emaxx or tmaxx? which has more power? which one is easy to use? which one is over all better?

I myself like the E-Maxx better but I'm not sure what is really better because I'm new to this RC stuff.

**MilkMachine**

it all depends what you like, if you like nitro more, then the T-Maxx, if you like eletric more, then the E-Maxx!

e-maxx is much more user friendly, and much higher torque than the t-maxx, but it has a slower top speed. If one is newer to r/c, i would recommend the e-maxx, but if someone has some nitro experience, or wants to start in nitro i would recommend the t-maxx. I would rather personally have a savage, tnx, or mgt over the t-maxx, (all about the same price). One thing about the e-maxx that is cool is brushless setups, they can shell out some crazy speed and torque, it could easily smoke a t-maxx in that respect. The e-maxx for about 500 total can be upgraded to smoke a t-maxx with 500 in upgrades, so performance wise, the e-maxx could be better. All a matter of choice though, if you like nitro or electric.

Other things to consider are the noise. The E-Maxx can run anywhere while the the buzz/whine of the T-Maxx can make your neighbors whine louder. Also after a day of driving the T-Maxx will be coated with fuel/dirt/exhaust that can be all over the wires, electrics and chassis. This can be a mess to clean. The only real advantage to gas is slightly higher top speed (monster trucks are not top speed vehicles but off road thunder bums) and longer runtimes. But the electric has better torque and acceleration which is one of the funnest and mos important aspects of speed. The new 3300 batteries extend the electric run times but after a set of batts the motors must cool for 3 - 6 minutes often under a fan where the T can just keep cruisin. Gas motors can also be finicky and add another layer of skill required for tuning, starting and problem solving etc.

i would get the emaxx but ppl say that after the first few mins it really starts to lose preformence. does the preformence really drop that much after a wile? when does it start to lose preformence? and nitro is messy but it can run for a long time. i just dont know which one. any more ideas to help make my decision?

Infinite Gundam

I don't race my emaxx, just bashing around, so the slight drop in performance as the batteries discharge does not bother me.

DarkSavageX

what would be the best batteries for the emaxx and about how long would it run on them?

Infinite Gundam

GP's and Sanyo's (3300 and above) are the best batteries. My 3000 packs can last me around 20 mins.

DarkSavageX

will the 3300 fry a stock one?

Infinite Gundam

The EVX can handle 6 or 7 cell packs, the capacity (3300, 3600 etc) does not matter.

DarkSavageX

cool. so the tmaxx can run long and is faster but is messy and takes some work. the emaxx has power and is easy to use but does have a long run time. i dont know. i do want a gas one but the emaxx seems very nice

Infinite Gundam

I love my emaxx. It's ok, take your time to decide .

Salty0790

the only reason i want to get a nitro truck is because:

1. i have never had a nitro one, and i love gas things.
2. i absolutely HATE having to recharge my battery thing every 15-20 mins.

thats about it. i would get a t-maxx because if you have problems with it, you have hundreds of people on this forum to help you solve your problem. i think that you will have more fun with it anyway. take time to decide.

DarkSavageX

i think il get tmaxx. it will keep me more busy and it can run for a long time so i think il get it. i just hope its not too hard

So what was the point of using a poll? The E-Maxx clearly won...

DarkSavageX

just to see who liked what more. but iv heard better things about the tmaxx so il get it.

My Feedback: (15)

nitro isnt that hard once you get used to it and you aggravate a few people here asking a bunch of questions its pretty easy to understand

DarkSavageX

o sorry. i just got back into rc and was just woundering what to get. thanks to thos who helped.

Hey, don't worry about it = JUST HAVE FUN!!! They are BOTH TOTALLY AWSOME trucks. We are so lucky to have the BEST toys that ever were on the planet!!!

ITHURTZ

you have to charge/ replace batteries in nitro to for the servo's

DarkSavageX

Tyler24
