Different Pictures?

[filmmaker]

I was wondering..
To all you Traxxas lovers looking to get your hands on these new little gems, is there any pictures of these trucks that could help answer any questions you may have?
I could take some specific pictures, just let me know and I'll see what I could do for you guys.. :D

[Chris York]

hay could you get a pic of it next to a 1/10 erevo or slash or emaxx just for size comparison.
thanks.

[Ricky-Bobby]

he has a pic of it next to the e-revo in his and his only official picture thread...

[TLTRyan]

I would like to see some pics of the stock wheels and tires next to some touring car wheels and tires. Overall height looks to be pretty close.

[lowhombre]

i think these little gems are a step backwards for traxxas, these are for the guys who cant run with the big dawgs......................

[Slasher]

these are for the guys who cant run with the big dawgs......................

I think it's for the guys who choose to run something different. If you notice, there are many people on this forum that have 1/10 and even 1/8 scale that want to try something new.

But who's to say that mini's are any less "manly" or "grown-up" than 10th or 8th?
I could argue that the guys that sneer at the mini's are too wimpy to try something that can easily go faster and too uncoordinated to work on something that's closer (more compact) than 1/8.
All you gotta do with the "big dawgs" is place the part and turn a screw. Sometimes things don't fit with the mini's and it requires a little ingenuity. My mini road car has several example of that.

:eek: didnt meant to offend anyone. my apology.

[Slasher]

No offense. Just showing another side of it.
You didnt say you didn't like them... (you still called them gems) My post was dedicated to any one that doesn't.

[axlebolt]

How about a picture of your ego?
Do you have enough megapixels for that?

whats wrong about his offer? are you jealous you don't have any to show?

no doubt its a cool toy, and right now filmmaker has one and you don't. :lol:

[ProcessRacing]

My question is if filmmaker has one, can't anyone get one? Or did he pre-order special etc.

I would like pictures of the underside and axle carrier area with the wheels off.

[46Rustler]

I would like to see pictures of all of the sides of the packaging (box). I did see the one of the front of the box you posted eariler, but it would be nice to be able to compare it to the Slash VXL packaging, like traxxas does.

[LastFrontier27]

Please don't post any more pictures. At least with the body on. The LEAST you could do is get some action shots. Is this just not happening out of laziness? Last time you said you where filming and the motor blew on you. RIGHT... we believe you!

Hey filmmaker this is what I would like to know....If you could please take the cover off of the receiver box and measure the length width and depth. A picture would be nice too. I have two different radios in mind and would like to know which receiver would fit.
Thanks in advance,

Yeah, inch sure isn't much plus looks like the shocks are fairly heavily preloaded already too. Will need stiffer rate springs it seems.

[Chris York]

and thats why im getting the mini erevo. it will probally and hopefully have about twice the GC (ground clearance if ya didnt know) with the bigger tires and different suspension.

Thanks for the receiver box info.
Just measured my Tactic receiver from my UL1 and it will fit. Best of all this is a 2.4 gig radio with NO antaenna on the receiver. Oh and another good feature, the tx/rx combo is only $79.00

I've thught of doing the same, the recievers are only 25bucks, I think :unsure:

[healthyfatboy]

I would be worried about the receiver having no antenna. You need a certain antenna length to accomodate certain frequencies and I know 2.4GHz needs a specific length to work well at a distance. Do you get much range with that radio?

I have the tactic radio in a few cars it works great no problems at all feels just the same as my spektrum 3.0 system.... Tower now sells the tactic radio also rebadged as a tower hobbies rado now also.

[Chris York]

hay ive got another question, can you just measure the wheelbase and width of the body post? i found an old yellow hummer body off and old nikko RC car that i think might fit. thanks.

[vashon10]

Thanks alot for the pics , but i was hoping it would have a bit better ground clearAnce

I wonder how it will hold up on grass. I've never owned a model of that scale. We all know how much grass can affect performance (speed, temps) with Stampede/Rustler, it's not drastic, but noticable.

As far as you can see and that is even in the enclosed, waterproof receiver box of my stampede.

I really like the Slash because it looks scale, but the Erevo will handle a little better I would think..

Cool, a request thread. Please send your 1/16 Slash to 71Gearhead, Starkville Mississippi 39759. Thanks.

[candy76man]

hey filmmaker, are the pivot ball caps threaded in like the full size revo?....in the picture it doesn't look like there are any threads? Almost looks like a cap that just clips on which would mean you can't adjust out any slop.

[revo_maniack]

what about travel wise? and wouldnt the revo style 1/16 scale be more travel? thanks!

I'm referring to the pivot ball caps, not the pivot balls. At any rate on closer inspection I can see that the caps snap in...too bad as that means you can't eliminate slop in the suspension.:( ...and I hate slop<_<

Next to my Rusty
http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww39/filmmaker2009/003-2.jpg

Hmm - I was hoping it'd be closer in size to the Rustler. I'm seriously considering getting the 1/16 E-Revo, but I didn't realize it was so much smaller than the Rustler, unless the Revo is a bit bigger than the Slash?

mini revo should be the same chassis, a arms and everything....it will just have the taller wider wheels.

Actually the mini E revo is slightly smaller than the slash the slash uses different A arms on the rear that make the wheel base longer...look at the specs for both on the site the wheel base is shorter on the E Revo.

The mini erevo has longer arms with wider tires.. 2" wider!

[PhotoPunk]

i think these little gems are a step backwards for traxxas, these are for the guys who cant run with the big dawgs......................


The 'big dawgs'...?...wow.


How much ya wanna bet that given the same lipo voltage, the 1/16th erevo will out excellerate the full size brusheless erevo...?

.

[TheOMan]

Interesting. Does Traxxas make any electric off road models that are 4wd a bit bigger than the 1/16s? About the size of the Rustler/Bandit?

[binaryd]

Technically a 4wd version of a Rustler or Bandit would no longer be a Stadium Truck or 2wd Buggy. E-Revo is a 1/10 scale electric monster truck with 4wd, so is E-Maxx, 4wd changes its classification. So if you wanted a scale version of a Rustler that was 4wd then the E-Revo is close as its 1/10 and then the E-Maxx as its 1/10 just like the Rustler. But a stadium truck like the Rustler is normally 2wd.

[Seattle Slew]

Electric Slayer might be your size

I would love a vehicle like that. 4WD but with the agility of a smaller 1/10.:wub:
