Traxxas introduce new E-Revo VXL monster truck

Traxxas’ popular E-Revo monster truck has received a massive overhaul with the 2018 edition being considered faster and stronger than ever before. The truck builds on an innovative low centre of gravity chassis with major components such as batteries being placed as low and close to the centreline as possible. Key areas were targeted for added strength and rigidity, such as the battery compartments and bulkhead mounts while new front and rear top braces resist flex and further protect the inboard shocks.
