E-MAXX OR E-REVO?
 

Wondering which I should get? I have a T-MAXX now but tired of nitro and wondering which electric monster I should go with? Let me know! Thanks!

Racing or bashing? Bashing e-maxx maybe racing Revo. And really the Revo would probably do better at both. Parts are more plentyfull and its cooler looking.LOL, but what do I know, I drive a Losi........never a Traxxas

the e revo is a better jumper and handles better. The revo also has stronger diffs and drivetrain (unlike the e-maxx). Both are water proof and very bash-able. If you have the $$ go with the revo for sure.

Ugh I hate the Revo. It's like they tried to be different so hard, they came up with the ugliest design of a truck they could think of.

Go with the Emaxx, much much more fun when it comes to after market support. It can still go brushless with the new version without worrying, and a FLM/Gorilla Maxx will demolish ANY Revo.

Are you serious ? Who cares how the REVO looks as long as it performs and with as many wins as the REVO has racked up its pretty obvious it does .....

The E MAXX is dated and needs alot of modding to be competitive , the E REVO only needs a tire change .

I would get the brushless E REVO from the start , you get a 2.4Ghz radio , 17mm hubs , and the MMM 2200Kv brushless ESC/motor , MUCH more powerful and more reliable than the brushed version . And it will be cheaper in the long run .

Did you just say 'cheaper in the long run'? going BL, especially out of the box, is NOT cheaper in the long run, not by a long shot. Give us the same amount of money, and I'll build a BL Emaxx that will be faster than your Revo dollar for dollar.

probably not cheaper in the long run but so worth it. There is a reason that almost all 1/8th tracks are dominated by the revo. You will almost never see a t-maxx or e-maxx on the race track in most cases. Don't get me wrong, i like the e-maxx, and sure you can get it to handle better than a revo with some serious $$$$, but it is made to primarily bash. The maxx series has two times the after market support than the revo, so if you like to customize then go for the maxx. If you like to race/bash get the revo.

Ok, not to be a buster on the Revo, everyone has their own choice of MT. If the Revo was so good, it wouldn't have gotten smashed so bad by TWO LSTs. Also, the Australian Nationals were won by a SAVAGE. The Revo isn't the only MT that can race, not even close. Unfortunately the Savage needs a 130$ upgrade + new TVPS + new shock setup to become competitive lol.

I agree the Emaxx is primarily for bashing, but I'd still choose it if I was still choosing based off racing, I'd go the Emaxx route, buy a used roller, and start from there. 2200KV BL is way to strong for REAL racing anyways.

Any mt can beat a revo with alot of $$ and a good driver. But stock to stock the revo is one of a kind on the track. Honestly, how much do you think savagesam has in his super savage?

The MMM is completely tunable so you can tune the power down a bit or course.

Ok , you buy and RTR brushed E REVO or E MAXX , buy NiMh batteries and a charger , drive it for a while , burning up motors and toasting NiMh batteries (though the E MAXX isnt as hard on its batteries from what I have heard) and after you get bored with how slow it is (and it is pretty slow) you get a MMM combo , but you also need a 2.4Ghz radio , plus the NiMh batteries wont be good enough for the brushless system so you need LiPo's , guess what that NiMh charger is no good now so you will need a new charger ......

and upgraded diffs, cvd's, and tranny..............

:confused: Why upgrade those parts on a 3905 they're ready to go brushless ready. I had one with the Castle MMM on 4s no issues at all.

He's never said what he's going to be doing with his future truck.....:tire:

I personally cant stand the Revo's never have. I hate the damn things!!
every version traxxas has ever put out.
They're great racers with a mere tire swap is totally true, stock with a good brushless set up. They're very very durable in stock form compared to the 3905 Maxx's for bashing.
I like my stock 3905 E-Maxx way better (bashing) even though its an upgrade whore to make it a durable basher. Control arms, big bore shocks,TT hinge pins and so on but I love truck.

I say:
as far saving some $$$

Racing: Revo
Racing and bashing: Revo
Just bashing, Check out the Flux!! :nod: or stick with a Revo.
I guess the 3905 is my personal preference, never had a Flux at least not yet.
my 2 cents :D

Ok, I'm glad your only knowledge of BL is MMM. It makes this easy in deciding on not trying to explain simple setups to you. Your reading comprehension skills are lacking from this whole topic.

You do notice I'd also rather have the Emaxx right? lol.

Yep :nod: That leaves something to be said for the E-Maxx :cool:
