New here and needed some help.

The FLM or Maximizer diff cups inside aluminum cases work quite well when built properly. You could also choose the FLM combo bulks(and you wouldn't need the diff cups). I have all the mentioned items(appears to be a nice lway to start). You probably wouldn't need to bother with buying the e-maxx, though. Opt for the g-maxx chassis from the start. Most of the parts listed will replace almost the whole truck! I could assemble a parts list for you with or without the emaxx to start with (build as you go).
