ya but who races their e-maxx anyways? i am sure that guys who have them want to race them but just not enough to race with. maybe they should go against the electric stadium trucks in the same race.

At my local track there is one class for all the monster trucks gas or electric I raced one heat and beat everything there including a new t-maxx with a phantom 18 in it,my emaxx corners well and beats them out of the corners,I am waiting for novak to release the brushless system,who knows how fast the emaxx will be then!

how can you beat the t-maxx and savage? maybe in a drag race, but not on a regular track. i think the nitro guys at your track must really suck if you can beat them with an e-maxx!

well if there are no straight aways then a electric will be nitro since nitro cant get up to speed as fast as electric.

I think I could run a electric anything in any class and finish in the top two,have you guys ever ran electric stuff? I have raced nitro for a couple of years,I have owned two t-maxxes and ran a gt for oval,but I am going to stay with electric,because it is dependable when I hit the throttle it goes,never fouled a plug in my e-maxx but I remember several times pulling and pulling and pulling on my starter to my t-maxx and it would not start,then I would walk over to my e-maxx flip the switch and go race!

Jocktheglide is right there is alot more to racing then seeing who is fastest down the straights,the electric trucks are faster through the infield on most tracks

They should'nt put the electric with the nitro's,but there are usually not enough electric mt to have there own class,it is pretty fun beating the gas trucks,because they think that they are so fast which they are fast,but if I go into a corner the same time a gas truck is in the corner I will be coming out first and usually first into the next corner!
