Alright... before everyone jumps on me about this silly comparison, please hear me out! :) Here's my story:
I purchased a Wild Willy 2 not too long ago (3 months), built it, hopped it up, and have had a LOT of fun with it, but I've also been annoyed by a few issues. 1) It rolls too much. I've added better shocks, but this things rolls like crazy. 2) I'd like to have a vehicle that can climb and jump a bit better. I've had my eyes on the E-Maxx. It's cool, fast and durable. It also does wheelies! It seems like the E-Maxx would allow me to keep a number of the items that I like *most* about the Wild Willy, that is, wheelies and durability (the Willy is amazingly durable...really!). One thing that I would lose, however, is long run times. I don't know why, but even with my Sapphire 17t motor, the run times on the Willy are incredible... like 20 - 25 minutes! Very strange, but very cool. I've been using a 3000 nimh, but even with an 1800 nicd the run times are great! It seems that the run times on the E-Maxx are *much* shorter. Anyone know if this is true? Also, how does the E-Maxx do with climbing and jumping? Lastly, would anyone be interested in a slightly used Wild Willy 2? :)
Thx.
