Not so with the E-Revo Brushless Edition. For the uninitiated, this extreme 65+mph motor and battery combination is ordinarily a predictable recipe for a box full of twisted and mangled parts. We heard the call for more power so E-Revo was tested tough for durability with brutal 6S LiPo power and intense custom-wound brushless motors. For other companies, brushless-ready means just making some nominal provisions for battery and motor installation and letting the aftermarket develop the upgrades necessary to make it survive. We built the E-Revo for 6-cell LiPo and brushless power right from the start. Hard-Anodized PTFE-Coated Aluminum GTR Shocks.Heavy-Duty 17mm Splined Aluminum Hex Hubs and Wheel Nuts.State-of-the-Art Integrated Chassis Design.Up to 25.2 Volts of Massive Brushless Power.Equipped with RPM/speed, motor temperature, and voltage telemetry sensors.Traxxas TQi 2.4GHz Radio System with Docking Base.Equipped with Castle Creation's Mamba Monster Brushless System.Top Speed: 50+ with optional Power Cell LiPo batteries, 65+mph All-Out!.Possibly I will order in a brushed version and we can have two. the TRX motor is more $$$ and I'm trying to make it go under 10 MPH or so with gearing for a little torque on a brushed, have you seen the brushed version of this go? where can I find that. I have the 1/10 VXL set and it will run brushed motors.I haven't seen anything saying that the mini VXL will do this. it's only 12.99 and I have a line on a pair used for 5-10$ A MLST2 is a pretty heavy rig and you can see how just one pushes the Raminator or Ramunition around decent. The motor I am thinking of putting in here is a Losi Frenzy 370, The mini LST based trucks use two of these, and the Raminator version comes with only one. Still a fast truck and I wish I had wanted this less because I would have gotten the losi MRC instead, but I just couldn't resist. Okay, I have it on the stock pack, on training mode, and an 18t pinion, so the speed is limited even more. Sorry for the book, this LIL GUY gots me all riled up.īy far the best mini, now if we can get a mini LST3 with good sealed diffs and 1/16 single servo chassis, we'll have a good class!!!Įdit: PLZ rate this post if you thought it was a good read! LOOK OUT, hence the reasons I'm going to inspect, lube and shimm, and hopefully the thick fluid will help, I know It may kill the cornering a bit but we aren't racing it YET! Some big forces are involved here, and with a 50mph truck on 3s. and then instead of motor pushing drivelines pushing diffs/truck, you have one or two 70mph tires trying to pull the truck untill they slow down and the diff action reduces and once again the motor is trying to push the truck. every bit of freeplay in the diff internal gears and the ring/pinion is then exploited giving all the said gears a good mashing.

when it goes from say 65-70 mph to a halt.okay the driveline pushes the pinion, which makes the ring spin, diff spools the power to one free wheel, spinning it WAY FASTER than the truck is moving, wheel hits an object at speeds and tries to grab and pull truck forward. with one tire spun up and the diff spinning up, you have some real speed potential on that tire. I am hoping that with thicker fluid I can limit the diff action and keep the inside tires from spinning up and hitting the ground at like 55MPH. and with proper shimming and lube we can probably fix this problem, alum bulkheads may be neccessary for extreme abuse. I think hard bashing on 3s may just be something we have to realize WILL BREAK this lil' guy. I think 3s is mainly meant for speed, and how much power you can put through 1/16 parts is limited sometimes by size, even for hopups. I am going to pull it apart and fill em with 50K and check it all out, shimming if necessary.įeels like they are just lubed, says factory filled with 30K but I'm not so sure. and one has rebuilt his diffs, filled them with diff lube, (they were almost bone dry) and shimmed them, we'll see how that works, he never ran 2s or stock batt and is on 3s2p, running hard at bmx track and such. I talked to 2 guys that work there, one just got his but so far it's ok on 3s. LHS has a few, PL 2.2 dirt hawgs on 2s and stock tires on 3s has stripped a couple diffs, apparently they have seen some early bulkhead problems and stuff, and some of the first shippments had SHIMMED DIFFS from the FACTORY. No problems here as I am using stock batt, still haven't gotten/made a deans adapter.
