Hi, I'm just starting out and need some advice.

I just bought an older Team Assoc. rc-10 truck (thats for my kid) ... and I have a Revo coming in the mail right now. But I got it for a good deal and I'm just going to re sell it on Ebay to get an Electric.

I was thinking I wanted to get an E maxx and go brushless eventually. Is an E maxx what I want?

I think I like the idea of 4 wheel drive, but the Brushless Emaxxs, I have looked at, all have only 1 motor, which would make it 2 wheel drive I'm guessing.

Maybe I don't even need to go brushless?

I don't race, I just want something to have fun with, that can compare to nitro machines. And I want good run times 15 minutes per charge I would think.

I guess I'm asking for a fast all purpose machine. I don't mind dropping a little cash for good batteries and such.

I'm thinking a Emaxx with dual brushless would be pretty sweet, but will that even work, will i get long drive times? Is there a totally different machine I should look into.

And advice would be great. I ready to get into it pretty deep but would like to make a eduacated decision.
