Ugg. Almost $300? I think I'll stick to the larger models...

Don't forget the handy codes for super saver members at Tower. Mine will be coming in at $235 (Slash) and $240 (E-Revo) shipped.

Cause that is what I need, a nimh pack and a wall charger...

I wish they would sell a battery less model. I guess I could sell the battery and charger over at the traxxas forum...

Ah, but thats the only way to go fast....

1/10 is small enough for me....

I just got the confirmation for mine too...came out to be 240 shipped to my door for the E-Revo. They say my order is being packaged or whatever in the warehouse.

I plan to sell the stock battery and charger on the Traxxas forum. I figure I can get about 25 shipped for it all pretty easily. Time to order my lipo's.

Man your late on ordering. I know a guy out here has 3 sets of lipos waiting for his mini revo... He bought these 2 months ago!

I'd laugh my ass off if they didn't fit. I am waiting until I get one in my hands to try a couple of different lipos I have sitting at home. It only takes a couple of days to get lipos in my hands anyhow with the fast shipping from Mike here or Pat at rclipos.com.

I have that mini hyper ste, no real need for the mini revo. I would like to give one a try, as it has more ground clearance than the hyper.

I'm trying to pick between the Revo VXL and the Hyper STe. I want something bigger than my RC18T but not quite 1/10...

Seems good. I know the diffs will handle bl well as the crt.5 does not have any diff or driveline issues. Knowing traxxas and the fact they have not made a bulletproof diff yet i am a bit worried about the minis from them. I plan to let the 1st wavers beat the trucks and see how the diffs do. I am sure the erevo will have better ground clearance than the ste. I like to run in grass so the ste does not really do well. It seems to handle the dirt well.

you would probably get warning points because they dont say traxxas on them i got points for selling a rustler vxl and including a maxamps lipo that was a combo for it lol

[BP-Revo]

Wait, you got warning points for selling a Rustler VXL and including a lipo with it? According to the Traxxas rules (unless they were changed) any aftermarket thing that is INCLUDED with the truck is fine. You just can't sell the battery separate.
