The new E-Maxx is equipped with Revo sealed pivot ball suspension dual-servo steering an all-new transmission Revo sealed differentials a new, longer chassis and waterproof electronics. And that s just the start. Everywhere you look on E-Maxx Traxxas engineers have thoughtfully integrated new enhancements and features that make E-Maxx stronger, easier to use, and most importantly, more fun! |

 Fun, but a bit much for a beginner... |

I just bought this truck a couple of weeks ago. After waiting for the shipping to Afghanistan, I got to run it twice before I suffered my first major mechanical failure. A full speed E-maxx and a tent peg do not do kind things for the suspension. My recommendation would be to deffinitely start out in the beginner setting and get used to the truck. I would also order some extra parts for the drive train and suspension at the time of purchase. I snapped off the lower A-arm and destroyed two shocks. I'm eagerly awaiting my billet aluminum replacement parts so I can get really run the truck as it was meant to be ran.
I don't think that this is a truck to learn on, but if you are looking to get down and dirty in a hurry... You can't do any better. |

| This is a very fun truck. It's incredibly durable, fast, and easy to work on. However, be prepared to spend some cash to buy good batteries and a charger. If you purchase cheap 6-cell batteries (the truck requires dual battery packs), don't expect much run time or the overabundance of power and performance that you see in the videos. With a good set of 7-cell nimh packs (I'm running 5000 mah packs), on the other hand, you can see twenty minute run times that are an absolute blast. Keep in mind that, even with the addition of the optional extended battery hold-down from Traxxas, neither the standard or optional hold-down will slide over a 7-cell hump back pack, so make sure you buy flat packs with Traxxas connectors. I bought the hump back packs under advisement from Tower Hobbies and now I have to use zip ties to hold my batteries in. This truck is somewhat waterproof, not fully waterproof. If you do plan to run through water, take all four wheels off, disassemble the outer axle assemblies, and then pack both the inner and outer axle bearings with a lightweight grease. If you don't, the bearings will likely seize from corrosion and cause a loss of performance as well as drive shaft failure. Other than this, I haven't experienced any problems from this beast of a truck. |
RTR means no batterys or charger

| Excellent car but missleading advertising R(ready)T (to) R (run) should mean lets play as soon as it is out of the box. This one has no batterys and no charger or wire connection adapters |
