    4S LiPo & 55+mph

    MEET THE NEW MAXX®

    The Traxxas X-Maxx forever changed the face of RC monster trucks. Its radical new design, massive size, brutal strength, and unmatched power transformed X-Maxx into the stuff of legends. There is really nothing else like it… until now. Meet the all-new 1/10 Traxxas Maxx. Maxx expertly packages X-Maxx’s innovative design elements into a lighter, more compact, more ferocious beast that is ready to take speed and strength to new levels of extreme intensity. Let the fun begin!

    THE MAXX EXPERIENCE

    89076-4-maxx-toughness-main-feature.jpg

    Extreme power. Extreme durability. Extreme fun! This is the foundation that the Maxx Experience is built upon. With a new Maxx platform that is smaller and lighter, Traxxas engineers took the speed to 60+ mph, tuned it for even higher performance, and doubled-down on strength and durability. Maxx is once again reshaping monster truck fun and excitement.

     

    60+ MPH MAXX MUSCLE

    Traxxas Velineon brushless power hits hard with massive 4s punch and effortless wheelies on demand. Maxx feels like an unstoppable force of nature as top speeds reach an awe-inspiring 60+ mph.* Advanced 32-bit microprocessor-control constantly monitors the output for efficient, long-running performance. The high-output 540XL motor features a beefy, 5mm shaft, aluminum heat sink, and a powerful fan. Of course it’s all fully protected with Traxxas’ innovative waterproofing.

     

    TRAXXAS TOUGH

    89076-4-scale-main-feature.jpg

    Maxx is engineered to withstand extreme punishment and intense driving action. Impact absorbing suspension arms soak up the hits with ease. The heavy-duty driveline components have been proven in vehicles larger and heavier than Maxx, so there is plenty of strength to spare. The Maxx chassis absorbs and dissipates impact energy across the entire structure. Huge threaded-aluminum GT-Maxx shocks with large diameter shafts manage suspension damping. Maxx invites you to explore new ways to drive hard and have fun!

     

    INNOVATION

    Traxxas engineering and innovation makes all the difference to separate the amazing from the ordinary.

      BUILT MAXX TOUGH

       
      The legendary X-Maxx inspired the ultra-tough composite chassis design with its integrated shock mounts and rugged battery retention system. The energy absorbing chassis and bumper mounts combine with interlocking bulkheads to form a bedrock foundation for the heavy-duty suspension and driveline. Maxx has a singular engineering focus…all-day fun! It’s built to drive the way you want to drive, go where you want to go, for hour after hour of fast and exciting RC action.

    Look anywhere on the Maxx truck and it becomes clear that no detail was overlooked to provide the best possible performance.

    New Wheels and Maxx Tires

    Maxx tires features a unique tread pattern with multiple layers of biting edges for sure-footed traction on just about any surface. The heavy duty rubber compound is specially formulated to resist tearing and bonds exceptionally well with Traxxas’ Ultra Premium tire glue. The 2.8” wheels have a large glue surface for bead mounting and utilize a 17mm hex mounting pattern with a flanged locknut.

    motor-mount.jpg

    Full Length Motor Cradle

    Maxx uses a full length motor cradle to fully support the 540XL motor to eliminate gear-crunching flex. The innovative fixed gear mesh system precisely sets the gear mesh with fixed pins so you can focus on driving and having fun and never have to worry about gear mesh adjustment.

    shock-towers.jpg

    Shock Tower Design

    Maxx’s integrated shock towers are part of the chassis and produce a rigid, triangulated structure for secure mounting of the shocks and body. They also provide an authentic off-road look that fills in the wheel openings of the truck. Sometimes the landing after a jump does not go as planned, so the upper shock mounts are shrouded for protection against impacts and grinding.

    receiver-box.jpg

    Waterproof From the Start

    Waterproofing our models has never been an afterthought at Traxxas. Patented Traxxas innovation seals out the water so that your playground is extended through water, snow, and mud. Dirty truck? Just hose it off. The new style box allows fast radio access without removal.

    servo.jpg

    Maxx Steering Authority

    The steering servo in Maxx is the same size as the steering servo used on the giant X-Maxx. With 285oz-in of torque, it has strength and power in reserve for fast response and incredible steering authority.

    shock.jpg

    GT-Maxx Aluminum Shocks

    The four extra-large bore, oil-filled GT-Maxx shocks provide super plush damping even on the roughest terrain. Extra-large diameter shock shafts move smoothly through the double X-ring seals for responsive damping. Machined aluminum bodies are threaded to adjust ride height while the lower spring retainers are captured by screws to keep them secure, even on the harshest landings.

    Heavy Duty Suspension Arms

    Heavy Duty Suspension Arms

    The Maxx’s oversized double wishbone suspension arms maintain proper suspension geometry throughout the entire range of travel. Double-shear connections and extra-thick steel upper and lower tie bars provide incredible strength and impact resistance. Tough new composites further resist impact damage, even in cold weather.

    Modular Chassis Design

    Modular Chassis Design

    The interlocking chassis design ties the shock towers, front and rear modules, and the main frame into a single rigid platform that is engineered to absorb and dissipate impact energy across the entire structure. Critical driveline, radio, and battery components are protected to keep Maxx off the workbench and out having fun. Strategically placed tool access has been thoughtfully put in place to make any needed maintenance or repairs a snap to perform.

    bearings.jpg

    Full Contact Sealed Bearings

    Maxx utilizes full contact sealed bearings throughout the driveline to keep out the grime and grit. Less downtime for cleaning and maintaining bearings equals more run time for the Maxx.

    cush-drive.jpg

    Shock-Absorbing Cush Drive

    Traxxas’ innovative Cush Drive uses a special elastomer damper to absorb driveline shocks at the spur gear for superior reliability. Because there is nothing to slip or adjust, Cush Drive provides instant acceleration and throttle control.

    center-drive.jpg

    Torque-Biasing Center Drive

    The Torque-Biasing Center Drive absorbs shocks to improve driveline durability. The center drive also distributes power to all four wheels for mind-bending four-wheel drive acceleration without the side effects of a typical center differential. Center differentials allow tires in the air to balloon uncontrollably, while the Torque-Biasing Center Drive allows wheelies off the line with seamless power distributed to all four wheels.

    center-driveshaft.jpg

    Aluminum Splined Driveshaft

    A new thick-wall, heavy-duty, splined aluminum center driveshaft carries the power to the front and rear differentials. This heavy-duty driveshaft yields precise engagement, incredible strength, and smooth running.

    cv-driveshaft.jpg

    Extreme-Duty Telescoping Driveshafts

    Traxxas telescoping splined driveshafts benefit from years of Traxxas design evolution for durable, smooth-running performance you can count on. These extreme-duty driveshafts maximize suspension travel and steering angles to radically extend the Maxx performance envelope.

    differentials.jpg

    Steel Gear Differentials

    The Maxx’s 4-gear differentials are sealed and filled with heavyweight oil, which provides a limited-slip effect for maximum traction on loose surfaces. The reinforced differentials use the same design as E-Revo® 2.0 along with 7mm output shafts. Large-pitch, large-diameter, steel ring and pinion gears are installed for ultimate reliability.

    What’s the point of making it collection only for a month?? 

     

    "Global launch". 

     

    Which of course is moronic considering you can buy it in person already.

    I don't even have one in a three hour radius. Well, one, but that's for model trains and the sorts, nothing decent RC.

    I used to go to Apex a lot, but that was still about 45mins away, I have no idea what my local shop is now 😂

    Some retailers are already selectively shipping anyway... for example i know someone who lives 3 hrs away from the shop they ordered from (and 2 hrs from ANY model shop) and their Maxx was delivered yesterday then i know someone who lives about 45 mins away from the same shop who ordered at the same time ant their maxx has not been dispatched-  they do plan on collecting at the weekend if it hasn't been delivered though.

     

    This was a stupid policy from traxxas,  they should have just said stores can not ship internationally if they wanted to "protect other markets" like they claimed

    Personally I would just buy one and get a friend who lives close to the shop to pick it up and then post it to me 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Or just wait the 20 odd days and savour the anticipation...  in the meantime u can play with one of the other countless rc's that most of us have sitting on a shelf.

     

    A slightly frustrating scenario, and ill advised policy on trx part for sure, but very much a first world 'issue' 😀 Just hope it proves to be worth the wait.

    The Bearded Brummie has released his first bash vid, it took quite the beating. Definitely worth a look.

    Imagine living in one of those houses, with that track etc right outside your door...don't think I'd get a lot else done. 

    Truck holds up well, which surprised me having watched some of the disasters stateside.

    I loved the idea of my old Traxxas EMAXX but in practice it broke every single time I took it out and with minimal abuse. If this new MAXX is tough I may have to get one.

    I have two E-Maxx, both took considerable funds to make bashable. You need to spend the purchase price again on upgrades. In stock form they're weak as kittens. 

     

    This new truck is proving durable, but I'm sure Traxxas have only done that to keep up with the competition.

    I agree. My old Slash was the same. That's what annoys me about Traxxas and why they have more upgrades than most other brands, they need them because they are made weak. But like you say, with new brands like Arrma they have to step up their game. 'Bout time.

    Exactly! They make rigs that're fun to drive, but break at the merest of rough handling. This is why competition is healthy.

    I liked the first look of it..after few month with a single Xray XT8e 2019, this was the one i wanted..doing the same with it as i allways do..2 front bulk upper broken, 1 c hub and a rear hub..i ditched the stock esc for a Max8..geared 26/46 ofc..now with widekit..but the eac get warm...so i went with a Max6, and 6s ofcourse..running steel cvds ( after 15 packs and 3 plastic, it was a must ).

    I like it a lot for what it is..
