E-Revo 2.0 owner looking for a "simpler and lighter" car

[ukhanjemb]

Hello friends, I currently have an E-Revo 2.0 with a few mods like HD links/rods and limiter straps in rear suspension

I´m not a hard basher, I like to try a few jumps, flips and speed runs, always being careful with the car

It´s an awesome car but I think it´s too heavy and a little dificult to drive because it has a lot of inertia, I also prefer it would only have one battery instead of two (I don´t like having too many lipos at home and two sets for the Erevo consists in four lipo batteries)

Before the E-Revo I had a Stampede 4x4 VXL which I found easier to drive and now regret selling it.

  router login I´m thinking in selling the E-Revo and buying a single battery car, and two options are the Rustler 4X4 VXL with sledgehammer tyres and 9080 Extreme Heavy Duty Kit, and the other option would be the Arrma Outcast 4s V2  192.168.0.1

The Rustler would allow me to use my 6000mAh 3S cells, I can buy the car used and after selling the E-Revo I think I´d manage to save a few money for spares

The Arrma is new so I´d have to buy it new and also I would need to buy at least two new 4S batteries, that are not cheap, So i´d have to spend more money even selling the E-Revo

I know there are more options like the tekno MT410 or the Rival MT10 but I live in Spain and I´d have to order the spare parts from overseas, that´s why I prefer Traxxas or Arrma

My heart says Traxxas Maxx, but that would need 4S.  As you can see from my signature I have most of the Traxxas cars you suggest. Ive just been for a bash with my Revo 2.0 and I agree its a bit heavy. 
 

Rustlers are great, but they do need a few upgrades, so they end up being expensive!

 

Ive no experience with the Arrmas but I hear great things about the 3S range, so Id say thats better than the Rustler. 

 

BUT regardless of how much I like Traxxas. You cant beat a Rival MT10 for value.

If you want a jack of all trades then would you consider a short course truck like the Traxxas Slash or the Arrma Senton? Associated do the SC10 Pro4 for comparison.

 

Outcast is still a bit of a big truck so if you are comparing Arrma to Traxxas then the equivalent of the Traxxas Rustler would be the Arrma Vorteks. I'm not aware of an Associated truggy.

 

If you want to stick with Traxxas trucks then how about the Hoss? If you've invested in a lot of Traxxas chargers, batteries etc then I'd want to stick with what I already have.
