Been wondering when thread would start. Definitely did not see it coming. I’ve got 2 XMaxx, so no real plan of adding it at this time. But will see down the road

I’m already imagining how many will get 6s system instantly. Won’t even give the stock system a chance.

its not...they list the length in the specs as including the shaft,
its a 36x70 can so 4s is all i would throw at it. Way too many kv for 6s as it would over rev.
However it looks like you could squeeze a 4070 e revo motor on there. Seems to have revo diffs so with the mod 1 gearing done properly and some upgraded CVDs you could run 6s.
its a cool concept but you just dont get enough truck for $550. another $50 and you could have yourself a notorious. If the price were $100 less id grab one just to have but oh well..time to wait for the used market

I’ve got other purchases that are priority before I consider adding anything. Thanks for the motor info.

Price is wayyyyy too high to have plastic driveshalfts and a modified slash drive train.
For the same money or less you can buy an Arrma Kraton/Talion/Outcast and have a full metal heavy duty 1/8 scale drive train. Plus you could take it to a track with just a tire change. Come on Traxxas, stop being a parts company and make a good platform.
