Reminds me of a story about schulze..... (quality/service story.. )

Nothing wrong with UE though, a very serious producer of topnotch stuff..

I heared names of companies that I've never known before, like feroni-veroni( something like that) and ceramic bearings from acer racing ( I know that one very well and I hate the way they served me) as well as Ti screw kit from another company and blah,blah,blah....the bad thing is, however, the truck weighs around 13KG (that's what some of my friends said, though I cant believe it) its almost equal to 90+ lb?????!!!!! Well as some says " seeing is believing" only when I get a hold of it I can tell you more. Wish me luck.

13kg is about 28 lbs..

Well, do you find it heavy for a brushless to handle it? Sorry for the miscalculations, BTW.

13kg, that is allmost imposible, unless it's a 1/4th scale. (my heavy aluminium savage weights about 15 lbs with 16 cells rtr.

it can be pushed around with brushless though, it just takes a little bigger motor. :p

Ti screw kit. There you have it. That's asking for stripped screw's.

13 kilo?! That's a instant no-no. I'll love to see some pictures cause I find it hard to believe. Even if you throw a 30 serie's bl motor in it, it will not be pretty to drive. Let alone how many part's your going to wear out. No i'm pretty sure you'll be better off with that supermaxx.

I'll go to him and I'll check it out anyway. I've spoken to Mike about my project and we're progressing just fine.

its worth $1000 but thats it! if it had VBS or if it was brushless then it'd be worth more. Even breaking it up and selling it off you'd have trouble getting more than 1000 - 1200

chassis: 250
bulkheads: 80
diff cases: 60
skids: 80
wheels: 100
cvds: 90
tranny: 60-100
motor/esc: 90
body: 70
im probably missing a lot, but thats the bulk of it and good guess may I say.

Either way I cant get it meanwhile, since it is only going to be shipped to canada and I do have enough money for it, but not for alot of other things IT will need. About that highly priced T-Maxx: its a SuperMaxx, actually around 3-5 Kilos in weight and the guy is asking for 1100 dollars to sell it away, however, I would like to get the good stuff from Mike and from him I'll get it. I just found a good old e-maxx for only 109 dollars from Dubai and I thought about buying it and work on it with the help of the members of this forum.

sold for $1800 .. i reckon its it rich .. its only worth $1000

$1800 could of almost built a new one from UE

Well, bye bye UE maxx.

Wow! $1800!! Yeah, I agree -- I think for that much you could build your own very nice truck.

Will a $2000 give me a top rated aluminum e-maxx?

If you chooise the part's right, yes.
