Great Idea with this thread... it's awesome..!!
-After my biggest upgrade Back then, The E-maxx. I try to keep all of my conversions stock as possible and have 2 or 3 of each. I now only get option parts when/if I keep breaking the same part(s).

Sportwerks Mayhem Pro

Feigao 12XL/6-8S1P A123 &(or) PQ3700mAh/OEMRC ESC/TrueRC BEC/Mech Brakes
+ / Driveline & Diffs are tough, haven't broken anything on this conversion yet.
- / Hard to fit batteries when wanting to use mechanical brakes.

Overall: I love this buggy! Stock components are just tough.

AE RC10T3

LMT Basic 4200/4S1P A123 &(or) PQ3700mAh/Schulze 18.61K/HXT BEC
+ / Drop in, and roll. Plenty of option parts.
- / MIP CVDs keeps breaking, stock rear knuckles keeps melting, stock front and rear shock towers are wimpy.

Duratrax Mini Quake SE

HXT 3800/2-3S1P Lipo 1500mah &(or) 5 Cell GP1100 2/3A/Mamba 25
+ / Drop in and roll. Tough little truck all around.
- / Pain in the butt to change spur gears, hard to fit 1800mAh or 2200mAh Lipos.

Traxxas Rustler

Kontronik Twist/3S1P PQ4400mAh/Schulze 18.61K/HXT BEC
+ / Parts were readily available, and price pretty good, Drop in and roll
- / Stock transmission and driveline need an upgrade to handle brushless power.

Traxxas T-Maxx

Feigao 15L/6-8S1P A123 &(or) PQ3700mAh/OEMRC ESC/TrueRC BEC
+ / Lots of option parts and are readily available. Light monster truck.
- / Stock driveline and shafts are wimpy, hard to fit batteries,

Overall: I wouldn’t do this conversion again, it’s really not worth the time and money spent. Just too wimpy, but if you have one, might as well convert it.
