RC Truck and Crawler Testing - Remote Blowout
|
Traxxas E-MaxxThe Traxxas E-Maxx 4x4 is the big-block V-8 monster truck of the RC world. It has unbelievable torque and soil-chucking power. The E-Maxx is the fastest and most powerful RC we tested. It's an awesome basher for pretty much any terrain. Plus it has water-resistant electronics. All testers admired the speed and cornering capability but hated the complexity and cost of the two-battery requirement. Two motors and two batteries also added to the overall weight making the E-Maxx land from big jumps like a ton of bricks. Uncontrolled airtime and high-speed wrecks can cause this heavy-weight to break suspension and chassis parts. Fortunately there is lots of aftermarket support for the E-Maxx. Testers noted that it's best suited in an open area with loose soil where you can open up the throttle (and a can of whoop-ass) to roost your buddy.Pros: Amazing traction. Raw dirt-flinging power. It's big and fast.Cons: Heavy. Requires two battery packs. Not a good jumper. View Related Article
