  • Damn.

  • Subscribe to "rcnightmare" you can see unboxing videos tips and more

  • with these sort of failures, it makes me wonder if things will ever go back to mechatronic speed controllers... surely they can take abit of juice... though the programming is abit limited and not being able to support brushless

  • I have an e revo with a suspension problem. When I have all of my pushrods in the same hole, the front sits higher no matter what. I tried switching the shocks around but nothing. I had to put the back pushrods one hole higher to get it to sit level but someone told me not to do that. Any suggestions?

  • Oh no you let the smoke out!

  • Comment removed

  • Those quarks hehhhhhhh the mamba monster is better only if it was out in that time you would have been in luck.

  • i have an e revo converted from nitro with the mmm with2200kv and its unstoppable!!!!!!!!!!

  • now that's a bbq!

  • Why that happened?

  • @TheAL3xGR Catastrophic FET failure, a problem that was common to these esc.

  • @tekstyle373 Damn! I thought the Quarks were good ESC's. I was just about to pick one up.

  • @tekstyle373 At lease did the FET driver saved?(brainboard,not the board with the FETs,the other)If this works,you can/could remake a FET board

  • @TheAL3xGR The inside of the esc was burnt entirely. Just a pile of carbon.

  • @tekstyle373 how man c can it handle? i thought it was only 4 but might be wronge

  • @kruppcody1 They are rated for 6 cells, I was running 5 with a BEC...

  • @tekstyle373 Did you over amp? Seems to be a common trend with RC car guys to have no idea how many amps they are pulling... We have had fets go in our Boat ESC's but its always from over amping.

  • that sucks lol

  • that hapened to my mini e revo bruchless truck but myn went up in smoke and fire the batteries blowup

  • doesnt erevo have twim motor?

    why does ithis have one

  • @98CiViC0301 The standard e-revo has 2 brushed motors, the Brushless Edition has 1, but if you look at the post date of this video it was on you tube before Traxxas even made an e-revo.

    I converted a 3.3 ntro revo to brushless.

  • sweet truck man..too bad you never got to use the mamba in it..you would prolly still have lol jk..i would like to see one of these as a crawler..check out e revo trial on you tube bytch is awesome man..four wheel steering and all..

  • damn dude , lucky

  • Man that revo is a beast!!!!

  • nice

  • Does any1 hav the Mamba Monster Max Combo which includes the Castle Neu 2200kv Motor? If so could u plz reply tell me how well it performes? Thanx :~)

  • I had that setup after this. My Neu 1515 1y is the same motor as a castle 2200. Castle leases the design rights from Steve Neu.

    It worked great! watch some of my other revo video's like to see it in action.

  • I do, on my emaxx, running 6s, get it and you won't regret it, the mamba monster esc is great, but haven't tried the ezrun or the tekin.

  • What brushless system were u using?

  • It was a Quark 125b with external bec and a Neu 1515 1y.

  • this happened to my e maxx just the other day it sucks

  • why the speed controll is poofed.?

  • It was fet failure.

  • Driving in sand can be a bad thing for the motor.

  • The motor was sealed on both ends, no sand got in it.

  • thats gotta stink

  • hey man great e-revo, i'm sorry for the broken! can you subscrive to me? i have an e-revo too :-D

  • that is so insane!!!! great vid btw

  • reguler over heat??

  • no, it was fet failure. I had only been running 90 seconds when this happened. I was geared on the conservative side, and the motor and battery were ambient temp.

    When I took the esc apart it had failed on a fet in the middle of the pcb and started a chain reaction.

  • WOW I want it.

    Beautiful truck. Do you still have it? and if so, what's it got in it now?

  • I sold the truck a little over a year ago to convert a mugen mbx5r to brushless.

  • man im sorry that all these jackasses wrote all over your wall. keep it goin man. nice ass truck

  • no worries man, but thanks!

  • yea, i just dont understand what tickels people fancies when they do this, it just doesnt make since

  • geat video

    how muchh did it cost?

  • I had about $1350 into that truck. $320 was the dx3r radio, $290 was the neu 1515 1y, $150 for the 5s lipo. $225 for the quark 125b, $200 for a revo 3.3 roller, $150 in hopups (TiN gtr shocks, rpm arms, and a few other goodies I forget now)

  • hey i like yer truck dude :0) fuck all those

    fags who leave negative comments enjoy

    life ..

  • Thanks man! I'm with ya. If you notice I have left his last few comments unresponded to. This truck was great! it has a new home now as I am into 1/8 brushless buggies,drifters and crawlers now.

  • ha ha you idiot get a mamba monster v3 or so and learn how to drive no respect from me

  • 1) When i made this vid there was no such thing as a mamba monster on the market, a V1 replaced the quark, a V2 when the bec died in the V1 and a V3 when the bec died on the V2. It ran it with a V3 for 6 months then sold it to convert a Mugen buggy.

    2) I can drive, we were just screwing around that day.

    3) thanks for the insults! much appreciated.

  • oke but still no respect and if you watch your other comments you will see your not good

  • thats because your an idiot ...lol why would he want your respect ...like you actually matter?

  • because you are just stupid if you read its other comment and don't be a friend of him you will see

  • really? is the cool thing to do now trash talk people on youtube? i guess it is, cause people must look up to you. a lot of people. this guy is allowed to do what he wants with whatever makes him happy. and you godda say this shit? why would someone want respect from you. your horse shit...

  • This guy obviously does not like me for some reason, but you are right it does not matter. Cheap thrills by being disrespectful to people you do not know on the internet just floats some peoples boats.

    It's funny he chooses to insult me for a video that is over a year old and tells me to get a v3 when a Mamba Monster V1 was not even available at the time this was filmed.

  • Comment removed

  • I have a stampede vxl and this vid makes me want a revo. They are so bad ass.

  • that was really gay

  • Ok im not going to lie, E-Revo is a sad attempt to mae a better e-maxx. lol but honestly, if e maxx had revo suspension with revo body style and wheels/tires it wuld be awsome.

    E-Revo's @ fail other thn body style suspension and wheels/tires

  • This one was not an "E-Revo" I had it about a year before you could buy an E-Revo. It was a brushless converted 3.3 Revo.

  • Then why does it say "Brushless E-Revo up in smoke " ? - LOL

  • Because that's what we called them back then for lack of a better term.

    when the body comes of you can clearly see it is the nitro chassis that has been converted, the post date of this video was mach 08, the "e-revo" was not available in stores until june.

  • Comment removed

  • Who asked you, I was talking to

    tekstyle373....Thanks anyway, NOT ! - LOL

    "This one was not an "E-Revo" I had it about a year before you could buy an E-Revo. It was a brushless converted 3.3 Revo. " - Here ya go, read this dumbass !

  • Bill just let Taz vent. he apparently has the mental capacity of an amoeba if he has to respond like that.

  • Why don't you mind your own fucking business ASSHOLE !!!!!!!

  • This is my vid, it makes it my business, take a xanax or drink a beer or both. You sir seem way to high strung.

  • Thanks Jackass, I really appreciate that coming from such a moron like you ! I am not high strung, but I would like to strung you up high ! - LOL

  • no need to string me up. do to permanent injuries I have sustained and the medications I'm on do to it I'm in a constant state of high!

  • WTF is wrong with you ? You ain't right !

    Okay there buddy, if you say so !

    Better you than me !

  • Ain't right is one way of putting it. I was hit by a car that ran a red light doing 60. My body is a broken shell of what it should be. I live in a constant state of pain, from muscle spasms to joint seizures.

    I know what you were saying, I chose to make light of your death threat, but if you feel the need to see me hanged, please come to south florida and take your best shot, I can't fight back much so it should be relatively easy for you.

  • OKay, now that's not even cool ! I wouldn't wish that on my own worst enemy ! I had no idea that you were hit by a car that ran a red light doing 60mph. Damn man, I'm really so sorry to hear that ! I hope that you are going to be okay ! I wasn't really making any kind of death threats, I was just giving you a blast of shit. Seriouly, I really wish you well and hope that you are okay and that if you ever need anything, just let me know. Take care of yourself !

  • Ya, I'm pretty jacked up but have managed to find a quality of life that is "acceptable" through a loving wife and RC :) Your message you posted on my channel with all the vulgarity kinda set me off a bit, but it's all good. take car.

  • Hey man, I'm sorry for that.....I want to apologize as I had no idea of what had happend to you before I had left that vulgarity on your channel.....so please accept my apology.

  • wow talk about kiss and make up.

  • I don't have time for your piddly liitle comment, so why don't mind your own busines and keep it to yourself next time !

    It was between tekstyle and I anyhow !

  • @taz1175 bet you feel like an asshole

  • Ohhh didnt know whne video was posted, too lazy to look my bad.

  • Comment removed

  • OKys, cool, thanks. :-)

  • That moves like a cat on a hot tin roof! Like it's trying to run and keep all of it's wheels in the air at the same time! X-D Do you have any info as to why it burned ESCs to begin with, and now doesn't? I'd like to know as I'm planning a brushless upgrade to a couple of RC cars, so any tips will be welcome.

    Good vid anyhoo. 5/5

  • The ESC died do to faulty esc. It had intenal failure, the fire started in the middle of the controller. Nothing changed from this video to the next esc I got.

  • Anyone who knocks brushless might be retarted!

  • damn.... the traxxas curse. although the esc wasnt traxxas...

  • MMM v3 and no more smoke!

  • Nitro is not consistent power. The power curve on electric is steeper than gas(nitro). A electric truck will drag your nitro truck all day while you try to get into your power band.

  • Electric all the way baby :P

    I can't wait for electric to get in real cars :-)

  • i can buy a electric car at walmart get somethin diff. even tho the brushless is a monster u just dont hear the sound of a motor runnin

  • Just add a large stereo to get a v8 or v12 sound hehe

  • an electric at walmart?... lmao...

    you definatly can't buy anything worth the money in rc at walmart dude

  • i wasnt talking about the speed or quality i was talkin about the fact that u can get a electric vehicle at walmart unlike nitro

  • oh... i thought you were saying you could get an electric at walmart that was actually worth something.... thats why i laughed...

  • yeah lol toy grade electric RC's at walmart suck.... however a brushless e-revo that doesn't go up in smoke like this one can beat a good portion of nitro RCs... and you don't have to freakin tune it every 3 seconds

  • This one ran really good after the kinks were ironed out, or it realized it was no longer a nitro truck. It was tempermental and ate 4 esc's before it settled down and gave me many hours of bashing fun!

  • Because nitros have maintenance and can be dangerous (not a toy), and walmart doesn't sell BRUSHLESS RC's (not a toy either), and the ones they sell are toys that are not dangerous and are slow and are not repairable

    Anyways how did this come to walmart? How does this remotely relate to the hobby?

  • i was sayin u can get an electirc car at walmart , i didnt say that it would be any good u inplied that. and read the comments

  • brushless is d shit !!

    why did i buy nirto ?

  • SWEET RIDE!!!!!!

  • Dang that must cost a Shitload of money

  • I would soo choose a revo over jato

  • I have a Nitro Revo

    And my old man whants me to get the E-revo How good do they run

  • a nitro revo is fatser than an e-revo. the brushless edition or brushless converted e-revo will be faster than a nitro revo. As far as handling, a revo is a revo!

  • not to mention electric is more of a plug in and rather then hoping it will start, then tune it, then tune it some more, add more gas... then it dies, start it again adjust lsn etc.. lol

  • is this a brussless

  • i bet your esc was an mmm.

  • oh, just saw it was a quark :)

    the mmms all go up in smoke so i thought you had one of them too.

  • I had an MMM in there after the quark the MMM is now in my 1/8 buggy, the revo is sold

  • my MMM runs on a 200+ amp 10,000mah 6cell LIPO and hasnt fried yet, and its a V1, guess im lucky.

    Feigao 9XL, geared 22/54

    all CVD'd and RPM'd

  • That's not a MMM...

  • Correct It was a quark monster pro 125b

  • i´m going to get e-revo or i already order it i get it on:next monday or wednesday

  • your lipo die or somthin??

  • THAT IS ONE IS GOOOOOOD :)

  • NEW TRAXXAS MINI EREVO AND MINI SLAYER EX both brushless

  • thats such a nice truck how much $money did u put in to it?

  • thanks! and way too much...

  • sand and grass is ruff on trucks

  • this video was on a true rc 5s 8000mah lipo.

  • traxxas did it again they made a rtr brushless not brushlessready BRUSHLESS e revo with a mamba

  • Ha, haha!! Serves you right for showing off! lol

  • Who's he showing off to?

    What a dick gloating over someones misfortune

  • thats the fun of this hobbie ;D

    built it.

    run it.

    break it.

    fix it. (again) :)

  • HEy i just bought the e revo but the battery cord wont reach the other cord that gives it power its to short. PLEASE HELP ME

  • go to where you bought the e-revo and get an extension. Mine is a converted revo 3.3 not the rtr e-revo, so I am not to sure about battery issues with the rtr.

  • man my e-revo literally caught on fire today.both batteries exploded =[

  • what happend??

  • I want to see how a large brushless helicopter electric motor would do in a e-revo. It would have no reverse but who cares. Saw a e-maxx done that way thing would go 80 mph crazy stuff.

  • spend that sort of money on rc you should really protect yourself futher and buy the spectrum with telemetry it would show you temps also. great truck btw

  • how much does the e revo cost

  • i think th e-revo is one of the sweetest electric cars ever made coming fomr a s-maxx owner who loves nitro. i really love the stock rims... there friken sexy!! im tryin to get those on my smaxx

  • hey im an s-maxx owner too

  • guy everyone,i just got the e-revo about a week ago and im looking to put a brushless motor and esc system in it anyone have any suggestions on what i should put in it??

  • How about the traxxas one?

  • are you on drugs?

  • you should go with a sidewinder

  • The Revo, E-maxx and any other large vehicle should only be ran with the motors designed like the Novak HV maxx 6.5 or 4.5, the Mamba Monster ESC and motor combo, Neu or Feigao motors. If you use something small like the Traxxas BL or sidewinder it will overheat unless you run two which is a waste.

  • WHATS BRUSHLESS? everyone says brushless... but i dont know what it means.. can some one tell me please?

  • Normal electric motors have small "brushes" or contacts that spin in the center of the motor and periodically contact the metal on the perimeter of the inside casing and long story short gets the motor moving. Brushless motors have NO brushes and work in a totally different way, not 100% sure, go look it up on wikipedia. They are much more effecient as there is no contact going on in the motor and no heat losses due to friction. So they end up being much more powerful from the less friction.

  • brushed means electric goes through the brushes, brushless electric goes through the air. brush is cleaner though

  • That's a nice conversion you have there. Everyone looks factory fitted. Did you eventually get the Mamba Monster?

  • nice i have a revo 3.3

  • the terrian is too rough and sticky for the gearing andor motor choice.you can here it laboring like a DC setup almost.the way you had it set up it sounds like it would be better suited to onroad driving speed runs.

    If the esc could have kept up the pace then soon the motor wouldve heated right up,or thermal shutdown.that esc should have cut itself off before blowing up.maybe it was a capacitor that blew in the esc,rctekno has a motor that might have suited the terrian but they cost alot.

  • The motor is a Neu 1515 1y/s geared 17/38 Mod 1, it should have been fine for offroad and in all previous bash session was, the esc never got over 125 degrees F. It was not laboring at all, wheel spin was an issue do to loose sand, but it was not laboring.

    It was not a failed capacitor, I took the esc apart, it was catastrophic fet failure from the center of the esc. I had bashed this exact setup in sand before with no issues, heat ater 45 mins of running was esc 125, motor 122, batteries 92.

  • You obviously know your stuff, and your right they are good temps. damn I would send that esc back to the manufacturer.

    or start bagging out quark.. im not buying one now and had considered it. Thanks

  • mine did the same i was running in the dunes and on the last jump it looks like someones smokin weed in the car

  • LiPo is very flammable. I dont even own a Hobbyist's Electric and that lipo burns.

  • It is not the lipo that went up, the lipo is still fine and has seen many uses since this day. The Quark Monster pro 125b ESC fried.

  • Hmmm, i'll have to study that part. Im not so familiar with Hobby RC's.

  • i want one

  • Wow very cool. Revo with 5S lipo is extremely

  • Great vid guys! I really enjoy it. Looking for more now... Thanks.

  • traxxas already has an e revo and you can buy it on towerhobbies for about $350

    i want one

  • Its actually about 450 bucks....and its twin titan brushed motors....

  • It is closer to $450 and not available yet. It is Titan powered, not brushless.

  • yeah, 5s lipo in a rusty would be faster, much faster, but not on a vxl. It would fry that as soon as you powered it on. you would need another esc and 5s capable motor.

  • traxxas gave already brang out a e-revo. They have also brang out a traxxas slash which is a short cicuit racer. both are water proof.

  • i think thats tooo! much for an electric

  • cool do you know how much they will be
