The new TRAXXAS E REVO!!!!!

[Takedown]

Wow that looks great!

[Jbreddawg]

Well finally !! We all knew it was only a matter of time.
Still doesn't satisfy my building/creative needs when you can just cut the check and have one. I need to BUILD it /MODIFY it /CREATE it !!

[Arct1k]

I agree - They battery trays look a bit limiting....

Building and customising is 80% of the fun - If we all wanted a stock machine where would the fun be...

Agree that it seems to be missing lots of the extras but they may do an e-platinum.

This looks like a show stealer for rcx that will be delivered in the summer.

[Jbreddawg]

Well they have to keep it simple so they can sell hopups later to make more money !!

It looks good, I just wish they had used BL from the get go.

A roller would be wonderful, because as was said, the radio, esc, and motors will be the first thing to go. I Really think Traxxas needs to work out something with Futaba or Airtronics to put some real radios in there more expensive RTR models.

That appears to be the same exact transmission as the new E maxx has.



Looks good though. I want one! LOL

The value of half my garage just went into recession! I'm stoked. I was just about ready to pull the trigger on a new EMaxx, but now I'll wait.

Personally, I prefer the plastic. It bends and flex's better than the aluminum, and you shouldnt have as many issues with screws. Generally speaking, IMHO, Aluminum is for bling.

Yes, that motor setup looks cheesy, but its what they had to do to get it to fit. I dont know why anyone on here would bitch too much about it, since we will all be ditching the motors.

I will prolly use the stock motors/esc until they die or the MMM combos come out. But the stock arrangement is to keep the CG as low as possible. As for the plastic chassis they seem to be pretty durable on the E-maxx and this looks even stronger with the center being fully closed in on the bottom. Plus no worries of the antenae touching any metal chassis parts and causing problems.

From what I saw in the details, they changed the center skid design to support the chassis.

On another note.... I wonder if the new tranny can accept a finned Neu motor. The single bl pic they had showed a smooth can motor. I hope they have enough clearance to mount a finned motor on there without rubbing against the chassis.

This got me so much more excited for RCX tomorrow. Not only do I get to see the E-Revo, but also the MMM, and new Traxxas slash. Hopefully lots more as well. Any specific pictures you want of the E-Revo? I'll try to find out what size batteries it will fit...

[E-Revonut]

How about what gears it will be using. Mod1 or 32p as well as if the tranny ratio is the same as the new E-maxx.

Could you try and find out how much the E Revo is going to cost and when it will be on shelves.

Thanks and have a good one!

Dadgummit...just when I thought my wallet would only be hit with the cost of a slash. I'm gonna have to start saving up my per diem on my next few business trips for this thing.
