Hi Dave, glad you liked the write up. I used to visit Bournemouth beach quite a bit as my dad lived in Highcliffe, but he’s moved nearer to me now so sadly I won’t be going there very often now. A shame, as it was a great place to run the cars.

The E-Revo Brushless Edition (ERBE) is a lot of money, you’re right – however what a lot of people do (myself included) is buy the standard model, then upgrade the electronics at a later date (in other words, when the Titans and Traxxas ESC give up). Simply switching to LiPos gives the standard model a bit of a kick (although you have to use a LiPo LVC with the standard ESC) over NiMH, and then one of the Hobbywing / Turnigy / Mtroniks Brushless Combos can be added later on – they’re cheaper than the Mambo that the ERBE uses.

Hiya…excellent review thanks, do you live in the Bournemouth area? I live in Charminster, and would like to see the big erevo in action. I have previousll owned a TMAXX nitro, and currently have a Rustler. Although just forked out £120 as the Titan 550 motor decided t lunch itself, and take out the ESC with it. Also had to replace the Transmitter and receiver, so now have a Speccie DX3e. Been loking at the erevo brushless, but very serious money. WOuld like the chance to get together with you and have a run out with the cars.

Cheers

Dave
