I laugh at people that think these 1/10th scale MTs need a 2200kv BL motor :rolleyes: There is a difference between overkill and balanced power.

have seen alotta E-maxxes for sale recently, Im thinking no one likes to mess with 2 bat packs? or is thier something else wrong?

ERevo, Summit, and Flux all require two packs. It's basic advertising, Traxxas wants to sell their more profitable vehicle and advertises it accordingly. I'm going to take advantage of this though and pick up a used Emaxx roller once my Savage is done.

Whatever , you seem to have a mad on for REVO's so they will never be any good in your eyes . I have several brushless trucks all with different systems in them so no explaining needed here bud :rolleyes: ....

What do you have, several 540can size BL systems, or wait, something 380 for the minis? Claim you have all you want, I don't care, it means nothing. I can just realize the Revo isn't near as good as Traxxas worshipers claim.

I owned and raced an e-maxx with the MMM combo. I had a 4s setup and a 6s setup. Even with the power tuned down i still shredded the diffs and drive shafts. Then i had to blow more money on RR diffs (2) and cvds. Later on i also had tranny problems running on 6s. If you aren't running BL then don't worry, if you plan on BL get the e revo. It was not brushless ready, maybe with a 1/10th scale system but not a MMM. The bottom line is that the revo is better made!!!!!!

Gee , it must be wonderful to know it all :rolleyes:

I guess thats why you put that Axial .28 into your Savage (that you needed to put Losi shocks on to get the suspension right) ?:lol:

No nothings wrong. E-maxx's and T-maxx's are a dime a dozen like a chevy 350. There's alot of them out there.
BUT try to fit one 4s pack in a E-Revo.....probably not gonna happen.

I was running the Castle Mamba Monster Maxx setup on 4s never ever had any issues never tried 6s. Maybe you got a lemon E-maxx or maybe the e-maxx is just not a racer (probably not a racer). Running 6s on the revo or the e-maxx you'll diffenitly shredd somethings sooner or later :nod:

dont get me wrong I'm not saying the revo is a POS MT not at all its the best bang for your buck vs. the e-maxx. I'll agree the revo is better made. I just never liked them. ever!!
I really hate how the batts fit the e-revo. plus its a revo.

I bet the poor guy that started this thread is like ''Damn sorry I asked"" :lol:

Here's a link to a more objective discussion, starting with post #232 ending at #238. This will surely help.-

If you're going with the E-Revo then you may want to consider the ERBE (E-Revo Brushless Edition) which is better overall value due to the BL system & the 2.4Ghz radio.

I also have the Savage Flux which is a great for bashing but will never race as good as the ERBE.

Apparently the Savage Suspension Conversion is a complete dreamhouse and makes the Savage handle beautifully, you should check it out. It'll work for your flux. Turns the best basher into a mean racer also, w/o sacrificing durability like the Revo.

Hands down the revo. Reason: that suspension. Its a lcg design, but has articulation as good as *any* truck out there. The E-Maxx on the other hand is extremely primitive by comparison and isn't nearly as agile.

And let's be honest, they are BOTH capable of handling insane jumps.

They have the same drivetrain, so that's a nonfactor. I own a nitro revo (in the process of being converted into an E-Revo witha Kershaw Design's chassis) and a 3905 on brushless 4s and 6s. The Revo is just a far superior machine. The REVO is Traxxas's best design by far, and I doubt they will ever match it in terms of what it did for the company. If you are only going to own one Traxxas product ever, it should be a Revo, IMO.

Between the E-Revo brushless and the Savage Flux though, I'm not as sure. The Flux is built way better than the 3905 stock. I like the beefy diffs as well (this is offset by the Savage's weight though, which ain't so kind to diffs during extreme acceleration.) The stock diffs sound like they blow just as often as Revo diffs on 6S with a 2000+ motor. My advice if you are going 6s is only to do so if you're using a low kV motor. Otherwise turn down the punch on the esc, especially on high traction surfaces, or else use some self restraint during accelerating from a standstill. It's just physics.

It's so funny hearing this, I was so happy to get rid of my Revo 3.3. I absolutely hated it and it's design. To each their own though.

What about it did you not like (other than the fact that it was nitro)?
