TRAXXAS E-REVO 1/16 th VXL SPEED TEST 3S, 2S, NiMh - inc. training mode 

Thank you - 🤣🤣 he’ll love it - I’m positive - check out the unboxing vid we did - priceless moments 😊 Thanks for watching 👍👍

Ah thank you very much. We appreciate you stopping by and commenting 👍👍😊😊

RIGHT

Kid was talking during the 26mph pass and I was thinking was This kids a genius

Thank you very much 😊👍

WOW! 65mph is nuts 👍👍 Yeah it’s proving fun - maybe I need another so I don’t have to share with my son 🤣 Cheers.

PG RC Plus Yes bit you need to buy a 34 tooth pinion and a 43 tooth spur. Or you can just do 32 pinion and 43 spur and you’ll be at 62-64 mph maxed out with 3 cell lipo. 32/45 will probably get you 58-61 mph maxed out. I use the sky RC gsm-015 just like the one in this video. In kph it’s alittle more accurate.

Ok - thank you explaining that 👍

@@gorillabeartech4577 whats your motor and esc Temps like with this setup? Traxxas told me I couldn't run two 3s in parallel. I knew they were lying 🤔 please tell us more

@@jamesrobinson4950 I run mine on 3S all day long and it doesn’t do anything except maybe once in a blue moon seldomly I have to buy a new esc. Usually when you run it on stock gearing you don’t have to worry..... it’s usually you have to worry only when your running it on a higher gearing and on 3S. They recommended to me I run it on two 3S in parallel instead of just a single 3S.

Ah thank you very much 😊 I’ve definitely enjoyed bringing him on board - it’s been brilliant watching him develop his skills - and the unboxing vids have just been so much fun to do together 👍😊

Cheers 👍

Ah thank you so much - we really appreciate that 😊👍 We we’re out yesterday - me with the Maxx and him the mini e-revo - real blast! Need to work on taking vid at same time but struggling to do all that and keep us and passers by safe!

@@pgrcplus Lol, i can emagine! Safery first, i've hit a biker and my neighbor in a month with the Hoss... 😮 Really have a hard time making a choice on the next car.. Rustler 4×4, E-revo or its big brother.. Loved the positive video, only one that made me smile. Seem to be some issues with the Revo the more i learn about it but it might end up at a mini on 2s to be a little safer. Don't wanna fully upgrade a €700 e revo out of the box, that's to much. At least i found another cool rc channel in the process!

OMG 🤩 thank you for your support - good luck with yr choice, I’d be interested to know what you go for....

Ah thank you so much - we really appreciate that - my lad has been asking the same thing, there has been some interesting discussions on it 🤣 Thanks for stopping by 👍😎

11 morons so far! Great video guys, don't let the haters get you down, they're just jealous!

Thank you very much for your kind comment 😊

Ah thank you - and for the advice, I may just do that 👍

Thank you 👍🤣

MPH, fast little rig 👍😊

Give a 5yr old the controls of a fast car 🤣.... Hitting the curb - it’s a small RC so doesn’t ride up it so much as bash into it - driver error..

Thank you 😊👍

Very true - this test was just on the stock gearing 👍

Thank you very much - it’s small, fast and fun! 👍

We really appreciate your kind comments - thank you so much 😊 it’s been great to get back into the RC hobby and a real joy to share it with my son 👍😊 Gassing a plenty 🤣

The Traxxas one made for the 1/16th scale, part number TRX2823X 👍

Depends on how you run the car of course but we normally get a good 25mins out of each 👍

Chassis has been durable - when the stock arms break - best to upgrade with RPM - those ones haven’t broken yet 👍

Yep - not even on the speed gearing 👍

It’s a service road - was safe though 👍

Ah thanks so much! It’s a great RC isn’t it, bet yr having fun 😊 Have you done any different upgrades to what I’ve done so far (I did a vid on that) ?

Thank you very much - yeah it’s a great hobby isn’t it 👍👍

PG RC Plus It definitely is!

Thank you 😊

Cheers Jack, yes the 2S is a clear winner (I got a second). I managed a standing backflip with the 2S (indoors on high grip carpet!). The NiMh will be consigned to a shelf and the 3S saved for silly stuff!

Takin the 3s out to do a burnout today!🤪🤪🤪😂😂😂👍👍👍

That’s amazing that you managed a flip!

Look forward to seeing that!

Yep - and I’ll probably leave them as I’m now using bigger tires without gearing down 👍

@@pgrcplus okay thank you, loved the video 👍

Thank you very much 😊

I got 45MPH on 3s LiPo on the normal gearing 👍

Cheers 👍 - probably going to try the Fastrax ones first as they’re a lot cheaper and can go on my lads xmas list 😊

They are especially for the 1/16th scale - part no’s: 2820X and 2823X 👍

Perfect vehicle for him eh! Enjoy 😊👍

Thank you very much - we found it interesting to make 😊👍

Depends on how you are running it, but a mix of driving and speed runs, two in parallel I would guess 25 mins or so 👍

Ooh - that’s gonna hurt! 😊👍

Ah man thank you so much 😊 Thinking of repeating the test with the included speed gear just to see what we get. Will work on some actual run content for sure 👍👍

That would be fun! Might stretch the electronics a bit though…

@@pgrcplus they are made for it

@@pgrcplus series 24 v stays at 20 amps

Might look into that then - cheers 👍

The Traxxas one - I haven’t been brave enough to branch out yet 🤣 I’ve got the Traxxas charger so it makes sense at the mo. Thanks for stopping by 👍😊

@@pgrcplus thanks

Yeah like 3S in terms of power and speed 👍

Ah thank you very much - he’s growing fast though 🤣

Yep we did, thanks for stopping by 👍

You’re gonna love it - enjoy 👍👍😊😊

@@pgrcplus thanks!

Thank you - much appreciated 👍👍😊😊

It’s really is a great little truck - brilliant in the skate park isn’t it 😊

Yeah

Yes - brushless LiPo system 👍

Thanks for your support 😊

@@pgrcplus hey no problem man I just thought it was the most awesome thing in the world to see you and your kid out there about 40 years ago that was me and my father out there... With some of the first RC stuff that came out. 😂 God bless you guys look forward to seeing more of your content

Ah thank you 😊 I’m with you there for sure brother - same time period as well 👍 - Grasshopper, upgraded to Hornet spec, Fox, Monster Beetle, Super Sabre, Blitzer Beetle and then a 20+ year hiatus! Returned with a re release Monster Beetle then an Axial Yeti which I still ran brushed! and then got my confidence for brushless - Maxx, 1/16th E-Revo and X-Maxx. Aiming for a 5th scale Kraton EXB - but my lad is now working the Maxx really well on normal mode so may get him his own so we can race together properly 😊

Nope, just used the stock gear for all these runs - great little car 😊👍

@@pgrcplus just ordered one but won't get it until end of February on backorder but can't wait, thnx 👍

Brilliant - you’re going to have a lot of fun 👍👍😊😊

@@pgrcplus hey just got my merv, waited until midnight when the wife was sleep to do my first run😂. Wow! It's amazing, I think the nimh battery is plenty fast. I bought 2 3s lipos 🤔😣 why??? Lol. Could of saved some money and just got another nimh and ran it in parallel for how I'm going to drive this. Hey thanks for your review, you're spot on. Now time to buy a second 1 😁👍🏽

@James Robinson Awesome! It’s such a great piece of engineering isn’t it 😊 Wow 2 3s - well don’t forget you can run the 3s in training mode which will double the run time and keep the speed similar to the NiMh - and save on weight over running two packs at the same time 👍😊. Enjoy my friend 😎

Thank you 😊 Ah yes - the NIMH doesn’t do the car any favours - I don’t think I’ve used it since making that vid. The 2S is my go to battery - it will bring it to life - enjoy my friend 😊
