This is a true story. I had a new E-Maxx I Decided to jump something so I decided to jump a Big Dirt Pile. IT WENT LIKE 25 FEET AND TOOK A VERY BAD LANDING! Well that was the end of the E-Maxx it was totalled. Pieces everywhere! Part of where the arms connect cracked totally off!
All I have to say is E-Maxx's are wimpy!

No. I've flipped mine into ravines(that drop off about 15 feet and have a 45 degree angle to them) without problems

BS Flag at full mast :rolleyes: .
I have a T-maxx and a jump isnt going to "total" it. It might break some bulkheads, dogboes, arms, or turnbuckles. But I havent seen one destroyed from a jump.
What is up with all these useless topic pile of parts? (not trying to be rude or anything.)

Well, the E-Maxx chassis is made of plastic, so I guess that makes it weaker than the T-Maxx, and if you did break the E-Maxx, just think of all the upgrades you could put on it...

The whole e-maxx is destroyed. A nuculear bomb couldnt damage it this much!

Prove it. Take pictures or something. You have been spamming so much on this board that it is impossible to tell if you are serious or not.

I have thrashed the Hell out of my E-Maxx, it's been the best thrasher i've owned.

Pile 'O Parts,
It's not cool to pretend that you own or have owned certain vehicles. It is cool however if you are saving for one, have one or more, or just cannot afford to make the jump to hobby class cars/trucks (they are not cheap).
People on here have done everything to their Maxx trucks including the odd nuclear explosion. I myself jumped my old Emaxx before learing how to fly (brake vs throttle) and it landed right on the rear bumper. I snapped the rear skid and broke a turnbuckle. No other damage was noted. I was quite impressed with it, it was a horrendous crash (as Rosco would say).

I do not believe you either,and for the 25 ft drop any truck and I mean any will break if it is landed wrong,,,I own the T-Maxx and the E-Maxx and have bashed the T-Maxx hard at the local skate park and it takes a beating but when landed wrong it breaks..When it was stock the worse I did was broke both front bulkheads,both lower A-Arms, Bumper and skidplate and that was because I landed it nose first in very cold weather which was my fault.
So keep having your Maxx pipe dreams while we run one of the Baddest trucks to breathe nitro.
And BTW I think you have the E-Maxx confused with your Rat Shack truck.

NitroRipper,
Nice truck man, that T is awesome. One question what is the return spring for????
And does anyone know if 4-wheeel steering is available for the T-Maxx 2.5? I've seen some homemade versions, but just wondering if Traxxas{or anyone** makes a kit.
Thanks

RadRC(www.radrc.com) makes a rear steering kit for the T/E Maxx, and the throttle return spring is to return the servo to a nuetral position and close the carborator on the engine if for some reason the power to the receiver or that servo is cut.
