Exclusive Traxxas Water-Sealed Electronics!

E-Revo is next in the line of Traxxas models that has water-sealed electronics. This exclusive Traxxas-only innovation opens the door for driving fun in water, mud, snow, and other wet conditions that stop others dead in their tracks. The patent-pending water-sealed receiver box allows the installation of your own radio system without losing the water-sealing properties.

 

Dual Titan 550 Motors with 16.8-Volt Power System

E-Revo comes Ready-To-Race with 16.8 volt power capacity in the proven EVX-2 power system. Dual Titan 550 motors deliver on-demand torque for wheels-up launches and top speeds over 30mph on two 7-cell NiMH battery packs. The EVX-2 is equipped with our exclusive Training Mode feature that limits full-throttle power to 50%. In Training Mode, you can let friends who have never driven a radio controlled model try their hand with a E-Revo, worry-free. Three drive profiles, low voltage detection, thermal shutdown protection, gold-plated connectors, and incredibly low resistance are all features you might expect to only be available on an expensive replacement ESC. Fully waterproof electronics are a Traxxas exclusive that opens the door to new driving adventures on rain-soaked terrain.

Truly Brushless Ready

Brushless fans unite! E-Revo is the platform you have been waiting for. For other companies, brushless ready means just making some nominal provisions for battery and motor installation and letting the aftermarket develop the upgrades necessary to make it survive. Not Traxxas. We heard the call for more power so E-Revo was tested tough for durability with brutal 6S LiPo power and intense custom-wound brushless motors. For the uninitiated, this extreme 50+mph motor and battery combination is ordinarily a predictable recipe for a box full of twisted and mangled parts. However, E-Revo's driveline has been engineered to endure the kind of horsepower and punishment that's possible with today's motor and battery technology. A separate motor plate was engineered for clean, low-slung single motor installation.

 

 

 

 

Futuristic Chassis Design

Engineered by Traxxas, the ground-breaking molded E-Revo chassis sets a new benchmark for electric monster truck looks and performance. The E-Revo chassis combines art and function to deliver a lightweight, integrated, and rigid platform that maximizes strength and reduces weight. Looking forward, the chassis was designed to accommodate new battery technologies and for the extreme speeds and torque of brushless power systems. By combining the battery compartments with the chassis design, the battery packs can sit low and close to the center of the truck, plus valuable chassis surface is freed up to accommodate the electronics for a clean layout. This keeps the center of gravity (CG) as low as possible and increases side-to-side agility by keeping most of the weight close to the center.

 

Battery Compartment Vents

Resembling the exhaust ducts of a turbine powered jet, the futuristic battery vents are securely mounted on the chassis. In addition to offering entrance and exit cooling, the oversized openings incorporate latches that insert into the battery door clasps. The battery compartment vents symbolize the sleek and high-tech image that places E-Revo in a class of its own.

 

 

Quick Release Battery Doors

The futuristic chassis design incorporates enclosed battery compartments into the sides of the chassis for an ultra-clean look even with the battery packs installed. Innovative quick release battery doors mount directly to the chassis, so there are no clips or hold downs to lose during battery swaps. The doors pivot down using a hinged design and dual clasps secure the tops of the battery doors for impact-proof security. To open the battery doors depress the latches and pull on the battery door tabs. To close the doors simply press on the door until the latches snap into place.

 

Adjustable Battery Compartments

Keyed, adjustable L-braces located inside the battery compartments allow the battery packs to be positioned in multiple incremental positions from front to rear for precise weight bias tuning. A top mounted, spring loaded clip holds battery packs securely at the lowest point to keep the CG as low as possible.

Dual-Servo Steering System

E-Revo takes a total system approach to eliminating the slow, mushy steering response typical on other monster trucks. It begins with power. The built in BEC harnesses up to 16.8-volts of power and delivers a consistent 6-volts of authoritative power to the twin digital high-torque steering servos.

 

 

Leading The Way

There is no other electric monster truck like E-Revo. It embodies the highest level of creativity in design and engineering skill to create the absolute best in monster truck performance. E-Revo is the benchmark that could only come from Traxxas, the leaders in innovation and design.

The all-new Traxxas TQi radio system arrives with a full compliment of tuning features; long-range, high-output, 2.4GHz signal, and proven Traxxas reliability for rock-solid performance. It's so advanced; it doesn't even need an external antenna. However, the most important new feature may already be in your pocket. The TQi can be equipped with an optional Docking Base that turns your iPhone or iPod touch into a powerful tuning tool for your Traxxas model. The full-color display combines with the Traxxas Link App to deliver an intuitive, high-definition, full-color graphical user interface that unlocks the mysteries of optimizing your radio system for ultimate vehicle control.

 

5-channel Micro Receiver with Fail-Safe Security

The TQi 2.4GHz micro receiver fits easily into any vehicle, and features dual channel-1 outputs for easy installation in vehicles with dual steering servos no Y-harness necessary! The integrated LINK button makes it fast and easy to bind the receiver, and the two-color LED indicates power-on and bind status for fool-proof control and convenience. Traxxas Link Model Memory allows the receiver to recognize up to thirty TQi 2.4Ghz Traxxas Link enabled transmitters just switch on and drive. In the event of signal loss due to an accidental switch-off or depleted batteries, the receiver will automatically return the throttle to neutral and hold the last commanded steering position. The Fail Safe programming is built-in and does not need to be set or activated. Three telemetry ports are incorporated in the 5-channel receiver to allow real-time data to be transmitted from your Traxxas model to the TQi transmitter.

 

EVX-2 Waterproof Electronic Speed Control

The EVX-2 delivers an incredible 16-plus volts, from two battery packs, making 16.8-volt, twin-motor setups more powerful than ever! Designed by Traxxas, the EVX-2 features a completely waterproof design, three drive profiles, LiPo, NiCad, and NiMH compatible with two-stage low-voltage detection, Thermal Shutdown Protection, and gold-plated high-current battery connectors.

The EVX-2 is manufactured by Traxxas to ensure the highest level of quality and support.

 

Traxxas High-Current Connectors

The EVX-2 electronic speed control comes equipped with two new Traxxas High-Current Connectors. Designed to handle high-current applications, Traxxas Connectors effortlessly funnel the dual battery's total power to the electronics keeping things running cool and at full capacity.

 

Twin Titan 550 Motors

Titan 550 motors feature a 30% longer motor armature than a standard 540 size motor for monster big block torque. An internal fan helps keep the motor running at optimal temperatures for maximum power.
 

 

Integrated Power System

Electric power was not an afterthought on E-Revo. From the start, the chassis tightly incorporated the power system and waterproof electronics into the design. The integrated battery compartments position the weight of the batteries as low and as close to the centerline of the chassis as possible. E-Revo’s low center of gravity and balanced weight distribution yields the best handling Revo platform ever.
 

Sealed Watertight Receiver Box

E-Revo’s receiver is fully enclosed for protection from the elements. The antenna and servo wires route neatly through a special watertight seal, and a custom blue O-ring seals the receiver box to protect the receiver from water. The receiver can be removed for service and aftermarket receivers can be installed without losing the sealing properties of the box. Patent pending.

 

Dual Digital High-Torque Waterproof Steering Servos

Waterproof digital steering servos (#2075) use O-ring seals to keep the fun going when things get wet. Twin digital high-torque servos provide the muscle to drive a single heavy-duty servo saver. Twin servos are lighter and more compact than a single large servo, and together they deliver unmatched monster steering response. The servo saver rides on ball bearings to keep the steering response smooth and precise.

 

Power For Today And Beyond

E-Revo’s battery compartments are scaleable for today’s batteries and new generations of batteries to come. A clever internal stop is adjustable for battery length while an innovative leaf spring holds the battery pack secure.
