How's it going everyone? Just another day hanging out in my room watching movies and listening to some music. I started looking at parts i want for my Future X-Maxx Ultimate i plan on using the same esc as my previous X-Maxx which was this one. The Spektrum Firma 160a v2 black edition same one that's also included in the new Arrma Outcast\Kraton 8s EXB RTR's and the Limitless 120 8s RTR. I have one in my outcast and it super smooth and powerful despite being sensorless.

I also might go with an AVC Spektrum receiver to bind to my iXSR+ although i already have an SR615 from my last X-Maxx.

Also plan to do the M2C hinge pins on my truck at some point along with Traxxas blue HD arms.
M2C makes a lot of great parts for the Xmaxx. Id highly recommend their 2 peice center driveshaft and the bash bar. The bar greatly reduces chassis flex that tends to mess with your gear mesh.

I have an account through them now and i might slowly buy and upgrade stuff on my new X-Maxx as needed although i don't bash as hardcore as others do. I'll mostly be doing some front or backyard bashing with my wooden ramp my dad built for me but it would be nice to maybe upgrade a few things. I might also do the M2C wide kit someday i like what they make for Arrma and Traxxas trucks.
 
I predict a day off in the near future.

I tend to keep it under lock and key when I see an empty binocular case outside the window.
 
Dang it, went from needing to fix my front wing mount on my 22 5.0 to a broken...pivot block and arm 😞View attachment 269649View attachment 269650
I wish you luck with finding arms. Or any parts for it for that matter. I know it's not that old but parts are starting to dry up on the older 22 platform

Edit: aftermarket parts/brands are still available and quite steady it's just OEM replacements are hard finding, due to horizon.

Although i ran my Slash 4x4 and my iXSR+ in this hot OK heat this afternoon i've been researching nitro RC's since i might be buying my first nitro next year after i get my X-Maxx Ultimate and after we move to Tucson later this year. The Nitro i have in mind is the Traxxas Revo 3.3 since i feel it'd be my best option for a first nitro and it's the most up to date one Traxxas offers. btw I also forgot to mention it'll depend on what house we end up with in Tucson if it'll have a good garage i'll definitely be getting the revo if not i'll have to kiss my plan goodbye and cancel getting this truck.
