The nice thing about a T-Maxx is that your only spending $400-500 to get 40+ mph. A brushless setup will cost $400-500 on top of the cost of the truck. But once you've gone brushless you never go back. I tell ya I've raced many tricked out tmaxx's (even ones that are so insanely fast that you barely have control over it) with my Emaxx and when the race is over I either won or am very happy because I don't have to deal with the mess. 3 out of 5 starts usually end up with the T-maxx stalling because itchy fingered people stale the engines by giving it full throttle from the line.

Its even funnier when I see all these guys with Nitro's trying to debug their engine, borrowing each others glow starter because the batteries on theirs are dead, or they just have problems. While their tinkering, I'm practicing laps and jumping around on the course. I like messing with my truck, just not at the track. I'd rather leave the upgrades and maintanence at home.

anyway Emaxx's have their plus's. Don't get me wrong, Nitro's are cool too (I have a electric starter on my HPI RS4 so lifes a lot easier) but I'd definitly go emaxx + brushless combo.
