I have heard the suspension is pretty soft

Surely can't be softer than the 2.5R Revo. What rockers, springs and weight oil does it have?

how does it run....I would have gone through a few packs before snapping any pics...lol

I stopped by the LHS and they had one out of the box. The suspension is definitely pretty soft. It seemed to be very close to my stock 2.5 Revo. Even the guy at the LHS made the comment that the suspension seemed to float.

looks good, I got a blue one yesterday and already ripped out the electronics and put the evx on ebay.

now I just have to find a mamba monster, motor and probably a pair of 3s packs.

I didn't run mine more than 5 minutes before switching springs! About a one foot drop and it was bottoming out! Just switched them out for the included ones for long travel and much better! Currently running stock motors and esc w/ novak lvc and MaxAmps 2S 6000mah packs. Will be running mmm/8xl by the end of the week, just needsome shrink and traxxas connector for the mmm

From just feel I thought the suspension was great. I have not run it yet though.

Let us know when you get a chance to get a run in - curious to hear how it runs.

I won't be able to run mine until I get battery packs in - maybe middle of the week. :(

Me too I have to send my Maxamps back in and have the wires routed out the side. Having issues getting them in the compartments with the wires in the middle. I am taking out the stock titans and esc and putting them on ebay. I have a Tekno Neu 1.5 sitting here waiting to go in. Also just won a slightly used MM and data cable on the bay tonight. That is going in until my MMM arrives.

Good to hear those springs work better. I will probably but those on before I even run the truck. Now I just have to convince my brother to let me borrow his novak system to hold me over until the Monster starts shipping again. Hopefully I will have it running by the end of the week.

I bet you it still has that new RC smell:yes:... Great looking truck..:party:

Yes it does. I have been sniffing it all morning!! LOL

whats the weight without batts jeremy1976? incl. motor n esc... thanks

No clue man sorry.

I just got mine yesterday. The suspension is soft, but smooth as butter. Works great on pavement because its almost impossible to traction-roll it (I was running in the rain, may e easier to roll over on dry pavement). The suspension has a lot of body lean on the turns, but that keeps it from rolling over.

My Brushless E-Maxx suspension is much harder, but it is also much heavier.

pinion question
 

got a new e revo...with the 6-5 hv max...what pitch and tooth count should i run...thanks...

Mine came in today. The suspension feels very plush, but I will most likely up the oil and change to the other springs. Also will be doing a Full RPM conversion on it and the MMM + Neu 1512 2.5D setup on it.

Posted this on another thread, but it may help someone out, the TrueRC 15C 8000mah packs do fit the Erevo battery trays if you remove the tensioner. Figure this may be about the same for the 20C Maxamps packs as well.

:gasp: Everyone getting their E-Revo....Mine will arrive earliest next week :oh:

Good for me I guess...I can see gearing questions and suspension updates... keep them coming :)

hi jeremy1976, just wondering how much you paid for the e-revo if you don't mine telling cause i'm thinking about getting in hong kong but we got nothing here yet, and no id when are we going to get it

Note those going with aftermarket servos, dual setup:

One of the leads from the servo may not be long enough. I just found that out with my S3305's . Will need an extender

Also, there appears to be some stops in the steering race that prevent the steering from going too far. wonder if they could be removed with no detriment to the vehicle.

Got mine rebuilt with RPM parts, traxxas CVDs, and traxxas splined hubs with LPR bowties mounted. Just need to get it all electrified.

$469 was the price.

thanks and i'll see if i'm able to get the e-revo in hong kong

Good luck bud!

Jeremy, this is really exciting. I have been a fan of the F1-type suspension for awhile now. This design looks to be a winner. Coming hot off the heels of a new Slash (sweet), I feel oddly compelled to buy one of these. Henry is getting long in the tooth, and is due for a major refit, and here comes a fresh project for me. I'll run the stock power system as long as I can stand it, then it'll be a Quark 125 with the Faigao 9L and two Maxamps 8000 HVs.

I'll be watching your posts. I know you'll put it through the ringer.

P.S. This might just be what all of us old B-Maxxers need.

I also just got a new E-Revo. Posted pix on another thread
I used components I had laying around to sup it up a little:
(Feigao 9L and Quark 80Amp ESC)

Hay Jeremy1976
Soooo how is it holding up after it's first full weekend of bashing??. What are your plans for upgrading at this point?.

Sweat truck..

Is it possible to reverse the center tranny around (so the spur faces the front like an Emaxx?

Would make more sense for a single motor conversion, if the motor in the middle remained... but if it was facing the other way.. would have a lot more room.

Just tryin to figure out some ideas for my next project.

Having some heat issues with the MM at this time. I am going to run a fan on it and see if that helps any. I have to say though this thing just rips!!!! I have all my settings on the MM at the lowest too. Cannot wait to get my MMM and open it up a little.

well, I plan on getting a E-revo in a month or so....and will be running the following....but would like a suggestion on what gearing to use
quark 125b
feigo 7xl w/ rcm heatsink
maxamps 8000 mah 2s2p (4s) lipo's
any suggestions would be helpfull

I have to say the 7xl isn't a great choice for a revo. Big heavy 4wd is gonna draw tons of amps and get real hot. My 8xl was extremely hot. Right now my mmm is out of commision, not a bec failure though, but I will continue using the 8xl till I can get a tekno neu or cc releases there line. Was running 8xl, mmm, 4s maxamps 6000mah, and spektrum dx3r radio... Put the long travel springs in and I was getting about 15 min mostly wot. I also recomend regluing the tires prior to installing a bl system!

hmm, my 7xl seemed to run my gmaxx without any issues....anyone else have any input?
thanks

I would agree that 7XL will run hot in a Revo, if you must run a Feigao in a Revo make it a 9XL on 4s unless you dont care if your motor get hot...also depends on your gearing if you gear it low it might work...(for 30 mph)

right...the feigao are hot motor i run my e-maxx with a 6xl and get really hot(160f max)after 15 min:yes:but if you don care of your motor,,run it hot :lol:

I want one! :yes:

I have the nitro Revo 3.3 and wish I would have known this was coming out when I bought it. I like driving it - when it is running - but am having more fun with my electrics (but I don't have to tell you guys that LOL).

Does anyoone around here just run them stock? I don't have the money to buy this kind of truck and immediately replace everything! :lol: Other than replacing broken items, my E-Maxx has been a lot of fun right out of the box! I'd like to get the E-Revo, but would hope it would be as fun out of the box.

It sure looks sweet!
