| 1 16 E Revo VXL RC Car by Traxxas |
Suspension - the Revo-Spec suspension was engineered and designed with performance that is relatively light over small bumps, and tends to tighten when compressed to prevent the model from bottoming out when landing off larger jumps.
Suspension Travel -
Pivot balls on the suspension are utilized for easy adjustment and smooth suspension movement.
Sealed ball bearings shield against dirt and debris and reduce friction.
GTR Shocks - are oil filled and adjustable, designed to absorb the punishment, and keep the 1 16 E Revo VXL under control.
Note: the viscosity of the oil may need to be relatively heavy to get good handling on track or when jumping the model.
The tuneable shocks have threaded spring pre-load collars for adjusting ride height, also included on the shocks are air bladders, that are designed for air/oil separation.
Damping rates are tuneable, and independent of ride height adjustments, they are designed to assist with handling and control.
Brushless Motor and ESC - the 8 turn 4000 kv brushless Vileneon motor is designed to be maintenance free.
The rotor is balanced precisely, inside the case high temperature neodymium motor magnets have been included in the design, power is transferred through 3.5mm bullet connectors.
The Vileneon VXL 3m brushless Electric Speed Control is compatible with
LiPo battery packs, either 2 or 3 cell, ranging from ( 7.4 to 11.1 volts) ( Recommended battery type)
NiMH or NiCad battery packs from 6 -12 cells ranging from (7.2 to 14.4 volts)
Separate battery compartments are conveniently located on each side of the chassis, and include quick release battery doors and battery cooling vents.
30+mph out of the box with included NiMH battery.
50+mph with additional NiMH pack or LiPo battery setups.

Race Mode - Forward / Brake /
Transmission - the transmission was built to handle brushless power, with ball bearings throughout.
The slipper clutch is adjustable and allows you to set power transfer to suit your style and terrain.
Sealed Differentials - the diffs are heavy duty steel, and filled with a high-quality silicone fluid which prevents unloading while maintaining maximum control and handling. Note: Recommend you shim the diffs.
Universal Driveshafts - the fully equipped model includes telescoping universal driveshafts for efficient and maximum power transfer to the wheels.
The oversized driveshafts were designed with durability and strength to handle the Vileneon brushless power.
Sealed Electronics - the electronics onboard the 1 16 E Revo VXL are sealed from the elements, the components themselves are not waterproof but the cases they reside in are sealed.
The patented receiver box from Traxxas is designed to allow the servo and antenna wires to be neatly routed through a watertight seal.
O- rings protect the receiver from dust and water, the receiver is capable of being removed or upgraded without losing the integrity of the seal to the box.
The digital steering servo box is watertight and sealed with its o-ring seal type construction.
The E Revo 's 2080 servo puts out 41.7 oz.-in. of torque.

Body and Components - the 1 16 E Revo VXL comes pre-assembled with a ProGraphix body and pre-applied decals, so you can be up and running within minutes out of the box.
A wing for downforce adds a formula 1 type style, the wings downforce is designed to assist with rear traction, while controlling the model in the air when jumping.
PRO'S
Brushless Power and ESC (reduced maintenance)
Good Speed and Power (LiPo batteries recommended)
Durable - can withstand some punishment
Sealed Electronics
Readily available parts and upgrades
CON'S
Can be hard to handle due to its size and speed ( especially for a beginner) Tends to want to roll over while cornering.
FINAL THOUGHTS
With the proper gearing and battery setup the 1 16 E Revo VXL is extremely fast, almost to fast. Most users recommend LiPo batteries. May be a good idea to put a wheelie bar on it to keep it from flipping over backwards when pulling off wheelies. The model is durable and can withstand some serious bashing. It may take some time to get a handle on this one, but overall it is a good performer.
