Important Upgrades for The Traxxas Maxx V2

Hey Everyone,

In this video I go over some of the most important upgrades that you need for your Traxxas Maxx V2. I also take this Maxx out for a street bash and get some crazy bump flips to terminator ramp jumps! Enjoy! #traxxas #rc #rccars

Awesome Bash and upgrades Brother Rocky 😜. I've had HR front hubs waiting on the bench for a bit now 👀. My buddy Rob hook me up. Great to see they're working nicely. Stoked M2C will be making upgrades for the mini Maxx 😍. Looking forward to getting her back out again soon!!!! Thanks for this vid and sharing your tips Brother. 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Another great video, Rocky. Thanks for all the helpful tips and info. I'm gonna order the upgrade parts you suggest one at a time so I don't break the bank and I have them when my Maxx V2 arrives on my birthday from the wifey. Lol. Bash on, brother.

I luv the upgrades, good to know what needs help on the Maxx before I buy one. Keep up the great bashing, luv the channel 👍👍👍💯👊👊👊👆👆🌜🌜⚡⚡⚡🤘🤘

Nice bro very nice. I've found that the front and rear hubs are weak (replaced with aluminum Traxxas ones), the C hubs are weak (replaced with aluminum Traxxas ones), I broke one of the plastic ones driveshafts (replaced with steel CVDS from Traxxas, but now sure if that was necessary), replaced wheel hex ends with aluminum ones from REVO 2.0 (so that the steel CVDS can work), replaced ESC with Max 8 ESC (much better punch and power), replaced receiver with spectrum receiver, replaced spur gear cover with gpm aluminum one (motor kept shifting), replaced motor mount with aluminum one (motor kept shifting). So yeah lots of expensive upgrades 😅

Hey dont forget to add the aluminum toe links i got the hot racing steering bellcrank assembly with the over priced traxxas aluminum wide toe links steering is 100% better than stock no breakages and i deff bash hard i also run 80 wt in all shocks helps with the mega jumps 👍

Thanks for the tips bro very helpful on a great budget, I have a V1 and got the V2 chassis and other stuff that goes with it cage, driveshaft etc, it's actually only like four parts, just can't get body yet. But gonna use your tips for reassembly....love the channel👍👍

I have no plans on ever getting a Maxx V2 or a used V1 at that, but i personally feel like that is a good platform for a Tekin RX8 ESC. I would in fact pick that ESC over a Hobbywing or a Castle Creations ESC myself and i like Hobbywing and Castle. Not sure why i would put the Tekin over the Hobbywing or the Castle. I just think it would perform really well in it.

And a link to those axle hub carriers would be great I broke the hinge pin on one of them

[rctd]

good tips!! That picture you showed us and we thought it was a losi rock ray. It actually IS an Arrma. (Arrma fireteam) It looks pretty insane!!

[bubblesrcshed]

Great video getting creative with the jumps

[michielgubbels]

Hey Thunder RC which ESC did you put in your Maxx V2?

[andyvega]

Could you share the info on part numbers for the upgrades on the hubs and extenders? What battery are you running? Thanks and great videos!!!!

Hi from the UK I'm getting mine on Saturday have you got any good tips for me. Thanks, Mr. Thunder Rc

[ShawnClark-si]

Hey pretty cool I'm just getting back into this and just bought the wide maxx I don't see the links for those up grades is that still what you recommend I see this is a year ago

[willeymunda]

when you mention half 50 and half 80 shock fluid in the rear, do you mean 50, 000 and 80, 000?

[mrhuangsta]

THUNDER!!! Is there an extender for the Maxx V2 with the CV steel driveshaft? Looking at the Hot Racing stuff but not sure which one fits. The CV driveshaft has a hole for the pin but it doesn't have any threads for screws. Apologies I'm kind of a RC noob. Appreciate it!

[frankymal]

Do you still run the Maxx with the hex extenders? How have they been - any breakages of axles, c-hubs, bearings etc due to the increased leverage?

Can't wait your Tekno MT410 runs 🏴‍☠️🚀
