TXT-1 VS E-MAXXBoth of these RC models are highly popular amongst the RC hobbyists.Therefore one is often posed with a dilemma of which one to buy? Ifsome important points are considered then the choice becomes easierdepending upon the convenience, experience and budget. E-Maxx isused for racing and the TXT to climb steep hills and rocks. Forbackyard bashing, trucks are fun to drive.As regards to assembly, the TXT is a good choice for those who like tobuild their own RC kits. TXT needs to be built up and the radio systemneeds to be installed as well. In contrast, the E-Maxx comes as Readyto-Run (RTR), which means it is fully assembled and includes a radiosystem.
The E-Maxx is a lot cheaper than the TXT to get up and running.Therefore people with limited budgets should opt for an E-maxx. TheE-Maxx has enormous hop-up potential because there are manyaftermarket parts available for the E-Maxx. In contrast, there are veryfew hop-ups available for the TXT.
Traxxas parts are easier to obtain and cheaper in the USA than Tamiyaparts. If you live in the USA this is something to consider. Thus partssupport is more efficient in E-maxx. So is the speed for E-maxx. TheE-Maxx is faster than the TXT.
Another feature where E-maxx excels is jumping. E-Maxx isunbelievable at jumping because its high speed allows you to obtain"big air" and its suspension easily absorbs the impact of massivejumps. In contrast, the TXT doesn't move fast enough in stock form tomake it fun to jump. However, if modified motors and an ESC areinstalled into the TXT it can also be fun to jump and its cantileversuspension easily absorbs the force of large jumps too.
Both the E-Maxx and TXT are good at climbing reasonably steep hills instock form, but with a few modifications either can be made to climb alot better. In any event, the TXT maintains a climbing edge over the EMaxx.Both trucks will go over nearly any terrain, but the TXT is a better rockcrawler because it has massive amounts of articulation and solid axles.Generally speaking, solid-axle trucks are better for rock crawling thanindependent suspension trucks
.The E-Maxx is excellent on the race track and Maxx Truck racing isvery popular in the USA. The TXT does not perform as well on the racetrack as the E-Maxx and TXT racing is NOT popular in the USA.The TXT has limited gearing choices in comparison to the E-Maxx.Also, it is difficult to change pinion gears on the TXT in comparison tothe E-Maxx. To change pinion gears on the TXT, parts of the centralgearbox must be removed, which is a hassle.
As regards to durability, both the E-Maxx and TXT are durable and cantake a lot of abuse and require little effort to maintain. Similarly, bothtrucks can take backyard bashing and are great for general use.The TXT is a very scale realistic model in comparison to the E-Maxx.Also, some people claim that only solid-axle trucks are true monstertrucks.
