Just picked up a E-Maxx thursday night, and so far I love it. It is a tough truck and very fast for bieng electric. I mean it is faster the then my sportmaxx was ("of course I never had my sportmaxx tuned right). So I think is a good trade, and the upgrade possiblities with Emaxx is endless, since almost all Tmaxx parts will fit on the Emaxx, that and adding a Brushless system and you have an unstoppable eclectric monster.
