Yeah, I'll add the new emaxx ratios when it becomes more mainstream.

I don't know what to think about the new maxx really.

Personally, I would've liked to see an even lower CG by putting the motor and electronics on one side and then all the batteries on the other. Of course, I'm thinking lipo cells here, not NiMH.

The motor mount on the tranny looks wrong - just cockeyed enough to be an aesthetic irritation.

The "Revo" diffs seem to have an added plate internally. Wonder what that's about? IMO, they should have at least used an Al cup to prevent flexing.

The slipper is a nice addition. No more trying to hunt down a slipper that'll handle the torque of BL!

Nice to see they went with a better steering mechanism while allowing the use of a high torque single steering servo. And the "Revo spec" shafts and pillow ball setup is nice.

Hmmm. I don't see myself trading in my revo for this new emaxx anytime soon...
