Traxxas Xmaxx, is it worth the price???

My buddy just picked 0ne up used form a coworker for $350, needed a new motor. SO he has $600 into it, but, it came with some exptra parts, including a set of wheel with tires.

The thing is amazing. I want one now.

He had it at church this past Wednesday, was ripping down the road, and literally tore a piece of the tire off. We saw something go flying, ran down to check and saw a chunk of tire on the road and got to the car and saw a section with nothing bot foam. I'm talking like 20% of the tire was ripped off. Should have got a pic

That's happened to me on both 8s rigs (xmaxx and outcast). Too much rpm makes them baloon and rip. My first run with the 8s Outcast and a high speed wheelie blew both front tires simultaneously. It was raining foam and rubber. Looked pretty cool. Some guys use fishing line tied around the outside of the tire to prevent that. I just went to belted tires so they don't balloon.

Good to know. I will let him know about these suggestions. Thanks
