new E-maxx or E-revo?

[E-Revonut]

I've had both the E-MAXX(3905) and the E-REVO, as well as nitro versions of both. Ran both is stock configuration and also both with a MMM/8XL. E-Maxx requires upgrading and still handles like crap next to an E-REVO. Wait a month and get the Brushless Edition E-REVO. The wait may suck but is by far the most cost effective option. You'll have what everyone else has built so far! If you plan on running more than 4s you might be better off building your own and going with a lower kv motor.

I will never get another Emaxx or Tmaxx unless they are severly updated. They are "cool" trucks. Like a new school Mustang. Looks awesome but lacks in the power department and it has way out dated equipment.
I would highly sugest getting a EREVO over any other RC if you can afford it. Get a Erevo, Spektrum radio, RPM true track, and a Mamba Monster 2200kv motor and esc. You will need some quality batteries too. You could wait until January 16th and buy the "EREVO Brushless Edition". They will sell for around $680ish and you will get the 2.4ghz radio and the Mamba Monster set up. I bought a Erevo roller off ebay, as well as a used Spektrum radio and receiver, RPM TT kit, got the Mamba new, and some two cell 4900mah Flight power EVO250 lipos. I have about $650 into the truck and that is cheap by todays standards. I am cheap and look for deals. Tell Mike what you want and he will steer you strait.
I have had alot of trucks and if you want a no hassle set up get a Erevo. Conversions are cool but its so nice to have a common truck when it breaks. I'm sure you will be happy either way but I break emaxxs faster then erevos. I hate wasting time fixing stuff when I can be driving.

I say go with the e-revo too. The thing can handle 6S brushless goodness without much drama, unlike the e-maxx which on 4S is already a handful. The e-revo is just a good basher as the e-maxx, and the only upgrades you'll really need are rpm arms, and a metal rear skid plate if wheelies are your thing.
