Meant 1/16*****

Well just got back from RCX Expo 2009 and what a blast seeing new rc stuff and racing. On this thread I am mainly focusing on the 1/16 Traxxas and other Traxxas stuff. Some of the videos were taken with my camera video and not the greatest but you can see what the E-Revo can take on those jumps. I am sold and definitely going to pick one up for when I am not racing on road, I can just have some off road fun.

Enjoy!!

did the stock erevo come wit metal shock bodies?

**SLASHPEDE** · 04-19-2009 10:21 PM

woah lots of pics, good job on those. looks like a really good truck and small

**espresso1967** · 04-19-2009 10:24 PM

What you see is what you get. The only kit hopped up was the slash 1/16 and can assume that those hop ups would look the same on the e-revo.

Looks like you did your homework! Thanks. I saw some pre-show on the live video on the rcx site.

**FyrFytr998** · 04-19-2009 10:54 PM

Anyone else notice the Slash had the upgrades and the Revo was bone stock?

**NCSDRacing** · 04-19-2009 10:58 PM

Thanks for the pics/videos.

Now after seeing both the Slash and the E-Revo, what one did you like best?

**espresso1967** · 04-19-2009 10:59 PM

e-revo just by it's performance on the track. The slash was not being jumped like the e-revo for some reason?

**FyrFytr998** · 04-19-2009 11:00 PM

That mini Revo looked like a little missle coming off those jumps.

**espresso1967** · 04-19-2009 11:02 PM

YUP very impressed for a small scale. Traxxas done it again!!

I have to say that Traxxas was the big dog at RCX. Center stage, biggest truck on site. Plus they had the full scale slash.

**Dialed_in** · 04-19-2009 11:10 PM

Nice pics and thanks for posting them. I have been wondering what the underneath of the chassis looks like. Is it just me or could it use a little more servo/steering protection?

**FyrFytr998** · 04-19-2009 11:10 PM

By the way. Thanks for all the videos and pics. Definitely getting the mini Revo now.

Good thing this all went down. I was all set to throw money at a full size electric and scrap Nitro, but the 1/16th will be nice for days that I'm hating my Nitro Revo. OS engines have a way of making you forget about tuning problems though, lol. So I'll do both for now.

Who knows, if I love the mini enough I might just scrap the Nitro anyways and get the mini slash to go with it.

**Seattle Slew** · 04-19-2009 11:53 PM

WOW - great pictures and video
Traxxas sure puts on a great show - i wish i could have been there.
I can't wait to add both of those cars to my collection, this summer is going to be fun
thanks for the posting

**sellinchevs** · 04-20-2009 01:35 AM

I had to fight off the urge not to stick one or two of those trucks in a sack and head for the door today!!! I'm not a thief, but I could have turned to a life of crime after checking both those killer little trucks out! Flat bad... Nobody else came close there today, just out of curiosity, anybody see HPI there?

**Kit Kat 1407** · 04-20-2009 01:52 AM

Wow they really took a beating! I am also now sold to the mini revo. I will buy it when the price goes down

**balsa n glue** · 04-20-2009 08:43 AM

Did Traxxas have anything else new?

**espresso1967** · 04-20-2009 09:56 AM

I took pics of the entire spot they were in and nothing that stood out new other than the 1/16 scale revo/slash.

That blue body for the mini erevo looks sick!

**444Platrevo** · 04-20-2009 11:03 AM

Nice pictures, lots of good stuff.

**josh7owens** · 04-20-2009 12:16 PM

**rutsy-bob** · 04-20-2009 12:54 PM

**espresso1967** · 04-20-2009 01:05 PM

I didn't ask, but maybe someone on here that was at the show may have some info?

**tonkajeep34** · 04-20-2009 02:16 PM

ya i noticed that the erevo landed much better and could go off that huge ramp. the mini slash landed kinda hard and wouldnt be as good as a basher i think.

**round** · 04-20-2009 03:42 PM

If you are not a Traxxas employee they should send you a free e revo mini for getting everyone so pumped up! Can't wait for my 2!!!!!!!!

**Chris York** · 04-20-2009 03:48 PM

thats not fair to the rest of us though.

**REVOKID123** · 04-20-2009 03:59 PM

I AM GETTING ONE after waching there is nothing i meanNOTHING that will change my mind! thanks for the vids and pics

**espresso1967** · 04-20-2009 10:29 PM

You hear that Traxxas. I just made a few sales without trying and should get an advance kit for my hard work

**jcm-maxx** · 04-21-2009 03:44 PM

Did they mention what battery(ies) the 1/16 e-revo was running in those videos?

**espresso1967** · 04-21-2009 05:45 PM

Sorry I did not get that info. Maybe one of the admins on here can be contacted to find out what they were running at the track.

I saw on another thread that the batteries are 1200mah.

**espresso1967** · 04-26-2009 10:37 PM

Yes 1200mah according to Traxxas rep at the show.

**filmmaker** · 04-26-2009 10:49 PM

**espresso1967** · 04-27-2009 05:21 PM

np was nice to get out and take the kids to the show so I was able to kill two birds with one stone. Kids have fun and the board members get some nice pics of a show that not everyone could make. I'll do it again next year as I did the prevouse year.

Cheers
