The new TRAXXAS E REVO!!!!!

[Finnster]

Damn, I'm away for a couple weeks and look what changes. LOL @ the new EMaxx owners tho. Revo>>Maxx

[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.

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

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.

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...

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!

i will be at rc x to!!!!

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.

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.

[rschoi_75]

jnev, can you check to see how much room there is for motor clearance? And how the tranny is bolted onto the chassis as well.

I think this will answer your second question:

[lincpimp]

Hmmm, I wonder when Sike will be selling off the chassis with the tranny?

[Jbreddawg]

Wonder how many parts from the revo will bolt up to this new chassis ? Maybe just buy the chassis seperatly and swap everything over and have an e-revo ? Atleast you can upgrade to the newer tranny at the same time !
