I gave my brother inlaw my heavily upgraded brushes emaxx. I just couldn't handle the fact its a such a weak design. I was always breaking it. I have a hpi trophy truggy flux and a hpi vorza. Both are great and l haven't had to replace a part in a long while.
Just mud guards and skid plates. That's it. Its a solid buggy. I have yet to have to replace a part. I have 5k oil front, 10k center, and 3k rear diff.
