Upgrading your X-Maxx! Six upgrades to your X-Maxx Monster Truck [Infographic]

Let me tell you, we love the X-Maxx. At RCSUPERSTORE we understand why upgrading the Traxxas X-Maxx is like decking out your own personal RC monster truck!

It's a blast to put your own spin on this beast, whether it's souping it up with performance parts or customizing the look with a killer paint job and decals. The best part is, you’ll separate from your friends. It's like having a one-of-a-kind RC monster truck trophy on wheels.

The Five Best X-Maxx Upgrades: Performance, Convenience, and Durability.

The Traxxas X-Maxx stands tall as a legendary monster truck, celebrated for its raw power. I personally own one, and with the 8s, the X-Maxx goes 50+ MPH.  Let's dive into this guide to explore the realm of enhancements, guiding you to craft a commanding machine that mirrors your unique flair and driving prowess.

1. Personalizing Your X-Maxx Body

The X-Maxx body is undoubtedly rugged, but why settle for ordinary? Explore pre-painted body options offering a plethora of designs to showcase your individuality.  You might want color, like we did here:

But what’s even better… Getting yourself a clear body. Having a clear X-Maxx body really unlocks your creativity. A blank canvas where you can truly show who you are. Experiment with different painting techniques, graphics, or decals. The opportunities are endless. See the X-Maxx Proline Bodies and X-Maxx Traxxas Bodies. Here’s a recent picture of a company, WAND Digital upgrading their X-Maxx

2. Picking Out Your X-Maxx Tires

The X-Maxx tires play a pivotal role in both performance and your unique appearance. Whether you’re looking for high-speed runs on pavement, or maximum traction in off-road environments, choosing the right set of tires is essential for optimizing your X-Maxx's performance and achieving the desired aesthetic.

We love using Paddle Tires when racing our RC’s in the sand, dunes, snow, mud or water! They give a competitive edge by maximizing traction. X-Maxx paddle tires offer unbeatable traction on any loose surface.

When it comes to navigating rough terrain, nothing feels better than using aggressive X-Maxx off-road tires. They add exceptional grip with rugged tread patterns allowing you to conquer anything.

These X-Maxx tires ensure stability in rough terrain even through the toughest of trails with ease and precision. The Proline Trencher 4.3" is Wider and Taller than the popular Badlands 4.3" for more aggressive looks and performance and comes in a Super Soft compound for incredible grip! The Height is 8.60" (218mm) and width: 4.57" (116mm). The new 77096-4 X-Maxx comes with Belted Tires.  You can also add Sledgehammer Belted Dual Profile Tires.  

3. Upgrade the X-Maxx Suspension Kit to the Aluminum Conversion Kit

Enhance your truck's resilience by switching to aluminum parts.  We imagine you would love to take your X-Maxx to the park.  See here:

First, aluminum is lighter than plastic. Also, aluminum is much stronger and durable than plastic. We all know you're going to stress your RC monster truck out.  Last, aluminum components add a visual appeal to your X-Maxx. Here's a recommendation from GPM Aluminum Suspension upgrade kit:

4.  A great upgrade is adding a wireless module to your X-Maxx

We see our customers adding a Traxxas Link Bluetooth Wireless Module. The Traxxas Link App collects and records real-time data as you drive. It’s a blast knowing your speed, battery voltage, RPM, and temp.

• Compatible with Android, Apple iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
• Use with the powerful Traxxas Link app
• View real-time telemetry with optional sensors
• Bluetooth low energy
• Easy and simple device pairing
• Powered by TQi transmitter
• Integrated into transmitter body
• Quick and easy installation, installs in minutes

For superior handling, think about replacing the standard shocks. We see our clients replacing the X-Maxx Suspension Kit for Aluminum, and upgrading to GTX shocks with firmer springs to enhance stability at high speeds or choose extended travel shocks for smoother navigation over rugged terrain. 

5. Upgrade to X-Maxx Steel Driveshafts

When upgrading to steel driveshafts, it feels like giving your X-Maxx a suit of armor. They significantly enhance durability and withstand more rigorous off-road conditions, providing greater reliability and longevity to your RC. These steel driveshafts are a must-have upgrade for anyone looking to enhance their performance and countless hours of uninterrupted enjoyment on the track.  At the end of the day you want strength and reduced flex.

6. Upgrading the Servo for the X-Maxx

Picture this: Greater torque for precise and responsive steering, especially when you're tackling tricky terrain or pulling off daring maneuvers. Sounds awesome right? Upgrading your servos brings improved durability and reliability to the table, reducing the chances of any unexpected mishaps during those intense RC sessions. Trust me, this upgrade isn't just about performance; it's about maximizing your enjoyment and experience. You can also consider a waterproof High-Torque Metal Gear Servo. These upgrades fortify your truck, equipping it to tackle the toughest terrains with ease.

X-Maxx Maintenance:

Here’s an indispensable addition for those keen on recovery missions. This gives your X-Maxx a complete upgrade with a stainless steel hardware kit.

Lastly, don't forget to regularly maintain and care for your RC to ensure it performs at its best.

• Clean and Inspect: After each run, clean your RC and inspect for any signs of wear or damage.
• Replace Parts: Replace worn-out or damaged parts as needed to keep things running smoothly.
