The maxx design is old, yes, but i do not think it is out of date. Aside from being one ofthe smaller MT, it is the only electric MT worth anything (sorry E-savage). Plus with the new emaxx traxxs has attempted to solve some of the short comings of the previous design, that was a bit long in the too. Stronger tranny, dual steering, better diffs and driveshafts, longer wheelbase, and numerous other mods and tweaks. It is kind of like what they did with the 3.3 tmaxx compared with the std maxx. Dig improvements all the way around. Traxxas must have the all time best selling vehicle here. The tmaxx is about 8 years old now?! That is a long time to run a model, and they still sell, mainly cause the price is good, and it is an easy to use truck, especially for beginners. I see Losi bringing out a selection of xxx brushless vehicles. Their novak brushless stuff was aimed at the stock class race side of the market. I had a brushless xxx-t and it was painfully slow, and could only handle 2s. It would be nice if they brought out an electric LST based truck, Maybe the Spaminator, or Spanumition!
