The first rc that I bought without knowing what I was actually buying. Fell in love with it but never bashed it, just running it around a large parking lot. Eventually I installed two mini savox servos. I still have it and run it every once in a while. Then I discovered crawling rc and became obsessed with that area of rc.
Funny, I did the same thing, building big cars last few years. Just bought this car today. I’ve had a few in the past. Bought a vxl for me and a brushed for my friends son’s bday Saturday. Great cars!!!
1/16 erevo vxl is one of my favorite cars. My 2.0 is built and is my favorite car. All cars have there weak points that need modifications. The Mojave is pretty solid out of the box as long as you locktite the wheel nuts. Anyway, great video!
Good to see you back at RC! The mini erevo was the first RC I bought myself to see if I wanted to get back into it from childhood. It was game over! Of course the mini needs RPM arms and shim the diffs. Then its solid. After the mini came the Redcat Rampage MT. That truck led me to your channel years ago. Now have six of the big boy 1/5 scales. Think I am taking my mini out tomorrow for the first time in years to the BMX track. Should be fun. Hope to see yours in action brother🤘👊
Nice Video! Looking forward for the upcoming Videos and Tests on that little Monster! ;-) My 7 yo son just got a Absima / Xinlehong 1:16 Spirit for Easter... I thought it would be a good Model to start with, it actually is his first "real" RC Car ever. But on the first day he already got used to it so good, that he put the throttle trim on full and still can handle it very good! I´m afraid it won't take long until he wants more, so I already took an eye on this nice 1:16 e-revo. Already subscribed to your Channel, so I can gather some information on that in the future... ;-) Greetings from Germany!
For performance, you should add a center diff (Traxxas #7014) and sway bars (Hot Racing #HRAVXS311X01). Also use LiPos, or run two Nimhs in parallel (for longer runtime) or series (more voltage=power).
Hi my son has the traxxas summit 1/16 scale I got him tge series contors so he can get more speed but its not working the car won't drive it will only turn left and right I won't go forward or backwards any idea
Yep, I have the mini slash as well, that vxl is crazy! I run it with duel 2s in series. My only gripe with the truck is it flips over way to easy, so I converted it to a merv for about $50 from eBay! I went with the vxl motor ESC cause it can run 4s. You can get a similar motor ESC combo for less than half as much
This is the only traxxas truck I have and only actual rc truck I have but I’ve had it for a couple years and love it I’ve only had to fix the a arms once bc I wasn’t paying attention and slammed into a car tire but it’s so much fun. And I just wired up a lipo battery and I still haven’t done the max speed yet
I don't know, how you drive, but I having the Revo 3,3 1/10 and E-revo Brushless 1/10,never had any problem with the transmission and gears, both are around 8 years old
As of now. I put the high-speed pinion gear on it and rented a few times over a month pinion broke. So decided to replace the engine mount with hot racing parts all the parts was wrong I had to physically cut out the engine mount brace armor put permanent thread lock on all the screws even the plastic parts
Man I just bought one of these and some 2s lipo battery, question is should I run a motor and esc fans on it. If so what fans do you guys recommend, I've been looking for some ,but not finding anything that has any good reviews some problem is just the tight space. Thanks for any help
New scriber here!! Understand that this video is older, I just got the erevo brushless for my grandson, how long does it take to charge the battery with the charger that's included?? That you. & How long will the car run on a full charge??
Is a nice car, i have one 1/16 E Revo but if you mant make it tough, you need to make some upgrates: RPM A arms, metal drive shaft, iron metal diferencials, strong spring suspensión, and it's mean extra $$$$ but if you like 1/16 E Revo ok do it. This morning i instaled a 3650 5900 kv, Is a Lot of power but i have to be carefull, Is a beast now ☺️
No, you need to gear it down and shim your diffs. Not sure what gear ratio but at least 2 lower on the pinion. also loosen the clutch a bit to protect your diffs. After I shimmed them they are much more durable.
Thank you for making this video, I have been kicking the thought of an e Revo around for a while... I own an Axial Yeti 1/10 which is really more like an 1/8th scale due to its size, and I own an Axial SCX10. So I have a crawler and a faster crawler. I was tossing the ball back and fourth between the rustler and the e Revo and this helped me make my mind up. I'm looking for something speedy, Lipo capable, and not too too much stuff to break... look up the axial yeti if you don't have one. there is ALOT to break. The e Revo looks so much more simplified and i'm very excited. Plus, I wanted that color body and it looks totally SICK!
complete new to the rc stuff but what would make me get this over the brushed variant? its a 100$ difference and I would find it hard to believe that the brushless motor is 100$. does it have a better chassis or something?
It could be for any age really considering you can lower the power in training mode and using the included NIMH battery or go full power mode and run 3s lipo.
I prefer Traxxas crawlers to everything else. I've tried the others and Traxxas is better designed and built out of the box. I hate that the SCX10 III servos crap out almost instantly, the transmission has an annoying clicking, and the 2 speed (1.5x) is not as good as the Traxxas 2 speed (2x). Locking diffs> dig function. I've never broken anything on my TRX4 or TRX6.

I got one, a brushless version E-Revo. i love it so much !!!!💙💛💚
I subbed, all these years watching your ford edge videos..now RC! I hit the lotto..
HUGE fan of your fordtech channel. Where the heck have I been. I didn’t know you were in rc. This is awesome !!!!!!
Funny, I did the same thing, building big cars last few years. Just bought this car today. I’ve had a few in the past. Bought a vxl for me and a brushed for my friends son’s bday Saturday. Great cars!!!
The mini erevo is an awesome little rc!! Nice little stunt machine!! Easy to carry around too!
So will running two 3s lipos get you 50mph or would you need to swap to a different pinion also?

I’ve been watching your Ford videos for years. I don’t know how I didn’t know you were into rc. Cool
I love 1/16 e revo vxl it the best rc truck ever made.
From my understanding you can only run the parallel connector with nimh battery’s
Should I get this or the Traxxas rustler xl-5 4x4
Nice Video! Looking forward for the upcoming Videos and Tests on that little Monster! ;-)

I thinked that this e revo comes out in may 2021?

I have a mini slash and I have been wanting a Vxl motor and a lipo
Yep, I have the mini slash as well, that vxl is crazy! I run it with duel 2s in series. My only gripe with the truck is it flips over way to easy, so I converted it to a merv for about $50 from eBay!

Shim the rear diff and get a sw250mg savox servo and your good to go
This is the only traxxas truck I have and only actual rc truck I have but I’ve had it for a couple years and love it I’ve only had to fix the a arms once bc I wasn’t paying attention and slammed into a car tire but it’s so much fun.

How hard to put crossfire or elrs in this? Esc and receiver are separate on it?
I want to fpv it and drive around my area a lot of trees and buildings
I’m from your other channel and had NO clue you were into Rc’s as well. Lol
Hoodie2103 same
Same here. That's awesome. Been watching the Ford videos for such a long time and had no idea...
Same
I don't know, how you drive, but I having the Revo 3,3 1/10 and E-revo Brushless 1/10,never had any problem with the transmission and gears, both are around 8 years old
Have Traxxas ever redesigned the rear bulkhead? It was pretty awful back in 2011.
What happened to the 1/16 Rally?
As of now. I put the high-speed pinion gear on it and rented a few times over a month pinion broke. So decided to replace the engine mount with hot racing parts all the parts was wrong I had to physically cut out the engine mount brace armor put permanent thread lock on all the screws even the plastic parts
I have a slightly older version with two nimh batteries and it is stupid fast.
Do you have a auto channel too?
Thanks for making that. Mine has been ordered for a couple days, same color. Can't wait.
I just bought a regular brushed one but it comes with only a car charger like what kid has a car
Good video! Do we get to see it run? Does it have a 3 valve 5.4? Hope not!
Man I just bought one of these and some 2s lipo battery, question is should I run a motor and esc fans on it. If so what fans do you guys recommend, I've been looking for some ,but not finding anything that has any good reviews some problem is just the tight space. Thanks for any help
I have Kraton 6s had to replace the esc and lipo 4 months after I got it
4:48
unboxing
YOU TALK TOO MUCH.
Beautiful video greetings from Brazil
New scriber here!! Understand that this video is older, I just got the erevo brushless for my grandson, how long does it take to charge the battery with the charger that's included?? That you. & How long will the car run on a full charge??
The trickle chargers take many hours.
@@RCAddictMakuloco thank you
1/16 e revo vxl second best rc truck ever made.
such a fun little car things a little rocket ship on 3s got mine geared 24/45 full steel gears with hot racing bevel diffs its bullet proof
Is a nice car, i have one 1/16 E Revo but if you mant make it tough, you need to make some upgrates: RPM A arms, metal drive shaft, iron metal diferencials, strong spring suspensión, and it's mean extra $$$$ but if you like 1/16 E Revo ok do it. This morning i instaled a 3650 5900 kv, Is a Lot of power but i have to be carefull, Is a beast now ☺️
It’s the same as ken block edition with bigger tires a a arms
I have a new boss 302 brushless in the box
Can you run 3s on these without upgrading the running gear first 🤔
No, you need to gear it down and shim your diffs. Not sure what gear ratio but at least 2 lower on the pinion. also loosen the clutch a bit to protect your diffs. After I shimmed them they are much more durable.
@@brenthood2337 gotcha 👌 thankyou for your help

Get the erevo bro
the + means it can go 60 mph with the correct battery
complete new to the rc stuff but what would make me get this over the brushed variant? its a 100$ difference and I would find it hard to believe that the brushless motor is 100$. does it have a better chassis or something?
Brushed is a 4cylinder and brushless is twin turbo v8
@@tylerbates8198 nigga what???
Electric rc are new to me I think it might have been the ESC for the LiPo battery or the snow got into some things
Dude didn't know you loved rc's too lol
Not gonna break had mine 10 years
Is 3s the highest the stock system could take?
yes
@@RCAddictMakuloco thanks. What size 3s could you fit?
JJ78RC Club usually around a 1400-1600 mah, the battery compartments are quite small
What age range would you recommend this for? And skill level.
It could be for any age really considering you can lower the power in training mode and using the included NIMH battery or go full power mode and run 3s lipo.
I decided on buying a rustler 4x4 do you know if you can put a 3s Lipo inside
I have one, yes you can.
So is this car 6s capable with the dual connector?
no
Thanks for getting back👍
can u put the integy motor fan on it for a vid?
its on amazon
1/16 e revo vxl best rc truck ever made and 1/16 e revo vxl truck rock and it cool and it be out ever and 1/16 e revo vxl truck is the best.

Great so far I recently posted a review.
Same here i didnt know either i just found out it is pretty awesome lol
Plz put like to can in the description
How good does it drive in the grass?
No issues here, it can bog down a bit just like certain 1/8 scale car that I have.
Just got mine today lol.... fun time commence
2200 mAh 2s Lipo is the best for this Car
In parallel is amazing
t-bone has nothing for it basically, just checked them website
Thanks so much
On 2s it goes 42
Did u say 2 3s batteries???!!!
you can run them in parallel
Did he just say traxxass or traxxas
nice video 👍🏻
The first rc I bought. Then I bought the 1/16 summit. Then I discovered crawling (Axial) and never looked back.

The newer E-revo 2.0 is much MUCH better than the 1.0.

Do you mean hoss
Thanks for your advice, was about to buy the E-REVO , now I won’t buy one , not worth it , the small one I will wait for your recommendations
its worth it
The remotes for traxxas are such a flop, I really dislike having to count blinking lights to reverse something. lame.
1/16 e revo vxl is the best and traxxas rocks and traxxas is cool and traxxas is best.
When someone has a rc car in the box for two months you know there addicted
No, they have way too many
Viper_Bite_308 right.. so they are addicted and bought to many.
I’m getting one

Stop pronouncing traxxas like that
You got it bud. I’ve been pronouncing it like that since the late 80’s so it may be hard to stop…
