Now let's add some fuel to the fire. I have heard many arguments stating that Traxxas E-Maxx trucks break a lot. Some people even claim that they break just about every time they use them. Others do claim good reliability and toughness with E-Maxx, but my main reason for choosing the E-Savage is toughness and speed. I have come across very few reports that the e-savs break easily and qutie a few that claim they are tough as nails.
So here's the fuel---what separates E-Maxx from the knockoffs? Seriously. They are an older design. Their reliability and toughness seem to vary greatly---some people say they never break yet others say they are always in the shop. Poor quality control? People who own reliable machines have spent hundreds of dollars upgrading everything to aluminum etc. Would you not get the same results if hop up parts were available for the knockoffs?
I can hear the Traxxas faithfuls now---"Them's fightin' words!"
