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.
