tt-01 mamba Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I want the revo. Will it be out before summer? (i'm looking for something to take on holiday for 7 weeks after the exams.) This will be absolutely perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcsammy Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 surprised the top speed of the E revo is only 40mph with 3S lipo, as the rustlers can get 70 good to see traxxas are now selling them as fully rtr with batterys and charger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the motor size is different, might not be 3500kv.... I can get 60mph out of mine, on 9cell NiMh, would be interesting to see if this can take 9 cell, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe of loath Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Rip out the VXL, sell it and throw in a MM system. a MMM wouldn't fit in a 1/16th.... maybe a MM with a 540 motor mod though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 did i hear the guy in the video say that it is fully waterproof?(the revo) if i did then that will be awsome Yep, it's waterproof. Traxxas have stated on their website that all blue parts (such as the Servo) represent that they are waterproof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt B Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Well they had better change the original VXL case quick then! Oh and I reckon the Revo will be about the same, or just maybe a little bit smaller than the Rustler, as the standard Revo is a pretty big truck.

joe of loath Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I think 60 with a 1.16th revo would be too crazy.... and there's room for a 540 conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryantocc Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 come on 60 for a 1/16 would be cool but most peeps cant aford to buy 3s so it would be nice if it went 30-40mph on a nimh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
