I may order five as I read that some are Dead On Arrival.Īre the 1/16 revo any better in deep snow then the 1/10, just thinking lighter weight may keep them up top rather then sinking. I am about to pull the trigger on Hobb圜ity's Zippy Flighmax 2200MaH 20C the LiPos, as mentioned in the thread you referenced. In the shocks? Will the metal shocks have these steel balls? Where are these 'steel balls' you mention. I'll also think about the other things you mention. RPM's parts are longer lasting (less brittle) than Traxxas, at least for the axle carriers on my Rustler, we used to break those a lot. I ordered the RPM front a-arms, due Jan 4. I have a hitec 82mg sitting here that I haven't put in yet. There are 3s batteries from hobbycity that fit as well.some are listed in the aforementioned thread.Įdit: A metal gear servo upgrade would be good as well. They fit, but the wires are a bit large so you need to open up the trucks battery bay doors a bit. I'm running 2s 2200mah 20C lipos in parallel in the truck. Yes, Lipo should provide a longer runtime than equivalent Nimh since Lipo can hold a more constant discharge. I haven't tried the stock batteries, so can't comment there. Regarding batteries.the battery tray is kind of tapered on the ends, so it depends where yo utake your measurements from. Or you can get a center diff and fill it with 100k oil or so. This thing wheelies a lot by the way.so go easy on the trigger finger. I also shimmed my rear diff while i had them opened as it felt a maybe a tad lose. The diffs come with a light oil, but mine were empty so I filled them with 50k diff oil front and rear. If you get clicking from your diff after some runs, open them up and shim them before they strip gear teeth. Other recommended changes are steel balls instead of the stock plastic ones. Improvements from stock would be harder springs (black rear, tan front) and heavier shock oil (50wt all round) - I have the stuff, but haven't done this yet. I can't answer most of those as I've hardly driven my truck But I've read that the A-arms break from hard jumps.RPM is releasing some replacements early next year though. Is it practical to run the batteries in parallel? This would theoretically double the run-time (Mah), but not the speed (Volts). Recommended 2S LiPo batteries (preferably Hobb圜ity, that will still fit after a little expected swelling)? What is the recommended 2S LiPo C-rating? 25? Maximum that will fit, I'd imagine Will LiPo provide a longer run time than NiMH, even at a similar Mah rating? How long of run-time do you get on one vs. Can you confirm each battery compartment is 94mm x 34mm x 17mm? I also believe that 2S w/higher MaH is the max size that will fit in the battery compartments, so I assume I'll go with 2S LiPo. I understand the car will run on either one or two batteries. Do the stock tires wear quickly on pavement? Do the stock tires run well on dirt, and wear well? Any add-on or improvement parts you'd recommend from the start? the first ones expected to break)? Axle carriers, etc. I am looking to race for fun, not serious competition. My neighbor has a dirt track in his back yard and I'll be 'cutting' one in my yard this spring. I own two Traxxas Ruster VXLs and run them to death on NiMH, love 'em! Now I'm buying the 1/16 E-Revo. Hello! I have a few questions about the stock 1/16 E-Revo I'm hoping you can answer.
