How's this?

XTM Rage next to them. The XTM Rage is the same size as a Mini Quake and both are larger than a RC18T/MT or Mini-T.

Here's some comparison shots of a stock RC18T tire/wheel next to the tires/wheels of the VXL Slash and VXL E-Revo. The RC18T tire is pretty darn small compared to that of the E-Revo, but not much smaller than the tire on the Slash.

Haven't run them yet. Hopefully by Friday I'll have them up and going with 2S Lipo and Spektrum. My Lipos don't come in until tomorrow and I still have to solder the connectors on, then I have to install my Spektrum Rx's.

holy, that revo is waaay bigger than i expected. makes the xtm and rc18 like they're actually the mini's.
i like that xtm tho haha. cant believe you bought 3-4 vxl slash/revo when you already have that xtm.
do you not like how it performs or something?

I actually don't drive the XTM at all. I've put part of a battery pack through it and it's sat ever since. I had a tricked out brushless Mini Quake SE when I bought the XTM and drove the MQ much more. If you're interested in the XTM, I'll let it go real cheap. :yes:

Damn... I really want a Revo VXL now. My RC18T is too big for indoors but not big enough for outside in my front yard. The 1/16 looks like it would be great outside considering I have a relativity smooth bashing area.

glassdoctor 06.17.2009 02:57 AM

Cool, thanks... the Revo does look like a mean little basher!

They are smaller than I thought too. Read somewhere someone was saying real close to a 1/10 buggy, they are smaller than that. I want one, but everything is plastic and the shocks were leaking on the display model I saw, it had never been ran either.

I got mine, running 3s zippys (1600) in parallel.

they look fun on youtube even just stock...too bad i just bought a b44..... oh well maybe ill put some truck tires on the b44 and pretend its a mini revo...

E-Revonut 06.18.2009 05:40 PM

I know it's been asked for on one of the thread, I got a comparrison shot with a CRT.5
http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/i...Picture110.jpg

The LHS has a bunch of each in, but are way overpriced at $290 for the slash and $300 for the Revo when I can pick up a revo for $230 on tower w/ code. They did let me play with it though. It's raining and has been all day here, I headed straight for the deepest puddle around! It plowed through it and kept going! It's a fun little truck and with a few upgrades would prolly be awesome

On 3s that little thing is SICK ! I think I'll be running 2s in mine primarly to keep parts abuse down and from having to waddle after it everytime it flips.
I can't wait till mine comes in from H.H.

kulangflow 06.18.2009 06:11 PM

E-Revonut, thanks for the comparison pic! Does that CRT.5 have an extended chassis? Also, how much different is the ground clearance compared to the mini E-Revo?

Thanks!

E-Revonut 06.18.2009 07:08 PM

Yes I have the Ofna ext chassis. Didn't pay close enough attention to the ground clearence but I would say there pretty close

Frozen72 06.18.2009 08:34 PM

Hmm... that picture sways me towards getting a Hyper STe. I wouldn't be surprised if the Hyper STe could go a few places the revo couldn't.
