There's no way that was a single vxl. Surely a long winded literary battle is necessry for us to ascertain what was truly beneath the lexan lid of your "2wd e-maxx", if that's even what that was. It sounded like a kyosho....

BL-RVO, the oribinal al. gorilla chassis (2mm) come in lighter than the stock e-maxx and is way better for CG.
I counted everything yesterday and I could bring it down to 5.5 to 6lbs with the 4s lipo batts! A 2wd slash weight 5lbs with 2s and 5.5lbs with 3s lipo so
my ultralight maxx is going to kick ass I think!
I've got al turn, al pivot balls, no shifting servo, removed first gears from stock tranny, 4 shocks with trinity heavy springs and 50wt oil, no bumpers, rpm skids, panther komodo tires on claws wheels (145gr each) removed front diff and sliders, al. screws all around
right now i'll put in my 8L but probably a lehner basic ot basic xl soon

I think it is. There are guys from the TRX forum that heve seen it, and there were vids of him racing one of the guys with a MM-7xl on 4s, and it was a close race. The 7xl beat him most of the time. I put one in my E maxx to see what it would do with a MM and 14 NiMh. It was fast, but hit 170f in about 4min. Made me laugh though. Stum also tested one in his revo conversion to see what it would do and got 37.9mph out of it. He has a vid of it. I'll let him post it if he wants. Not a recomended setup by any means.

Haha. I've dealt with this for a while. Take a gander at this video

And this was in 4wd.

Edit- Oh and this is the truck after a long, hard bash session

It should clear up any misconceptions of what is "beneath the lexan lid".
