    Good review. My take is to add the limiting straps and/or the bump stock mod inside the shocks and that will solve the end rod problem. Simple and inexpensive. Back that up with the aluminum back brace. Secondly, I never understood people who want to pay $500+ for an RC and then crush it with 50’ jumps at a skate park. Then these people get upset about something breaking? Have fun and treat your rigs with respect and they’ll hold up.

    Just got it, sent it, broke the upper tower in the back. But NO regrets I freaking love this thing--I knew it was going to break, that is the point is to send it, I love how it rotates 15 20 ft in the air, I think if you where into BMX Skateboarding and got old And you want to have a similar feeling this is for you--its made for skate parks and loves BMX tracks ones with big air jumps--best purchase I have made in a long time Awesome. After I fix it I need to practice with a smoother landing. Jb weld and zip ties are holding up good, but I am going to toughen it up.

    I really like your comment, I have to say that I drove it 5 times and it broke down 5 times. Push ends, rod ends, shock ends, centre drive shaft, 3x servos... it's the biggest mistake I ever made buying an RC car. It's way to expensive and it's not a solid car.. first jump and the fun was already over. In fact , which fun at all.. it cost me almost 900 euros to drive this thing and I was shocked that it didn't hold it for 5 minutes. The first 6 months I've driven 5 times, after this I totally disassembled the car and I put it back together like it should. After this I could drive it for hours, at least if the electronics let me to 😂 no more traxass for me. I prefer my tekno eb 48.4 and my hotbodies d8t brushless conversion.. just my opinion and experience. Great job on the channel msm, I like it

I drive it 1year know, nothing broke and I give it a good blast. But I prefer a truggy, it's more beautiful, bigger, it drives better at the track.

    I was a little unsure if I should buy the Revo 2.0 but I ended up buying it and I’ve had good luck with mine so far (going on 4 months of owning it). I did do the rear aluminum brace with limiting straps mod. I also upgraded to the Hot Racing aluminum steering assembly and aligned my servos. I did all the upgrades and alignment before I ever ran it. So far I have not broken anything yet.

  • @seth9145
    @seth9145 3 роки тому

    Old video but he is spot on when he said I maybe wouldn't recommend this to someone that is just getting into the hobby. My first hobby grade car was the first e-revo 6s.... which was a monster, that you couldn't control, and broke when you just looked at it. I broke that thing almost every time I ran it, not even kidding, and I wasn't even crazy hard on it. I sold it for a loss and stayed out of RC ever since and I swore I'd never come back. But then came...X Maxx... which I didn't even know about until 2021 because I swore I was done after my E-Revo 1.0 experience. Personally I don't think this new E-Revo 2.0 is going to cut it either like the reviewer said. I think it's a fun car but one you're going to be fixing a lot especially when you compare it to the durability of an X-Maxx. I do love the E-Revo style though... I thought maybe Kraton 8s would be dope but it's durability isn't that great either and expensive to replace bent metal chassis. I just don't think they are quite there yet on making mid to high range e-revo style cars... if I bought an e-revo it would be the 1/16 scle...lol I am not even kidding. So I had it for the collection and had that style but not dumping tons of cash fixing it all the time

En elke competitie wagen komt nog steeds goedkoper uit dan een revo, zeker met alle upgrades traxxas nodig heeft en met alles watje stuk gaat rijden. Denk ook na over wat je wil, wil je rijden of wil je telkens liggen sleutelen als er iets stuk gaat? Als je wil rijden koop dan zeker GEEN traxxas, ik heb er 20 verschillende gehad, ik kan het weten. Daarna heb ik een hpi vorza gekocht, wat een verschil. Dat is tenminste kwalitatief gebouwd. Tekno ben ik ook zeer tevreden over en mijn buggy kost rijklaar ongeveer even veel als dat de revo heeft gekost, met als groot verschil dat er aan men tekno, hpi, hotbodies zelden iets stuk gaat.. En dan heb ik nog een professionele hobbywing xerun motor combo steken van +-300eu, kom er maar naast staan met een revo.. Ik rijd op 4s rond de 70 a 80, dat rijdt een revo op 6s. Plus ik ben zeker dat als ik wil gaan rijden ik het ook kan. Met traxxas ben je nooit zeker of je kan rijden, daar ben je zeker van dat je kan sleutelen. Plus die rtr wagens steken maar half in elkaar, je moet ze helemaal uiteen halen, zelf terug opbouwen, shock deftig vullen, diffs shimmen en deftig vullen. Man als ik 800eu betaal voor een wagen dan moet ie ook echt rijklaar zijn!! Voila ik hoop je hiermee een deftige uitleg te hebben gegeven. Kijk maar eens naar competitie truggy wagens, ze zien er mooi uit en ze rijden super goed op elke ondergrond.

    Love ur video Mark..big fan of urs.. I jus started in this hobby. Got a Traxxas Rustler 4x4 rustler vxl as a first RC.. was wondering whether to get Erevo 2.0 or Arrma Kraton V4... I keep pulling my rod end on my Rustler..was thinking of trying out Arrma.. btw my Rustler are on Hobbywing Max10 SCT...

      Hey, I’ve had a Kraton v3 for 2 years. It’s been nothing short of amazing. Every time I take it out and punch it on 6s it puts a smile on my face. I’ve only upgraded a few things and not because they broke but just because I wanted to put some shiny to it lol. It’s an absolute tank I’ve crashed it and landed wrong many times and it wants more. My uncle has a traxxas Xmaxx and the Kraton obviously outruns and out performs it. My first rc was a stampede 4x4 which I upgraded to Vxl and am planning to upgrade again soon. I would hands down recommend the Kraton over any traxxas and that’s coming from someone who started with traxxas and had owned several. Best of luck!

    Hey Mark, take away that the e-revo 2.0 is an electric car and that it is fast. Do you prefer the handling on the e-revo or an old school revo 3.3 nitro? I know it's apples and oranges, but i'm not talking about the convenience and low maintenance of an electric rc car compared to nitro, but the actual driving the car itself (street, bashing, track). BTW love your shows!

    Hi Mark, can You somehow explain why You recommend Traxxas batteries? I do not agree with You as on the market there are a lot of much better batteries than TRX. More powerful (TRX is only 25C?), bigger than TRX (I have 7200mAh) and much more cheaper then TRX (probably all of the other batteries are cheaper). What is the reason for advising weaker product, is that really fair?

    Go to a minimum of 100wt shock oil, purple springs in the back and blue springs in the front, and you wont have to worry about your shocks again. The limiting strap mod is just a band aid, you have to slow the suspension speed to stop breaking the shock ends. Ive had mine for 2yrs now and havent broken anything but the spoiler mount twice.

    • @adambahnsen4577
      @adambahnsen4577 4 роки тому

      @Geocentric mine does very good off road with that setup. Its what i call my General Mayhem setup. I have another set of shocks for the skatepark and for big air that uses 21lb extended springs and 3000cst diff fluid as my shock fluid. Its very good for those environments. When i take it trailing/crawling i put my 3rd shock setup in thats bone stock. Trailing/crawling is the only thing the stock setup is good for given the weight of the vehicle and the weight of the unsprung components, at least in my opinion. I also run 10500mah 2s and 7200mah 3s packs and have a saga mount with a 4292 motor, so mines a bit heavier than normal, lol.

      RC stuff Yeah, I guess it doesn’t come with the jumper due to the thin battery compartments. The car is pretty heavy and I wouldn’t think it wouldn’t perform well with a single 2s or 3S battery. A 4s pack is too thick and wouldn’t fit in the battery compartment. I do have a UDR also so maybe I’ll use the jumper from it on the Revo and see how it performs with a 3S pack.
