TerrorTrooper Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 hmm.. Allegedly, The ERBE wasnt as huge success as was expected, perhaps because the driveline hadnt been upped accordingly. Personally i cant see the EMBE being hugely popular as the Revo is superior in every way... I do hope i am wrong though as the E-Maxx is a worthy truck for a whopping brushless system..

But why cant they just put a waterproof ESC in there? It'll be over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesChatz Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 It's because they are partners with Castle who, afaik, don't make a waterproff brushless system. If you want waterproof-ness get a cheap roller and stick one of the Mtroniks systems in it. I feel they've somewhat missed the boat with the Brushless Emaxx. Anybody who had an Emaxx before is likely to have upgraded and gone brushless already, and come out with a far superior truck. Anyone who is in the market now is much more likely to choose the Revo, unless there is a massive price difference. Had this been a few years earlier (before ERBE) then maybe there would have been a bigger market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt B Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I think the problem with that though James was the cost - Its really expensive as it is, can't imagine what it would have been a few years back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I sooooooooooo would buy another E-Maxx but there's no way I'll be able to make it as good as my old one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hide Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Is this a stock E Maxx 3905 with the Castle/Neu setup? If so I'll just do it myself with the Emaxx sitting under the stairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash1984 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Why would you bother with this when the E-Revo is about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Donalds Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Agreed Ash, the only way I can see anyone buying this over an ERBE is if it seriously undercuts it pricewise. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 More info and better pics: Designed From The Start For Brushless Power At Traxxas, we don’t make conversions. We built it right the first time. So, when our engineers sat down to design the latest E-Maxx, they made sure it had all the strength and durability needed for today’s most powerful aftermarket brushless setups. Give E-Maxx all you’ve got; its Brushless-Ready™ transmission is built for hard-hitting 6S LiPo power with the burliest brushless motors, and every component between the motor and the tires is proven tough for full-throttle fun, pack after pack, with the durability and reliability you expect from Traxxas. Castle Creations Mamba Monster Brushless System Built specifically to handle the rigors of large, power-hungry trucks, the Mamba Monster speed control is ready for 6S LiPo power with its massive 6.5mm gold-plated connectors, high-efficiency heatsink, integrated cooling fan and heavy-duty components. The speed control sends its power pulses to a Castle 2200Kv 75mm motor, designed specially for maximum performance and reliability with 6S LiPo power in torque-hungry applications. The aluminum motor can is machined to act as a massive heatsink, high-grade bearings deliver maximum efficiency, and high-strength Neodymium magnets give E-Maxx Brushless Edition outrageous torque. To resist the twist, a beefy 5mm shaft transfers power to the Brushless-Ready transmission. Heavy-Duty 17mm Hex Hubs E-Maxx Brushless Edition's 17mm splined aluminum hex hubs make certain its considerable horsepower is delivered directly to the treads. The splined design is extra strong with unsurpassed torque handling to resist twist-out no matter how hard the 2200Kv motor pulls at the tires. The unique hex-hub shape also accepts standard 17mm-hex wheels. Traxxas TQ 2.4GHz Transmitter and 4-channel Micro Receiver Extreme speed and power calls for extreme control, and Traxxas delivers with the proven TQ 2.4GHz radio system. The TQ’s ergonomic design houses spread-spectrum circuitry, eliminating the need for crystals and channels. Just switch on and drive; the 2.4GHz circuitry automatically locates an open channel for glitch-free operation, and the high-power transmitter gives you long-range control with the security of built-in fail-safe circuitry. Massive 6.3” Maxx Tires Extreme Brushless Power goes wasted if the tires can’t put the power to the ground. E-Maxx Brushless Edition has it covered with some of the toughest treads in Traxxas’ arsenal, the aggressive Maxx tires used on the hard-hitting Revo 3.3 and T-Maxx 3.3. These massive meats offer tenacious grip, and their huge footprint gives E-Maxx greater stability and generous ground clearance for all-terrain fun. The tires are securely mounted to Twin-Spoke wheels, now covered in sinister black chrome as part of the exclusive Brushless Edition look. New ProGraphix® Body E-Maxx Brushless Edition has a powerful presence even when it’s standing still. The muscular lines of the new body evoke performance with bulging fender flares and cutting-edge graphics that put even custom painters to shame. The new, shorter cab enhances the long-and-low look while providing ample clearance for the motor. Extended Wheelbase, Low CG Chassis For Rock-Solid Stability Even at maximum speed, E-Maxx feels stable and controlled thanks to its extra-long 335mm wheelbase, 30mm longer than the original E-Maxx. The chassis also features battery compartments that position the batteries lower, angled in towards the center of the truck to lower its center of gravity. The result is improved handling and cornering stability. Heavy-duty chassis braces work together with a new center skid plate to greatly enhance chassis strength and torsional rigidity, so brushless horsepower is channeled into pure acceleration, not unwanted flex. Fast, Easy Battery Installation Traxxas engineers are always looking for ways to make Traxxas products the standard for ease of use. The new snap-lock battery hold downs speed battery installation. Press a lever to release, snap them in to lock. Securing your batteries takes just seconds and there are no clips to lose. The new configurable battery compartments are designed to easily accept either 6 or 7-cell battery packs and comparably sized LiPo packs. Waterproof, High-Torque, Digital Steering Servos E-Maxx Brushless Edition is equipped for exceptional steering precision with dual, waterproof, high-torque servos (#2075). Twin servos are lighter and more compact than a single large servo, and together they deliver unmatched monster steering response. The servo saver rides on ball bearings to keep the steering response smooth and precise. In short, it’s the most powerful and responsive Maxx® steering system ever. Adjustable Wheelie Bar To handle extreme brushless power, the adjustable Traxxas wheelie bar is mandatory equipment for the E-Maxx Brushless Edition! Four snap-in adjustment positions allow you to choose how extreme you want your wheelie action to be. In the down position, it keeps the front end planted to show off E-Maxx’s incredible acceleration. Raise the wheelie bar to its full-up position and the action gets wild, with giant wheelies that hang on as long as you keep mashing the throttle! The wheelie bar’s unique design allows it to be easily removed in situations where you may not want the additional control. Features: * Castle Creations Mamba Monster Brushless System * Up to 25.2 Volts of Massive Brushless Power * Traxxas Power Cell Batteries Included * Heavy-Duty 17mm Hex Hubs * New body design and graphics * Aggressive 6.3” Maxx-Sized tires * Black-Chrome 3.8” Twin-Spoke wheels * Traxxas TQ 2.4GHz Radio System * Four-Channel micro receiver * Top Speed: 50+mph out of the box, 65+mph all-out! MODEL 3908: Fully assembled, Ready-To-Race®, with TQ™ 2.4GHz radio, Castle Creations Mamba Monster ESC and ProGraphix® painted body. Source: RCCA, and its on sale in America on Monday.

Nick Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 That looks excellent. I'm surprised they didn't make the wheelbase longer, would of been an easy and worthwhile improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
