    E-Revo Brushless Kawasaki Edition!

    Hey guys!
    Currently i live in Norway and for about a year or two, i have owned a Cen Genesis 7.7 which is a nitro truck. But i kinda want a new truck. So ive finally bought an E-Revo Brushless Kawasaki Edition!. And i can't wait to get it. Because i live in Norway it will take some time for the truck to get here.

    I was just wondering if that the truck is all the same? Is it just the body which is painted with a Kawasaki theme ?

    Thanx (p.s excuse ny bad english )

    Espen

    There is no Kawasaki theme that I know of- did you buy the truck new or used, or with some kind of aftermarket shell?

    Do you have a link to the store you bought it from?

    I would guess it's just the shell that has a special paint job, everything else should be the same as a normal BL erevo...

    Heh, thats interesting.

    Looks like it might be some kind of exclusive deal with traxxas as it isnt listed on the main traxxas website. I wonder if any of the traxxas employees can shed any light? ( Kinda like the Ken Block version which has a custom painted shell and anodized wheel hexes/ nuts ).

    yea there kawa versions all over. The summit even has one. I think the differences are the painted body - green dyed bead locks and the green anodized wheel hubs left over fron Ken Blocks monster e-revo

    I have had my Kawasaki Edition Summit for a week now and a buddy has had his Summit for a few years now, the only difference between the two are stickers and colors. I also have a erevo bl and have seen pics of the Kawasaki Edition erevo bl, itseems to also be the same other than the body and decals. I know these bodies look good! I even like the rally vxl K.E.!!

    For starters I advise you to read the manual well. Then read the AOD faq and as mentioned order castle link and some 2s lipos

    Look no further:

    Erevo 101:
    EREVO FAQ

    Lipo, LVC, Brushless & Battery charger/charging guides & purchasing links:
    TUTORIALS

    Refer to this to setup the Mamba Monster ( MMM ) esc for maximum performance:
    CASTLE LINK GUIDE

    Refer to this to find parts, upgrades, batts & chargers etc:
    USEFUL LINKS


    And direct from CastleCreations ( the esc manufacturers ):
    MMM FAQ

    Driver's ED Manual

    LED warning light meanings


    Just download the castlelink software, buy a castlelink or fieldlink ( ~$20 ), read the castlelink guide and then connect up your esc to check the settings on the esc. Pay close attention to the advisory on the esc firmware versions ( anything past v1.24 can cause throttle glitches ).

    *I am updating the guide shortly to be more upto date*

    Sry for being noobish, does this mean i am forced to program the ESC to run on lipo or is this programing only to get the Low Voltage Cutoff to work?

    I have ordered fieldlink now, but it will take about 7 days til i have it, just wondering if i can run lipo meanwhile as long as i pay attention to the voltage (i have a lipo checker in hand so that is no problem)
