I didn’t want to bite, but can’t resist….
FYI I have an almost entirely stock Xmaxx other than upgraded esc, servo, wheels and gearing.
there are some other ‘improvements’ like bolts to replace the hinge pins and rpm hubs with larger inner bearings.
I service the truck on a regular basis, and all is running freely as it should.
wheels are Louise x pioneer and are very similar weight to stock but last way longer. I had several tyres tear (not using self right) but since changing haven’t had any issues with Louise, they’re also cheaper than stock.
to counter your argument, I’m not lying. What I said are facts, like it or lump it. I didn’t want to spend more on a bigger esc (btw max6 works without fault in my Mojave) but in the Xmaxx , it was not up to the job. I have 22/46 gearing and it now runs like a dream with leg room on the max5, which needed a £10 mount from eBay with no other mods at all - major surgery?! 😂
Don’t make out you know it all and argue against what I know. Maybe you don’t drive yours hard enough? Maybe you think you’re an Xmaxx expert?
I like this forum, shame some can’t see past their own egos. This is a hobby, meant to be fun, and this a place to share ideas and support one another, right?
