Well i was sitting here pricing brushless things out and thought about something. For about the same price as it would be to make my emaxx brushless i could buy a crt.5 and make it brushless. Emaxx would get the following:

MMM= $280
Pinion= $20
After S+H= $320(or around that price)

Now i found a crt.5 on ebay. It would get the following:
Crt.5= $180 after shipping
MM= $170 OR VXL= $145 (which do you guys think is better?)
Pinion= $15
After S+H= ~$380(MM) $355(VXL)

Now i know that it would cost about $60 more BUT i have an hpi mt2 im about to sell for $120. So i would take that money and put it torwards the Crt.5 which would mean i would only be spending about $260 all together. If i take that $120 and put it torwards the emaxx i would spend about $220. I have a little more than $510 in the bank. So after everything i would still have about $265 in the bank. But i can tell you right now its gonna take alot of butt kissing to convince my parents to let me spend over $300 dollars on just motor and esc. But if im spending that money on a whole other truck there wont be as much butt kissing involved. So after all this BS i just typed and after everything you just read... what would you do? Brushless maxx or brushless Crt.5? Open to all opinions.

Btw heres the link to both Crt's I was looking at
