Because Traxxas is Traxxas, that's why! 
But I totally agree, Traxxas really screwed up big time as far as the battery compartment goes and motor/tranny (stock) layout in the E-Revo. Not to mention the stock E-Revo body is just ugly! [:'(]

e revo brushless with 6s lipo. But the e revo is rather poorly designed. Why cant traxxas do anything right?

Well my brother's MM is installed and i took off the fan for now cause i dont need it in this weather. Put the capacitor on the batt port and hoping one of these things will help. Gonna test tomorrow (as long as the weather cooperates)

Ok I love racing but now Im bord at home so a new beater build is in order! I might do a slash becuase I can keep the stock electronics for a while to race and bash in the snow. I want to keep the initial price kinda low. any suggestions?

aw man, yesterday i was counting all the posts on page 99, i wanted to be the first to post on page 100. this morning i looked and it was on page 101. [&o]
warhead, i saw those a arms on tower and they looked so cool but i didn't think they would be very strong. but it sound like i was wrong. the piggy back shocks do anything to help or are they just for looks?
