E Revo 2.0 One Year Review

[@tsenif]

Because of your detailed videos & review of the E-REVO 2.0, I've purchased it. I've had it for a little over a week now & it is so freaking fun.

[@outsourcedrc]

Yeah it is!

[@kanewallis5697]

All the youtubers hate on this thing but you are the only one who sees what I see in the e revo 2.0

[@RCPropaganda]

You should see what I think of mine and what I have put mine through. Its a solid rig.

[@jamesstubbs8954]

That's because they are Arrma fanboys who are pissed that Traxxas took away the copycat Nero and tbh the Nero broke rod ends all the time too plenty of videos online showing it. I wouldn't own an Arrma I think they are ugly by design and like the guy in the video said there's nothing an Arrma can do that the E Revo 2 can't... oh wait, there is one thing Arrma can do that the E Revo 2 can't and that is catching on fire after running hard!

Thank you. Based on your review I went ahead and bought this at Hobbytown. My son and I have had a blast with it.

[@outsourcedrc]

I'm glad you are enjoying it!

[@justminifigs]

I just bought one today...but i made sure i watched your videos on e-revo and rustler before i bought it. It was either an e-revo or a rustler..and i was standing in the store looking at both side by side, and i thought, go big or go home, haha. So e-revo it was. Ive owned a rustler before but sold it for financial reasons, not because it sucked but... So glad i bought an e-revo this time. Only ran it 20 mins on training mode but already happy with it. Definitely shows you love your e-revo and glad to have found your channel. Thanks! Keep it up! SUBD

[@outsourcedrc]

Its an awesome RC! you are going to love it. Thanks so much for the Sub

I am subbed man. I just bought my first e Revo, and all I can say is wow so far!!! I have only owned 110 models. This scale really opened up my eyes. I feel the same way. If I only had one truck to pick from so far would be the e Revo. I am looking at talion....thank you for your video on the straps for the rear shocks! I'm going to post a video on a quick fix until I get to the store I'm going to show what I did go bash it and see if it held up and given after video with you mentioned in the video and description.

[@outsourcedrc]

Awesome!

[@chadstoudt2580]

My e revo 2.0 didn't hold well at all. I mainly just do big jumps and its just not meant for it. My tires lasted about 2 weeks and I've broken just about every other part. Me and 2 of my buddies all of e revos and we all had the same issues. I sold it for the arrma kraton and I couldn't be happier with that platform. The handling and durability has been amazing. I hope this helps someone not make the same mistake I did.

[@chadstoudt2580]

In the end buy what brings you the biggest smile, for me it was the kraton.

[@chriseberhardy7873]

I just bought a used erevo.has had some small updates. I think once you replace some of the rods and little things like that with better parts. It will be just maintaining it. That is like anything else you would buy and plan on having for any length of time. Thanks for the review. And yes you have to have something more then just a few weeks to do it properly.

[@machinemant4]

Out of all the RC s ive reviewed i also agree that the E REVO 2.0 is handsdown the absolute best machine on the market nowdays period !!!

[@FullOnRC]

This truck has been on my radar for a while, but peoples opinions on the suspension puts me off. You definitely sell it to me with this review.

[@outsourcedrc]

Just get the limiting straps and rear brace and it will be fine.

[@codenamethecleaner7519]

Depends how you bash essentially. I like to go as far high and fast as I possibly can so it didnt hold up for me at all and I did all the mods I could.

[@chadstoudt2580]

If you want to do big jumps I would recommend the kraton. I had the e revo 2.0 and nothing on that car held up to big jumps. I've blown the transmission, broken a arms, tie rods, push rods, drive shafts, bent lots of axles, rear wing mount. The kraton is much more solid platform with a few chassis upgrades.

The new revos come with metal driveshafts and the new beefed up tie rods! I’m fine with replacing the plastic spur gear with metal and getting some servos when mine burn up, not very expensive and after that should last forever

[@scottstorey6497]

I just bought a used e-revo, well it was at the Traxxas retail store and they said it was real dirty and nowadays lot of the store guys worked on it and replaced a lot of parts, I was going to buy a new one and one of the guys went to the back and brought this rebuilt one to me and said they would sell it to me for about 1/2 of what a new one would cost, so I bought it, I haven't played with it yet, but after seeing your video, I feel a lot better about my purchase. I put some silver on the wheels, and I put the wheelee bar on it.

[@SebastianLong]

Good review. I work with a guy who recently purchased the E-Revo (had it for about 2 months now) and he likes it a lot. I referred him to your channel and he's changing most on his as you did on yours. He's also talking about getting the X-Maxx, but I think, like you, the E-Revo will be his go to RC. I think these size RCs are perfect for various terrain. The other part is the weight if you've got to carry it out of the trails, skatepark, etc. Some parts can be a pain in the ass (I've got a summit which is nearly identical) to repair, but at the end of the day your temples will hurt from the smiles and laughing. I think it's definitely a cool RC. The only thing is I won't be soon buying an E-Revo cause as I've said, I've got the Summit as well as I have the nitro Revo. If I really wanted to, I could convert the Summit into an E-Revo fairly easy. Anyways, the guy I work with is having his servos going weak. I think it was your channel I seen the video telling the difference between duel and single servos. Definitely is more balanced with 2 but there are servos out there with far more torque than both stock servos combined have. I suggested getting a more expensive, quality servo vs 2 cheaper ones.

[@Condemned87]

Its easy to see that you really love your revo. Thanks!

[@AdrenLnFueledScholar]

I loved this review! I’ve been on the fence about getting this truck for a year. I’m thinking about making the jump and just getting it

You wont regret it! just be sure to get the limiting straps. I have a video on my channel about it.

[@AdrenLnFueledScholar]

@@outsourcedrc Thank you for the heads up! I’ll be picking up that upgrade along with the truck. I was going to head over to my hobby shop today to see if they had my color but I couldn’t make it out today. I keep telling myself that’s a sign I shouldn’t get it and just pick up my 1/16 scale mini eREVO. That bigger truck looks like a lot of fun. I’ve also watched your straps video too!

You are the reason Ive ordered one. Love your vids.

[@outsourcedrc]

Thanks! I love this thing!

[@nuraman00]

Thanks for showing a video of it doing turns. How do you make it stop and spin as it's stopping? How do you make it do flips? Do you go full throttle as it's going on the ramp? Or do you stop mid air and press the throttle again? How can I avoid having to replace parts like the servo, push rod, and drive shaft? If I use it the way you did in this video, will I have to replace parts? I don't want an item that requires a lot of maintenance. Where do I get your Venom battery? Will I like the way it drives and turns with the stock parts? Will it still drive ok with the stock springs? Did you change those for aesthetic reasons, or performance reasons?

[@outsourcedrc]

Thats a lot lol. The spins take some getting a feel for. You will do them differently depending on a lot. Mostly, as you get ready to spin it, turn the wheel, then break hard as the E Revo starts to turn. It doesnt take much of a turn to get it to spin like that. Sometimes you can follow that with a burst of throttle depending on the terrain you are driving on. To flip it, hit the ramp NOT at full throttle. After its off the ramp in the air you can give it a burst of throttle, but dont hold it. With practice you will learn how much to give. The parts will just get damaged in time. Its hard to avoid it. Its a heavy RC with lots of power. Lots of zero to full throttle bursts will do more damage over time. I got my batteries at a local Hobby Shop. These are not sold anymore. I dont recommend the new Venom batteries unless you put new connectors on them. It drives fine on stock springs. I changed mine because I do high jumps.

[@nuraman00]

@@outsourcedrc Thanks. Where can I get ramps like yours? Will they get damaged on any kind of jump, even low ones? Like what about the one where you made it jump from one ramp to the next?

Just got my erevo 2.0 yesterday. Came missing a part to the front right servo so I fried a servo in about 10 minutes which is to be expected. Have the merv which is awesome. Can’t wait to get big brother up and running. Thing is much bigger than I thought! Merv didn’t like the grass very much with talons. Trenchers fixed that some. Gonna stick with stock tires most likely for the 2.0. They look nice. Love your videos keep it up! Watched your rustler vs erevo vid and that helped me out a lot thank you 🙃

[@danasd17]

I just got an E Revo 2.0 about a month ago. I absolutely love it and it's a beast. I am noticing that some of the grease is leaking out between the right rear drive cup and bulkhead every time I run it. Has anybody else had that happen and if so what's the best way to correct it? I took the rear end apart and can see it's just a bearing there and am wondering if the bearing isn't sealing to the inside wall of the bulkhead. It looks like there's no seals there.

[@outsourcedrc]

Is it coming out of the diff? you may have a leak in the diff.

[@danasd17]

@@outsourcedrc Thank you for replying and I really appreciate it. I've watched lots of your videos and they're great. I have subscribed to your channel. I'd like to build some ramps like you did and have some real fun jumping the E Revo 2.0. I took the rear end apart and it looked like there was some light grease inside the bulkhead. I didn't look to close at the differential and just left it there assuming that the grease in the bulkhead is what was leaking out. I'll take it apart again and take a closer look at the differential. It seemed like that grease in the bulkhead was some how getting around the bearing and on the outside of the bulkhead housing around the cup only on the right rear. The other three axles are dry and I can see that blue rubber seal on the bearings right behind the cups on the other three axles.

[@rotz357]

It's fast, handles well and it looks awesome. Yes it's not perfect but I love the thing! I've got a hobbywing max 6 in mine and I'll be dropping a tp power 4070 2200kv motor in it in the spring so it will absolutely fly!

Great video. Total novice here and wanted to send you a question but don't see how to here. I got a E Revo V1 for free sans batteries and charger. I got the 3s Lipo batteries and charger from Traxxas as I didn't want to start soldering on new connectors etc. Don't know the history of this car and how it was taken car of but the local hobby shop said it looks in great shape. I've run it twice and I love it! Alas I broke a shock end (replaced already) and have the shock rebuild kit ready to go in. Traxxas suggested 60w oil over the stock so I'll start there. Wondering what upgrades or major service (thinking of checking the diffs just to be sure they are full and in good condition) you think I should look at or make? Sadly also the original Mamba Monster speed controller has died. Traxxas offering warranty upgrade to the VXL 6 or I called Castle Creations and they also offered a out of warranty replacement. Thinking of going with Castle due to the 1 year warranty over the Traxxas 30 days. Sorry for the long comment.

Its cool. I have a V1 E Revo as well. I blow through Diffs on it. I've considered seeing if I could swap out the diffs for the 2.0 diffs. I also run MIP steel axles in the front. I find the Diffs last longer if I run plastic axles in the rear.

do you use 50/50 or 70/30 neutral throttle? I love 70/30 on the slash 4x4 and rustler vxl but when I tried it with my new revo the brakes were so grabby I was afraid I might front flip it at speed. I think I need to figure out the traxxas link app so I can reduce the default braking percent. edit to add: try putting some sort of pvc tubing cut in half at the top for a coping. u could probably find some sort of roof edging or flashing to put some edges on the sides as well to protect the wood edges.

12:54 That spin was the smoothest RC maneuver I've ever seen. 😎 One thing I noticed though: The car does seem to have a tad bit too much power, i.e. appears a little unstable, when going in a straight line. Nevermind the fun factor of drifting, how much work is it to actually go straight?

[@outsourcedrc]

It stays straight. It has the TSM on it. When you turn the TSM off, it can get wild.

[@kiwiforever3604]

I really enjoy my smaller e revo with brushless motor. I have not tried it with Lipo batteries but certainly moves along. Thank you for your informative presentations. Cheers.

[@lilnash7]

Really you're missing out a lot try that little monster on Lipo it will come alive.

[@kiwiforever3604]

@@lilnash7 Thank you for your reply . I just might try that. Cheers.

[@lilnash7]

@@kiwiforever3604 all good.

[@freddafishy]

After all your upgrades, and now that you are satisfied with the Erevo, what was the price for the car in all? Like the batteries, servos, straps and everything? Around $850ish? $900?

[@outsourcedrc]

yeah somewhere around there. I love the E-Revo, but honestly I think the Maxx, while not as fun, is better to own.

[@freddafishy]

@@outsourcedrc Ok, thank you so much! I will look into the Maxx. :)

[@HNunyabusiness]

Have you ever owned a summit? It’s a great truck too.

[@outsourcedrc]

Nope. My friend has one though.

[@HNunyabusiness]

I find crawling with it really fun. My next vehicle will be the trx6 hauler. What a beast.

[@UsmanGhani-gb4ub]

Hi which one is better Arrma kraton 6s or traxxas EREVO? Thanks

[@rcjamjam]

I fully agree with you I love my X-Maxx but I love my erevo2 also. Why don't you replace your "bad" Traxxas connectors by XT90 for example ?

[@outsourcedrc]

Honestly I just havent taken the time. I always forget about it until I'm running.

[@rcjamjam]

@@outsourcedrc Now, next rainy day you will think about ;-)

[@thomasbesperka7533]

What length limiting straps, and what savoc's do you use. Have you given up on the all aluminum tie rods?

[@outsourcedrc]

I have a video on both the limiting straps and servos I use. Use 90mm straps so you dont have to use the red piece I have. My servos are 1256

[@michaelblessings4105]

Great video brotha. That thing handles like a champion. I bought the MAXX and Rustler 4x4 vxl and this one's next

[@royal00218]

Amazing review! How long does the battery last when you do this type of driving? Also what battery are you using? This review is still helpful nearly 5 years later!

[@jasongixxer6438]

People love to hate who is ever at the top. Whether its the President (of anything), a number one sports team (whos won too many damn championships), the most popular coffee chain...etc. Thats where I think alot of Traxxas hate comes from. Its a perfectly natural "root for the underdog" "king of the hill" mentality. They make GREAT, if not the best RC's, and have been as long as anybody. They are number one for a reason, lets not forget.

[@dirtybauer7022]

im gonna say its just the price of them. 300 for a brushed 4x4 rustler is crazy.

[@johnmiller4553]

I JUST PULLED THE TRIGGER AND GOT ONE. HAS ALL THE UPGRADED TRAXXAS LINK TUBES AND THE OTHER UPGRADES YOU MENTIONED ALREDY. HOPE THOSE ARE BETTER THAN STOCK🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@art.alagna.design]

Is it possible fitting 120 rocker arms onto the e-revo 2.0? Cheers

[@brendon6728]

What ride times do you get and what batteries are you using. I'm getting 16 minutes average but not babying the throttle and doing some short top end runs too. Is this normal for a revo 2.0? I see so many peeps getting 30+ minutes.

[@PeterEnis69]

hm, I'm running mine with 2 4200mAh batteries on grass and I get way over 40 minutes with average of around 1/3max throttle, often going almost flat out

[@jcallesano]

Still a solid buy in July 2020?

[@outsourcedrc]

Even more so. They have make a few improvments. I'd still swap out the servos and put the limiting straps on it.

[@jcallesano]

@@outsourcedrc sweet. I finally unboxed it today and tested it with 2- 3s traxxas 5000 batteries. Its fast, but honestly I thought it'd be much faster for 6s. I can pin it full throttle and its still drivable. I'm coming from a upgraded stampede with vxl upgrades and all other upgraded parts. Pretty much uncomfortable on full throttle 3s power... so the Erevo 2.0 6s makes me question my expensive purchase. Thoughts?

[@outsourcedrc]

@@jcallesano It should be moving just over 45 mph on stock gearing. Its not just about speed, its about the power and size also. Get it in the air and fly it a bit. It does flips and such fantasticly. I mean, it also out runs the XMaxx and the XMaxx is 8s. You can take a tiny RC and make it stupid fast with upgrades. You also cant compare a stock RC to one you have upgraded like crazy. That would be like me buying a new Mustang and wondering why my friends Fox Body with $20,000 under the hood out runs a brand new GT.

[@kadenosborn7355]

I have had mine for a day and i already melted a spur gear and i dont know why.

[@outsourcedrc]

IT may have not had the correct mesh. I'm not sure by what you mean by a melted spur gear.

[@HoffHorn]

Give some thicker shock oil a try instead of changing the spring rates. It can help bounce back and slow the compression on landing.

[@chrisbarnes1292]

Love the video!! Would you happen to have the specs on your ramps? I’d like to build some just like yours.

[@randyvanslooten8111]

I watched the video you made on how to build that ramp your using, my daughter and I built it and it works great thanks for the DIY

[@outsourcedrc]

Thats fantastic. I'm glad it helped you.

[@HNunyabusiness]

Surprised you like the clodbuster best. It’s nostalgic for sure. Had one in the 80s as a kid but lets face it, it doesn’t perform well at all. Slow and clumsy but it is a looker. I may have to pick up a kit soon. Miss it. Would be a great addition to my small fleet.

[@outsourcedrc]

Well, my Clodbuster is a custom built $1500 truck. I have a single video on here with it.

[@ultimatebot5229]

Have you ever had to replace the spur gear I keep stripping mine I even took it to my local hobby store and had them put the spur in and it stripped still

[@whatgoesup9857]

Kaleb Smith Smith he said never replaced in a year. You have stock power plant ?

[@SirAstaroth]

I just bought one three days ago the same exact car and the engine seized up on me. Currently waiting on warranty shipment from Traxxas, hopefully it was just a bad batch of motors.

[@rcjamjam]

Thank you for this great review !

[@chasevanacora785]

Thanks for all the great content I just bought a e Revo because of how many good reviews it had. And this video it looks look a nice car hope I enjoy it.

[@craigmac1516]

just picked up a used one with a castle motor and esc upgrade . is the self righting feature of the 2.0 built into the stock esc? do upgrade esc have same feature?

[@outsourcedrc]

Its a traxxas feature. Its not a great idea to use it anyways. It can tear up your E Revo.

[@Greg41982]

You should post the plans you used for making your ramps. I like the geometry of that kicker!

[@gagecoffelt3808]

I need a house like that where no one can see where its at except for the driveway, also did you have the servo problem where they would be fighting eachother?

[@chadmossbarger3383]

How much run time do you get out of your batteries? I have the same batteries for my e-Revo and I may get 20 minutes of run time. Is there something I’m not doing right?

[@outsourcedrc]

It seems like I get around 40 mins at least. Is your E Revo stock?

[@chadmossbarger3383]

Outsourced RC yes it is stock. I have ordered the spur and pinion gear to reach the 70+ mph. Makes me wonder if I’m not charging the batteries correctly?

[@outsourcedrc]

@@chadmossbarger3383 Maybe. I dont know how you are charging them or whats going on with them. Each cell needs to be 4.2

[@leaguecarrypro]

You still have the stock plastic spur gear on it? I broke my spur gear the 2nd day owning it. using self right in grass after a lot of speed runs must not be a good idea? Let me know if you ever use self right! I don’t know if it’s bad for them all together or just hard on that gear

[@outsourcedrc]

I've never broken any gears on this thing and I dont use self righting, at least not since the first day I got it.

[@leaguecarrypro]

Outsourced RC ah little update to this story, blew both front and rear diffs... got warranty parts fixed the diffs but guess what????? MOTORS FRIED TOO YAYYY! Got it august 30th and have ran it for a grand total of 20 minutes now I gotta wait for them to ship me a new piece of shit motor and ESC. Stock gearing. 10 minutes of running in the grass. Dead motor. This may very well kill RC as a hobby for me

[@outsourcedrc]

@@leaguecarrypro Wow I have never heard of anyone having that much bad luck with one of these. I wouldnt let this kill the hobby for you. Maybe sell it and try something else?

[@leaguecarrypro]

Outsourced RC I’m getting everything replaced by traxxas but uhh.. definitely never using self right again LOL

[@outsourcedrc]

@@leaguecarrypro Maybe you need to work on your driving also?

[@adambahnsen4577]

Well said! Ive had mine for about the same time frame and have only broken the wing mount. Havent had any issues with the shocks or pushrods, but i run a pretty extreme shock setup thats about to get even beefier, lol. Yeah, my handling has suffered because of it but eh, thats why ive got a second set of shocks for crawling, lol. I have swapped out the power system to a 2000kv motor and max8 esc, not due to failure of the stock power system, but something thatll be better suited to the weight of the batteries i run.
