CJ's Ultimate Traxxas X-Maxx Maxxine

My 2nd ever Traxxas X-Maxx with upgraded electronics and other upgrades.

General RC Information

Hi everyone, How's it going? Here's my RC Showcase for my Traxxas X-Maxx which is the 2nd one i've ever owned since buying a new rock n roll one 4 years ago as of this year. I've had this truck since June 9th 2023 and have been slowly upgrading it and building it up to be my Ultimate X-Maxx. Still have a long way to go with this project but after today as of March 10th 2025 i made some great progress.

Here's some pics of my beast.
