Looking for e-maxx build input...

[suicideneil]

Too much generally speaking- I am at $3000 or so but my truck is 99% aftermarket parts.

I would say the Ruslter VXL is a fine vehicle with a bullet proof driveline as standard, so you would probably be better off with one of those, plus they are cheaper to repair when things break.

As for the emaxx, my advice is to part it out; chassis, bulks, bumpers, tranny, diffs- put them all as individual auctions and you will easily get about $150-$200 back in total.
