ModelTech was one of the first company that made a brushless motor system specifically for the Traxxas E-Maxx. Most people will think at least twice before spending $450 for just a motor. Especially a complete Traxxas E-Maxx kit is only around $325 now days. But why brushless, well there are two main reason, first it's maintenance free, you just have to drop some motor oil once a while, since it's brushless, so never need to change motor brush, that's a lots of saving in the long term. If you think that one, this might be the last motor you ever will buy, so the price is pretty good.

Second reason, most important, it's crazy insane scary fast. I don't know how to describe this. But with two 8 cells, it was way faster than my .21 T-Maxx. You can easily go over 45MPH with the right pinion setup. That's only with one brushless motor, with two, I don't even want to think about it.

Once you buy this kit, you no longer need an electronic speed controller. It came with a very nice controller, the break on this unit is the best. It break as if you have ABS on a real car, okay seriously it's like glue, if you break hard a lot, you will be getting new tires soon.

Note: This product is no longer available for purchase, Modeltech seems like will launch a new product line soon.

Even the case looks nice.

This is yet, the most powerful motor your money can buy.
