all in all I think its a very good upgrade to the current maxx. The diffs, single speed and dual servo setup are nice. I think they will sell a lot of them just not to many of us with converted revo's and truggies.

Yeah I don't see too many hardcore ERevo people switching. should be interesting to see tho how this pans out vs Tekno's Revo conversion kit. The Emaxx1.5 will still sell more undoubtedly as its factory and cheaper than a converted Revo, but its still bash oriented. The Revo will still be the king racer.

Does anyone else think this will kill the chances for an ERevo anytime in the near future? The 1/8 E market is not that big yet, so I don't see a whole lot of push to get one out. The big thing about the Revo is being race worthy, but a titan setup would be not be up to it, and the VXL Revo would be even more expensive. IE I think RCM and Tekno are going to be safe for a while w/ Revo conversions.

Must say tho, the Emaxx1.5 + FLM 1/8th bulks would make a great almost-outta-the-box basher.

I dont thisnk this kills the chances for an E-Revo at all. If you think about it logically they have a nitro maxx and a nitro revo. If they didnt upgrade the Emaxx and went straight to the E-Revo it would have totally killed the emaxx. this way they get to keep both platforms.

i actuall find it interesting that the new Emaxx has so many revo parts on it. Makes it easy to transition to the revo IMO. I think someone mentioned earlier wondering if the new tranny would bolt up to the revo chassis. If it does, there is your first sign that the e-revo is not to far away.

Anyone happen to notice if the revo center diff will "fit" the new emaxx tranny? That would be a cool upgrade.

That would definitely be an awesome upgrade to add if it fits.

It looks pretty good. Most of the upgrades were very thoughtful. The main thing I like about it is that it is waterproof. If I was to buy it, that would be the only/main reason. I would just use it as a vacation car for when I go to the mountains. Now you just have to worry about the battery connectors getting wet...

I am still awaiting the E-Revo and 4s/5s/6s BL system though, which IMO will be the greatest hits for the public.
