The new TRAXXAS E REVO!!!!!

Yeah, IMHO the lack of a real web page for it (besides the teaser pages) can only mean delays. I'm not holding my breath, I'd say one month from now (Mid June-ish) they will be shipping.

Regarding the 500K Center Diff - according to Tim Roberts on Revo-World, the E-Revo Center diff option part will come with 500K not 100K.

I agree with MacII. I'd believe that Mid June will probably be a realistic ship date for it.

I don't want to sound rude here cause I respect the people in this forum but.... Have you guys checked your calendars? Its mid-may now and quickly approaching the end of May! Still no E-REVO or Slash! I hope this doesnt get dragged out like the MMM

The Slash and E-Revo aren't supposed to start shipping until the 22nd at the earliest.

That's cause they have already sold out I thinks.

Yeah, wouldn't be surprised

Someone on the Traxxas forums already has one, and has posted a vid of it running on Youtube. The thread's in the E-Revo section if you're interested.

A confirmation on that thread of the battery compartment size:

sure... 7 1/8 long, 1 1/8 tall, about 1 3/4 deep. It has these movable battery stays so you can have a snug fit for you batterys, nice little feature.

180.9mm x 28.5mm x 44.5mm

Was hoping for a little more height for batteries - looking to go for a Tekno 1515/3D (1360kv) on 8S and (sticking with TP cells for now) leaves me with 2 options:

8S (2x) TP3300-4SXV 14.8V 4-Cell 351g 25x44x148 $154.99
or
6S (2x) TP5000-3SXV 11.1V 3-Cell 388g 25x48x160 $179.99

There's only a 10% difference in W/hr capacity between the two and both would leave a little room on top for cooling air to flow over the packs.

I've heard from a very reliable source that it's only 160mm at full height/width. The bays kind of taper...hope to have mine soon so I can see with my own eyes and calipers.

Won't the 6s setup not fit at 48 mm??

Just checked Tower mine shipped today Just in time for father's day!

I just checked it out in the hobby shop today and the battery bays are rather small. I could tell for sure my flightpower 3s 5350 mah packs would not fit because they are too thick. Like said above the trays taper down from the outer edge toward the center of the truck as well. I think traxxas made a mistake on this one. After seeing the body up close I really did not care for it either. Everything else was nice though!
