TXT-1 VS E-MAXX


Both the RC models are highly popular amongst the RC hobbyists. Therefore one is often posed with a dilemma of which one to buy? If some important points are considered then the choice becomes easier depending upon the convenience, experience and budget. E-Maxx is used for racing and the TXT to climb steep hills and rocks.  For backyard bashing trucks are fun to drive.

As regards to assembly TXT is a good choice for those who like to build their own RC kits. TXT needs to be built up and radio system needs to be installed as well. In contrast, the E-Maxx comes as Ready-to-Run (RTR), which means it is fully assembled and includes a radio system.
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. The E-Maxx has enormous hop-up potential because there are many aftermarket parts available for the E-Maxx. In contrast, there are very few hop-ups available for the TXT. Traxxas parts are easier to obtain and cheaper in the USA than Tamiya parts. If you live in the USA this is something to consider. Thus parts support is more efficient in E-maxx. So is the speed for E-maxx. The E-Maxx is faster than the TXT. 

Another feature where E-maxx excels is jumping. E-Maxx is unbelievable at jumping because its high speed allows you to obtain "big air" and its suspension easily absorbs the impact of massive jumps. In contrast, the TXT doesn't move fast enough in stock form to make it fun to jump. However, if modified motors and an ESC are installed into the TXT it can also be fun to jump and its cantilever suspension easily absorbs the force of large jumps too.  

Both the E-Maxx and TXT are good at climbing reasonably steep hills in stock form, but with a few modifications either can be made to climb a lot better. In any event, the TXT maintains a climbing edge over the E-Maxx.

Both trucks will go over nearly any terrain, but the TXT is a better rock crawler because it has massive amounts of articulation and solid axles. Generally speaking, solid-axle trucks are better for rock crawling than independent suspension trucks. The E-Maxx is excellent on the race truck and Maxx Truck racing is very popular in the USA. The TXT does not perform as well on the race track 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 to the E-Maxx.  To change pinion gears on the TXT you parts of the central gearbox should be removed, which is a hassle.

As regards to durability, both the E-Maxx and TXT are durable and can take a lot of abuse and require little effort to maintain. Similarly, both trucks 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 monster trucks.
