The 2017 Xmaxx Event was the sixth annual Xmaxx Event. It was first announced on November 14, 2017, started on December 1, 2017, and ended on January 2, 2018.
Announcements[]
The good thing is, it’s helping hype me up as we plan for our most exciting event of the year: Xmaxx 2017!
I already know that this is going to be the best one yet.
This December, we’ll be releasing 7 awesome holiday cars, a ton of other Xmaxx loot, and some super special gifts for our Nitro Type Gold members.
As you might know, with each Xmaxx event we like to have a new theme.
For those who’ve joined us in the past you’ll remember that last year’s theme was Trains, it was Elves the year prior, and Motorcycles before that. This year, we thought we’d do things a little differently… and ask YOU for some help picking out this year’s theme.
So tell us—what do you think would be the coolest set of holiday cars possible? Let us know in the comments and we’ll pick a winner by the end of the week! And then the Xmaxx fun begins...
Last week we asked you guys to help us come up with this year’s Xmaxx theme! With so many good ideas in the comments, it was really hard to decide.
But now, we’ve finally settled on what looks to be our SWEETEST theme yet. Here, let me give you a hint—
Can you guess what it is? This year, pick up an Xmaxx car from the dealership and then use it to enter into as many Reese’s as possible to Skor a big PayDay.
It doesn’t matter which you pick, whether it costs $10,000 or 100 Grand, you can use it to win some exclusive achievemints and plenty of Xmaxx Bounty—including 50% extra cash and XP with every race!
You’ll want to get started from day one, because the extra cash will come in candy when we release our most exclusive holiday event car later during the event.
If you’ve guessed what our theme is already, you’re probably Snickering at how silly I sound... what is it?

Trivia[]
- This is the first event in which the community of Nitro Type was able to choose the theme for this event.
- This is the first event in which the dealership gets redecorated. Every subsequent event has had the dealership redecorated.
- This is the first Xmaxx event since the 2013 Xmaxx Event to not include the XMaxx Tree Racer.
- Six cars were re-released for this event along with 5 new ones.
- Unlike the last four Xmaxx events, this event did not have a 600 race session achievement. This is because the admins wanted to cut back with the amount of time users spent sessioning during times usually spent with family.
