If you are truly looking for something a little bit bigger and pretty well made look at the Global Hobbies XTM/MMT. I saw it a few weeks ago and started checking it out for a new play toy. It comes pretty well equipt right out of the box. It is a nitro beast that is just perfect for an E-conversion. Most of the truck is constructed of metal parts, and it looks to be plenty tough. For under $400 RTR I believe that it is a good start up vehicle, and it looks a little bigger than the Emaxx. I think People hobbies carries it.
