Erevo is such a unique car with an unparalleled driving style, don’t understand why it’s being kicked aside. So many people have loved the car for a decade
Revo has been my favorite since i was 16 in 2004 when the OG 2.5r revo dropped. I still have it. Also have a Erevo 2.0 with a castle system and minor strategic upgrades (shocks,springs, tubes toe links/tierods, rear chassis brace, hv servo, castle mmx/1515 system) 18/50gears. Such a rush to drive handles amazingly after some spring and shock tuning, standing back flips and 65mph+ easy.
Same got my Revo in 2004, Upgraded to the 3.3, All of the pivot ball and suspension goodies for light weight. Carbon fibre brake disk and still have it now- It’s a fun truck
I’m also in the SD county (San Marcos) and just purchased an e revo 2.0 today (1/22/24) from my local hobby store. It was the last one they had. Can’t believe it got discontinued, I’ve always liked the e revo in general. 😢
Great job. Awesome jumps and handling in the loose dirt. Both cars performed real well. Perfect location for pinning the throttle. Great insight into how you would improve on the E-Revo.
I think is a matter of taste , for me the summit 1/10 has been the most fun truck to play with ( over 6 years ), nowadays people look for trucks that can jump 10 ft high and so on but summit is so fun on the trails and rock crawling, I guess I am old school lol. Love the video guys! peace!
I have a v1 e revo and i love it. The OG v1 e revo brushless edition was always my dream truck but traxxas disided against its existence long befor i ever had the chance of bying one brand new, but now im in the process of restoring the one i have and im also barrowing my friends 2.0 e revo and i love it, its got 20,46 gearing.... Double backflips easy.
I just got my Used E- Revo last spring. I had to do repairs on it all summer but now have it like I want it.I did break a few parts on it but blame myself because I thrash the crap out of it. That's why I buy them used, not new. I still want the Summit. I do have the mini Summit.
We need the E-revo 3.0 guys!! Standard suspension, 2000Kv motor with a better layout, clipless body, modern bulkheads, GT-Maxx shocks. The E-revo needs to be track ready and stand alone from the Sledge
They might release a 1/10 or 1/8 Xrt eventually and that would just be too many similar rcs competing against each other. Hopefully the Revo comes back though.
@@timsgta That's only an opinion. It is similar to a Sledge and would be more similar to an equal sized xrt if one is ever made. They are all truggy-like rcs and they would all be competing against each other if certain ones were not inevitably discontinued.
I love my erevo 2.0. The erevo is a true monster truck because the chassis sits above the drive train. The sledge is a truggy, the chassis is below the drive train, giving it a lower center of gravity. I’ve gotten into 1/8 scale off road racing. Buggy and truggy. Build kit vehicles, tune every aspect of the vehicle, paint my own bodies, glue my own tires, solder esc and motors. If you guys want a really fun basher I suggest getting a tekno mt 410. You will be surprised how fun and easy they are to drive! Cheers!!
It is unfortunate that this truck got discontinued, I think it is awesome. Though, specifically with the axles, if it had CV axles like the LEM ones that used to be axailable on the Summit, I don't think it would've had nearly as many of the 2.0's problems that I've seen people post. Although these days, if it ain't made to go hurtling off some 30+ ft jump, it ain't it, everything needs to be the same.
Totally agree, a great truck. I think people don’t understand the limits of a RC car/truck. All these upgrades everyone does, and still breaks it must be trash. Would really like to see a newer updated version come out.
Erevo getting canned for the sledge which is pretty much a way better version but still a copy of an hpi trophy truggy. Atleast the erevo has an identity of its own and people loved it. The summit was good too!
If they do release an updated Revo, the only major thing they should change is the chassis design, give it a pan with more room. Just make it have more room but same driving characteristics and suspension setup, please don't get rid of the shock setup! Add metal spur, keep the cush drive, and like you said a better motor mount system, which would come with the redesigned pan.
I would love to keep the erevo suspension system, but it isn’t as durable or as practical. If they could make arms pull out less, it would be the best suspension Traxxas sells.
@@redbanditracingits strange that everyone is complaining about the suspension popping out a lot or having issues but my erevo NEVER has stripped a shock shaft of pulled off a shock arm off. I test it all the time and the shocks always smoothly extend without any strain. Maybe its just the weight of the fluid or somthing but its always been great for me
I have the original ERBE for more than 10 years (got one used in 2011) and honestly I don't break stuff much (I don't really do big jumps though so not a typical basher) upgraded radio, wheels/tyres, hexes, engine brace and not much else really...even have few upgrades bought that I did not have a chance to install yet and waiting for the stock part to break like RPM arms, RPM carriers etc never had issues with stock driveshafts so no CVDs and I run always 6s and big grippy tyres most of the time (first had Big Joes, now TrencherX 3.8 and Badlands 3.8) replaced few arms, rods and bulkheads from jumping and crashes and other than that replaced diffs few times and that is all from seeing how much stuff others break I got a bit too paranoid initially and got like 2 boxes of spare parts but hardly ever need to replace something so I guess I'll be keeping mine for a long time personally I think traxxas makes too many similar models just for the sake of releasing new stuff
I have noticed that issue with Traxxas lately with the HOSS and Stampede being the same cars. The erevo was a great and unique car so I don’t know why they would remove it. With a V.3, I felt it could have been great.
I’ve been saying that for a year in a half now. Erevo 2.0VXL is replace by Traxxas sledge because sledge is way better and it’s a lot stronger then a Erevo 2.0vxl. And faster then a Revo 2.0vxl. I’ve been saying this for ever
Your message is all over the place but I understand what you’re saying. The ERevo didn’t need to be replaced because of the Sledge, if that was the case then the 4x4 Stampede should have been discontinued as well because of the HOSS. I’m sure there were reasons other than the Sledge for discontinuing the ERevo like not selling, and it’s an outdated platform.
@@redbanditracing because the Erevo breaks a lot and when the sledge came in 2022 it got more popular then a Erevo. Them 2 servos stripped out doing a hard bash. But anyway they don’t make the Erevo 2.0vxl anymore. The sledges took over. I had that big dream when I was at Traxxas where house. All the Erevo 2.0vxl’s evolve into the Traxxas Sledges in my dream and I was all alone
I think it got replaced, because it actually overshadowed the Sledge. E-Revo has more quirks and is not as durable as Sledge, but it drives better and looks much cooler. Also its quirks give it a personality and the suspensions located inside the chassis look absolutely beautiful. If you want destroy it in skate parks and the only thing you care about is dropping the car from 20m, then yeah, get the Sledge. But if you care about driving and you don't mind working on your RC, then I'd say E-Revo takes the spot. I'm glad I was still able to find an unused one a few days ago, so I bought it and I cannot stop looking at it. Amazing RC.
@@Mulisak oh I’ve seen it. I’ve seen erevo breaks really easily I bash my erevo on the concrete almost landed on the roof hit the ground I broke the dog bone in half on my old erevo 2.0vxl 3 years ago
I'm beyond pissed I sold my Summit and my E-Revo and regretted it so I was going to get both again only to find this out. Also my passion is airbrusing aftermarket bodies and making my trucks my own, and now these new vehicles its like Traxxas doesn't want any other kinds of bodies on their vehicles. I'm officially done with Traxxas. I'll just go back to my Axial vehicles...
Traxxas is definitely in a weird spot right now. Summit and Erevo were amazing cars, but the cantilever suspension was much more complicated and fragile. Hopefully the new BL-2s system cars will be a good future.
They do sell them, I was searching around. Really hoping they bring it back in some way. Maybe with standard suspension, but keep the wide stance, a better clip less body, and maybe a different motor mount system. Love the Erevo
I don’t know yall bash the e Revo hard best suspension can upgrade to a new motor and run 7s and nothing out there will touch it. I’m not a fan of the sledge it’s built and based on the nitro cars ijs best car for the money is the Revo 2.0 with a few very cheap upgrades it hands down runs the sledge that’s the truck they should have cut😊
The Erevo is a great RC, shouldn’t have been discontinued. But the Erevo is not a basher for sure haha. Are you saying they should have cut the Sledge?
The Summit should have been updated to modern electronics or the price lowered to $249 25 years ago. A 6s capable Summit with a drivetrain able to handle it would be worth the current brushed, fragile version. Very few people will care that either model is killed off.
Got the m2c hinge pin blocks after bending both of my front ones haha. Definitely gonna get the shock towers if mine bend! Quite a bit cheaper than Traxxas’ upgraded 7075 towers/blocks! Also broke an inner hinge pin, so I got their upgraded ones as well 🤌

I remember watching your guys videos on the Erevo and it made me want one. It’s a cool car and drives great.
Erevo 3.0 Traxxas where is it?
I’m also in the SD county (San Marcos) and just purchased an e revo 2.0 today (1/22/24) from my local hobby store. It was the last one they had. Can’t believe it got discontinued, I’ve always liked the e revo in general. 😢
mine was the last in the shop to when I purchased it a couple days ago kind of a bitter sweet feeling wonder what they will do
Great job. Awesome jumps and handling in the loose dirt. Both cars performed real well. Perfect location for pinning the throttle. Great insight into how you would improve on the E-Revo.
Thank you, very surprised neither broke with those harsh landings.

Love the shirt. Evil dead FTW. Army of darkness is my jam!
Hope the nitro revo parts will stay available. I just got one. Lol
Thank you, love all the Evil Dead movies, and the series. There will always be parts available I’m sure.

That’s awesome, also love the Erevo.
Same here bro
cool videos bro. love the erevo platform got 4 of em and a summit i think i need a sledge
Sledge is a great car, definitely recommend!
I love my summits, I have 2
The way you upgrade the sledge is how I upgrade mine . I upgrade when needed .
That’s awesome, yeah there’s no point in upgrading parts that haven’t broken yet.
@@redbanditracing I tell my boy the same , RUclipsrs usually make people believe you gotta upgrade everything . Something’s are worth staying stock .
That’s why the MAXX hasn’t been upgraded, or the E-Revo 2.0. Ain’t broke don’t fix it
@@redbanditracing my Maxx was my first car and I upgraded everything .
E revo the best I bought one for cheap recently 😈👍
I just got my Used E- Revo last spring. I had to do repairs on it all summer but now have it like I want it.I did break a few parts on it but blame myself because I thrash the crap out of it. That's why I buy them used, not new. I still want the Summit. I do have the mini Summit.
A summit would be nice, I know someone with 5 T-Maxx’s a few were used. I might look towards a Nitro Rustler.

The revo is not similiar to anything though, only thing it has in common is 4 tires wand 4wd, thats it!
@@timsgta That's only an opinion. It is similar to a Sledge and would be more similar to an equal sized xrt if one is ever made. They are all truggy-like rcs and they would all be competing against each other if certain ones were not inevitably discontinued.

what wheels and tires do you have on the e revo
We use the sledgehammers.
I think they replaced it with the sledge. I like my revo 2.0, but it's literally so hard to work on imo compared to my sledge.
That’s true, erevo’s steering and suspension make it difficult to work on.
It maybe mean new traxxas 6s model is coming

Very true, might be more expensive haha
If they can't make the prophet they need selling it they're not going to keep making it
2023 Erevo 2.0vxl was the last one they made
Yes it was
ITS REPLACE BY TRAXXAS SLEDGE THATS WHY

Evolve a d move on. .. sledge is the replacement
I’ll never move on from the Erevo haha
Got the m2c hinge pin blocks after bending both of my front ones haha. Definitely gonna get the shock towers if mine bend! Quite a bit cheaper than Traxxas’ upgraded 7075 towers/blocks!
Also broke an inner hinge pin, so I got their upgraded ones as well 🤌
M2C makes very nice parts, I’ll replace as I go if needed. The Traxxas 7075 is not strong at all your right.
no power going to the front wheels
Which car are you talking about?
@@redbanditracing , the e-revo
Stop crying revo is old tech
What does the Revo half to do with this?
At least its not the 1/16
I was worried that was included
Phew, I was relieved too (we have two MERVs). But the video does say they might discontinue the MERVs next.. 😬
I was worried also, the Merv is a great car. When it got the USB-C charging I knew it wasn’t being discontinued.
