They say...
Traxxas sets the standard for power, performance and innovation. Now, for the first
time, all the speed, quality and capability you expect from Traxxas is available
in 1/16 scale with the new 1/16 E-Revo VXL. At 14 inches long, E-Revo VXL is about
half the size of the 1/10-scale E-Revo. But don't call it a "mini"—this is a whole
new category of R/C performance and fun that no mere mini-model can match. Beneath
the factory-finished polycarbonate shell, you'll find the winning suspension technology
of the seven-time National Champion Traxxas Revo®, screaming Velineon® brushless-motor
power, and the convention-busting innovation of the E-Revo.
No detail was overlooked in our mission to bring all the capability, durability,
and excitement of Traxxas' award-winning models to 1/16 scale for fast, affordable
R/C fun. The E-Revo VXL is built on the race-winning, track-proven innovation of
the Revo and E-Revo models. The standard-bearer of design excellence, the Revo's
F1-inspired, rocker-actuated suspension has been expertly adapted to 1/16 scale with
all its functionality and performance intact, right down to the oil-filled, threaded-body
GTR shocks. This superior technology provides capability, performance, and tuning
functions at the absolute pinnacle of truck design. The suspension and electronics
are fully integrated into the semi-monocoque chassis design that stunned the world
when it debuted with the E-Revo. Intricately molded as a single piece, the chassis
balances strength and weight, function and aesthetics, convenience and performance
to far surpass the standards of the "mini" category. In 1/16 scale, it is an even
more impressive achievement of packaging and performance optimization that could
only come from Traxxas, The Fastest Name In Radio Control®.
Some mini-models are "fast for a mini." That's not good enough for Traxxas. The 1/16
E-Revo VXL is just plain fast. At 30+mph with the included 6-cell NiMH battery, E-Revo
VXL is nearly twice as fast as most mini models, and faster than most electric RTR
trucks of any scale. Install a second 6-cell battery to unleash the Velineon Brushless
Power System's full fury, and E-Revo VXL jumps to over 50mph—all with proven-safe
NiMH packs. No other RTR truck, regardless of scale, makes it so easy and affordable
to experience this level of high speed and wheelie-popping power.
All-new and built specifically for Traxxas 1/16 scale models, the VXL-3m speed control
and Velineon® 380 motor represent the latest in brushless technology. Fully LiPo
compatible with low-voltage detection for 2S and 3S packs and rated for 6-12 NiMH
cells, this potent, powerful combo gives E-Revo VXL precise throttle control and
blistering top speed. Patent-pending Training Mode™ lets new drivers hone their skills
at 50% throttle. When drivers' ed is through, full power and 50+mph is unleashed
with a touch of the EZ-Set® button. Big speed requires big horsepower, so E-Revo
VXL and Slash 4WD VXL carry the largest motor in the "mini" category. The Velineon
380 is built to the same no-compromise specs as the Velineon 3500 found in Traxxas'
70+mph 1/10 scale VXL models. High-speed ball bearings. Sintered rotor. Neodymium
magnets. Gold plated 3.5mm connectors. It all adds up to 50,000 rpm of pure power
and track-searing speed!
Now a hallmark of Traxxas vehicles, E-Revo VXL is the latest model to be equipped
with fully waterproof electronics to keep the fun rolling in water, mud and snow
while lesser cars stay on the bench. The patent-pending sealed receiver box houses
Traxxas' newest 4-channel micro receiver and can accept aftermarket receivers as
well, without compromising the 1/16 VXL models' waterproof properties. The new VXL-3m
electronic speed control and high-torque, digital micro servo are sealed against
the elements giving you the freedom to go places other cars wouldn't dare to venture.
The 1/16 E-Revo VXL is fully assembled with TQ radio system, Velineon brushless power
system, painted and decaled body, pre-glued tires, and detailed instructions. A Traxxas
Power Cell NiMH battery and charger are also included, making the E-Revo VXL truly
Ready-To-Race. Designed specifically for the high-power needs of the Velineon brushless
system, the potent Power Cell pack features heavy-duty construction, 16-gauge wires
and Traxxas' exclusive High-Current Connector for efficient power transfer, run after
run. Traxxas backs the E-Revo VXL and all of our products with top-notch support
that is second to none. A staff of skilled representatives is on-hand to answer your
questions via phone, website, or e-mail. Unmatched parts support allows the E-Revo
to be serviced with parts and support from thousands of hobby dealers worldwide.
Your investment is also protected by the Traxxas Lifetime Electronics Warranty. Traxxas
goes the extra mile to ensure that your R/C experience is easy and fun (and fast!).

We Say...
This is just such a great little truck, 50mph+ out the box and performance than will
embarrass most 1/10th scale models. Everything you need to get going is included
so no need to spend out on any extra’s (except maybe that extra battery pack) This
is a perfect intro into Rc modelling at a very competitive price.
50+mph and only 14 inches long is enough speed for anyone, its like a little Terrier
with too much energy! The handling is surprisingly good, sometimes this smaller
scale models can be twitchy and hard to keep on their wheels. The eRevo 1/16th drives
incredibly well with great high speed stability even on rough terrain.
The eRevo is incredibly tough and can handle some incredible punishment, even when
taking the biggest jumps. With the unique position this model holds in the market
place it does not lend itself to the race scene although it could more than hold
its own at club level.
