I just go the e-revo about a week ago and its stock right now, until the mmm/castle-neu motor combo comes out(sounds like it will be stock for a while). Its fun but not as fun as brushless.

So you're saying in stock form, the E-maxx, on 6 cell packs isn't that fun to you? You don't like driving through water, you only like speed runs. Since your e-maxx is only doing, 25mph, does that mean that you're not very impressed stock?

Right now it's between a stock E-maxx, and my Stampede for me. I really want the E-maxx and since you have both, I'm wondering what your thoughts are.

I thought you said that you don't need speed to have fun? Now you're saying that all you do is speed runs? I'm confused here man. [&:]

thanks man! yes i have a stampede, the wheelie bar for the emaxx is designed to fit the emaxx, same wheelie bar just one a lil bigger, i recommend the blue aluminum ball bearing wheels on the wheelie bar tho, they have rubber tires and make wheelies SOOO much more long and straight, the truck is not that heavy, once i get the 2 big titans and evx2 out of there next weekend itll be brushless and have 4s lipo so that will decrease the weight alot. below is my VXL pede just incase you wanted to see, it is on 3s lipo. also guys im going to take some pics of the emaxx posing outside, just rained so i should get some nice shiny pics. post in a lil bit.

i am impressed stock, and i dont ONLY do speed runs, but speed is nice, the truck is VERY fun stock, its just that i want more speed and that i can afford a BL system and i already have one on the way to my house, you dont NEED speed to have fun with an emaxx, its just that my batteries i have, i hate them, and that i dont have to wait longer than a week for a bl system and 4s lipo, thats all, if i had to wait like a few months or a year, id still be very happy i own an emaxx

i know they not made for speed, the BL setup and 4s lipo i have planned will get me like 45 mph, which is plenty fast for my neighborhood as i do not have alot of room, speed runs are fun, and so is bashing, going through water, ehh, not so much, i wanted something that can go over 40 mph, go through thick grass and dirt and rocks with no problem, and thats what my emaxx will be next weekend.

thats a cool pede body. if you have a 4s lipo you will have 14.8v. If you have 2 7 cell batteries you will have 16.8v so your truck will be faster. I am buying some 7 cell batteries for my BL e-maxx. my e-maxx will go 45+ with 7 cells.
