Good thread. I just got my E-revo in this morning and for the 30 minutes I had to sit down with it, this is what I found if it helps anyone:

- E-revo is appears much longer than 3905 emaxx

- E-revo would benefit from offset rims (at least, thats how it looks).

- TrueRC 2S 8000mah 15C packs will fit the stock trays, just remove that little tensioner clip. After that is removed, didn't notice any major tray flexing. The wiring on them also works well in the trays too. I am wondering if the who limitation of 28mm was what was defined with the tensioner in there. After reading up on some testing between maxamps 20C 8000s and TrueRC 15C 8000s, these TrueRC ones should work very well.

- Proline Harddrive body looks like it will fit.

As for the badland tires, I found they worked very well. I used them as racing tires on the 3905 Emaxx I have, and I was very impressed. Traction was quite predictable and handling was very good. This was against a field of truggies as well, and I didn't feel traction was an issue on a dry track. Wear is very good too. Liked it so much I ordered another set specific for the revo (others mounted on 23mm rims).

For racing, went with LPR Bowties on Rulux rims, offset.
