What do you call these trucks?

Maybe a better term would be an ''E-Maxx Style'' truck. Cuz I agree.... there are actually very few parts left from an emaxx on there. Its actually kinda funny you say that, I was thinking the same thing not to long ago. When I started building my e-maxx, I went out and bought a used e-maxx to start with. Before long I had my truck and an entire box full of parts. Well I put those parts to gether and sold it as an emaxx that was almost identical to the one I originally bought. So I wound up literally replacing every single part on the original truck with an aftermarket part. Could have saved a lot of hassle by just buying all of the pats and then putting it together. I guess when I started I had no intention of ever taking it that far.

Too funny, me niether! 3200.00 later! LOL. It's still an emaxx, or Gmaxx, or just plain old BL powered TRUCK! I brought mine to the LHS to show my buddy...his first words were..."what the hell is that!?" I told him to look at his T Maxx, he said "yeah?" It used to be that but the emaxx!:005:

I did exactly the same thing. My Supermaxx/Emaxx has a couple trans gears, shift dog, and diff gears. Otherwise not a single E-maxx part.

I label it a MAXX because that's what it is stock or aftermarket.

I do not have a name for it yet. (Not Steve, not Donna, etc.)

But I may come up with a fun name for it..............TBD.


side note...........Rene, you're killing me man! You are too funny somedays!
