Our GPS showed with stock gearing the truck topped out at 50 mph. The softer low-end makes it easier to drive when going slow, but it still has more than enough raw snap to pull off standing backflips.
So, we felt like the new Revo is slightly softer off the bottom and into the mid-range but came on harder in the last 10% of the throttle. So ya, we barely noticed it get past “skin temp” after driving. Power: Ya, how about that new power system? The ESC comes right out of the X-Maxx. Those big tires and crazy power system made the truck a missile when zooming around the back yard. Oh, we also did a lot of grass driving with the truck and it was awesome. No, you can’t corner very fast with it, but it loves to speed run and pull off standing backflips. It has crazy power and the chassis to use it, so if airtime is your thing, the 2.0 should be at the top of your list.īy the way, driving the 2.0 on pavement was a ton of fun. We feel like we also need to mention that yes, it is capable of serious airtime right out of the box. The suspension also does a good job of soaking up landings, even super tall ones like jumping off a roof. The 2.0 does have a lot of weight in the tires, so with the 6S power system, pulling off double backflips isn’t that hard, which of course is great fun. That also means it loves to pull off tricks while airborne. This means it is quite sensitive to trigger inputs. While it does have a center diff, it jumps more like a non-center-diffed truck. Jumping the 2.0 is also much like the old truck. Yes, on higher grip surfaces you’ll have to keep corner speeds down to prevent rolling over, but in the loose stuff just drive it in hard and peg it at the apex. Yes, it does traction roll when it has the grip available (pavement, higher grip dirt), but in really nasty, loose conditions, it is amazing.įor cornering, the 2.0 has a lot of steering, which is a good thing to have on a truck this big/fast. The 2.0 is set-up for soft surfaces and does an amazing job of finding traction where there seems none to be had. It still has a lot of chassis lean in the corners and the ultra-long travel suspension is still extremely progressive. Charging was taken care of by a Traxxas EZ Peak Live.ĭriving: The new Revo drives a lot like the old unit. We popped four Interstate AA batteries into the TQi and used a pair of Traxxas 3S 5000mAh LiPo batteries to power the truck. Set-up Notes: Lots and lots of bone stock. All the parks offered plenty of pavement, grass, mud, and sand to drive on. Test Venues: We used 3 local parks for testing. Test Drivers: Robbie A-Is-For-Airtime, Iron Mikeee, Sam The Noob, T-Mohr, and yours truly. The wheels were tight, the shocks were well built and not leaking, the gear mesh was spot-on, etc. What’s Needed To Complete: Four AA batteries for the transmitter, a pair of LiPo packs for the truck, and a battery charger.īuild Quality: We could find no fault with the build quality on the 2.0. Primary Competition: Other big monster trucks like the ARRMA Kraton and Losi LST 3XL-E, and stunt trucks like the Tekno MT410 and the ARRMA Outcast. Runtime (measured by BSRC on 6S 5000 LiPo): 18 minutes Top Speed (measured by BSRC, stock gearing, 6S LiPo): 50 mph Speed Controller: Velineon VXL-6s brushlessĭriveshafts: Large metal CVD style shafts at the wheels Scale: 1/10 (it is huge for a 1/10th scaler)
Unboxing Pictures: Big Squid Unboxes The E-Revo 2.0 Is the new version faster than the old one? Does it break less than the last one? Is it worth the money? What are you waiting for, start scrolling down for the good stuff… While we haven’t had a ton of time with the E-Revo 2.0, we have certainly put it through its paces. The second version of the E-Revo was beefed up from nose to tail, with some of its upgrades coming right off the giant X-Maxx. It has just been a few weeks since the Traxxas E-Revo 2.0 was announced, but it is already making a huge buzz among the bashing community. The electric form of the Revo was even more extreme, going even faster, and jumping even higher. Soon, brushless was taking over everything and the E-Revo was released. In the beginning, the Traxxas Revo was a nitro powered monster truck that set new standards for performance.
