I had a maxx, and I had a revo. I am making a straight across the board comparison between the two. I fell that I did pretty good maintainence on my truck, and was a pretty damn good driver. I bashed both trucks hard and in box stock form the Revo was stronger, faster, and handled better, hands down. Having the maxx upgraded and the revo race prepped (even when it was stock) the Revo was still a better truck.

Don't get me wrong I love the supermaxxes, but for most people getting a bomb proof truck like that is just not practical. I know maxx owners love their maxxes and there is nothing wrong with that. Run and love what you have, but don't be naive and try to say that it is a better truck and that the problems people have are their own faults. If that were true they would have never soaked more money into production of the revo.....

The first part:
Yes a REVO is better out of the box than a T-Maxx. No question about it. I also have a Revo 3.3 so I know first hand. I've owned a T-maxx (mildly modified) and a E-Maxx's (stock & mildly modified) plus my UE Supermaxx which has virtually no stock parts making it "not really a Traxxas E-Maxx". No arguments.

The second part:
I am not saying the Maxx is indestructable and any failures are the fault of the owner. You mis-read my response. It is true that many maxx owners are not the best mechanics (although there are some excellent ones as well) and some crash into alot (my step son hits everything in site and then some, he's just not a great driver) much of the breakage I've seen can be associated to hard crashes and a smaller amount due to poor installation or adjustment.

And yes, one again. The REVO is a superior truck out of the box as compared to a Stock T-maxx (or mildly modified on).

I'll try in be more delicate in my wording for those like you that are particularly sensitive.

I hope there are no hard feelings as no offense was intended.
