dude titans are junk, why would you ever buy them! lol Can't say I've tried the kershaws, but I have the s-600 motors in my emaxx and they work really well. They're cheaper than the titan replacements too. Tower sent me a special offer a few days ago: L31089 is the stock number for a $3 cheaper s-600. Same motor just discounter : )

If you would have been reading along you would have realized that he is looking for a QUICK replacement so he can take his truck with him on vacation. It is possible that he may not get something that has to be shipped on time and I was just saying to pick up what his local hobby shop carries. Which is more than likely a pair of Titans

Are you runnning 6 cells or 7? I've heard that the S600's can burn up pretty easily on 7 cells. Did you gear down?

A RC monster truck is very different than a RC Car. You can't really say that one is more fun to drive than the other. Sure some people will say that a RC Car is more fun and some others will say that a RC Monster Truck is more fun. But I don't think that is what you really meant to ask.
Even comparing one truck to another, it's just a matter of opinion that one may be funner than the other. As for durability, speed and quality, that is another subject which has been done to death in about 50 threads on RCU.

As for my opinion, My son and I love our E-Maxx's and would not trade them for any other RTR Electric Monster truck on the market. We definitely would not trade them for ANY Nitro truck. I would however trade it for a Brushless LST2 that has a XL Brushless motor.

this is all true it all depends on what you think is "fun". you know? i might think beating the hell out of my truck is fun and other might thinks its stupid and would prefer to race.

I'm in a different category. I like to sport run my stuff. I don't like to beat them up and I Don't like to race anymore. I like to go out and see how much fun I can have without breaking something

tall. i really don't bash my pede that hard. but i want to know that this car will be able to take some abuse. i jump maybe 6 ft high, sometimes 10. i want to know that this truck will be more durable then my stampede. especially since it's expensive to fix and very heavy.

post in the thread.
