It was NOT designed with jumping in mind – that’s not to say you shouldn’t jump it, but be prepared, if you do, it WILL break. The Revo platform is often misunderstood – it’s what I like to call a terrain basher, designed to be driven quickly on uneven ground, and NOT driven roughly on uneven terrain. Thanks to u/PiggyWigglyDeluxe for pointing out my incorrect wording. If you want to extract everything this platform has to offer, read on! If you just want to have fun. There is no "perfect setup", it's all about what YOU want and what YOU like. I highly recommend you experiment on your own - this guide is simply meant to nudge you in the right direction. This guide is intended for people who enjoy upgrading their vehicles as much as I do – keep in mind that most of what is suggested below is purely subjective and my personal preference, formed after extensive research and experimentation. Most of these upgrades make the vehicle objectively "better" but realistically speaking, you don't need any of them. They're great trucks that perform very well out of the box.
#TRAXXAS E REVO 2.0 BATTERIES UPGRADE#
This is my definitive tuning and upgrade guide for the Traxxas 1/16 E-Revo – which applies to both brushed and brushless VXL versions.Ī QUICK DISCLAIMER: I don't mean to scare any prospective owners away from owning one of these little buggers. I've pre ordered this twin charger (but I can change it):īut I'm on a steep learning curve - Am I right in thinking although this charger is 100w total, it is only 50w per side when charging two batteries? BUT that is when on AC power.After spending months seeing people constantly ask what kind of upgrades their 1/16 E-Revos need, what kind of suspension setups people recommend, and seeing how many varied and contradictory answers end up being posted. If you're patient have a look for something from Banggood or Tomtop (China based) If you're on a budget and want simple plug/play maybe go for 2 of these: Able to cope with 1C charging.Ī 50w 5A won't cut it with a 3s (read about ohms law) You'd be flat out even at a rate of only 4A and it will pop in no time You want either 2 chargers (one for each) or a decent twin.Īlso you want a minimum of 80w 5A if you want it to last a fair while. In my view it's only worth bothering with electric if you can charge both batteries simultaneously and not one after the other. I wouldn't say 1C charging (1hr) is exactly fast. Many many thanks in advance for all your help. Maybe a charger from Hobbyking European warehouse might be the way to go? I live in Ireland so everything will need posting there.
I plan on trying to really look after the health of the batteries as a rule so not interested in fast charging, but the rest of charger options, I don't know what I'm looking for to be honest! Any help would be much appreciated. My question today is this: If I get these batteries can anyone recommend a decent quality charger for them? I'm a little lost as to what I'm looking for. Weight: 442g (including wire, plug & case) Regarding batteries, I've narrowed down my choice to these: So I now think I'll get the Revo from Wheelspin or Modelsport and get batteries and charger from Hobbyking. Thought this was going to be easier but for the last few weeks I've been trying to educate myself on Lipo's.Īnyway with this in mind I thought it would be easier to go with Traxxas batteries and charger and originally looked at a package deal from Wheelspin but as they don't have the 5000mah Traxxas batteries in stock (currently trying to offer Traxxas 4000mah) and from what I've read I can get better value Lipos if I go aftermarket, I've tried to educate myself on Lipo's. So after much deliberation I'm going electric. I've owned a nitro revo but not had it out for years due to getting Nitro fuel in Ireland is nearly impossible. I'm super excited as I'm about to purchase a new E-Revo 2.0.
I'm new to this site and this is my first post.
