Does it just bolt to the thin walled plastic bulkheads or the chassis as well like the plastic one it replaced ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatWheels Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone I have an original Xmaxx that’s been sat in a cupboard for a couple of years. Probably had 20 cycles of batteries through it. I charged up two sets of batteries yesterday and had an hour in the park. its not really for me or my son and he would prefer to sell and put money into other things. It needs a new rear bumper bracket but other than that it runs great. Csn you give me a ball park idea of what it’s worth as a used truck. Comes with about £50 in spare parts never used lol and a castle fan and some shock covers otherwise it’s completely stock. Is it best to advertise on here at a price or stick it on fleabay and let an auction run it’s course. Your advice and a ball park figure would be appreciated many thanks Edited May 26, 2020 by FatWheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) eBay is probably the best bet, although I watched an 8s go the other day for £520, so Im not sure youll get what you want money wise? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Traxxas-X-Maxx-8S-Brushless-Monster-Truck-red/124192658668?hash=item1cea7594ec%3Ag%3A6kAAAOSwe5dexDKR&LH_ItemCondition=3000 This 6s went for £350 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Traxxas-X-Maxx-6s-1-5-scale-/303503272921?hash=item46aa346bd9%3Ag%3AxZ4AAOSwq5heW5xX&LH_ItemCondition=3000&nma=true&si=rqfkQE6daaXBkyx3xMcE1t7xrmk%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Do you have a rough idea of what you want?

Been using the Traxxas upgraded one now for nearly 2 years without a hiccup, these 1/8th scale servos sadly overheat and die you’d be better of going with a 1/5th scale servo there was a mount somewhere to get them to fit as well like the 1/8th stuff.

krel Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Been saving up for an x maxx and wondering about what batteries to get for them? I've seen a few bundles one with the traxxas batteries and another with overlander batteries, the traxxas batteries have a 25c rating and the overlander ones have a 35c rating. I'm going towards the overlander batteries as they are noticeably cheaper and I'm wondering will the C rating be plenty? I've heard online for an x maxx a 50c rating is a lot better. I've got a few nitro and some nimh based cars but this will be my first lipo based car so apologies for not knowing much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinso Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Doddy I always thought you were talking crap when raving about the xmaxx, I hated the xmaxx for years as all the vids I had seen looked crap with very little bashing and breaking very easy from it, well I've had 1 a few months now and what an RC my favourite for sure, I've tried to break it unsuccessfully. With higher gearing it's fast and agile in the air 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locky Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Is it worth upgrading stock servo? Just recently increased BEC from 6v to 7.4v, yes it is faster but still struggles I think. Who knows how long it will last at this greater voltage. Is the 2085x the safest bet? As it comes with stronger spring. Seen that there is an adapter for standard size servos, but can they really cope, like jx 46kg servo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
