I am sure that you will get a few different opinions on this matter. I have two stock EMaxx trucks for the kids, then like you I started with an Integy Maxx with the HV 4.5 Novak system. I still have that one and I am always changing out parts trying to improve upon my creation. Then I found out about the Unlimited Engineering stuff. Wow is that a huge improvement from Integy stuff. although the owner seems to be somewhat reluctant to share his plans for the R/C side of his house the stuff is still the best on the market. If you can get you hands on some of that gear you will love it. Now if you wish ot build a truck that is not too expensive and still has very good CNC machined pasrt then you can collect the RCM sold FLM parts for the Maxx line and built one heck of a truck. It all depends on how much money you wish to spend and how long you want to take to build it.

As for the electronics side that is also a bit of a canundrum to figure out. There are some pretty good motors on the market that will deliver a wide range of wanted specs. The Plettenberg "Big Maximum" is probably the king, followed by the "Neu" line of motors plus a few others that can deliver quite an impressive power plant. For your ESC choices just to name a few of the best out there you have the newly released MMM by CC, the MGM line, Tekin RX8 pro, the Quark MK3 pro and the list just keeps growing.

Then to go along with your upgraded R/C truck you have to get Lipo batteries with charger & balancer, and a good radio that can control such power.

You can have a ball on your projects and spend a ton of $$$$ building the fastest, strongest, and most impressive rig, but once you get started it never stops. Unless like some guys we have seen, you have to answer to a higher power (The Wife) & she gives you an ultimatum. We see that often on here. This is not a cheap kids game in here. You can go as far as your wallet and you imagination will allow. If you like the EMaxx design there is tons of info in here as well as a few other trucks, Buggies, and Truggies if you want to go in a different direction. Best of luck in your quest.
