The tranny looks liek a single spd, and eliminates alot of the slop in the orig tranny w/ the dog gears. They have spacers for a 2spd add-on.

It has 4 bolts for the chassis, presumably 4mm. The nice thing would be if it would fit onto the revo, put the motor over the shocks and open the motor side back up for batts or electronics. the spur looks to be 32p still tho.

I like the batt holders if they work. Been dreaming up something along these lines, but velcro does work really well.

A roller would be nice, but I don't see it. Nothing else is. they leave you to ebay. :)

I'm sure I could break te driveline. They should have let me test it. :)

Quite alot of new parts, looks good to me! I will have to get one as soon as they are available!

Did you guys see the twin velineon setup they had! Wonder how hot that got during testing!

If you look in the accessories section the single motor plate and gear cover looks very interesting. The fact that they are there means that there will be a single motor 4s vxl emaxx soon. I do not see a 6s system coming out from them. It may have the capability, but we all know that a motor that is optimised for 4s is going to spin too fast and run hot on 6s. Unless they make it 5s compatible, that would be more likely. Something similar to an 8xl would run fine on 4s or 5s. Plus it would be setup to run some sort of off-the-shelf nimh pack. This new emaxx takes 7 cell packs, and that is what traxxas are setting all of their specs to. It will be slow on 12 cells, wonder if that evx2 can handle 16 cells? They do list a bigger battery hold down as an option!

I think they are going to sell a lot of these. Maybe there is still a e-revo conversuion in the works.
