Love working on my Maxx, so simple to work on and you dont have to tear the whole thing down unless you need to.

This Video is exemplary of what a tutorial should be. Succinct, informative, and no fumbling around w motor skills ("double" :) PLEASE Keep up the good work on MAXX vids! We can always use more on this rarer-than-X Fun Truck!

Thank you Sir! I am going to make my kid study this video so he can manage the gear changes/repairs moving forward.

Excellent video! I have changed quite a few spur and pinion gears in my day but never on the Maxx. Many times it can be tough to find good "how to" vechiles online howver this one was perfect. It was straightforward and right to the point. I am now running a metal 46mm Spur gear with a 25 tooth pinion on the v2. I think the v1 comes with a stock 25 tooth and v2 comes with a 24 stock. Also have a set of Arrma Talion Katar tires on it and it turns into something even better than it already is. The handling is phenomonal and speed is ferocious. These are definitely the tires this should have come with.

Yea this is so funny. I literally just bought a spur and pinion to gear my Maxx up
so I know this will be helpful

Excellent tutorial. Quick and to the point. (The "A" hole. I'm 12 too!)

Alright so I have a question I bought a 54 tooth spur gear and the stock pinion gear is 23 teeth on the maxx manual it doesn't show you on the chart what slot to drop the pin into so can the 54 spur not go with the 23 pinion

A year later your video helped me, thanks! Thumbs 👍 for the A Hole lmao! 😂

[HappyValleyCrawlers]

So to be clear on the 20/50 combo, the pin goes in the A-hole? 😂

[hsu]

Great video, thank you! Can I ask why 20/50? I notice a lot of people using that setup but doesn't that make the truck slower?

Thanks for the help. as always your videos are very helpful😊

[eskimojoe]

Traxxas engineering is very smart.
Setting gear mesh is a breeze on the maxx.

[Moggmodels]

Brilliant video thanks 😊 I'm thinking of buying one myself soon 😀

Installing the gears you recommended for my Maxx with 3.8 belted Badlands. Hard for me not to grease the gears up. You sure they won’t wear prematurely? Thanks!

[ryooperdude]

Great vid... Lol" A "hole....love my Maxx!👍

Do you notice the two motor screws, and screws for the cover never get all the way tight?

[skypixel]

thank you from Germany, i Like your Videos, my English is a littlebit rosti, but i can you good understand. :-)

Put rtv silicone around the motor plate and the chassis the bottom area and you ll have no dirt on the gears

[MrBCook]

Just got done following all of your instructions with the same gear set up. I’m running 3.8” belted proline badland tires. Getting some cogging occasionally when throttling. Any suggestions?

Nice Video, I was just about to tackle this job, and now I know exactly how. I know it has not been long, but how are those Jconcepts tires holding up? I really liked how they looked to handle and may pick up a set.
