I would choose the Maxx.

I would make a e-mgt, tired of 1400 maxxes

the MGT is much stronger in stock form IMO.

I made it today had to take the trans out of my E-Maxx, so I need a E-Maxx trans for it.
I need to put some batterys on it,

I like it, It was not had to put the E-maxx trans in it.

in your case would choose the gt because its only benifit, you dont have to have the g-maxx for more cell room, so part of the gt lets you have 7+ cells side by-side.

But personally, i have the g-maxx so i would go with the e-maxx.

I would go mgt. It has the good diffs in it so no upgrades. It has cvds in it so no upgrades. Put the steel idlers in the emaxx tranny and you ready. You may have to get a little stiffer springs for shocks. I have did two so far. I like them both. One is my brothers now.

farmer 08.03.2006 05:10 PM

coolhandcountry, got any pics of you MGT?

Rtsbasic 08.03.2006 05:29 PM

Whats performance like in an E-MGT compared to an Emaxx on the same power? I'd imagine quite a bit more sluggish thanks to the extra weight.

If I had the choice out of the two I'd go for the E-MGT, and run 14 cells. Simply because it needs less upgrading than an Emaxx and should be stronger. Plus its bigger :)

farmer 08.03.2006 06:40 PM

I think it will be sluggish as well, but I don't know.
I order the parts to make the E-MAXX trans today.

coolhandcountry 08.03.2006 09:19 PM

I can get a weight on the mgt. I run 16 cells on mine. If you go with the gmaxx carbon fiber battery hold down. You can go 16 cells as well. I modded mine out and put a gmaxx bottom plate on it to lower the cog. I have a thread on it around here. It is in the general electric cause it started with titans on it. The mgt looses some weight with nitro lost. It gains some from batteries. I was thinking of selling my gmaxx to get another mgt to play with.
I got 12.5 lbs rtr with with 16 ib 3800 cells on it two speed tranny. It will wheelie on command if gets traction. I am still playing with my shock setup at the moment.

i'd say E MGT.

farmer 08.04.2006 04:21 PM

I think am going to make the MGT brushless, and run 14 or 16 cells.

coolhandcountry what Motor and all was you runing in your MGT, and how did it run? would it run with nitro trucks at a track?

coolhandcountry 08.04.2006 04:26 PM

I have run a 9xl and now a 1950 8t with schulze 18.97. I don't race. It handles great though. I am pretty happy with it. I may see about a video this weekend if I can.

farmer 08.04.2006 04:57 PM

I was thinking about a Wanderer 9XL and a Warrior 9920, will this run with nitro trucks? How many cells should I run? (I will be runing no more than 16 cells)
