  1. What is the gorilla g2 chassis? Any links? Or is it just to convert the E-Maxx to hold the single brushless motor? Also i asked the guy and he will send it as a gift. THis means i wont pay Import TAX... Thats what i did with 2 mini-ts which i ordered (and then the stupid servo problem occured with one of them!)
  2. I like the look of the AC/DC chargers. Hook it up to a car battery charging batts while driving others! Sounds not bad. How long do you rekon E-Maxx parts will be around for? If its long enough; then hey, il buy one and after a year or so when i have a job, i could always upgrade, move to the countryside and buy a 3 engined Savage just to make noise! Oh and is this any good: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...ADME:L:RTQ:UK:1 I cant see many E-Maxxs on ebay brand new (well only one!). Also if i buy from america i need to ask them to send as a gift which is reason why through ebay.
  3. LoL. I like the theory of them HAVING to get used to it and if they dont like it...so what?!?!
  4. Yeah i know... But if there will be a new electric truck avilable by traxxas as an upgrade of the E-Maxx then i would prefer to buy the new version. Thing is all my cars; i have bought and within a month they have been discontinued because of a newer model! At least with a Savage or Revo or LST you know they will stay for quite a while. Also not sure about you lot but i have huge troubles finding parts for cars in the UK. All my LHS carry HPI and nothing else really. Adamking have you had any nitro cars b4 electric. Just i always hear about people moving from electric to nitro but very few moving from nitro to electric!
  5. Im not sure how easily parts will be for me to get for the LST and also if i were to go nitro; it would have to be quiet and it sounds like the revo is most quiet. However I have seen the LST and wow, its amazing! It even kills the revo on the track and i am presuming its very durable! There is a chance that the guy who broke in waz's truck didnt do it properly? This might explain why the engine is acting so odd for him but on the otherhand it might just be a crap engine! Has anyone had a touring car and MT to comment on volume difference? I presume the traxxas is quite quiet (wooow look at those two words together) because its only a .15. The problem is i live in a realy quiet neighbourhood and the closest place to bash it outside of my area, would be far away. How hard are parts to get for the LST in the UK? Im living in the norwich and find the hobby stores round here only carry HPI products and nothing else really! I saw a video of the LST and it does look very impressive!
  6. waz i noticed you bought your revo off ebay from america. Was having it shipped over OK and how was the truck like? Im not sure about buying second-hand from america incase of problems; i'd have to post back etc and it would take ages! How long did it take to arrive Cheers
  7. Im not really looking for a MT with HUGE speeds. I would obviously need some for some good jumping etc but i have touring cars for my need for speed! Yeah budget always comes into play because i see americas prices and am amazed how cheaper they are. I mean you could buy a Revo thier for like £250. Well i really want to go and see how quiet the revo is; if quiet enough i think the ability of fill up and go appeals to me most. The problem with the electric MT scene is its been monopolised by Traxxas and thier E-Maxx. Most probs the reason for the E-Zilla because HPI are relising this HUGE gap in the market! Revo, E-Maxx, Revo, E-Maxx....i need to start thinking which would suit me better! Also whats the engine like with the Revo. I've heard soo many bad things about it; mainly about it not being able to keep a tune. Have you had any probs?
  8. http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=...on&ItemID=22705 On second thoughts; that thing is CHEAP! £250 with batteries and charger (which most prob are junk and will need to be replaced; but hey!). Hmm i dont think i could wait that long though....and not sure what others thing but i HATE the baja style body. Stick a savage shell on it and il be happier! "waz" loving the quotation marks around my screenname! The screenname is after a band i heard; hated the music but like they're name: y.o.click! Is the Revo really quiet? I have a touring car which is fairly loud and the thing is that i heard MT's are all much louder than touring cars? Hmm... if only my friends were into r/cing so one had a revo and i could test it!
  9. Man you guys are quick! I was just editing my post bcoz i didnt see was's and then i come back and there are 3 new posts! Like to see it! You'll see why im not sure bout nitro in my edited post ^^^ The E-Zilla doesnt appeal to me like others. Also WAIT TILL SEPTEMBER?!?! I would go krazy with a month without RC-Ing; but its worse when your about to buy a new one lol
  10. Yeah the truck is like 5years old now! I was wondering when a new one would come out. Is there any more information about the E-Revo or is it just word of mouth rumours? I really dont want to buy the truck then one month later find out after 5years a new model is realeased! waz this will be my first MT. I have already got 2 nitro touring cars. When i first saw the Revo i loved it! I was killing myself on either Revo or 4.6 SS (never had built a kit before). The only problem is noise; if there was a way to quite the little things down i wouldnt mind but they are too loud for my neighbours! Its a tricky choice; im just trying to make sure i am sure before i blow my $$$ (especially in the rip-off UK, il probs just import one of ebay like i just did with some Mini-Ts )
  11. Yeah thing which always apealed to me about the E-Maxx was that because its electric; improvements are made everyday and so soon there will be awesome hop-ups (just think of whats after brushless!). Sounds good but i will be jumping this truck so just wondering how it is like in that respect. Also if i had 12 cells, how long of a run time would i be looking at? Thanks
  12. Just a few questions; hoping you could answer! I would prefer to run electric because then i can drive whenever i want however if the nitro cars are that much better, then i could make trips to the local park. Is the E-Maxx as durable and can it jump? How are spare parts to come by? How does it compare to the Revo? How big is it compared to a savage? Thanks!
