hi! this article was very helpful for me. But it was difficult to find it with google.com. Maybe you should improve it with plugins for wordpress like WP seo.

looks like he ran the input wires from the battery’s black w/ black an red w/ red, into the traxxas plug. must be on the hot side. then might of did a “Y” wire back out to the two batterys. just my guess.

The gap between Nitro and Electric has long since been past now. Brushless speeds are quite often much faster than their Nitro counterparts. E.G. The Savage X 4.6SS (Nitro) has a stock top speed of 45MPH whereas the Savage Flux (Brushless) has a stock top speed of 60MPH. The Revo 3.3 (Nitro) has a stock top speed of 45MPH whereas the E-Revo Brushless has a stock top speed of 65 MPH. 1/8th Scale Brushless has really changed the game.

As for handling, it actually handles really well at high speeds. The E-Revo is really low to the ground and I have Pro-Line Crime Fighter LPR tires on it now that grip really well to almost any surface. I also installed the Traxxas sway bar kit to keep it level and reduce understeer. It’s definitely better handling than any of my other monster trucks. My Savage Flux flips quite easily at high speeds, but it has a lot more ground clearance though it’s definitely not set up for racing.

Hi,

That is an insane speed! Just shows how far technology has come since the old motors that used bushes etc….

The gap is closing between nitro and electric rc cars now for sure in terms of performance.

How does the car hasndle at that speed? Is it fairly stable?
