I finally got a chance to get out and run a full pack through it today. We went to a local school ground, with a dirt soccer field, and took the two 10-eighty launch ramps.
I ran it on my 3S Zippy 4900's, got about 1/2 hour or more of general bashing time in. I did not take my temp gun, but everything felt cool the few times I stopped and checked it (fan on the MMM never came on).
About all I can say is that this truck is impressively tough. I was getting about 50 feet on each jump, and managed to land only about 50% of them. (hitting the ramp at what I would guess to be 30-35mph). It landed on it side, on the back bumper, on a wheel, on the front bumper. Several times I did cart wheels for about 100 feet. Once I managed to hit the ramp at about 45-50, it did two back flips in the air, and landed on the back bumper. To sum it up, I literally tried to beat the crap out of it. Not a single broken piece - body is a little rough, but not torn or tattered (and didnt punch a post through the body either, as is so common with traxxas vehicles for some reason).
My brother in law is still having issues with his emaxx, but managed to jump it twice and broke his rear shock mount, so we called it a night early, and I didnt get a chance to run my new PQ 2S 6000's.

I am extremely impressed with this rig as a basher, and very happy with my decision to buy it. My Revo would have exploded on several of the hit this thing took today.
Different wheels will be a big plus - I noticed similarities in the handling between this and when I put badlands on my Revo - wheelies tended to go soft towards one side or the other, and they really balloon. But I also wonder if having the soft wheels helps dampen some of the hard hits.
If your on the fence about this as a basher, get one now!
