Personally after 8 years of different trucks in different configs I am a big fan of simpler is better.

First I use aluminum sparingly as it adds unneeded weight and creates weak points in other places. Second two motor setups in brushless are really not worth it and can be replaced by single more powerful and efficient setups. Third is to consider a revo before sinking any more cash into the e-maxx.

I own a maxx as well and it's a great truck, but it has many weak spots that are almost nonexistent on the revo. The revo is simply a better engineered design and is tougher in stock form than most maxx's that are extremely hopped up. It also handles speed and power much better than the maxx design.

As jerry said also consider some other options to build such as converting a muggy, lst2, savage or other. If it were me I would get rid of the novaks and integy, go with a sinlge motor neu setup and replace the aluminum with RPM, put the new e-maxx chassis on there, and build another truck with the money you want to spend.

I agree completly with the entire post, and I have learned from trial and error, now if I had a dependable ESC I would be out running right now....
