The Twin Titans® are mounted to a complete sealed 2-speed transmission, with adjustable slipper clutch that protects the drive train and provides traction control.
The two-speed transmission in the E Maxx is capable of shifting on the fly, use 1st gear for brutal acceleration and 2nd gear for insane top end speed.
The E-Maxx uses the same suspension as its very famous and popular nitro cousin the T-Maxx.
Traxxas™ has used the WideMaxx® 4 wheel independent suspension on the E-Maxx.
With 4 inches of suspension travel at each wheel and a maximum of 4 inches of ground clearance allows the E Maxx to take on just about any terrain it is put up against.
The WideMaxx® suspension is fully adjustable with 10 shock mounting positions, front caster angle, front and rear toe angle, and front and rear camber.
To keep the tires firmly planted on the ground Traxxas™ has used eight oil-filled ultra shocks, two on each wheel.
With the suspension and shocks both being tunable you have the ability to tune the WideMaxx suspension for just about any conditions.
All suspension components are molded out of composite filled nylon.
All suspension parts have been built to resist breakage, plus are very rigid.
Traxxas™ does not promise the these parts will not break, but they will withstand all kinds of wild crashes and stunts.
The E-Maxx's chassis also shares a few things from the T-Maxx.
Traxxas™ has used the same 4wd shaft drive as the T-Maxx and it does transfer power to all four wheels efficiently.
The chassis on the E-Maxx is a molded semi-tub design that is built from molded composite nylon.
The chassis has been designed to accept both stick and side by side battery packs. The chassis features battery cutouts to lower the center of gravity and allow for air flow to help cool the batteries.
With the E-Maxx sharing the same suspension components as a T-Maxx finding parts and modifying or customizing your E Maxx will be easy.
With many after market hop-up parts being available personalizing your E Maxx can add to the fun factor.
So, if an electric rc monster truck is for you than a Traxxas™ E Maxx is for you.
