Forgot what i had on my old one! I ordered the RPM rear hubs and a couple of packs of the threaded hinge pins ready for when I get mine. In two minds about the arms though, seen/heard/read mixed things about them but I am not that hard on my cars so might just get them and keep the Traxxas ones as spares. I have also seen a Traxxas "adapter" that enables you to fit a standard size servo in the X-Maxx, might get one of those as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Its in better nick than I expected, well happy for the money. I do hate the shell though, it seems a lot bigger than the stock one? Guessing they mould over it? This is the cheapest running 8S Ive ever seen, costing less than £600. The eBay seller was brilliant and drove it to my house 2 hours away. Its bone stock and I've tried it on 6S and it works fine. It could do with some new screws as they've rusted (unless anyone knows a way of bringing them back? Going to get the stock electrics up for sale and go from there. Going to start to pull it apart shortly Edited May 3, 2019 by Guns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tingtong333 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I’m still on my stock servo and only ever broke one arm and one rear hub (plus several spur and pinion sets). My Russian body has saved my rig from roof landings loads of times which is the best upgrade ever for an Xmaxx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Ive read back through my old threads and ordered a few things. I really want a Raptor shell, but its probably worth me buying a painted one, as it’d cost a few quid to paint one myself. I then realised id need a second set of mounting points. So for now the body stays. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Anyone know where I can get this shell from or is it discontinued? Clear Shells arent cheap and require lots of paint so would rather just buy one done. https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/296969/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Its started, things are starting to trickle in.... Waiting on a fairly substantial invoice to be paid on Monday before I do anything else. Would like to do the servo at the same time and maybe the motor, but Im genuinely not sure what to go for servo wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Ok, I've gone back through the thread and found my original order on RC Mart regarding the servo: I bought: A Servo A Servo Horn Traxxas Servo Adapter #7749 A GPM Turnbuckle RC4WD Rod Ends as they were bigger. I'm struggling to find the Turnbuckle I stock anywhere : http://www.rcmart.com/txm024aocbebk-spring-steel-servo-xmaxx-1pcs-p-67982.html IS there a better alternative now?

Kpowell911 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I appreciate this is pathetic but hey. When I bought my Xmaxx second hand, the centre skid was advertised as cracked. In reality its a hair line crack. However, I found on Jenny’s RC a full set of skids for something daft like $11. In the time it took to add them to my basket, someone bought them! I got annoyed but decided i wanted to freshen up my x maxx even though this will last 1 run. I paid £20 from a UK Breaker for all 3 soo not too bad. Also picked up a 21t pinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive not bought a servo yet, will probably be a different servo from the Bluebird, any recommendations? How about the servo tie rod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
