Traxxas’ signature splined 17mm hubs are in place, but instead of being fixed with a screw-pin, a smooth pin is used and secured by a setscrew inserted from the end of the 8mm steel stub axle. The CV joint fits into a giant 17x26mm bearing that captures its crosspin, and the upright is a new molding. …These steel “Maxx Duty” CV-joint monsters. Those outdrives are new, since the plastic universal-joint shafts are now replaced by… The “Maxx Duty” ring and pinion gears have twice as much steel, and the diffs get four spider gears instead of two. You want stronger diffs? Here you go, look how much larger and burlier the ER2 diffs are compared to OG flavor. Even the chassis is a new part! Let’s zoom in (and take some stuff apart) so you can see what’s really going on here. With the body off, the ER2 doesn’t dramatically jump out as “new.” And yet, virtually every part of the truck has been altered. It also helps the new E-Revo (let’s call it the ER2 for short) rock back onto its roof using the self-righting technology that debuted with the X-Maxx. There’s not a body clip to be found! Also note the bumper-like cap that sits on top of the body (or on top of the cage in this shot) to absorb rollover abuse. The E-Revo “2” is waaaaay newer than it looks at a glance.Ībout that body: while it still has the E-Revo silhouette we’re all familiar with, it’s actually all-new and gets an X-Maxx style “skeleton” with quick-release system. New paint, new tires, new wheels…FOR STARTERS. And what does that do to the price? Pricing will very with dealer, but the E-Revo’s minimum-advertised price will be $550–just $20 more than the current E-Revo. Where Traxxas’ originally strove to make the E-Revo a lightweight “athlete” of a truck (remember, it came out back in the days of ROAR-sanctioned monster truck racing), the 2018 model is “Maxx-Spec” (as in X-Maxx) and aimed squarely at going fast, jumping high, hitting hard, and coming back for more. Now known as the “ E-Revo VXL Brushless” rather than “Brushless Edition,” the truck is comprised almost entirely of new parts despite looking merely “refreshed.” Very few components have escaped Traxxas’ efforts to go thicker/tougher/stronger. Which brings us to this: the new-for-2018 E-Revo. Ask anyone who goes hard with an E-Revo, and they’ll tell you exactly what you’re likely to break or wear out when going big with jumps and flips and wrecks and rolls. As the choice of countless “bashers” (the worst term ever for “non-racers,” but I digress), and a top choice of Traxxas’ skilled stunt drivers at NHRA races and other events, the E-Revo is a very well-known quantity. Get ready for a whole new level of power, strength, and speed.Traxxas has a had a long and very successful run with the E-Revo, which reigned as the brand’s most powerful 4X4 until the X-Maxx stormed onto the scene. This new E-Revo retains all the benefits of its original ground-breaking, award-winning design, but fortifies them with brute strength and an intense, take-no-prisoners attitude to deliver what is simply the ultimate 6s monster. It embodies the highest level of creativity in design and engineering that unleashed a stunning array of new technology, new innovation, and unheard of speed that reset every benchmark for racing monster truck performance. There is no other monster truck like E-Revo. Traxxas 86086-4 - 1/10 E-Revo VXL 2.0 RTR 4WD Electric 6S Monster Truck - Orange
