Another New Traxxas Release: E-Revo

Since the release of the Traxxas Revo in 2004, it has dominated at the track because of it's unique F1 style suspension and new chassis design. The Revo also saw a change in 2006, the 3.3 racing engine debuted so Traxxas incorperated it into the new Revo 3.3. The Revo now sees another change- electric!

The new E-Revo not only has a new top and electric motors, it also features a new chassis design that puts all the wait lower to the ground, and close to the center of the chassis for better handling and stability. Traxxas has said this is the best handling monser truck they've ever made. Also a great feature to the E-Revo are built in, enclosed battery compartents with air scoops to keep your batteries cool. This truck is completely brushless ready as most of the new cars Traxxas is releasing. The truck is powered by two 550 Titan motors, just like the new E-Maxx. To give it a racier look, Traxxas even includes a black wing. The transmission was designed to keep the weight in the center and lower to the chassis. Other features are listed below.

• Water sealed electronics.
• Quick release battery doors.
• EVX-2 speed control.
• Standard Talon tires.

It seems as though the new E-Revo uses the hard coated GTR shocks with ti-nitride shock shafts. It also appears that it uses hi torque water proof servos found on the new E-Maxx.

This truck has been released by popular demand obviously. If it wasn't for the people who wanted an E-Revo, Traxxas wouldn't have made one. This has been talked about by Revo fans since the original Revo, and many prayers have been answered. Traxxas took the E-Revo to RCX which kicked off this weekend and they said the E-Revo will be around the same price as a Revo 3.3. No word on release date.
