Update review: The wandering, slow steering, and glitching was fixed by getting a Aritronics Fhss2 system. I called Traxxas and they said seeing how I tested the Traxxas 2.4ghz pistol w/2 different receivers and one of them was brand new the prob was probably in the pistol so send it in and they could fix it for like $25! Thats a pretty good warranty but I have not got around to it yet. The tires have mushy sidewalls and have blown apart from cornering this heavy pounder on the mushy sidewalls. Have not broken anything yet after about 25 runs. I use SMC 4S 5000mah 20c and had to change the gear from a 18 to a 16 to keep the battery temp down so I recommend at least a 25c to run with the stock 18t pinion. -//- Great for bashers but not racers. The servos are very slow and the vehicle wanders a lot at top speed in stock form. I use a pinion with 2 teeth less than stock for my 4s 5000mah lipos to gain better acceleration, better runtime, and to go easier on the batteries. Stock radar speed w/ my smc 4s 5000 20c lipos was 36.5mph. Very durable so far and jumps ok but not as good as a bl8ight t. I am having glitching problems that I did have before even though my setup has not changed? I did try nimh but I had to put a 12t pinion on it to keep the Nimh batteries from popping. Lipo 4s is the way to go with a 2 to 4 tooth smaller pinion than stock if you ask me. The price difference between a far more superior BL 8ight 1.0 or 2.0 is only $40-$80 and thats comparing a new 8 to a new blrevo or a used 8 to a used blrevo. I am going to convert the Erevo BL to waterproof brushed and use the BL motor in an 8ight T. The motor just over powers the revo in stock form. I think it needs a better 2.4ghz system, better tires, and way better servos which makes the e-8ight seem cheaper and better from the start. |
