X-MAXX 8s 2085R Servo UPGRADE | More Issues

The Traxxas #2085R servo puts out 650 ounces of torque. Unfortunately, there was an issue. I believe the servo may have shorted the receiver. We sent the servo, receiver, and ESC back to Traxxas. We will update everyone on the repair, and we will definitely be taking the X-MAXX out for a bash!! Below is a link to where you can purchase this servo. Traxxas has been out of stock for a while, but you can find it on Amazon and possibly other RC sites.

Traxxas Servo #2085R: $139.95

I been back in the Hobbie since 2015. an in my experience Traxxas makes great trucks; but watch out for the electronics. In my opinion get everything aftermarket. Hobby wing for esc, Savox for servo an so on. Good luck and thanks for the Entertainment

Traxxas is all about customer service. I have good experience with them since 1997.

Traxxas needs to up its ESC/Servo game

Just cut the old drive shaft in half and pair it with the new way you get 2 new shaft with a spline in the middle 💁‍♂️ thank me later

They just came out with another one Traxxas 2085RL

To me stands are good for two things. Taking the wheels off and storage if your a stickler on keeping the springs unloaded. That’s why I put a savox servo and a hw maxx 6 in my xrt.

I owned an Xmaxx, and i SWEAR, that 99% of its issues come from too much chassis flex. The flexing of the chassis negatively affects nearly all of the moving parts in this RC. If Traxxas could figure out how to stiffen their chassis, it would fix a lot of these issues, moving parts must be stationary. Imagine the steering column in your car moving side to side when you turned or if the engine in your car shifted constantly. People are trading basher durability for stripped gears, worn-out servos, pinions flying off, drive shafts rubbing and warping, yes all of this happened to me and many others who own or owned an Xmaxx.

I went through 3 2085R servos so far. Traxxas has been replacing them for me for the past 2 months. It’s not your ESC, it’s not anything wrong with your RC. It’s the servo and Traxxas won’t acknowledge it. Install your old servo and it will be ok. I made a video about it, I recorded my 3rd servo break and uploaded it. Traxxas will replace yours and I put my money on it that it will happen again. Traxxas had me send in my truck after the 3rd servo broke to “look into the issue” only to have them simply replace the servo them selves and not diagnose anything. They wasted 3 weeks of my time not having my truck. I’m still waiting to get my truck back. I will record the 4th servo break and I will post a video again because I know their servo is the issue not the ESC or anything else with the truck. This sucks.

What do you use on your bodies to make them tougher? What do you put around the bottom edge of them?

[Troubledsoul]

Hey I just found your channel looking at buy a traxxis maxx v2 . I know there really durable but what parts should I get to keep on hand . I’m just getting back into the hobby since I was a kid. Thank you in advance for the advice. Love your videos
