@@diggy2107 I stopped RCing a few months after the Revo came out. I owned the t-maxx which I made the mistake of installing the Dynamite .26 upgrade kit. It was way to much power for the original .15 t-maxx diffs though and i was stripping them all the time. Traxxas just released the Revo so I bought it, loved it, and had to put it all away because I was just starting my career and had no time. 2 months ago i saw an electric buggy boasting of 50+mph for only $130. I was bored and bought it. It was my first electric RC car and BOOM, I am right back into it. I still dont have the spare time for nitro so I needed to buy a new electric truck. I saw the newest version of the E-Revo VXL and had to have it. What I did not realize is how much larger Traxxas considers 1/10th scale now a days. I was looking for a truck to lightly bash around the neighborhood with. That is not what the new E-Revo VXL is for. I was shocked by the size and the insane power it puts out. It's by far the best RC truck i have ever driven but there are very few places I can actually use it properly. Now i am thinking of trying out drag racing. BTW, great review.

Very good presentation Brett! Keep up the great work brother.

The motor should be in the front and they should have a 4 link setup in the back with a solid axle like real drag cars have. There's a reason why drag cars don't use modern type of independent suspensions in the rear.

@Boogie_the_cat

2 ай бұрын

My friends which professionally run RC drag cars have the motor in the back. That's how they do it. It's nothing about being "faithful" to the looks of real dragsters, it's about what performs best in smallish RC cars. Which is having the motor in the rear. If you wanna buy a truck for looks, don't buy a dragster, they're made for performance first, authenticity second. Cry about it if you want.

Are the front/rear arms shorter than the regular 2nd slash? I assume the front is to accommodate the bandit rims

@AMain_Hobbies

Yes, the arms are shorter. I believe the truck uses a Slash length chassis with the shorter Bandit suspension arms. If you had those pieces lying around you could make this vehicle. Traxxas made a video on how to do just that: kzread.info/dash/bejne/i3Ztl8SfdKjgZ8o.html -Brett
