The E-Revo is a very capable off-road vehicle and can handle numerous types of terrain. The joy in having a 1/10th scale is that it can handle most of what you throw at it. The 1/16th have a lower ground clearance. This will be a serious limiting factor in its off road ability. That is fine if you consider off-road to be things like grass or hard packed dirt, but if you consider what off-road as I do, these trucks will not cut it.

They will be fine for parking lot races, and light duty bashing, but in my opinion that is the extent of it. Nothing against the vehicles, but like I said, I don't get it. Sure it has a few perks due to its small size. More portable, and that's about all I can think of.

I would rather deal with a larger vehicle that can handle what is put in front of it

They are mainly for the person that says "hey, I'm bored. Wonder what I can do right now..." Running them in front of your house on the street, in the house, garage, small plastic ramps in the grass, etc is what they do best. However, what fun is for some people, isn't always fun for others...

I brg to differ slightly, I have had a few different 1/18 and they were all ok on track based surfaces. Of the ones i have had, Rc18, Losi mini LST and duratrax Mini Quake SE, the Mini quake SE was the most durable and most capable of the bunch. it had big enough tires to handle all but the nastiest terrainand a drivetrain that would handle a real powerful setup (1107/2y Neu w/ quark 33 car esc/3s lipo) I could run with the 1/10 ST trucks and keep up good, even the big jumps

I really hope traxxas did their homework and bring as tough a mini, as they have in the other categories they got
