The E Revo 2.0 has been out a whole year! I do a one year review and tell you guys what I think about it after all this time.
Sorry about the Audio. I'm still working on the mic. I thought I had it fixed but I guess it didnt work right. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
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.
Yeah it is!
Thank you for this qualified review. You are so right, a review only makes sense after a proper time of use. Well done.
I know Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my password. I love any tricks you can give me!
@Tanner Finley instablaster =)
@Kylen Leonidas Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process atm.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Kylen Leonidas It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out !
@Tanner Finley No problem :)
All the youtubers hate on this thing but you are the only one who sees what I see in the e revo 2.0
You should see what I think of mine and what I have put mine through. Its a solid rig.
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!
@@jamesstubbs8954 i have an Arrma and this revo. The Arrma is superior!
@@jamesstubbs8954 arrma is straight hot 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩 traxxas all day
Bought e revo 2.0, 2 weeks later bought an xmaxx. I have another erevo in my shopping cart right now. Dope!
This vid was both informative and entertaining. Your passion for the hobby shows. Appreciate the info!
I love mine too...I appreciate your videos and seeing the enjoyment you get from the hobby. I love the idea of reviewing after 1 year...it makes for much better content

Sire i like how the RC makes u smile,and i like all ppl that can enjoy the hobby,whatever age they have.My neighboors think i`m out of my mind playing whit expensive RC(romania),however my father is 60,i am 35,he also likes it,and hes almost an old man.You smiling like this,is great,have fun man forever!
Its easy to see that you really love your revo. Thanks!
Great review, man. Good and honest, and you were able to give it a year. That's some serious time and you're right, it takes more than 30 min to give it a good shakedown. Great stuff, man.
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.
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.
Awesome!
I've had mine since February and haven't broken more than a shock rod end and the wheelie bar. solid product!
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
Its an awesome RC! you are going to love it. Thanks so much for the Sub
Thank you. Based on your review I went ahead and bought this at Hobbytown.
My son and I have had a blast with it.
I'm glad you are enjoying it!
I love how much you love your e-revo it's unique in its own way design wise I just can't tell you how much i love mines
Oh I know.
Your e revo videos helped me want this truck. I just got mine 2 weeks ago and i love it so much. No more wheel hexs circling out, no more body pins, tons of power and feels light and nimble to drive. And does tricks so easy. Nice size to work on as well
Great review 👍 I completely agree with you about when to do a review. There are so many bad product review on YT for that reason. To be honest I don't really think you had to say much, that smile said it all lol
Thanks a lot for your good review. And I have to say. I am so jealous on your living area!! That would be mine dream to live on a place like that in middle of a forest
Mine too!!
Yes nice review this is a very fun rc i love mine thanks for posting.
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.
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 🙃
Great video brotha. That thing handles like a champion. I bought the MAXX and Rustler 4x4 vxl and this one's next
Bought the revo 2.0 today and yea i love it so much fun
Thank you,
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.
@@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!
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.
Thank you for this great review !
I’ve had mine for 2 weeks did some upgrades and I love it!
You should totally do a 2019 rc collection video!
Love the video!! Would you happen to have the specs on your ramps? I’d like to build some just like yours.
Great review brought one a week ago sold my clodzilla to fund it and very happy so far and. I still have an og clod but don't drive it much
Thanks for the great review! I bought an erevo 2.0 last,February and it's the RC that brought me back to the hobby after about 24 years.
I love the erevo 2.0 and it's such as awesome rc to drive. 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!
I'm secretly hoping that Traxxas bring out an extreme Erevo 2.0 where you can add your own power system or maybe even an 8s 1/5 scale erevo 2.0 would be fun!
Keep up the great content!
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
Happy Birthday E-Revo 2.0!!!
You are the reason Ive ordered one. Love your vids.
Thanks! I love this thing!
You should post the plans you used for making your ramps. I like the geometry of that kicker!
i'm also really happy with mine!
I'm new to the E-Revo game, just got my hand in a new one. Your videos have helped me soooo much
Thank Ya Sir!
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.
Really you're missing out a lot try that little monster on Lipo it will come alive.
@@lilnash7 Thank you for your reply . I just might try that. Cheers.
@@kiwiforever3604 all good.
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
Thats fantastic. I'm glad it helped you.
Man, you are making me REALLY want one of these!
It’s still my favorite RC. You should get one!
@@outsourcedrc If only I had the money😢
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!
I agree with you the e Revo 2.0 is the best rc car ever
I JUST Bought my 1st RC since i was in my 20's and Went with the REVO 2. I've gotta say anyone who watches your videos is immediately SOLD on the Revo2. I'm charging my batteries at i text you. LoL 😆 can't wait to get out their and Shred. I just wanted to say Thank You for the AWESOME 1 year review, i know now that i bought the Right RC for my Return to the Ramp.
Keep making videos, i like them.
Maybe I'll post a short of my own to show you mine.
See you again. ✌
Thats awesome. Be sure to check out my latest and get your aluminum rod ends.
@@outsourcedrc i ordered the green Aluminized Push Rods & Toe Links From Traxxas. Yeah I'll check out the Aluminum Rod Ends too. I'm a HopUp Junkie. My Whole Erevo2 is going to be All aluminum LoL. I'm looking for a Steering Assembly right now, that's not coming from China....
@@thestonedhedge77 An all aluminum E Revo cant bash. You are going to bend all of those aluminum parts when you wreck it. Those are for street racing.
Great review. I sold mine a while ago but I almost want to buy one again was thinking about a roller. I love the sound of the erevo also!
I am pretty happy i went for the Rustler 4x4 VXL for my first car. Because man, i could not afford that many broken parts, at least not from the start. Who knows in a year. I still like how beastly the E-Revo 2 looks and it's so BIG compared to the Rustler.
At any rate, good video! very in depth. Gotta say im really impressed at how well the E-Revo 2 handles, they way it can turn like that :O wow.
Man, the E Revo is Awesome!
I'm getting one anywhere from 3 weeks to 2 months from now then if you want to make the bodies last so much longer gorilla tape the crunch points and it it will be more resistant to cracks and tears, I've learned that from my friends E Revo, his body is destroyed but I learned it from him and used it on my rustler and it last for ever
I really like the revo, i started with the 2,5R then replaced the motor with 3.3 and then completely rebuilt it to a 3.3 revo until i transformed it to a brushless but kept the 3.3 body and tires because i think they look cool and gives it a monster look. 😃
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.
I bought one a year ago and spent way to much on bling now cant bring myself to beat it up.....its so beautiful lol
Nothing wrong with that! Just look at my Clodbuster and SMT10.
@@outsourcedrc LOL right I do beat my Kraton up pretty bad though! :) great video bud!
Is this still your go-to and the one you'd recommend in late 2022? Is the Rustler a good 2nd choice if I wanted something a little smaller, lighter?
Great review!!! I Love my Erevo too!!!
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.
In the end buy what brings you the biggest smile, for me it was the kraton.
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.
Just get the limiting straps and rear brace and it will be fine.
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.
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.
@@chadstoudt2580 yep
@@chadstoudt2580 Cheers I'm to order the Kraton 4s next week.
I want to see an 8S E REVO 6TH Scale 70+ MPH with the Light Kit already installed on it with the same Chasey style as this one ! I would LOVE it !
An 8s E Revo the size of the Arrma 8s rigs would rock. I'm sure Traxxas has thought of it. I wonder if they are working on it.
Love the E-Revo...just wish it had ground clearance comparable to the nitro model.
I have a 1st generation revo it still kicks ass only replaced the spur gear still stock
I really enjoyed all your erevo posts!! Lots of helpful info..great shots..a queston..what you think about metal skid plates?. As an up grade for the erevo?
I dont think they are needed personally. I like to avoid metal parts when I can on these things. Metal bends.
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.
Thank you for the review
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 !!!
Great video. I had the choice of this or the maxx. Even though the maxx is more durable, the e revo is the more capable and fun.
I agree.
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🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
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?
It stays straight. It has the TSM on it. When you turn the TSM off, it can get wild.
Hi l am just getting in to the RC world 🌎l have been flying drone for years looking for the perfect rc truck 🚚 thank you for all your help Eddie 😊
Just purchased a Maxx v2 and E Revo 2.0 they’re awesome.
Which one is your favorite that you see keeping?
Awesome review bro very honest and respectful 💪🏻
My erevo is my favorite to drive... but if I could only have one it would be my trx6. From .01mph to 25mph it can crawl or blast down trails.
.
But, having the Capra, trx6, and erevo means I rarely use my trx6. If I want some fast fun I’ll use the erevo... if I want to rock crawl I’ll grab the Capra. The trx6 is basically used for hiking.
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?
Great Review. Im new in the hobby and im looking to buy my first RC. I dont know if I will stay in the hobby but I definitely want to own a good quality RC.....therefore ur review was a spot on. I was between Arrma Felony and E revo 2.0......but I think I ll go for the 2nd one.
Thats awesome! Remember, these things have a pretty good resale value or you can always just set it aside and pick it up later.
@@outsourcedrc Good to know, although I dont like selling staff like that....unless they are crap :p
Very nice review.. i bought the E-revo 2.0 myself and I do not regret it.... really fun and nice machine to drive. I like your review and what a nice playground you have. How long are your limiting straps?
Broken anything?
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.
I use 50/50.
I have problems with the the ball pins pulling out of the a arms.
I still have the original e-revo, fried one motor and still have not fried the "Not Waterproof" speed controller. It loves to blow rear ends but, is cheap to fix. The Sledge may be my next addition.
The body’s are very impressive! Put alittle tape inside the body and do the body washers and you will get along time out of the body!
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?
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.
@@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?
@@nuraman00 I made my ramps. There is a video on my channel showing exactly how I build them. The ramps are tough. I have not broken them yet. I've chipped the edges in some places but nothing too bad.
Really nice review mate, so authentic see you driving and hearing how you enjoy it! Got mine 2 weeks ago and loving it too. Greeting from Germany!
PS: How about some rubber edge protection parts for your "landing ramp" :-)
Thanks. Not a bad Idea
Man siehts ihm echt an... Er strahlt wie ein Kind zu Weihnachten. Schön anzusehen, dass jemand so viel Spaß dabei hat. :)
That's awesome! I got one last week so far so good nothings broke and did some pretty hard bashing. Alltho my friend got one and it only lasted about 5 mins till the esc blew out from the self righting. Just do not use that feature and it will last a very long time!
The self righting will also blow your tires. Learned that lesson the hard way 2 tires ripped in half right away.
Nice review bud..Hard to believe there is so much hate out there for traxxas and this truck
🤷♂️
thanks. I dont know, I like Traxxas.
Is it possible fitting 120 rocker arms onto the e-revo 2.0? Cheers
Hi which one is better Arrma kraton 6s or traxxas EREVO? Thanks
We just got our first e revo 2.0 and are having a blast
Steering servos going haywire already....
@@workhardplayharder4589 Yep. Thats why everyone replaces them.
great review
Nice review brother
Have you had anymore issues with the rod-ends?
Let’s be honest, best vid ever no doubt
Give some thicker shock oil a try instead of changing the spring rates. It can help bounce back and slow the compression on landing.
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.
Well, my Clodbuster is a custom built $1500 truck. I have a single video on here with it.
Use gorilla tape to make the body stonger
What length limiting straps, and what savoc's do you use. Have you given up on the all aluminum tie rods?
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
Do a 3 year review of the e revo, Id like to hear your overall opinion now that we’ve gotten the toe links and other issues fixed 😁
Now that’s you have had a bunch of time with all your vehicles... which one is your favorite and if you could only have 2 what would they be?
The E Revo is one of my top ones. That and my Clodbuster. I think the top two, not including my Clodbuster, is my E Revo 2.0 and my Typhon 6s. They are the ones I have the most fun with
TKS I'm getting ready to buy this
You should!
What is your favorite all time? Or maybe a top 5. Dont have a y traxxas but like the looks of them for sure
The Clodbuster, and the E Revo 2.0 are my top 2. I'm not sure about a top 5.
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.
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
Just got one and it’s a new ballgame coming from a senton 3s... this car is heavy and just puts down the power with the stock tires.
Right? I love this thing!
I Love The E-Revo 2.0!
It’s just really Fun!
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.
@@outsourcedrc Thanks so much for the reply. I guess I'll just wait till I break the stock front axles before upgrading. As far as the diff's well I will see how they last for me. Not planning on bashing as much as just flat runs and some easy jumps etc. Your videos are great and very well done, love the enthusiasm!
@@jamescross3740 Thanks!
Part of my backyard is decent sized, but it's not a huge one like the one you showed. There is about 30-35 feet of space, though, in one stretch.
Will a 11.1 V 5000 mAh battery be too much power, and will it go too fast? If so, will a 7.6 V 7600 mAh battery be better?
Personally, I'd go with the better batteries. If you take it somewhere else to drive it, you will wish you had them. you can always put the E Revo in training mode to reduce its power.
Que hermoso eh!! Que bueno que está es una bestia eh!! Quisiera el unboxing en español 😭😭😭😭
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?
yeah somewhere around there. I love the E-Revo, but honestly I think the Maxx, while not as fun, is better to own.
@@outsourcedrc Ok, thank you so much! I will look into the Maxx. :)
Do you have any tips on keeping rod ends from pulling out/breaking? Just got my E-Revo today and I can already notice a bit of angle starting in the rear wheels.
I gave up trying. I just keep a bag of push rod ends in my tool box. Its rare I need them. If you mean shock ends, I have a video talking about limiting straps that solve that.
Outsourced RC yeah I’m definitely doing the limiting straps, they seem like a must! I’ll stick up on rods and rod ends! Thanks for always responding man!
Where did you get the limiting straps from?
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?
Its a traxxas feature. Its not a great idea to use it anyways. It can tear up your E Revo.
