Got an answer from the Traxxas forum:
"You have got to change you computer time zone to US central time zone first. Then, you will see the "NEXT" clock is still countdown about 5:30 hours to go."

New E-maxx!!!

[no mods]

a new E maxx?

[rchippie]

I dont see anything yet.

[Finnster]

NEW EMAXX!!!

close...

Kinda disappointed. Nice improvements to the E-Maxx, and alluding to future brushless power, but not radical like I had hoped. I won't buy one.

I just saw it. Waterproof e-maxx basically. Some other cool new things though. Waterproof servos and a new tranny most notably.

Its waterproof

Cool;

camshaft servo saver.. new gearbox..

New chassis, and basically brushless ready. "optional" auto 2 speed, so does that mean it come set up with a single speed.


I guess they dont have the vxl5 or 6 ready yet so release its basically ready to run with brushless power.

It still will need diffs IMO. Other than that it looks ready to roll with brushless.


Not bad traxxas. Still would rather see a revo.

Yeppers, the Revo conversion will still own, but nice to see something for the Emaxxers. I would guess the BL was not done as it was too expensive at this point. For a RTR, it would be a hard sell at surely $600+ when the nitro Mts are cheaper than that, and just need fuel.

Funny thing is, aside from the tranny and st servo, not much improves upon the aftermarket stuff avail for the maxx. A much better truck outta the box, but I don't see a huge surge away from FLM and others coming.

dual steering servo's.. optional single motor motorplate.. Neat..

These diffs look different than the revo types.. there is more metal in them?

Did I just hear Tekno breath a sigh of relief?


They do say its setup for dual VXL installation. So we were all (almost) right.

Its a "maybe-BL VXL 3.3 BoatMaxx" lol

A big one!


I wonder if the gmaxx chassis and all will still bolt up. I would imagine they wouldnt change it that much. Still keeping all of the basic geometry and all. The new tranny look like it will eliminat the need for the Gmaxx single speed conv though.
