I've been running my XRT, even with extra power and bigger tires. The only thing I've had to upgrade after like 8 runs is the drive cup sleeves and wing mount. So far.Not sure if this has been posted or not? TRX has released their own aluminum upgrades for Xmaxx and xrt..

Thanks for sharing the Amain video. I can definitely agree with everything said. I haven't had any breakages of hubs or arms on my Xmaxx, but if I do, I'll put the xrt parts on for insurance. I am curious though about the heatsink and fans, he said the XRT has more fans. My Xmaxx came with 2, does the XRT have more than 2? Irrelevant to me, my Vilenion loves heat!! LOL! It goes over 200 routinely and hasn't given up yet. Crazy. Last weekend I saw 221f.I agree with that Amain says about Xmaxx Vs XRT, plus I've broken a lot less stuff with the XRT once I went with the bigger XLX2 and 1100kv motor. The only thing I've done to the XRT is drive cup sleeves. After 8 battery packs (minimum), XRT is still going strong.

It's definitely capable! my 12s XRT drivetrain has been going strong. I haven't had to replace a single drivetrain part due to 12s which surprised me. In fact the added weight really hasn't made a single difference for me in terms of durability. Think I'm on 4 12s bashes in a row where I didn't break a single thing.

Sweet! I'd be surprised if the 6700's heat up in a stock 8s. They seem to be great batteries for stock power. Maybe the 6s Xmaxx was drawing too much power from the 3s packs? My bro has a bag full of TRX 3s 5000's that work fine for stock 6s as well. I think bigger motors creates the problems for those batts.Just got my XRT and raced it on snowy roads = fun
Definitely a different experience vs the Kraton 8S EXB RTR, like both will be nice to compare more.
EDIT: TSM at 50-65% feels nice on snowy slippery roads.
EDIT: Also got the Traxxas dual id charger and 2 4s 6700 Traxxas batteries, nice solution.
Charger bluetooth to phone app seems ok, batteries didnt get hot but it was -15 celsius so have to see later.
Waiting on my Sludge, a little more concernd there since Traxxas uses 2 3s batteries on the that 6s truck and I have bad experiences with 3s 5000 and 3s 6400 traxxas batteries in the past on a 6s xmaxx.
What?!?! Are you in Antarctica? Can you still order from Jenny’s RC?batteries didnt get hot but it was -15 celsius so have to see later.

Enjoy the new toy!!
Now its -14 celsius but tomorrow this time its +2 celsius crazyWhat?!?! Are you in Antarctica? Can you still order from Jenny’s RC?
I live in Vermont, US and we have really long winters. Sometimes we have extreme cold, but seldom get to -20 centigrade. But I usually don’t run nearly as much in the cold due to the plastics breaking much more easily.Now its -14 celsius but tomorrow this time its +2 celsius crazy
I live in the middle of Sweden so no Jenny's RC here
We hit -40c something last year around this time that was with the wind chill though. It's super nice today though it's like 6c lolI live in Vermont, US and we have really long winters.

Yeah, nice here today too. Been chilly all week, below freezing. Had snow Sunday night but, ground not froze so it's just mud underneath..no snow bashing yet..We hit -40c something last year around this time that was with the wind chill though. It's super nice today though it's like 6c lol
Same here. I’m really hoping we don’t get a plowable storm until the ground freezes or my driveway’s going to get ripped up for sure. Good god man, it’s 54° here today and sunny! Wacky for the middle of December.Yeah, nice here today too. Been chilly all week, below freezing. Had snow Sunday night but, ground not froze so it's just mud underneath..no snow bashing yet..
We haven't even gotten enough snow so far this season to make a footprint.Yeah, nice here today too. Been chilly all week, below freezing. Had snow Sunday night but, ground not froze so it's just mud underneath..no snow bashing yet..
