About the X-Maxx 8S
Body, Wheelie bar, Wheels & Tires
The Traxxas X-Maxx 1/6 8S Monster Truck with belted tires is an absolute beast of an RC vehicle, designed to conquer the most extreme terrain with its mammoth size and unrelenting power. Featuring a clipless body mounting system, the X-Maxx allows for easy removal and installation of the reinforced body, which is further enhanced with a protective cage to minimize flex and external skids for strategic protection during intense bashing sessions. The integrated nerf bars provide additional side impact resistance, ensuring durability and longevity even in the most demanding conditions. Paired with the specifically formulated 8s rubber compound and large, dual-diameter wheels, the belted Sledgehammer tires offer exceptional grip and durability for high-speed runs and aggressive off-road maneuvers.
Chassis, Suspension & Drivetrain
Built on a robust chassis with a full-metal driveline, the X-Maxx boasts exceptional strength and durability to withstand the rigors of extreme bashing. The suspension system is engineered to optimize suspension travel and steering angles, with all critical suspension points featuring double shear strength for added reliability. The GTX shocks with machined aluminum threaded bodies and extra-large bore capacity ensure smooth and consistent damping over rough terrain, while the fully sealed bearings used in exposed locations provide long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance requirements. The drivetrain features all-metal gears and CVDs, along with Traxxas' Torque-Biasing Center Drive unit for maximum wheels-up punch and unrelenting acceleration.
Electronics
Equipped with the Velineon VXL-8s Brushless Power System, the X-Maxx delivers jaw-dropping acceleration and speeds of over 50mph, thanks to its powerful Velineon 1200XL Brushless Motor and VXL-8s Waterproof Electronic Speed Control. The built-in cooling fan and machined heat sinks ensure efficient heat dissipation during high-speed runs, while the real-time telemetry via Traxxas Link provides valuable performance data to optimize the driving experience. The Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) helps prevent spinouts and loss of control by adjusting from off to 100% assistance from the transmitter, offering unparalleled stability and control for drivers of all skill levels. Additionally, the TQi 2.4 GHz High Output Radio System with Traxxas Link-enabled allows for easy customization and adjustment of steering and throttle parameters, ensuring a personalized driving experience tailored to individual preferences.

The reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is pretty simple - and many people know this. The gears. Mine havent stripped (yet) but it seems to be the most common issue with these trucks. And, on the other side of that coin.. is Traxxas themselves selling spare parts and "upgrades" for design flaws or problems they themselves allow these their products to have, presumably to sell you spare parts. It's pretty wicked, honestly. Nonetheless, it's a great truck and right off the bad I highly recommend getting a better spur and pinion gear set, as well as the control arm bolts all around. It should last you a lifetime with proper maintenance.
