No, the differentials are stock, as is the rest. So, I'm looking at:

tranny - $73
cups - $50
cvds - $50
motor mount - $38
slipper clutch - $20?
ESC - $150
motor - $100
dogbones/knuckles - __ ?

That puts the project around the $400 mark without batteries. I wonder if I'm better off buying a Rustler VXL for roughly same price. Not quite the same truck, but still fun. Problem is, I'd be stuck with my non-working upgraded e-maxx that does not run - couldn't get $175 for it off eBay when I tried to unload it.

How much do typical brushless emaxx owners have invested?
