On 5 X Maxxs, Ive never looked at a diff lol. Im runnig diff outdrive “covers”? And they keep slipping down. Am I doing something wrong?

There seems to be a gasket set available for these - trx7781 or there are other ways to diy a gasket if so inclined (paper bodge, gasket paper, instant gasket etc.) to stop the leaking. As for grease I’ve used boring lithium grease for all things rc for many years. I will however be trying some “red n tacky” in the future. It’s an extra sticky lithium grease basically. That moly grease stuff would/should also be fine but iirc lithium is better in/around bearings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rough the outdrive with a bit of sandpaper make sure you clean both ring and outdrive with some brake cleaner etc so there’s no grease or grime then add a drop of thread lock leave over night to cure job done 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Xmaxx is 2kg lighter. 11kg for the Outcast and 9kg for the X Maxx. Guessing thats plus batteries. X Maxx is slightly bigger though as well Edited September 24, 2022 by Kpowell911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t been out bashing in a while but a mate has just bought a sledge so looking forward to get out again i see hobbyking don’t have any batteries in the uk or even have a uk warehouse anymore as they are all sent from hongkong with big delivery charges. im Northern Ireland and all sellers on eBay won’t deliver, is AliExpress and Banggood my only option as I don’t want to be paying over £50 for a 4s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross9999992 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) I use these CNHL 4s myself. They fit into the xmaxx perfectly. Bit pricey when not on offer but if you register/sign up for newsletters or whatever they often have sales 👍🏻 They do have some lower capacity ones for cheaper as well 🙂 This kinda thing - should also fit nicely.

Ross9999992 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 @Skinso1978 Going by the PayPal receipt it looks like I may have got them in a 50% off sale. Seems I paid £72.18. It was the 2 pack with deans connectors so I had to swap them out but still 😀😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant really moan at £64 a pack for a quality 4S Lipo. The Xmaxx is a £1000+ RC, its not going to be “cheap” to power properly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SYST3M_OVERIDE Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Anyone run paddle tires on their truck? Wondering if it's necessary to have them on all 4 wheels or if having them only on the rear will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirt cheap, high discharge rate and they work amazingly well. These are what I use . https://www.amazon.com/HOOVO-Battery-9600mAh-Softcase-Compatible/dp/B09WRH3VF7/ They do have batteries with the TRX connector already on them but they max out at 7A.
