That is an estimated price and subject to change! The list price for my Revo 3.3 when I bought it for $500 from Hobbypeople was over $900. I really can't imagine this being more than $450. Which is still high considering 90% of us are going to immedietlly pull off the radio, esc, and motor. But I will still be one of the first in line!!! I'll be putting off the MMM to get this, I'd rather get this and have fun with it and then put the MMM in this anyways, plus I'll be able to wait till the MMM combos come out

Its about ****** time!! I think I'll be keeping my Revo for now, as its working awesome. Traxxas really thought it through though. Looks to be a great solid design.

it is a good design but there is to much plastic i would rather have a GR2!!!

I would also prefer to have the g2r or g3r, but for the regular basher, it should be plenty tough. :yes:

That does look cool but I do worry about the size of the battery it will take. It this had been out when I decided to build an electric monster truck I definitely would of bought this instead of building my savage. Now we just need to start praying for electric truggies and buggies.

Blimey! The sneaky so-and-sos...just when we're least expecting it (especially so relatively soon after the new E-Maxx), blam! They release this with no build-up or warning. It looks good though. Very...unique-looking chassis, but certainly looks well thought-through. There appear to be a lot of minor durability upgrades (bulks, axle carriers etc) if you look in the detail section of the micro-site. That's gotta be the weirdest tranny layout I've ever seen though lol, for the Titans.

Way to go Traxxas! I just wish the chassis had an aluminium basis...the plastic is probably perfectly tough and rigid, but it'd just be nice to have some aluminium in there.

I will eventually get one and test the 6s capability of the tranny, it will run alongside the G2R i have

Finally... I'm so getting one of these...

Why Traxxas always put a plastic chasis on all their elecetric model????????????
Why not an aluminium chassis for this e-revo, and just the batterie box could be in plastic.

And for the batterie size, they don't tell anything about this.
Is a pair of 3s, 5000mAh will fit in it?

david lamontagn 04.19.2008 08:03 AM

Go in the General section, thei've ever a 3 pages thread on it:wink:

Mister-T 04.19.2008 08:07 AM

My bad, I never go in general section :x
Better keep this post for future brushless E-revo ? :yipi:

not exactly enough info but it does say they tested it with brushless and 6s.

david lamontagn 04.19.2008 08:33 AM

Yes i've see it, but don't know about the 3s pack they use. If we can just put a pair of 3s, 3000mAh, that,s not enough. A pair of 4350 or 5000mAh is a minimum:whistle:
