Dual Motors, Dual Speed:
Stuffed into this little powerhouse is not one but two 14V Titan 550 high torque electric motors. Fan-cooled, the dual motors provide maximum power to the 5-Spoke 3.2" ground-ripping tires. The armatures are also 30% longer than the stock RS 540 motors used in the past.Not only does the E-Maxx offer dual motors but it also has a two speed transmission, a total of twenty-eight sealed ball bearings, a sealed gearbox to prevent perfomance-robbing dirt and debris from getting in. Oh, and let's not forget that it is also shaft-driven which makes it fast, fun and durable.Maxx-imum Suspension:
The E-Maxx has a whopping 4" ground clearance and is complmented by a total of eight oil-filled shocks and you know what that means? Crushing other RCs or fake crunchy cars (made out of aluminum), big jumps, and rough terrain are a snap for the E-Maxx.Chassis, Controller, ESC:
The chassis ain't nothing to laugh at either. The E-Maxx chassis is a molded composite nylon tub chassis for durability and has battery cut-outs to lower the center of gravity thus allowing for high-speed cornering.The radio transmitter is a 3-channel TQ radio control system. A Novak ESC (Electronic Speed Control), a pre-painted ProGraphix body, and the minor tools come included to complete the awesome package of the E-Maxx.
Monster Speed:
Want to get down to the question that is on every RC enthusiast's mind "How fast does it go?" Well, with two 6-cell battery packs it tops out at around 23 MPH and at around 30 MPH using two 7-cell battery packs. That's just as fast as its big brother the nitro T-Maxx in stock condition.Minor Issue: Weight:
This little guy weighs in at a heavy 10 lbs. loaded with battery packs. Having to charge two packs instead of just one can be time-consuming but it can still pull awesome wheelies from a stand still.Don't Forget the Batteries:
Like most RTR vehicles, the only things it doesn't come with is eight AA batteries, two 7.2 volt racing battery packs, and a battery charger. When it comes to battery chargers I like using a peak charger to charge my batteries to prevent overheating and overcharging which can result in battery damage over time.Traxxas E-Maxx Bottomline:
I believe the Traxxas E-Maxx stacks up nicely against HPI's newest creation the E-Savage or maybe the TXT-1 made by Tamiya. With the E-Maxx's quick acceleration and overall fun factor even some nitro-powered monster trucks have a hard time keeping up.My overall opinion of this truck is that it's a lot of fun for beginners and and the experts that are looking for something different. The E-Maxx retails at around $325-$350US with everything included.
