Things to know about E-Revo's.

[Shimmy]

G'day,

I am about to buy a standard brushed E-Revo for my brother for christmas and would like to know the things to know about these.

I am not completely new to the hobby, I got into it in January this year after buying a Losi Desert Truck, which I still have.


So, I would like to know the weak point's of the E-Revo's, what will go first (I know the titan motors won't last long), what will need replacing soon, what will make it better?

I am buying it used, but it has only been used 6 times on a soccer field, and I believe it, from the pictures I have seen, it is reasonably clean with only a couple of scratches and the tyres look like they still have all the forward bite.

Also, is there any way to make it run on 2s2p, using a longer can 3000 kv motor or so maybe?
A while ago my brother was looking at E-Maxx's and E-Savage's, one of the things he didn't really like was the dual motor and dual battery setups, not a major thing, but he would've preferred a single setup, but if a couple of batts could be ran in parallel, the extra runtime would be good.

Any help/replies would be appreciated.

Cheers.
