Xjeepguy’s Xmaxx build thread

[Xjeepguy]

Here’s my Xmaxx build thread. My Xmaxx started out as a new, green truck a couple months ago. Things kinda got out of hand quick lol.
First came the Widemaxx kit (in green of course)

Then I immediately blew a stock tire off the rim, so a set of Duratrax Lockups came next.

I’m a basher, so I added a M2C center drive kit.

I then added WFO battery trays and outdrive rings, spectrum 160a ESC and motor, with the M2C motor/esc mount.

I’ve since added a Reefs 500 Raw steering servo, and new hubs with the oversized bearings. I got tired of my body flying off all the time so I got the body strap kit from RCMadlabz.

Here she is now, the pic just doesn’t show how beat up that body is lol.

If I were to guess I’d say around 3” wider overall. It’s way, way, more stable. That was a very good investment.

Are you happy with the stub axles and wheel nuts? You said new hubs which hubs? I keep losing one wheel nut and it chews the stinkin threads beyond repair. Just did it a second time in a year and I think same corner.

Looks good - where did you get the Duratrax Lockups? Like which ones? I have the SixPacks and Hatchet X's. Can't have to many tires/rims...
