Last but not least is the GorillaMaxx 3905 @ just under $2800













Bottom Line the stock Traxxas 3905 E Max is one hell of a basher!, 6s is really to fast for it, you can do wheelies @ 45+ mph but it is extremely unstable at those speeds in this truck. It’s a basher not a racer, to achieve these speeds you will need to of course upgrade all of the drive train

The FLM version is a great basher and somewhat track friendly, however the GM version of the 3905 is totally awesome!. Mainly track but a basher no the less.

Personnel opinion:
Go with the E Revo, (not the new one) convert you own out of a 3.3 best investment you’ll make.. It will handle so much better than the 3905, it will be lighter than the 3905 and more impotently you will be much happier with the E-Revo..


Nothing!.. Hahahahaaa..

I've ever convert a 3.3 into brushless and i don't want to remake it another time.
I want a stock machine that i'll only remove the stock electric and put my Neu motor, MGM and my li-po.

Don't want to invest lot of money, this one will stay stock except for the brushless system.

Just want to know wich one have the better tranny and better diffs.

And as i can see the e-maxx have .8MOD gear, and all my gear that i have yet is MOD1.

the E Revo and the E maxx both use the .8 Mod gearing the same tranny I believe if not the same diffs thay are very similar, and the slipper clutch setup. The main difference is the chassis design and the shock set up, The Revo uses the F1 style that are laying flat Vs the E maxx which are vertical. In addition to the BL motor, ESC and Lipos I would also change out that AM radio

Yep! I've a Futaba 3PM FASST
But i don't understand why they change de gear on the e-revo for MOD 0.8??
On the nitro revo, they use MOD 1, and Traxxas i suppose to know that brushless i harder on the gear than nitro
I think that the E-Maxx have a simple design to work on.

I believe the BL will bolt right up with no mods at least the drivetrain( diffs, drivelines)

Traxxas took the drivetrain from an Emaxx and put it in a Revo chassis...its a good design and well balanced with my BL Revo the balance is a little heavier to the battery side since I run a heavier battery..since I dont race annd just run a wide open areas its a non issue
