I really want to get into the rc hobby. I had a summer job and have money saved up. This is looking like a good option. For 290$, i think im going to get it. It looks so awesome and goes fast
It can take a beating if your careful like on mine i was stupid and ran it into a mailbox and broke the front plate off but no big deal replaced it for like 5 bucks
It would be hard to give you a estimate because it all depends on what equipment you choose to run. But you would probably be better off buying the rustler vxl because you'll probably actually save money buying the vxl.
I'm thinking about buying a traxxas rustler and was wonder how much it's gunn a cost me to upgrade it to brushless. Can anyone help me out with an estimate? thanks
I love how when we fly our planes and chopers...we speed up the video...and when we film our cars....we slow it down. either way, lots going on in our brains in a short amount of time. keep RCin'
just got my erevo. put a 2c in it. went to some local dirt bike ramps. couldnt get it to go straight on a stock battery lol. im new to rc's n now officially respect racers. lol
@lmaorc take body off and wd40 all exposed metal parts, (don't forget the gears once in awhile, removing cover is easy). It's totally waterproof so washing in sink/shower is fine. Also they recommend cutting holes in the tires to vent water, don't know how necessary it is though I did it.
@macuttakey yes u have to get a lipo charger as well if u charge it with a regular charger it will mess it up u can get a passport charger for like 70$ its a pretty good charger for the money
@macuttakey just plug in the lipo in batteryplug and choose lipo in the esc menu on the car :D (u need to select lipo in esc menu because of the automatic voltage cutout when the lipo is empty.. or something... i only drive 3s lipo in paralell.... then i can drive to im bored and goes home... buy 4 lipo and a imax b6 from ebay.. cheap and u can drive all day long because the short chargingtime and long lasting batteryes on the car with dual batterys at 11 volt 3s 25c 1100mah
omg lolz i took my mini e revo to badlands SC and i beat alot of people it is stock but a pro came out and whooped us lolz he had a losi 8 my cousin got to drive it thats one of the best trips ive ever been on... :)
@0012554 if i had this car but 1/10 brushless edition i would totally redo it and make it a mod truggy and use it alot in nationals and race my stock slash and brushless e firestorm mod
@ProductionsNolimits yeah, but i live in the city, so its hard for me 2 really get into the rc hobby, but in a couple of months, i hope to be ordering a new mini e revo, cuz my old one got stolen by some ass-hole = (
@0012554 lol i live in city and i got slash, stampede, a hpi e firestorm brushless 10.5t and i head down to blue springs for fastlane raceway. Might be going tomorrow.
I love your video! I just bought a revell 4x4 buggy and I want to try it in sand. Could you gime me some tips how to protect it from the sand? It runs with electricity. I'm new in this rc car world :)
Yo I got a erevo vxl it keeps flipping forward when I jump it so can u tell me war to so and when I jump hit I give it alot of gas still flips forward
with that much power 4wd becomes a huge advantage. Not you won't slide with 4wd, but you can hold much more speed and even accelerate through it in the curves.
great video, thank you. l've never had the chance to find a track i can run it on, it was fun watching stock merv on the track. I'm down to 19T pinion because of over heating, can't seem to find heat sink or fan made to fit mini revo esc (that's in stock) I got 60wt shock oil, 50 diff fluid, black springs so far.
Nice driving skills!!! the driver mod is the best one you can make. Best off road track mini revo video on youtube that I have seen. What is the song playing in the video?
parallel connection= longer run times, but no increase in voltage, and therefore, no speed. Buyer beware: if you buy the brushed version, connecting two batts in series will kill the titan 380 motor if you continuously overheat it. However, I did it anyway and just keep an eye on the motor. I have been running it this way for almost two months and have had no failures, so it can be done on the much less expensive e-revo brushed rtr (189.00 usd at tower)
I love mine! DONT GET 2 NICKEL METAL BATTERIES.... its a waste of time... you can get a lipo 3s 25c battery that makes it go 56 mph with street tires.... and the nickel metal (stock) batteries take 12 hours to charge unless you buy a charger for 70-100$. Which holds one battery... so just get run one lipo battery that fits your car and get a charger for it for 65 bucks. It takes 45 minutes to charge a 1500mAh battery on 2amp. This lil truck screams! way faster than my dog lmfao. enjoy
ust thought i'd mention i am selling 2 of these, 1 new 1 just about used ( round a car park a few times,) new 230, "used" 210. both come with box all manuals n paperwork and with extra NiMH battery and series connecter for the 50+ speed. bare in mind ebay, amazon are selling for 275, GRAB A BARGAIN!! before theyre gone. mesage me on here or lewilew@hotmail couk VELINEON BRUSHLESS BTW, NONE OF THAT BRUSHED CRAP! LOL UK only for the moment, but im sure i can sort something out outside uk thanks
This thing is so fast the tires come off the rims if u run double batts in series! Im also gettibg a roll cage and ptoline came out with beadlock tires so no more gluing
I am looking for more affordable lipos for my E Revo VXL as well as my Rustler VXL. Can you tell me what kind of plugs come with the Zippy batteries? I am using a Hyperion balance charger and need to know if I will need an adapter for the balance plug. I also would like to know how hard it was to solder the Traxxas plugs onto the wires.
Great vid. also could some one help me with something. Im travailing up the west coast of america and what to go to some track. could some one give a list of all the ones you know of.
does anybody know the charge time for the stock batteries right out of the box with the stock charger right out of the box? I just wondered if I should invest in a faster charger from the hobby shop.
strengthoftenmen, if u get another battery, and the series parallel connector, then u can get about 20-30 mins, of run time, it depends on how u drive it though, long blasts of trottle will shorten the life quicker.
the y-harness will allow for 50+ mph, but not as much run time, it's ur dicision.
any way, you'll have to switch the pinion gear for dual-battery operation, im not entirly sure if u have to do this for more run time, just look in the manual. im also getting this too, soon!!!
@0012554 You don't need to change gears with a parallel connection. Also I wouldn't suggest a pair of 2s lipos on series connection, as that's more voltage than it's rated for. Some have done it, but you void the warranty and I doubt it would take long to fry something.
@bdabeast05 SERIES will double the SPEED(making it go 50+) but no double run time and PARALLEL will allow for the double RUN TIME (about 20-25 min depends on how u drive) but no double speed.
Great video! Please can I ask you guys a question. I will be getting this truck in a weeks time and was wanting to know what would be a happy medium for battery set ups. I would prefer to have a longer run time 30/40mins (if possible) with less power so that I don't damage the truck. What set up would you recommend to achieve this?
Would be great if anyone replied. Many thanks and have fun :)

strengthoftenmen, if u get another battery, and the series parallel connector, then u can get about 20-30 mins, of run time, it depends on how u drive it though, long blasts of trottle will shorten the life quicker.
the y-harness will allow for 50+ mph, but not as much run time, it's ur dicision.
any way, you'll have to switch the pinion gear for dual-battery operation, im not entirly sure if u have to do this for more run time, just look in the manual. im also getting this too, soon!!!

@0012554 You don't need to change gears with a parallel connection. Also I wouldn't suggest a pair of 2s lipos on series connection, as that's more voltage than it's rated for. Some have done it, but you void the warranty and I doubt it would take long to fry something.

What batteries would u suggests for me to use, cuz i would not like to fry something

If you don't want to fry anything I whould suggest using 2X 7.2 v nimh bateries in parallel or even 2X 2s lipos in PARALLEL.
When running them like this, the mah is going to get doubled, not the volts!(you will get longer run times)

@0012554 wait so whats the difference between a parralel and series connector?

@bdabeast05 SERIES will double the SPEED(making it go 50+) but no double run time and PARALLEL will allow for the double RUN TIME (about 20-25 min depends on how u drive) but no double speed.
parallel=run time
series=speed

Great video! Please can I ask you guys a question. I will be getting this truck in a weeks time and was wanting to know what would be a happy medium for battery set ups. I would prefer to have a longer run time 30/40mins (if possible) with less power so that I don't damage the truck. What set up would you recommend to achieve this?
Would be great if anyone replied. Many thanks and have fun :)
