Traxxas introduce updated E-Revo monster truck

Coming soon from Traxxas is their updated E-Revo electric monster truck that received some subtle changes to further improve power, speed and strength. The truck features a new Maxx-Spec driveline that was inspired by the larger X-Maxx truck with the E-Revo sporting a sturdy all-metal drivetrain with reinforced diffs, gears and driveshafts. Also new for the 2019 E-Revo is self-righting ability that, with the simply press a button on the transmitter, in most circumstances, will bring the truck back on its wheels in just seconds. Armed with a fortified drivetrain, E-Revo’s VXL-6s power system now pounds out more tire-scorching motivation than ever before, all the way to more than 110km/h or 70mph. Advanced design and sophisticated microprocessor control make this the most punchy and reliable high-voltage VXL power system ever. Other features include new, larger Talon EXT wheels and tyres, new, beefier suspension arms, and more.
