newest addition to the family!

For Christmas my parents decided to get me the e revo!! Along with 2 (yes 2!!) trinity speed metal 6 cell 4600mah nimh batts!!!! I need to get a new charger before I can run it, but I'm stoked to get this beast running!!! I will be going brushless REALLY soon!! I will be going with the yeah racing bl esc and a really nice 9L motor, ill post links and pics soon!!

Lucky you.


Although I would stay away from yeah racing, as really all they are is a cheep knock off company, and I really don't trust their li-po's

Ive actually heard quite a few good things bout them and Ive seen a vid of it in the e revo and it worked pretty well. But im gonna keep lookin around.

Go for the V4 mamba monster combo! The best combo out there!

Cingrats on the new addition!

PICS!!!

Ill have pics up by tomorrow. And im definitly going with the yeah racing esc and the 9L motor, because ive heard and seen good things about them and plus they aren't too expensive.

Ok, if you dont mind, could you post a review for this truck up in stock form?

Ill get a few basic layout up for everyone to go off of.

I wish my parents would by me an E Revo, they wouldn't even know what I would be talking about! good luck with it, happy bashing!

^^Thanks!!

MTM- ya ill write it tomorrow after i take the pics, i was shootin to ave the pics up by tonight but i cant seem to find my camera so ill have to take the pics tomorrow.

I saw the title and someone had a baby. Well you got a new baby , sort of I guess.

Anyway, it should be a blast, I was playing with one at the LHS for a few minutes and it was great even in stock form. So, unless you have a lot of room, you might be happy with it as is for a while...I can't even imagine what that would be like with the brushless set up.

I know!! I love this beast! Its my pride and joy! I have a huge backyard that is mostly grass and sand except for a section that is a small pile of mulch/dirt/sand/stuff that is about 30' x 20' and has a few jumps and works really well. But I cant wait to go brushless but that probably wont happen for a month or so

Sorry bout the wait guys but i finally got the pics taken and here they are!






The chassis could be better but it works.... for now




I will also be buying a red anodized roll cage, hpi phaltline rims and tires, the exo carbon wing, and trhe red pushrods and steering inks.


~REVIEW~

asphalt (the road)- handles great and I usually cant keep the front tires on the ground lol.

grass- rips right through it like its on the road and still handles very well.

sand- it kicks the sand up everywhere and shoots it back for a good 10-15 feet.

concrete (my driveway)- the tires just spin like crazy aand whenever i turn it pretty much drifts.

issues- The chassis is a pretty cruddy plastic and i personally think traxxas should come out with some new chassis thats either cf or aluminum, either one works for me. Also the tires come unglued WAY too easily. Ive only ran it probably 4 times with a full charge and one of the tires is almost completly unglued. But other than those small issues..... I LOVE THIS BEAST!!

Sweet

You make me jealous! LOL

I have drove one in over the summer in box stock on the track, and it does handle really good although if on the track. Although it did have a slight jumping problem where it would jump nose down, but with more motor that wouldn't be an issue or if you play with the set-up a little.

But it is a fun truck to drive, although I don't think I will ever get one as I tend to base what I buy off of it there is a racing class for it or not (I only race, lol)

^^^your right it does nose dive a bit whenevr I jump but I still love it. It also tips over VERY easily!! Which you will notice in the vid Im bout to post up! I should have it up really soon!

Well, Ive decided to save up for a mmm esc and probably the mmm motor too. But does anyone have any suggestions for other brushless motors that would be around the same price range or maybe cheaper? (mmm motor- $85).

Well i was gonna wait and buy the mmm combo but i found a bad a$$ novak bl combo on ebay that was prctically new, xcept it has a broken rotor but that will be a sumwhat cheap fix. i snaggd this bad boy for $73.39!!! Here are some pics!




craked rotor


Let me kno what you think!

sick man sweett yeah, that'll rock that e-revo no issue, what t rating did you get?

the lug

im 95% sure its a 10T but im not positive, ill have to check again.

Either way, youll be rippin it up with that power package. Just make sure you get a sintered rotor and not the glued one.

Im excitd bout it!! it actually just came yestrday and now i just need to buy the rotor which i can get for about $30, so i should have this beast up and running in a couple weeks. ill try and get sum pics up tonight of it installed in my e revo.

Nice, just watch your gearing as well for temps, if you can put your finger on it for 3 seconds without it burning you, then your fine.

K will do bro thanks for the tip!

Finally got a video up, this is with the trinity 6 cell 4600mah batteries. I just bought some 7 cell 4500mah batteries off ebay, so they shoulld be here soon and ill get a vid of that up as well

Sick

Looks like you enjoy beating the crap out of it Have fun!
