Got my first ever Traxxas RC today. A used "E-Revp 2.0". 😁
Never had a Traxxas before so thought I'd give it a go, ...was looking at getting the "Maxx" but then searching eBay this E-Revo jumped at me as the price was great, has some upgrades already and from what I've seen in my research before I bought should handle more to my taste. Not a fan of top heavy RC's that roll over too easy so the lower centre of gravity on this should be better than the Maxx.-
I like them both and both have their pro’s and cons. The Maxx is much much more durable, the revo handles/performs brilliantly, but is quite weak. Personally Id take the Maxx, as I believe theres better ‘Truggys’ from other competitors…_
Potentially look at a new ESC, the Traxxas one isnt as bad as the internet has you believe but theres a performance increase switching out to a HW/Castle.
Get a decent single servo, if it hasn’t already

Haven't had the chance to drive it yet as I'm giving it a deep clean/service first.
I see no need to change the ESC if it does what it should but the dual servo set up is on my list of things to change.
It has the Traxxas rear brace, steel centre CVD driveshafts as well as 7075 toe links so has some decent mods already. I also have the HR limiting straps to fit.
If it doesn't drive how I want or I don't get on with it then I'll move it on but wanted to give this a try.
