First off I assume you are going to buy one brand new right? I hope so, you dont want someone else's problems. Used trucks are that, used and alot of them on Ebay and such come from newbs that have...

Definately dont sell it. I had the same question for myself last winter when I was really into 1/8th scale e buggy racing, then the local track closed this last spring, glad I kept the revo, I am...
How are you guys timing your runs? I am using the timer built into my Spektrum DX3R. Gonna go run a set of packs now, will report back soon.
No dont use brake cleaner, it could (might might not) damage the plastic. Your best bet is to take the diffs apart and set them upside down on some paper towel, let them drain, moving them to clean...
Yeah I hope they do make a plate precut for this conversion, since it seems to be a popular thing to do (ARE YOU LISTENING TRAXXAS???). 25 minutes on NiMH? I dont see how that can be, but ok. I can...
Well one of my Titan 550s was getting really hot, I figured it was on its way out since the truck has been getting slower over the last few battery pakcs, so I Ebay'ed me up a 775 Titan motor and...
The E-Maxx is a pretty stout machine. It can take alot of abuse and you will have a blast with it. The only things I have broken on my E-Maxx are 3 rear shock towers and 1 front bulkhead, but I blame...
This is an old "Spec Class" racer trick, it does break the brushes in alot faster, but it also shortens the life if done wrong. We used to do it back in the 90's when we ran oval cars that required...
Step 1: Install batteries in truck.
Step 2: Install Batteries in the radio.
Step 3: Turn on radio.
Step 4: Turn on truck.
Step 5: Drive the truck until batteries die.
Step 6: Recharge batteries....
If you want to you can, but there wont be any advantage to it. The servo saver spring will give up before you get the full benefit of a stronger servo than what the dual 2075's gives you (250ish...
Well i had to do some work on my EMaxx the other day and my hex drivers dont fit quite right, a little loose. They fit fine in all the fasteners on my Revo and on my RC8B & RC8E but they are really...
I think it could be the supplied batteries. Mine pooped out after 10 runs or so, dropped cells and just didnt have any get up and go. I went with a pair of race style 7 cell batteries, 5000mah and...
The main reason that most people dont use stick packs with brushless setups is because the welded and crinkled battery tabs that connect them create alot of heat and therefore max the packs overheat....
I dont think you are going to notice a loss of runtime by just changing the servos. I did the dual 2075 upgrade on my E-Maxx and the only things I noticed are that the truck steers better and faster!...
I totally agree with this, throttle control is key on a high power brushless system. I run the MMM with a 2200 in my 1/8th scale buggy, on 7.4v it is very controlable, but hard to make some of the...
One thing you need to look at when ordering the chinese lipos is the size of the pack. Alot of them are thin enough to fit under the battery hold downs, but they are too wide, seems the average...
Well I plan on using it until the snow is gone, then drop the Mamba system in. I drive it 5-6 times a week, sometimes more.
Time will tell. Geared properly though it should be capable.
So youre saying the VXL is a junk system? If you arent overheating it, it wont give you problems.
I called Traxxas tech line and they said dont do it, the E-Maxx is too heavy. I never listen anyways and have experience with Brushless systems. I went down 1 tooth on the pinion, now geared 16/68. I...
I went with Jammin 16mm fronts all around.

Pede I just changed my shocks recently, check out my thread, explains what you need to do it. I revised my shock oils yet again and went upto 55wt.

Tackett, the E-Maxx Brushless comes with the 2.4ghz system in it, unless you want the waterproof truck, get that instead, its faster.
Pothole, yes you can use the same transmitter with different...
Here is my EMaxx and Slash. The Slash is all stock other than the body. The EMaxx has Revo tires, 17mm Jammin big bore shocks, 2 2075 Traxxas Digital steering servos and a pair of 5000mAh 7cell...
The reason for going with 1 on each corner is they are massive and sooooo smooth. Crazee, they are excellent on big air, that was the reason Jammin, Losi, AE and all other big buggy comanies went...
