Default RE: Is a traxxas e-revo brushless worth its price tag?


ORIGINAL: mike harris

Hi there,

I have several nitro off road cars and i feel that the time has come to get an electric car as they look pretty fun and speedy! I have been looking at the traxxas e-revo brushless and i was just wondering if anyone had any opinions on it? And if it is worth the £520 price tag it has over here in the uk.

Hope someone can help me

Cheers Mike
Never owned one.

Have seen one in action and was really impressed. Jumps real nice and looks like it can take some abuse .
Love the look, best looking monster truck in my opinion but I like the sporty, racey look

Things I dont like are the axles, Why dont they put some steel axles on that rig ? Dual steering servo ? Not a fan of that setup either.

But to answer your question .....
Mamba 2200kv system installed which i think cost around 300 by itself
2.4g radio.
My opinion if your wanting one then yeah its worth it value wise.

I would shop around for a roller so I can put my own goodies in it and save a few bones to upgrade what will be needed like the axles.
