RPM is great, but if you use cvds, I find that the flexible arms lead to bent cvd shafts. Since a brushless Maxx can easily overpower the stock sliders, cvds are typical. I tend to build from the inside out - rugged chassis, diffs and bulks set the foundation for a reliable machine. I am working on an EMaxx chassis at the moment - the plan is to make it compatible with stock components while upgrading looks, durability, and versatility at a reasonable cost. I am mostly done with the design, but still tweaking some things and indecisive on the battery compartment size - input is welcome.
