The titans work fine, unless your truck weighs over 20 pounds I would think the titans would get the job done.

are you lookin to go fast .. or crawl ??? Trinity makes fast motors for the Maxx,,, They have two models,,,, Mild and Wild... They're 69.95 each... If you have really good batteries,, and want to go fast.. These are the motors for you... I use the Titans for crawlin,, and they work great ... Have fun ...

Hi Maxx,,, How'd you like the weather today ??? I spent most of the afternoon crawlin ... Got a sunburn etc... Lots of fun.... I ran my new longer truck... like the extra two inches... Put some BFT's on it and it worked pretty good... I put a Stampede Tranny in it .. . Don't like it much.. geared too tall... goin back to the maxx tranny .. cya ..

All depends on what kind of E-Maxx stuff you're lookin for ... I work at R/C Plus.com... and also buy stuff from NewEraModels.com ... you can try either one of those ... if you like .. Have fun

one titan with the evx, 9 tooth pinions and 72 tooth spur is more than enough torque for crawling. if you want to loose weight, get a super rooster and then you only have to run one battery. you can run the titan off the rooster, it will have plenty of torque but no punch. if you want to eventually upgrade the motor with this setup, the magnetic mayhem is very popular.

i buy most of my parts from either the local hobby shop, they should have the stock maxx stuff you need. if not then from towerhobbies.com or if you need something special just post what you need here and we will direct you to the supplier
