A 6s E-Maxx combined with my driving style (brilliant or stupid, but always violent !) isn’t a good combination…

My maxx can’t endure the weight & the power of my new LiFe packs due to the suspension design a bit outdated for the powerful available BL systems and lipo setups.

During a landing, all the weight of the maxx is transferred to the front lower arms, and they break, like the hinge pins. Better shocks could help but 6s + hard bashing is too much for an E-Maxx

A solution would be to use a 4s setup but now it’s 6s or nothing ! So I keep my RPM arms, my LiFe packs, my almost-bulletproof E-Maxx, and I will be more kind with it next times… The next and last step of this build will be to buy Ofna shocks.

I will soon be too busy with my new job (and the first one !) so if I want to keep running RC trucks I need one which is reliable. My ERBE is perfect from this point of view, I will use it with a 6s lipo setup soon . My E-Maxx is and will always be my favorite MT but priorities change ! It was really funny to run it, break it and fix/upgrade it during these years
