This is the new Traxxas E-Revo VXL brushless monster truck. It is box stock in this video. The first segment is using the included 7.2 volt Traxxas NiMH battery – I am filming while some friends drive it. It was the first time driving this RC for each of them, to give you an idea of how this handles. The second segment is with a Zippy 3s 11.1 volt 1300mAh battery – I am driving. This was my third time driving this E-Revo. With the stock tires, it works surprisingly well. It drives almost exactly like the full-size version and is a TON of fun on the track. With the 3s lipo it really has too much power for racing, 6 cell NiMH or 2 cell LiPo would be perfect.
I received my new tires and we decided to test them with my friend’s mini revo while im waiting for a new bearing for mine… setup: CC mamba max 9000 kv 3S lipo flightmax zippy 1800mah and then flightmax zippy 2X 2S 2200mah (4S) 35t 45t on 3S 35t 55t on 4S HPI super nitro foam tires First test we used 28t pinion and 55t spur gear, it was undergeared… then we ran 35t 45t but after some run the spur gear melted on 3S, we then installed the 55t spur gear but ran it on 4S. For the run at 82mph the GPS was shut off accidentaly… you can hear the “beep” sound when we install the body… most of the runs we were at 3/4 throttle, the pavement have too much bump make it hard to control…. Thx for watching!!
thinking of getting one of these, are they good?
Yo I got a erevo vxl it keeps flipping forward when I jump it so can u tell me war to so and when I jump hit I give it alot of gas still flips forward
Yo I got da same car when I jump it it’s like it’s top heavy watshould I do
i have the same thing but i have a spektrum 2.0. i love this little thing and i jump it in the ravine behind my house. it is the shit!!!!!!!!!!!!
with that much power 4wd becomes a huge advantage. Not you won’t slide with 4wd, but you can hold much more speed and even accelerate through it in the curves.
How come ive stripped my merv’s diffs 3 times even with stock tires and batteries
@nitrotruggyracing147 nvm forget this comment
you almost had it a 6:27
Hey anyone have a recamindation on buggies to get I’ve been looking in to a nitro backdraft 3.5 redcat racing any suggestions in that categori
very nice control of the car for a box stock setup.
And if im not mistaken, thats a DX3.0 i saw there. Excellent radios, have one in my mini revo, and well, i can really feel the difference. Mine’s now in full-blown competition setup, and it’s seriously fast!
i shall post videos soon when i collect enough racing footage.
@Rccar23 he uses a DX3.0, which is the older versions of the Spektrum radios. i still to this day run one, even though mine is about 4 years old. Bloody good radios. tough as nails too.
great video, thank you. l’ve never had the chance to find a track i can run it on, it was fun watching stock merv on the track. I’m down to 19T pinion because of over heating, can’t seem to find heat sink or fan made to fit mini revo esc (that’s in stock) I got 60wt shock oil, 50 diff fluid, black springs so far.
@dries3sy wheelies with 1 stock battery
@magikgonzo power is nothing without control although the the extra power is always nice
can you make wheelies with 1 battery
Hey Man You Can’t Have Too Much Power
Powerest Is it, Better Is It ^^
Nice Vid, One Of The Best I Have Seen
@LilProdutions – No, it’s an RC racing track.
@TheTHump2 – Yes, this is the 1/16 E-Revo
@Rccar23 – No, I do not.
Nice driving skills!!! the driver mod is the best one you can make. Best off road track mini revo video on youtube that I have seen. What is the song playing in the video?
lawl is this a bike track?
Whats your runtime?
Great vid lovd the opening jump is that a 1/16 though
Do u use telemetry

what charger do you use for the battery?
nice what charger do you use for the battery?

is this the battery?
Oki merci beaucoup donc en gros pour Nash je peux même mettre mon 23 et pour vitesse 31 et la couronne ? C’est surtout sa dont je connais rien ^^” genre la couronne d’origine est complètement plate
donc je vais en prendre une en acier de chez The Toyz mais jhesite entre 45 et 50 dents ? Je suis avec lESC et moteur d’origine, et j’ai un sidwinder en stock ^^
Merci
Beaucoup pour ton aide Mike
@MDRPDTROMGLOL Salut, merci
Pour 2S , ca depend si tu fait juste de la vitesse ou non, car il va chauffer si tu fait du bashing… le pinion 28t va te donner environ 40mph. en haut de 31t il me semble in faut grinder le support de moteur.
31t serait bien, ca te donnerais environ 45-50mph
Vraiment impressionnant ! Je voulais juste un petit conseil svp, je roule en 2S quel est le meilleur rapport couronne/Pignon svp ? Pour avoir une bonne vitesse ? Merci
@kraxetk Hi, i dont know he exact speed limit, we didnt used the gps in the buggy for the 100mph run because we were waiting for a new one, the old one was broken.
We used it in the revo, and later witha the buggy off camera , got 98.4 mph with the buggy running a weaker battery, with the gearing we got 100mph on radar…
It is a very good speed measuring tool.
@MikePeperni Hi, what is the speed limit for the Forerunner 101. I noticed you did’nt use it in the faster car vids. Is it a pretty good speed measuring tool?
@nevrnuftorq the foams are a must, the setup help, and we used a lot of room!
the garmin doesnt lie!!! dont know how you ever keep that thing straight though
@Sportwerks408 They are HPI super nitro foam, pre-glued to the wheel, we ran the mamba 5700 motor.
What wheels/tires are those?
WHere did you get those wheels/tires?Is that the stock motor?Or a castle?Love the truck…Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Dshall88 i think it was SMC 25C 3S 1800mah
what batterys are those
@666soldierz Oui les titre sont en anglais parce que la majoritée du monde comprennent l’anglais, et je suis sur des forum americains pour le RC, donc est plus facile de les posté en anglais… Jai acheté le radar sur ebay.
vs etes quebecois et tous vos titre son en englais……
pour le e revo WOW c vraiment ma prochaine achat je posede le 3.3 il me faut le merv
et pour votre radar tu la acheter ou?
@bdabeast05 you are right. We ran it on 3S and 4S to see if it could handle it.
It could handle 3S, on 4S it would overheat and lost power after 2 runs.:)
but i thought 9000kv can only handle 2 cell lipo
how did you fit a mamba max to fit on that car!?!?!?!?!?
your rims a B3AST btw
i tried on ebay no luck i guess it’s like you said hard to find. I found some on another website but they want you to pay9.99 just for a membership to buy any thing off there.
@ruffrider28435 They are HPI super nitro foam, they come pre-glued on this rim, but they are hard to find, they are discontinued, your best bet is on ebay
