It comes with many features that are considered upgrades on the Traxxas Line.
Like PBO said, they are Taiwan based company. They do have some decent cars but nothing spectacular. Also they do indeed sell them in US. http://www.amainhobbies.com/advanced...rooper&x=4&y=8

Biggest problem with Team Magic in Australia is parts support. My friend tried racing a TM car one year (GP on road) and had to miss races because he couldn't get parts. Once he even bought another whole car just for the front CVDs and one suspension arm. Was a real pain for him but me being a basher I guess I could wait till parts arrive. That is if they are stocked well anywhere.

Truck looks OK but I will wait till there is a bit more info about them from owners. There is also suppose to be a kit version coming out soon (according to TM site) which I would much rather prefer. I wonder if the brushed version has exactly the same drive train as the brushless one? Would much rather buy that and fit my own electrics.

I am not sure if I would put the E6 up against the MT4 G3. I think that MT4 still has the upper hand. I love having a CD in a truck and it is built pretty tough. Still no harm in owning a E6 too.

The brushed version are not the same : shock tower 4mm vs 5mm for E6, hardened diff for brushed vs CNC hardened diff, motor mount 4mm brushed vs 5mm E6.

Amainhobbie have the truck for sale but no spare part and no store in USA and Canada have part, after that, i have the idea to call the distributor of team magic in Europe and less than 24 hour i receive a message with link for spare part rcshopping and he will talk to amainhobbie for sale line (spare part) !

Hi Samuel ,

Thanks for your mail .

We will check with A Main Hobbies if they will put the parts on their sales line.
And if you need the parts urgent, you could try order them from RC Shopping first.
