Bashin Revo 3.3, New Slayer Pro 4x4 3.3, 2011 Trenton track

[PuhJay69] This week I got my new Traxxas Slayer Pro 4x4 with 3.3 motor, 2.4 ghz, wider/longer than previous... Same chassis/drivetrain as the Revo 3.3 minus the reverse! Broke in the engine, and went out the race track...

Troy had his Revo 3.3 out, so I shot video of it, and a little of my Slayer due to the EZ-start SUCKING! lol got to change to pullstart!

VERDICT:
SLAYER PRO IS Faster than the Revo 3.3, but it must be in the gearing or tire size....
REVO IS a better basher over the bigger bumps...

EZ-Start motor brush problem since first tank!

"Special thanks to Roger and Ian Lafferty for allowing fellow RC enthusiasts to enjoy their property and short course track. The track inhabits the former Rhino Paintball park property @ 130 Experimental Farm Rd. Vehicle access is between the house and barn. Follow the roadway to the track."

@austincity1234... The revo is a monster truck. Fyi if it was a cross between a monster truck and a truggy it would be a muggy.

[puhjay69]

@Feblll Now that I own a 1/8 Buggy and 1/10 Truggy, I know the Revo 3.3 is nowhere close to either of them... I feel like the Revo can fool people, even me by having the potential to look like a truggy/muggy.... but no real competition qualities.... Thanks for your Post, my views have changed since my last.....

[Austincity1234]

can someone clear this up is the revo a monster truck or a truggy?!?!?!?!?

[puhjay69]

@Austincity1234 Out of the box I'd say it's a cross between a monster truck and truggy. But if you changed the tires and wheels to truggy ones and sway bars makes it much closer to a truggy... One big difference is power, Unless you get the Mamba E-Revo the Nitro 3.3 Revo is seriously underpowered compared to a big block Nitro truggy with one speed tranny's...

lol the skayer is faster becuase its weight. the revo has a couple pounds over it, and with small blocks, that means alot. just from my personal viewers opinion, how does the slash handle tracks as opposed to the revo? you'd think the wider wheelbase of the revo would raise it in turning ability, but the slashes low CG would help as well..lol..whats your opinions?

[puhjay69]

@insanity0x1 True the Revo has 2 lbs on the Slayer, and the Slayer is approx 3 lbs over the Slash 4x4... All 3 drive completely different, The Revo is great over high speed small jumps/bumps... The Slash 4x4 Bounces all over the place on a bumpy track, but does corner the best out of all 3 with the right suspension settings! The Revo has trouble with tight turns, a Spool rear diff is the fix for loose surfaces... The Slayer pro is a happy medium, jumps and turns well...

[Offroad203]

I too did a FOC. Never had a problem with it, just never used. If you dont use it, throw it the hell out. Guy code...
