Just hours after the Traxxas Maxx Slash found here: was leaked, there were videos posted about it. I got one in for the channel and Youtube was inundated with content about the truck. So, I decided to go right for the project with mine and got just about everything Traxxas has to offer to build my own Ultimate Maxx Slash. But just in case you want the scoop on the good stuff, I do go through what this beast has to offer. Is what I built overkill? Or is a Maxx Slash with a few mods a killer RC truck. You decide!

    Most excellent! Not everyones a fan of this truck but I really enjoy mine. After adding cooling fans and sway bars, its an absolute blast! Very very robust too. I have tried to break mine and only thing I ever broke was a pinion but that was my fault, didnt let the Loctite cure LOL
  • @kevincain6843
    I do not own one but watched every ThunderRC video and he has beat the snot out of this truck and it's still going. Simple astonished at what it can take. Maxx Slash has my respect.
  • @Rueger12
    Thanks for making this video and the work and money invested into the rig. And thank you for ignoring some comments. I'm sure those people are used to being ignored.
  • I bought one brout home let it set went thru everything I could get it's fast need to put on my knew sway bars I like yours good job
  • Always enjoy the Traxxas content. Thanks Greg for your efforts. Like button energized and video watched in its entirety. UDR and TRX4 currently in the RC fleet and we enjoy them both. Have a good week Greg, cheers!!!
  • @speedgears1236
    Awesome review! Always enjoy your content. Nice color combo on the Ultimate
  • Finally! Been waiting for your review! Great vid, Greg, thanks for taking your time and doing it right!
  • @nyckpcole
    Great review! It was definitely worth the wait 😌
  • The best upgrade iv done to my Maxx was change the springs to a progressive spring rate. I bet it would do wonders on the maxx slash
  • I feel like even on this groomed track the truck just looks bouncy. Could you break down the cost a little bit?
  • @J1Z06
    I saw one running at Branford Hobbies last Friday after work. They tried it on 6S and 4S. I thought it was pretty cool. As You’d stated, it did better bashing than on the truck.
  • @rccrazy
    Best thing about the Mojave 4s, barely any catching air under the shell like most other SCTs. I'm glad I couldn't afford one of these Slash things when they were released to be honest. Good job on the video as always though😊
  • @shyancole2490
    I love the bill the mixing and matching green and blue Parts reminds me of my erivo 2.0 build
  • It was cool seeing this truck built out to ultimate spec. Also appreciate the tuning recommendations to improve drivabilility for bashing.
  • I’m a Traxxas fanboy. I have the 2 trx4, slash platinum, erevo 2.0 and xmaxx. I really love Traxxas. Their advertising is so good it’s so tempting to buy them. Arrmas are also very cool. Basically every arrma that’s plastic is better than Traxxas. But the metal ones are worse. That’s my opinion tho. Write me back for your opinion 😀
  • @George-bl8rb
    By far the best video out for tms and I'm going to do same to mine when I get it
  • @paulus842000
    Tbh I'm not really a fan of the Maxx slash, I find it quite unusual that it is supplied with 6mm nuts for the wheels. I'm glad I got the arrma mojave 4s, I find it much better value for money. Great video 😊
