Ok, racing is over with till spring
My RC8T hasn't gotten much use since racing ended, the RC8T is a great racer but I just don't have much fun bashing with it. My crt.5 sits a lot too as it's bred more for a track as well and lacks the clearance and true 4x4 of a MT. Basically I'm looking to get another MT, not a REVO though. I want a true MT, one that looks and handles like one. I love the way the E-maxx looks and the price isn't bad for a new one, $325 from Tower w/ super saver code +free shipping and I can even split it up into 3 payments, comes with 2 7cell nimh packs as well. I have had an E-maxx before and know the ins and outs. Also looked at some new and used E-savages but for a NIB it will cost me the same as a E-Maxx and have no batteries. The Slash 4x4 would be great if it came with a Stampede body and tires. I'm not looking for a speed demon, 30MPH is all I need to be happy for this truck. I would most likely upgrade to brushless in the future but as I said I'm not looking for much speed, just a go anywhere truck and with winter right around the corner a waterproof E-maxx may be fun to have again. I have thought about a mini e-revo but they don't look like a real MT and are to small to really go anywhere. If anyone has any suggestions, anything they want to offer me for a good price or a trade for a CRT.5 would be good. Or someone to push me to get a new E-Maxx. I'm not the biggest traxxas fan but parts support is great and I can easily strap a MMM combo on it gear it for 35MPH or less and know I would have a pretty reliable truck with a couple RPM upgrades.
Please fellow RC-M members help me!
