I hope it's more than a flash update, I can't see a flash update doing much on the scale if things but then again I'm not a multi million dollar company so what do they know !

johninderby Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 If this thread were a book it'd be in the Fantasy section as it's definately more fiction than fact. Still IF Traxxas can be believed some MSUK members will soon be posting actual reviews and we can finaly get some answers . John 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 In terms of building this kit from bits, Im going through the exploded diagrams.... The bearings, using Tower Hobbies come to £57+ Postage and Tax......... Its already getting out of control lol. Screws look a night mare, Theres £4,50 worh just to mount the latch system to body, I can see bearings and screws costing an additional £150..... Obviously theres ways round it, someone usually sells a screw kit or a bearing kit but still! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearing kits are good for lazy people, those with too much disposable income or those without the know how but the majority of us would be better off sending rc-bearings an email with a list of what we wanted etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 150 quid for a screw kit?? Having a larf, innit! I could throw one together for far far less than that and still make money 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffeecup Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) I am still really excited to see what it is like. I think I am at the point where I will leave it 6 months and then take another look as to if I want one. In the mean time I am working on my E-Maxx I just really can't wait to see one driving in person, I've never seen a large scale RC driving. According to their Instagram they are posting a new X-Maxx video of it in the mud. https://www.instagram.com/p/BA7gAVDtZkc/ Edited January 25, 2016 by coffeecup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG15 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 The big traxxas reveal thing is at 7pm. Guns I've seen people with a stainless screw kit for the xmaxx in the us. Think it was a "RC screwz" kit or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Anyone who buys a "RC" screw kit is a mug, do your research on sizes and order what you need from Kay's on eBay, you will save a fortune! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Ill have a look AJ. Thanks! Im guessing the 7pm thing is a video... On Monday, January 25th Traxxas is bringing you the X-Maxx on a whole new level. Tight corners, massive hits, and a muddy run are the perfect ingredients to put this monster truck to the test. "Follow us tomorrow as we take the X-Maxx across the muddy terrain and through the woods. This is one you don't want to miss!
