Depending on what you want done, parts and labor needed... You'd be looking at an easy $400-500.

Well if you do not want to do it yourself, I suggest you keep your emaxx stock and not even rock crawl with it. Are you going to send it to someone everytime it breaks? Matter of fact, you shouldn't even have an RC if your too lazy to even learn to work on it. Talk about pathetic

I'd have to also agree with Twisted...

Your best bet is probably to keep your emaxx stock, and go to Walmart and purchase a Nylint. You don't have to build it yourself.

I'll be your huckleberry. Send me your **** and a wad of cash and I will build it for you. At $35 an hour, this could be fun.

DANG!!! Easy guys, don't be soo harsh. Not everyone in this world is as talented as you are. We live in a free market; we buy, sell, trade, all the time. That is like saying if you can't make your own condoms then you shouldn't..... Really though, people do this every day.

Of course, it should have been post in the "Wanted" section though.

Taking apart and putting back together your R/C car is the fun part!

I agree with what most have said so far. Having said that, I am curious as to why your emaxx didn't do as well as you thought. Are you trying terrain that is to tough for the emaxx or for you. The stock emaxx when set up properly can still do limited crawling. Have you done any modifications to it or is it box stock? What is your experience level? It takes more than a capable crawler to crawl right, you also need some experience or wheel time. This isn't a sport for those who are frustrated easily.
If you have to have a crawler you would be better off getting a TLT and building the kit so you know how it works and how to fix it. When you have gotten some experience with the kit then modify it to a more capable crawler. And when you are ready then tackle the emaxx. I started with a Venom Mini Giant (now sold by Schumacher). I left it stock and started to slowy modify it to what I have today. When I felt I was ready for something bigger, I started working on my emaxx. I now have 2 reasonably capable crawler that I have built and can repair.
