I don't know if this is the right area to post it but I just picked this up tonight! Wow is it big!   The yeti looks so small.   Last edited by Hpiman74; 12-23-2015 at 12:43 AM. |

Second time out and I snapped a rim. I was landing crooked off a six foot landing so it's def. my fault. Looks like I figure out a way to use other manufacturer rims until they release new styles.  |

Losi 5 stuff will fit the hex, just have to come up with a washer or something to be able to reuse the truck's 17mm wheelnut.

Good call. I don't think any one local carries them so looks like eBay it is. This is the hex axle shaft end.  Last edited by Hpiman74; 12-26-2015 at 03:28 PM. |

I'm waiting on charged batteries right now to see if I will finish it off doing some high speed (lol) pass'. Just ordered a set of these let's see how they fit?!  Last edited by Hpiman74; 12-26-2015 at 05:32 PM. |

I love the picture of the Traxxas sitting on top of the Yeti. I built a buggy that uses the Yeti body with Losi XXL drivetrain with a Summit tranny and motor mount to get a buggy that holds up to brushless power and large tires.

Just ordered a new pair of Xmaxx rims off eBay. They are starting to get things out there. Next thing I want to get are some control arms and complete shocks lol.

Looks like a new esc is in order! New esc going in. Any one interested in the stock esc when I get it replaced by traxxas? It's under 30 days so I should get a replacement for free.  The stock one less than 30 days old quit working.... Dang it all. |

That's an XL, it is just that big, compare them to soay, the Desert Buggy XL, it's almost as long in length and wheel base, but quite a bit wider, besides.being taller with more belly clearance.

Any thoughts or tuning done to make the x-maxx more crawler-like? Diff oil? Shock oil? Gearing? Thanks |

Take out all the grease or diff fluid front and rear and pack them full of Silly Putty! That will make the most difference.

| Re: Traxxas X maxx.
in something so big you might need more than silly putty.... and can it ever be geared down enough?
