Some thoughts....About the E-Revo VXL 1/16 from Traxxas

USA/UK

So i have tried,charged and looked at my new E-Revo VXL 1/16, the new car from Traxxas. I must say first of all, i´d never ever thought im gonna buy a Traxxas RTR model, never. But i small started with my FLM superextended wide truck ok, that have only the diff form a Traxxas car rest is CM. Anyway here is what i thinking of the truck so far.

-My first impression of it was the box, it looked real costy, well done and nothing halfdone.
-The manual and other bits are located in small transparent bags and are real good, id say Xray quality of the manual. To bad the exploded wiew is attached in a BORING regular copied paper...
*I havnt used the stock transmitter and Battery, so they are still unused. What ive been hearing they work good. 27mhz band.
-Ok the car, the body i do not like at all, i want to custom paint my own lids, so this is a minus, but it still looks real mean. Under the "hood" here we have a huge motor...its a 28mm diamter and 40mm++ long! and are around 4000rpm/v or 44 hundred, not sure...But in the combination with the stock pinion that is like 28T !! the car runs REAL fast with stock battery (nimh 7.2v). Ok i dismounted the reciver,and monted my Spectrum Rx so i can use my own more advanced radio, the KoPropo Helios EX-10.
-The car felt REAL soft, i was told we have 40w in shocks around, and green springs..since im gonna use min indoor on carpet and outdoor on astroturf (hig grip) this setup is waaaaaay to soft. And the outtravel on this car is one of the biggest ive seen!! (ok, not big revo or monstertrucks truggy etc) but for a scale like this...
-I ordered Flightmax lipos 1800 2s (7.4v) gonna run them separatly and not in paralell or Serial
-FOr my first test i have already changed Springs up to black in the rear and TAN in the front with 100 rear and 80 front...this meaning i never ever tested the car stock.
-i must say Wow!! what a speed, and the car turns on a coin!! this is it this car...Jummie! and for this i mountd the Kyosho rims shrouded with Prolines Holeshot M3 4wd fronts, so i never tested the stock ones...

-Track testing, the outtravel is way to long, i had to ziptie my rockerarms for less travel, and went up to 200w in the rear (little to much for the bumpie track, but A LOT BETTER) You can see it here on my chanel.

-After this movie i took the car up to the big 1/8th scale offroad track loose and wet, but ok...And what a BIG difference the car handled so MUCH better....i am stunned. The long travel was ace on this kind of track!....i have abused it, jumped it, taking some trippel jumps,serious craches..the car just working...

-At this day i have changed stock ESC to the Castlcreations MambaMAX esc and using a Ko 3101 Servo. I have retuned my slipper and the car is done almost. Adjustble pushrods is mounted and i just waiting to get more track time.



* Ok so what is my final words then? Well, id never thought im gonna say, BUY IT, RUN IT, LOVE IT!!!! The only small updates i recomend is.

-Lipo 1600-2200mah 2s packs 3s is just WOD
-Springs get BLACK and TAN
-80-200w oil
-1/10th Kyosho rims with racing tires

With this updates you are home...

The style of rc car itself has
changed all over the community. Many nations like Italy, Malaysia,America,Japan etc. have
rolled over their editions of assault choppers. They modified the main
drawbacks of rc car or Helicopter. But it can be absolutely highlighted that the rc car or chopper is the
pioneer in the assault chopper household. In this workshop I’ve tried to put forward
some of the style functions of the same. traxxas revo
