designed to withstand the rigors of off-road racing. The key to durability for any 2WD stadium truck is the transmission, and the E-Firestorm Flux tranny is extra tough, using all metal gears to easily handle the power of hot electric motors. Inside the tranny is a sealed planetary differential with, again, all metal gears for extra toughness. And everything is protected by an adjustable dual-pad slipper clutch mated to durable 48 pitch gears, with tough steel dogbones and axles transmit the power to the tires.

The Firestorm's design heritage is easy to spot in the E-Firestorm Flux. The stealthy black color theme is purposefully applied to the sleek curves of the composite nylon main chassis with strategically center-mounted batteries, servo and transmission. The proven tough suspension from the Firestorm is carried over for maximum durability. And subtle features like threaded shock bodies and hex head screws point out that the E-Firestorm Flux is not your average RTR truck, it

super fun, friendly and reliable
HPI surely proves to be in the lead when it comes to RC.

This Brushless Firestorm is super fast, versatile enough to take upgrades such as hop-ups and LiPo (i don't use LiPo).

It requires minimal maintenance and friendly enough to understand what needs to be done or how an upgrade/change is possible. Moreover with HPI's well thought and user friendly material (site/manual/parts), it's easy to find your way around. Although i have not done serious maintenance yet, i think i should be ok when time comes.

Have had some bumps here and there, however the firestorm flux survived, an the look (mine came silver) is awesome.

As an overall thing, it's great value for the fun, versatility and user friendliness, brushless and durability that comes with it.

great fun June 19, 2009

This is an entry level hobby grade rc vehicle. Perhaps the most fun rc I own (and I have a few). This will hands down be better than anything you can pick up from TRU or wally world. Tamiyas are very durable, I have seldom broken anything on my Lunchbox and the couple small parts that I did break were available to replace. This is a kit, think of it as a model that must be assembled before you can play with it. And you may need to purchase radio gear separately. You will not be disappointed with this rc.

Awesome XL Looks!
The Savage XL definitely looks the part of the massive monster truck! The extended wheelbase is the perfect evolution of the Savage design, and the extended chassis and larger tires are a perfect match for the new, bigger ‘GT Gigante’ body!

The wide front grill and huge headlights of the GT Gigante body merge with the flared wheel arches front and rear for a huge ‘wow factor,’ adding to the impression of huge size and strength! The large Terra Pin tires fit the body perfectly for a scale monster truck look that’s sure to intimidate the opposition at your local bashing arena! But the Savage XL isn’t about just looking great, the HPI designers went all-out to make sure it performs as good as it looks!

Aaah, the sound of silence!
The new E-Maxx (2008) is a much improved version of Traxxas' electric monster. New for 2008 is a "stretched" chassis that lengthens wheelbase by an inch, making it more stable at speed, the two battery bays are angled inward and down toward the truck's centerline, adding to the stability factor as well. The EVX-2 ESC is now waterproof, and the receiver box is sealed, making water and mud puddles a non-issue.

The transmission is also new, with beefier gears to withstand brushless motors and LiPo batteries. It's also smaller, because Traxxas deleted the second gear feature (they offer a kit, if needed, with all the necessary parts to make the transmission a two-speed).

Steering is now done with two 2056 waterproof servos, with a bellcrank system that has captured rod ends to make steering more positive and much stronger than previous E-Maxxes.

Turn the E-Maxx over, and you'll see beefier chassis braces, and a new center skidplate (previously, you had to buy aftermarket center skids). The driveshafts are transplants from the Revo, and are very durable. All other parts are the same as previous E-Maxxes, so aftermarket parts are available (except for a couple of exceptions, noted below).

With 6 cell NiMh packs, the E-Maxx is good for 22 MPH. While this may seem slow, acceleration is peppy, and the E-Maxx will not disappoint. Add 7 cell stick packs, and you can add 4 MPH to it's top speed. Plug in 7.4 volt LiPo packs, and the speed jumps to 30 MPH, and wheelies are possible at speed! The new E-Maxx, oddly, does not come with a wheelie bar that is standard equipment in Traxxas' other Maxx trucks.

My own E-Maxx has been extensively modified, with a brushless motor and ESC, CVD outdrives, aluminum bumpers, and an aluminum front bulkhead. You cannot fit an aftermarket aluminum bulkhead in the rear, as the new chassis was lengthened in this area, and none (so far) will fit. Also, if you want to fit RPM suspension arms to the E-Maxx, you have to shave the ends of the steering bellcranks to clear them.

I used a 4.5T Novak HV brushless motor powered by Traxxas' own Velineon ESC, with two MaxAmps 11.1V 6000 Mah LiPo batteries wired in parallel, and this combo makes power by the trainload! I also replaced the stock wheels and tires with Proline 40 series Commando beadlocks and Big Joe tires, and combined with the new power curve, this truck is a true monster!

In closing, The new Traxxas E-Maxx far exceeds the previous versions, and is much more durable to boot! If you are in the market for an electric powered RC monster truck, the new E-Maxx is waiting!

Load of 4wd fun -- at a cost February 22, 2009
This is a very fun truck. It's incredibly durable, fast, and easy to work on. However, be prepared to spend some cash to buy good batteries and a charger. If you purchase cheap 6-cell batteries (the truck requires dual battery packs), don't expect much run time or the overabundance of power and performance that you see in the videos. With a good set of 7-cell nimh packs (I'm running 5000 mah packs), on the other hand, you can see twenty minute run times that are an absolute blast. Keep in mind that, even with the addition of the optional extended battery hold-down from Traxxas, neither the standard or optional hold-down will slide over a 7-cell hump back pack, so make sure you buy flat packs with Traxxas connectors. I bought the hump back packs under advisement from Tower Hobbies and now I have to use zip ties to hold my batteries in. This truck is somewhat waterproof, not fully waterproof. If you do plan to run through water, take all four wheels off, disassemble the outer axle assemblies, and then pack both the inner and outer axle bearings with a lightweight grease. If you don't, the bearings will likely seize from corrosion and cause a loss of performance as well as drive shaft failure. Other than this, I haven't experienced any problems from this beast of a truck.

Product Description
Once again, Traxxas has broken new ground with unprecedented innovation and performance. The New E-Revo is the most advanced electric racing monster truck ever created.




The 6-time National Champion REVO is already the pinnacle of engineering in the Nitro arena and now E-Revo breaks open an entire new category that embraces today’s electric technology.Built from the start to be electric, E-Revo harnesses all the advantages that electric power brings to the race. The integrated battery compartments position the weight of the batteries as low and as close to the centerline of the chassis as possible. A smooth center skid plate adds strength and beauty while it shields critical driveline components. The low center of gravity, balanced weight distribution, and incredible torsional rigidity yields the best handling Revo platform ever. The proven 16.8 volt EVX-2 power system delivers massive torque through twin Titan 550 motors. Always looking ahead, Traxxas engineers made E-Revo truly brushless ready with a driveline that’s been proven tough for durability at the extreme with brutal 50+mph 6S LiPo power and custom brushless motors from the aftermarket. The unique battery compartments are easily scalable with built-in features to adapt for multiple battery configurations. A separate motor plate was engineered for a clean, low-slung single motor installation. Of course, E-Revo retains all the benefits of the exclusive linkage based suspension system including the most suspension travel possible, tunable progressive damping, independent ride height adjustment, and the absolute highest level of control for any situation. Hard-anodized Teflon coated shocks with TiN shafts, and dual digital waterproof steering servos have been added to further sharpen the handling. Off the racetrack, E-Revo is our most recent model to be equipped with exclusive fully water-sealed electronics. Only Traxxas makes it possible to run through water, mud, snow and other wet conditions

Features
     - Amazing new chassis design with integrated dual battery compartments
     - Quick release battery doors
     - Battery cooling vents
     - Scalable battery compartments from sport packs to brutal 6S LiPo power
     - Smooth center skid plate shields the driveline






Customer Reviews
Long awaited and well received!
Since the introduction of the nitro Revo back around 2005, lots of folk wondered when Traxxas would release an electric version. That wait is over, as the new E-Revo is here!

This new monster is very nearly all-new! the only bits that it shares with the nitro Revo are the front and rear suspension assemblies (which are a groundbreaking design, STILL!). Everything between them has been re-thought, and along with the new rear wing and body. Even the wheels are new! Under the body, there is a two brushed motor design, sealed, waterproof receiver box and ESC, and even the steering servos are sealed. What all this means is the E-Revo can be blasted through water and mud puddles without fear of electrical failure!

The EVX-2 ESC and twin Titan motors put out good power, and have a top speed of 22 MPH. While this may not appear very fast, it's all about acceleration. The new E-Revo is pretty zippy in that department, and should supply all the necessary thrills with every pull of the throttle trigger!

The Revo's suspension deserves special mention, as it is waaay ahead of the competition. No one as yet has released a superior suspension design. The new E-Revo can be driven in places that would up-end any other monster truck (including Traxxas' other trucks!). The E-Revo just soaks up big jumps and landings, turns with more control and makes very rough ground seem nice and smooth.

This truck just begs to be modified! There are numerous parts houses that are releasing aftermarket parts for the E-Revo as I write this. My own E-Revo has received the parts makeover! On went a new brushless motor and ESC combo that has increased the E-Revo's top speed by 25 MPH, and a number of more durable suspension parts as well as new wheels and tires. Another great thing about the E-Revo is that when fully loaded with all the aforementioned parts and two high current LiPo batteries, the truck is lighter than either the nitro Revo and the new E-Maxx (I have the same motor and ESC combo in my E-Maxx, and the E-Revo out-accelerates it)!

There are some who will race the new E-Revo, and with a few (VERY few) tweaks, the E-Revo will be a weapon at your local track. Now here's the best part, the new E-Revo is roughly $150.00 to $200.00 cheaper than the nitro version (in this day and age, can't argue with THAT!). Though you will have to purchase two battery packs and a good charger to get it going out of the box, it sure beats the cost of nitro fuel and an abundance of glow plugs that you would have to buy for a nitro truck in the long haul.

The new E-Revo is the best monster truck and value available anywhere. It does everything better than any other monster truck out there, can be raced with little effort, is a great basher, and is more affordable to boot! I have been a long time Traxxas fan, and this truck is the best reason why!

Basher's Delight
I'll cut straight to it. If money is a concern then R/C is not for you.

That said the eREVO is worth every dollar!
This thing is durable! I spent 2 weeks looking at reviews and video's and the end result is that when you compare an RC you are comparing to the eREVO. They all come back to ??? vs eREVO.

Save your self some trouble get an eREVO.

I could review the tech but you can look those up. I'll tell you how I use it.

First, I run my eREVO stock on 7 Cell 4200 batteries. I've used the supplied spring in the box to stiffen the suspension. And I've raised the A-ARM to the highest setting from stock.
That is the extent of what I have done.

How do I run it:
We have a hard granite field with a looser top soil with about a 15 foot drop in it where a dried out lagoon would be in rainy season. We run full speed dives with the truck off the edge. *BIG AIR* It lands and rolls (sometimes) and about 50% of the time lands upright. We then turn it around and run it up and out. My previous Truggy broke an A-arm EVERY time we ran. This thing doesn't even glance at the hill.
Additionally, we deal with rain gulley's up to about 2 feet deep that we like to run across, no jump required just alot of speed. But if you don't make it your basically running the truck into a dirt wall.

So how's it hold up?
I've had to replace one part in 15 runs. I showed off to some friends that it would do wheelie's on asphalt and during that time the torque from the motor twisted and broke a yoke on the rear drive train.
$5 to replace and about 10 minutes with the included tools and I was back running.

I can't stress this enough. This thing takes a beating! I'm not running speed runs on concrete. I'm running off road 2-15 foot jumps at top speed which is about 20+ stock. This thing rolls bounces and basically shakes regularly.

Comparison:
So I can compare it to two vehicles that are entry and the Revo 3.3 Nitro. This is how it breaks down.

Entry Truggy:
Out classed. Truggy is fun and if your going to race on a bouncy track with smooth surfaces it's going to be alot of fun learning to drive. Don't expect it to be durable, it's not. You will break alot of front end parts. eREVO... won't turn as sharp but will be laping the truggy after it has gone back for new parts.

Traxxas Slash:
This is a really good entry truck and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to start the hobby. That said when you put it next to the eRevo your smaller, slower and more prone to flip. Durability is pretty good but as you tune it up you break more. So when your going same speed and things as a eREVO you prolly should have bought the eREVO first.

Revo 3.3:
This is the real comparison. I start with the obvious Nitro is a maintenance thing (you'll either love it or not). Let's talk performance.
These vehicles are now basically the same just different power plant. So the difference, torque! the "E" will beat the 3.3 every time off the line. the Nitro is actually faster at 50 ft but the spin up makes it not as good on short burst runs. I'm sure you can again "tune this" but eREVO is this out of the box. Other than this difference your not going to see much. I've heard that Nitro is more expensive... I haven't seen it!

Costs:
Don't be fooled by the price of the car (any electric) Figure out the cost of the batteries and charger.
A base running config for the eREVO is going to cost:
$450 eREVO
$130 Batteries($65 x2) 7 cell
$40 charger (single battery- Figure $70 for a dual charger)

Base cost to run $620 and your going to want another set of batteries as this will only get you 20 minutes usually.

So the summary:
The ERevo is a fun but expensive vehicle that will take nearly everything your going to push at it from a basher's perspective. Your going to spend heavily for the batteries but then your going to run without issues. There is next to no maintenance, compressed air on the engines after the dusty runs (or wet)

I run this thing 5 days a week at lunch (4 batteries) I run with 2 others that have Slash and Revo 3.3 we all enjoy it but the Nitro Revo's are constantly being tuned. They lose the idle setting, they stall, bad glow plugs. If you enjoy that then it's no big deal.
Personally, I like to drive mine!

This is the sweetest R/C I have ever seen! The head lights light up and when the battery is low the head lights blink so my son knows it is time to recharge. It is so durable that we take it outside to climb the dirt hills. I also have to mention it just looks cool!

I bought this for my 4 year old for Christmas. He has had cars in the past and can be petty tough on toys. He loves it!!! Getting the battery into the car was a little tricky (because of the water proof-ness) but it lasts longer than others. Steers great (he is experienced with controls for his age), he loves the headlihts and it ru over all the piles of cars he makes. Great Value!

My 9 year old asked for a really cool RC car - and this is it. On-road or off-road, splashing thru puddles and thru the yard, it does what it claims to do. It is a bit of a pain to charge since you have to take a cover off to get to the battery, and the charge doesn't last as long as the desire to play does. But an extra battery already on charge solves everything! We are looking into other KidGalaxy items for next time!

Customer Service is great February 20, 2009

FatBrain toys. I bought two of these for my boys and after waiting, ever not so patiently, for the battery to be charged, the oldest was not able to make it go ahead. I emailed this company and was given exceptional customer service. Sending out a new one, no questions asked and no charge.
