RE: e max vs. ezilla
It's really nice getting/reading info from various forums (fora?). I have been debating between the E-Zilla and the Maxx, and, upon checking at prices locally (Philippines), the Zilla is considerably cheaper (Maxx $400+, Zilla $320+ -- both after taxes, shipping, etc... from LOCAL retailers).
Parts/Hopups-wise, they're about the same -- they're both not common (not surprising, considering that the minimum daily wage in my third-world country is about US$6/day, so R/C is generally reserved for the well-to-do).
Since parts are both scarce and expensive, it's nice to know that the Zilla is a durable. Will probably be purchasing right after New Year's...
Thanks to all the information givers on this thread!
