New E-Maxx vs Future Brushless E-Maxx - RC-Monster Forums

suicideneil · 12.17.2007, 01:08 PM

Rumour & here-say. No-one knows what the BL RTR Emaxx will be powered by, but there have been rumours around here for a long time that Traxxas are working with feigao on a single large BL motor, so it makes sense. Plus, Traxxas went to a lot of trouble with the new tranny and single motor mount & cover option, so I believe we will see a big BL motor for the new truck sometime next summer I imagine. Or just buy the MMM in feb....

Fact: Traxxas has put together a "brushless ready" E-Maxx.
Fact: They TESTED it with dual brushless system and put out pic's of the tests.
Fact: Traxxas has NOT stated anywhere that it will be offering a full brushless system.

That's about all the facts. Everything else is wishfull thinking.

IMHO. Traxxas did the right thing from a business standpoint. They released a great machine at the same price point as the old Emaxx. Rather than tieing up more capital in design, and even more in inventory, they have given us something more to work with. There is no way they could sell a brushless EMaxx for under 500 bucks, which is quite a bit more than the vast majority of thier customers are willing to spend in one shot. MOST parents are going to choke on the 380 something its retailing at right now (and yes, I am assuming the the majority of RC's are purchased by parents for thier kids).

JThiessen is right on the money. We all know that no matter what the manufacturers put out we are just going to push the limits and rebuild/upgrade/modify and do whatever we can to make it better than the average Emaxx out there. Even if Traxxas puts out an Emaxx with a duel VXL system it will not be good enough for the true RC junkie. There are just too many options out there for us to try and set up our own vehicles to be unique in some way. The stock Emaxx is merely a great starting point for the noobie RC guy or kid who parents are looking for a great toy to give them for Xmas or their birthday

Dwight is one of the main funny characters on "The Office". He often starts sentences by saying, "FACT: ...".

It wasn't a putdown by any means. I could just hear his voice as I read your post.
