Its water-resistant case is O-ring sealed to give a measure of safety in any terrain or conditions. It has 2-stage voltage detection so it’s compatible with 2S or 3S LiPo power too. It’s also versatile, accepting the included 6-cell NiMH battery or the option for twin 6-cell packs for 14.4V and 50+mph. The VXL-3M is a three-mode design featuring a standard Sport setting with forward, brake, and reverse, a Race mode that locks out reverse, and a training mode that limits forward and reverse to 50-percent throttle maximum. The 8-turn 4000kv 380 is efficient and powerful, delivering smooth, consistent response. The Velineon Brushless Power System pairs a sensorless 380 brushless motor with the VXL-3M electronic speed control. The 1/16 E-Revo VXL may be small in size, but it’s certainly not undersize in the powertrain department. It shares its big brother’s advanced chassis design, yielding similar dynamic capabilities and feel while being considerably more practical and affordable, positioning it well to dominate the mini monster market the way its big brother did the 1/10 class years before. In VXL form it’s still insanely fast-good for 50+mph with the optional dual battery setup, and that feels even faster at the smaller size. It’s about half the size (12.9 inches), less than half the price ($270), and a fraction of the weight (about 2.5 pounds) of the bigger E-Revo. Impressively, it did so without sacrificing speed-VXL versions were rated for 70+mph on 6S power!Īt nearly 2 feet long and tipping the scales at more than 11 pounds the E-Revo was no lightweight, and at $600 was not exactly light on the wallet either. When it came time for a Revo reboot, Traxxas released a beefier, tougher truck better able to withstand the extremes of backyard basher bumps, jumps and crashes. In that setting, the E-Revo’s lightweight design, which had traded off some durability for track speed, seemed somewhat less at home. The industry spent the next few years catching up, but during that time the racing classes that the E-Revo had been designed to dominate kind of tailed off in popularity, and so monster trucks were mostly being bought for sport bashing rather than competition. As its name implies, the E-Revo revolutionized the electric monster truck segment when it first came out-its lightweight design and advanced suspension offered a level of dynamic capability that made everything else seem outdated almost overnight.
