Used to go hang out with this RC flying club, a guy shows up with a 12 foot wing span, 125cc motor plane, he flies it around does the tail walking stuff and lands it, I just look at him and ask, you ever think about throwing a saddle on it and going somewhere? His wheels were turning!

 

[Adam490]

Leave it stock and enjoy it. All these people modding them just break more stuff. I've got probably 20 packs through mine now if not more. It's the best out of the box R/C I've ever owned (minus the included radio gear, but I never run the stock Tx/Rx in anything).

Buy the RPM rear hub carriers that come with the larger inner bearings. Buy some spare inner bearings for the front hubs (I always run Avid). In 20 packs I've replaced one inner front hub bearing.

I used to fly at a abandoned strip at a small airport. One of the locals flew large scale r/c's they looked big enough to ride on.

This is the first r/c i planned on keeping mostly stock outside of necessary upgrades like the rear hubs, bearings and what not. But I must say the belt drives intrigued me, did you install the high speed gear?

My Traxxas Maxx is the first r/c I’ve had since I had was a kid. This thing is FAST! I’ve been running it in the half speed.

Don't be scared, give it the beans!!

No, I'm still at stock gearing. I haven't done anything to the truck other than RPM rear hubs and adding my Futaba running gear. Set the endpoints and the stock servo holds up fine. I bought a waterproof Savox and the Traxxas mount to add it but haven't needed it.

I did get rid of all the Traxxas plugs. I can't stand that proprietary s***. I put XT90's on everything (3 sets of batteries and esc).

Nitro boats....cool! I've never tried the nitro stuff. They sound cool and always grab my attention when I hear/see them running though. Maybe one of these days I will give it a shot.

They are gas boats 25cc to 32cc

I installed my first mod a lightbar from Pro-Line and its bright.

The wheels are big as my hand. I got to finally run it yesterday wheelies on command I haven't changed the gearing.

I hate proprietary connectors as well all my lipos are 7 years old and majority of them puffed. And SPC is no longer in business thats who I got my lipos from. I plugged a lipo from my mini-revo in with the old connector it plugged right in. Can the XT90's handle the draw? I was looking at XT150's if I had to change them for the current draw.

I bought a maxamps lipo for the little revo to see if its worth the hype. Im going to buy SMC for the xmaxx im looking at the 9000mah packs.

I ordered these and really like them, especially for the price:

Hobbyking Rhino 6200mah 50C LiPo

It runs for 30-45 minutes on those. I have the anti-spark XT90's on mine and have no issue in regard to draw.

I'd rip that light bar off after the first tumble lol!

I also have a set of these:

They work really well too, but you need a piece of foam on top of them because there is a small gap with the stock battery clip locked in.

What kind of run time do you get?
