Well, I got the new e-revo last night from my lhs for $429.99+tax. I couldnt pass up that deal to get one now!

I have the new emaxx too and all I can say is maxx what[&:]????? This e-revo handles so much better(even though its stock) I have only driven it twice(b/c i had to work today) and I am falling in love with it already. All I need now is a new brushless set up for it and she will be set. The 2.5 revo I had driven didnt handle nearly as good as this one. I an very impressed with the new E

I read posts about the weak battery area and doors and I personly dont think its going to be that big of a maintance issue. Seems tough enough to hold up for a while to me. If I had to choice between getting e-revo or the e-maxx. I would easly pay the extra money for the e-revo b/c its a better built truck with what seems to be a superior suspention. Its a no brainer.

I will post some pics shortly

Nice! can you get a vid?

mycarisaser

I dont have any way of getting vidio. Wish I did. I am going to get a few radar runs done with two 2s lipos to see how it compairs to the emaxx. I am still amazed at the handleing.

(I have to reload all the camera stuff back on my computer(had to replace the hard drive today)before I can post pics)

That's a REALLY good deal, any idea on how much it weighs? With a plastic chassies, Its gotta be really light.

Sounds cool man; would love to see pics as well(If u can somehow get any that is)

mycarisaser

The e-revo weighs in at 9 pounds 6 ounces without batteries.. I think I can find a few ways to make it lighter. I will try to get some pics tonight

I can't wait...mine should be here this week...hopefully! The biggest weight savings will be to run Lipos rather than NiMh. The tires and rims would be the next thing to change. I have a set of LRPs that will be going on it and I am going to sell the stock wheels/tires right off the bat.

mycarisaser

I am still trying to find my camera software so I can load up some pics.

Oh I am getting some neu 5000mah 2s lipos. Cant wait. Castle need to hurry with there combo package so I can get this thing brushless.

Has any one heard if tekin is comeing out with a monster brushless setup?

Picsssssss

mycarisaser

Heres a few pics. I finally found the camera software. I love this new truck.

Does any one know if the revos tranny and diffs are really strong for brushless.
I dont want to get it and turn it brushless and it shreds pins in the tranny

Snaut Rocket

And does the e revo come with batteries.

mycarisaser

The new e-maxx and e-revo come with the same tranny. I had a 9xl in the e-maxx for a while(until I lost it to some water when my lipos caught fire) and didnt have any issues at all. The e-revo was tested with a neu motor and 6s lipo by traxxas and castle and that what many have in there e-maxxs now.

No it doesnt come with batteries. Must furnish your own[&o]

Snaut Rocket

Then why do they call it an rtr.
What batteries will it take.
2 6 cells
or 2 7 cells.

mycarisaser

2 7 cell batteries is the best b/c its really slow on 6 cell ones.

Snaut Rocket , What truck are you running now ? Your sig is funny Thats what happens when I drive the lst2

The e-revo is really nice. Its the best quallity traxxas truck I have seen. I bought the e-maxx knowing what it was compaired to the lst and I was surprised when I seen that the e-revo b/c it a whole new level for traxxas. The only thing is that they use junk electronics (except the new digital wp servos on the e-revo are really nice)and it seem to make them more toy like than its competitors. Its worth the money in my opinion.

rustlerbasher

you'll have to test out its durability for us... jump it off a roof or something cool like that haha (after you get your video stuff together)

mycarisaser

Not a problem, WILL DO!!! I am also going to see how it takes a 100ft drop off the back of a sand dune too. The lst2 does it with out a sweet(When I land right that is. The only thing I have droken off the dunes is a diff and a few arms) Not bad for a 50mph 14pound truck. I hope the e-revo can take the punishment that I have put the lst2 through. Time will tell.
I am chargeing the batts right now and when its done I will see how it handles the "off the roof thing"[>:]

Snaut Rocket

I want to sell my axial scorpion i have.
That thing isnt fun to me at all.
really bored of that thing.
