maxx project and new gearing to regear it to compensate for the Badlands. i went from 20\50 to 16\54 it's less than stock gearing but the truck is still fun and it runs way cooler than before even with...

Hi everyone, Today i put new motor heatsink fans in my X-Maxx project since after the last run i discovered the original fans were destroyed most of the blades were smashed off so i bought some surpass hobby rocket 35x35x10mm that go up to 21k rpm at 8.4v but i currently at them at 6v and they...

What's up everyone today was an exciting day i got my new 5687 1,100KV motor along with my new stock X-Maxx servo and i also got to run the truck in the field next to my grandparents apartment. Here's the parts i got in today the motor and the servo but i'm starting to feel like i jumped the...

That's cool, Maybe next month i'll start working on the steering department of my X-Maxx to get ready for new tires and motor. I already bought the 1,100KV 5687 motor which i now kinda regret since they now have a 5690SD G2 the only thing is they don't yet have a Max 6 G2. But i can use my Max 6...

Yeah that's what i'm worried about running a Max 6 with all the other parts i might run but i figured out maybe if i use a higher speed HV fan on the ESC i might not have any issues. So far i've had good luck with Hot Racing parts although i did have an X-Maxx spur strip but that's when i had...

Oh cool, I plan on running some big ol trenchers like Jason P's truck and many other youtuber's trucks but i'm a little worried about heat running that, the 1,100KV, The Max 6 and maybe mod 1.5 gears although i could gear down if the Hot Racing motor mount will allow it.

Great info, Even though i might put an aluminum bellcrank in the truck someday my truck might already have the upgraded servo saver spring on it but i don't think so since it's not running the 2085X. I'm on the fence if i want to take the risk and try the 2085X or just get the GPM standard servo...
