Wasn't there also the SportMaxx? S-Maxx was 4wd with no reverse and the SportMaxx was 2wd with reverse, I think? Or is it the oher way around?

With regards to AE producing so many buggies/trucks/TCs, they have been mostly fresh platforms. T3 aand T4 share almost no parts, same for B3/B4, TC3/TC4/TC5, etc.

If most hobby shops are like my local spot I know exactly why Traxxas is putting it out. Lots of people new to the hobby will come in and ask, which is fastest nitro or electric ect..... usual questions. And lots of times they just want to buy once, having it all in one package makes it more appealing. Just a guess though.

I really wish that Traxxas would offer an upgrade to the diffs, I like everything else about my Maxxes but the diffs and if they are going to continue to mass market the MMM combos they are eventually going to have to address it. That has been the only thing holding me back from an E-Revo. I think Losi has done a great job on the Monster Truck differential and even if you do manage to blow a stock one you can move up to heavier duty.

And just in case the Traxxas people read this, HPI heard the call recently too with the super Heavy duty upgrade for the Flux.

+1,
But don't hold your breath. I think TRX is more worried about numbers than any kind of Strenth related issue. Because the parts are so cheap most peoples don't care anyway.


I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.

Back when the 2.5 T-Maxx was out there was...

T-Maxx - 4wd, 2 speed, reverse.
Sport-Maxx - 2wd, single speed, no reverse.
S-Maxx - 2nd, 2 speed, no reverse.
