E-Revo Transmission/Slipper Reliability - RC-Monster Forums

No experience with LST anything as I'm totally against Losi but I have had a few 3905 Maxx trucks and an E-Revo, and now a Savage Flux. The Traxxas E-MT transmissions and slipper are 100% reliable, never had even a hickup out of any of them. Savage tranny is a joke, after a few runs you have to replace the input gear with a $15-20 one so it will hold up.

The E-revo tranny is rock solid. Very tough. But the slipper is not really meant to handle a 14 pound+ truck so just upgrade to the Hot Racing double slipper. It uses six pads instead of three. That was my set up on my E LST XXL and it worked awesome. The Hot Racing doesn't come with pads so you have to get two sets of slipper pads from Traxxas. You have a choice of the stock pads or the heavy duty aluminum pads. I was running the stock pads and they were fine.

Because everything I've had from Losi has been a huge failure! With the exception of the Micro DT, never broke anything on it. Same reason I don't run Traxxas anymore, they break easily and handle like crap. I know a lot of people like the Losi, especially the 8 and 8-T but I bought a RC8T and have had great luck with it. Everything I've had from AE has been extremely reliable and durable! I have 6 AE vehicles and I may brake something or something will wear out about every 50 runs or so. My Savage Flux is good other than the stupid hex/ wheel nut situation and crappy wheels and tires.
