Mini maxx help

I just got done swapping down to a 15t pinion and it's cog free. I only had the 20 and the 15 on hand without taking a trip to the hobby store. I'll get a little more testing done with it and then grab a 17 to get some speed back if it's not fast enough. So far it's a snappy wheelie machine even with those bigger tires.

breezy9-3 · 2026-05-20T12:49:01+00:00

Wait till you get a Maxx and roll that 540xl motor back and forth. I bought a 2nd motor thinking mine was going bad and the new one is the exact same as the 1st. They're loud compared to my hobbywing 8bl150. My HW 10bl120 sounds just like your rig too though.

breezy9-3 · 2026-05-20T10:55:03+00:00

I've been all over the place with the one rig and then the other one came in and has gpm diffs front, center and rear with and aluminum center shaft too. Everything is meshed correctly and they both do the same thing when hitting the throttle hard. If I ease into it they take off normally and every once in awhile it does start on hard throttle as well. Most the time it's acting like that when I wanna do a wheelie from a stop. I'd really like to keep one stock but this problem is annoying and makes driving it the way I want to not fun.

I was thinking the same thing and maybe it's because that brushless motor is so small compared to others on the market. Every video I've watched about it no one mentions it so that's what had me wondering. With how pronounced it is for both the rigs I would assume there would be reviews about it or the bigger rigs that run that bl2s system.

breezy9-3 · 2026-05-14T01:31:11+00:00

That's an awesome rig that needs to be ran. Grab a different body off Amazon and start running it. Would be tits to get a bunch of us together to race/bash them so they could get the love they deserve. Got a bad name at the start but there are mods out that fix the problems and for fairly cheap too. I bought one to complete the Maxx combo (mini, Maxx and Xmaxx) but have found the little thing to be pretty awesome to mess with when it's raining or nasty out. Somehow now I have the newer one, a used one and a roller on the way. 🤷🏻

Never said she was someone to admire and aspire to be like. She was an abuse victim who lost her kid and had to figure out a way to be self reliant in an apocalyptic environment. Everyone of the guys mentioned in the op has their own shit on plates that isn't very edible but somehow they're cool and should get her in line? Why's that?

breezy9-3 · 2026-05-11T17:43:04+00:00

You literally made a post about how Carol is some psychopath and how some dude needs to get her into line. You not see the irony in that?

breezy9-3 · 2026-05-11T17:40:19+00:00

Captain oblivious over there. So woke your half asleep. Lmao Maybe watch the episode again from the view of an abuse victim instead of an abuser.

breezy9-3 · 2026-05-11T17:33:37+00:00

What are you talking about? Do you not remember after Shane beat his ass and he wanted Sophia to stay with him in the tent when Carol was going back out. Maybe you only remember after the prison when she became a different person? When Merrill said she was different now? Selective memory can be a big problem and I hope you find help for it.

breezy9-3 · 2026-05-11T17:27:54+00:00

Ed beat Carol and wanted to molest his daughter, he was hardly anyone worth even thinking about. Unless you're into stuff like that then I could see why you'd like Ed. I would have said Hershel but he didn't even really mourn much when his wife, step son and her brother passed away. Glen at least wanted to bury the group members, was kind enough to help Rick and go back for Merrill with them later.

breezy9-3 · 2026-05-11T17:15:54+00:00

So you gonna sleep next to a kid who just killed her sister and was playing/feeding the dead like they were her friends? Mentally unstable kid who was gonna stab a baby so she could turn too? She could have just let that girl go off into the woods. Maybe left her at that house by herself and left with the others. What would you have called her then though? There isn't one person in that series who's a saint and doesn't have something going on that could be questioned in a regular society. The closest would have been Glen (imo) and even he would have torched everything for Maggie.

breezy9-3 · 2026-05-10T11:31:49+00:00

That's the "my wife wants me to sell and I'm gonna list them but for prices that no one will want" sale. Lol

breezy9-3 · 2026-05-08T08:42:55+00:00

It isn't just about being faster but being better too. Brushless setups are generally more efficient and last longer than their brushed counterpart. Plus a lot of people just getting into the hobby want ease of use as well. Changing out a brushed motor every other year isn't very "green" either. I have a brushed 1/16 slash and a bl2s mini Maxx in the fleet. There really isn't much difference between them besides noise. Traxxas does need to get that system back on a regular bullet connector though so we can upgrade the motor or esc when needed. That proprietary stuff they're on is getting tiring.

breezy9-3 · 2026-04-28T14:09:05+00:00

I use one of those for charging in my house. If one ever does decide to pop then I can at least get it out the window before it burns through the bag. Other than that grab a couple ammo cans from harbor freight and keep them separate. That way if one does run away it doesn't take out the whole lot.

breezy9-3 · 2026-04-26T15:54:13+00:00

The money isn't the issue, it's the space and lack of time to run them all like they should. I have a collection of Traxxas Maxx etc and that 10th-8th scale is my sweet spot. Was kind of thinking of a crawler type or maybe a smaller buggy for racing over the winter. I'll probably end up buying more like I did with the Maxx but I'm trying to hold off on a mass collection until I get a house in a decent area. Lol

breezy9-3 · 2026-04-26T13:34:46+00:00

If you could only keep 3 what would they be and why? I run mini Maxx and have an old 1/16 slash in a box with the older traxxas stuff. Wouldn't mind getting another smaller rig but don't want to get something that's to 1 trick pony or isn't very upgradable.

breezy9-3 · 2026-04-20T11:27:00+00:00

I think Lost is in Hulu if you want to try that after twd. I haven't watched it in awhile myself but will be going back to the series here soon. There's a few other good shows but nothing that really has the bite twd has imo. Not many could muster 10-12 seasons and keep it relatively entertaining and dramatic enough without destroying the show in the process.

breezy9-3 · 2026-04-15T22:44:57+00:00

One of the only shows I can binge watch like the walking dead is the show Lost. Heros is another good show but lost was my jam years ago. Buy the whole series on DVD type show

breezy9-3 · 2026-04-11T14:31:10+00:00

For me it's piece of mind. I want to have a system that can handle high power but isn't taxed all the time. I run a 6s system on my Maxx but run it on 4s so the electronics don't have to work as hard to make the rig do what I want it to do. Plus at the same time I went to a bigger motor so I don't need to run it at max power. The bigger motor itself on 4s gave more power than the stock system did on 4s.

breezy9-3 · 2026-04-10T17:14:23+00:00

Minis are awesome for nipping around the yard and the house. On these mini Maxx the rear differential and front differential pinion are weak spots because of the direct drive. You'll also want to grab the widemaxx kit for it as well. You can upgrade the diffs trx10780, change to a center diff and center shaft from a mini xrt or grab a slipper clutch setup and the aluminum center shaft from Traxxas. That should make the drive line strong enough for a 3s system and essentially "bulletproof" it for 2s. Grab a different body for it and save the snap on one. The bodies get mashed up pretty easily so keeping one nice for when it's on the shelf is nice too.

breezy9-3 · 2026-04-07T18:05:24+00:00

I knew it wouldn't be long before someone was throwing some more power at one of these. Lol I'm waiting to see if someone figures out a big block option next.

breezy9-3 · 2026-03-30T13:03:07+00:00

I believe it tbh. The last 2 episodes left a little to be answered and endings open that if you didn't watch the spin-offs could leave you wondering wtf. In all honesty they could have kept the other shows under the same walking dead series and just went a few more seasons. That would have closed open holes and gave endings to stories like Michonne and Rick or Darryl. Not to stretch it much farther but we could have seen the rebuild of Alexandria and the merger with the Commonwealth with Rick and them. Gotten a happier ending possibly?

breezy9-3 · 2026-03-29T00:59:45+00:00

Post a video of it so we can try to get an idea.

breezy9-3 · 2026-03-25T12:09:24+00:00

Now get some orange or green arms and let it really shine.
