Pros and cons of both

E-Maxx Pros-1)No engine tuning, 2) not noisy like a t-maxx 3)Not as messy as nitro

T-Maxx Pros-1) faster than an E-Maxx, ,2) Just gas and go in between runs

E-Maxx cons-1)Have to charge the batteries after about 7 minutes of running it., 2)Slower than T-Maxx

T-Maxx cons-1) Loud (if you consider this a con, I consider this a pro), 2)Have to break in the engine and tune the carb (and keep it tuned). 3) can get messy (nitro fuel).

I have a T-Maxx and would never go E-Maxx unless I didn't have a choice and had to run indoors.
