Emaxx 3905 budget setups?

[Gee]

I don't have the 3905 I skipped it and built a e-revo. My maxx was already better then the 3905 but thought I would add some input.

E-revonut has some good advice. But if you can't swing the $$ and you going to be doing this in stages. I save up some money and watch ebay or the forums. Should see a large number of 3905's going up for sale so they can get the e-revo. Pick up the MMM and run the Novak until the MMM motor comes out or you save up enough for a nice motor. The 4.5 does real good in the maxx on 4s when geared right. If your going cheap on the lipo you will probably have to buy another one by the time you get your list filled. The batteries are tough, can't run 5s on the Novak but you could pick up some 2s pack and run four then add a 3s to run 5 . No experience with the zippy packs but you get what you pay for.
