Default e maxx with 2 vxls is this possible

...YES IT IS AND I HAVE DONE IT and its amazing has anyone else or am i the only one thats dumb enough to try this let us all know we wanna know how with what and how much it cost and see pics if you are looking to do this also comment on this will give pointers and tips on it and its a very fun job and would recomending getting an upgraded servo like i did i dont think the stock ones will cut it but let us know i know people are curious to see how its done and use 2 batteries instead of one bc the servos will read only one battery not split up the power even if your using a split wire so 4 5 and 6 cell lipos WILL NOT WORK on this project.

I have not done it nor do I think its a good idea. For one VXLs are not that great. It is much more efficient to run a single higher powered motor meant for the application. The cost of 2 VXLs is more than a single MMM combo and wont run as well.

I have seen the videos of those trucks and they definitely scream. Just not something I would recommend.

Then post a pic! May not be something I would recommend or do myself but doesn't mean it isn't nice.

I would still run a single MMM system if I had a choice between the two. (except in winter)

Traxxas asked a while back if people would buy that same truck, and showed a pic of a Emaxx like this and I guess it didnt happen. I wouldnt do it either unless I have a few vxl's laying around. I would go with a MMM with that new CC/1717 soda can size motor LOL.

Don't do it, it is a waist of money and weight on your truck. Two vxl systems cost 0ver $300. A mamba monster system costs $250. The mamba is way more powerful and way more efficient. With two vxl systems they will fight each other, be dead weight, and to much money. Get the MMM it just makes sense bro.

This is the kind of thing we did before the big motors were available. Schulze and Hacker would not warranty systems that had been used this way. Common motors for this setup were Hacker B40's and Lehner Basics. Things became so much easier and more reliable when these setups went away.

I'm planning to do this. Much because of waterproof and I would like to have project. Also cheaper if you buy used.
