Ive crashed into a cement wall over 5 times near full speed, no damage watsoever.


The problem with nitro's these days are that they arent brushless... LOL

Hi Dom, welcome to the forum.
Maybe you want to browse www.traxxas.com

I would also suggest an electric.

I think the stampede would be a nice beginner truck.

An important question is: how much do you want to spend? And keep in mind you'll also need a charger and batteries.

its true the revo is more durrable
buy if you get the conversion its 550$$
you still need some good batteries 100$ or so
you still need a motor ither you go brushless right away or u get the titans
brushlees with controller300$ or so
titans 250$ or so
you still need a reciver with a remote 150$
you still need a sterring servo 80$ and
tires 40$
so its ither a complete e-maxx for 350$
or a complete revo conversion

so the total cost it arround a good 1000$ dollars
were in canada so thats american prices REMEMBER!
you can really do up an e-maxx for that money
so its really up to durrablility
ovioulsy revo beats the e-maxx in that so revo wins

Mike.L , this is very innacurate, the titans DO NOT cost 250, the receiver he can get off me, for 40 $, steering servo does not have to be 80$, he can get a pretty good one for 30-40$.

And mike.l, with the emaxx, with the left over money after buying it stock, you wont be able to get enough parts for it to even be close enough in durability to a g2r revo.
