My friend is going to pick one up. I pre ordered a Rival MT8 so we are going to do a head to head. I'll film it. I'm still waiting on the MT8. No shipping yet

I'm guessing $699.99. Ya, I'm not a huge Traxxas fan, BUT if it's as tough as it's older brother I may look into it. AND it's 4s...

This spring I want a new vehicle. top picks so far are new Maxx or Rival MT8 "depending on reviews". I'm hoping Arrma/Horizon gets their 4s together before then.

I'm going to put those two against each other. Stand by for the video once I get the MT8 in my hands. My friend is buying the new Max

$199 for the truck. $799 for the special Traxxas battery and $399 for the special Traxxas charger

Hate to admit it, but I like this one. Decisions, decisions.

ESC, driveshafts and front c hubs were an issue for me with the original one. Bulkheads crack with time during heavy bashing too and the body got crumpled. Original one. Probably same issue here

$569 for an overall bigger Maxx isn't a bad price, imo.

 

[Armarookie43]

I think that it sounds different than the original one that I had. For some reason I don't like the sound. The V1 sounded like a small Xmaxx. This one sounds different?

I have an Xmaxx and have never bought a Traxxas battery or charger. Way overpriced. Aftermarket stuff is better.

New YT sub.

BTW my LHS Alamo City Hobby Shop is going to have the same sale for the V1. Widemaxx kit included for $499

 

[dure16]

$499 is a steal for the Maxx V1. I have put it through hell and haven't broken a single part. Seriously.

 

[olds97_lss]

Makes me wish I had held off on buying a maxx... I put widemaxx on it and a 1/8th system in it before running it the first time. I didn't have it very long before I started running 6S in it. That extra inch of length would help tame it a little. It makes my outcast seem lethargic (which has a max6/4092 1650kv in it)!

 

[Surchaufeur]

Kinda sucks for the v1 owners who had to pay 50$+ for the wide kit and now the chassis. So it went up from 530 to 570$
Not a bad price(For a traxxas standard) but high center of gravity chassis it still wont handle great.

I'd be careful OP, Traxxas might find a way to sue you for posting a thread about their product on a non-Traxxas site.

I did too. Once I started doing concrete landings the bulkheads started breaking though. Also my C hubs started breaking and my steering knuckles kept breaking where the hinge pin goes. I had to upgrade those parts to Aluminum. My ESC didn't last either. And the stock tires were not that good. I ripped one apart after a few runs. It was still way more durable than my V3 Granite for sure.

Gotta say I’m impressed that you were able to do so much damage
