Deafty Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I suspect the truck works just fine on 4s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an ESC is bursting into flames then they should recall them not give them a quick bodge. I feel a little sorry for the people who have spent £700+ on the x-maxx . This has put me well off everything traxxas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with you on this one. Never had a Traxxas, they're over priced in the first place which put me off buying one, and then this issue, does not inspire confidence in the company. Throwing an underpowered ESC in a big truck was always going to be a bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Indeed! One of the reasons I'm still hankering for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I'm still keen aswell, but I've got holidays to pay for, speed projects to play with and I'm waiting on a review of the new octane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Yup, I'm getting nagged about a holiday, a crashed van to have repaired and she wants venetian blinds throughout. I just want toys! What's so bad about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Well holidays paid for, car gets serviced on Tuesday, and I get paid 13 times a year not 12, and in July I have a "free" month of no outgoings or bills so it could happen then....

Evoc Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Are you able to buy a socket which goes into the grooves of the x-maxx wheel nuts? If so what is this kind of nut called, does anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evoc Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Yeah, was just wondering if you could buy one with them little grooves, Just to make the fit a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really not required, the Traxxas socket is only available in plastic as far as I know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 I'm not a fan of fixed camera vids, you tend to have too much dead screen time waiting for the truck to come back in to shot, but this guy's done an amazing job! Traxxas could actually use this as a promo! The other notable thing I really like about this vid is how clearly you can see the truck landing from 4 to 5 feet of air and not bottoming out. Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full days at work then to the garage to build cars for race season in a few weeks means I've very little time for anything else. I'm going to have to make time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
