The 4000's work well in the E maxx, but it's a lighter truck with a smaller motor. The Direct Drive to Tranny setup in the E maxx draws less than 40 amps continously, and that's a 3530 outrunner.
I believe the outrunners to be very effecient in their use of power and this helps keep the amp draw to a minimum.
The 20C packs should be GREAT compared to what I've been used to running.

Yeah, you may be the first to part out a new emaxx. My lhs has about 6 of them, but my funds are tied up at the moment. I have quite a few things to sell, but am going to wait until after new years. According to your findings the emaxx motor must be drawing somewhere around 40-45 amps , probably less than that on average, but enought to give a 40amp rated pack a workout!
