Fun new Mini E-revo

[Scott Parsley]

I've been getting a little bored with my 2.2 crawler lately so when my girlfriend asked what I wanted for Christmas I said a gift cert. from Tower Hobbies. She thought that was silly but wasn't surprised. Now I get to play with this. It's a 1/16 Traxxas E-revo vxl. First brushless r/c for me and I'm super stoked on it.

What body is that? I like it!
I hate the body on my mini E-Revo.

That's a Pro-Line Baja Bug 1/18th

I detested the body that comes with the Mini E-Revo. I wanted something that reminded me of the R/C cars I had when I was a kid not some futuristic truck thing.

Here's a shot of it clean and new. It does not look this good anymore.

How is it attached? I don't see any body posts sticking up from your car.

Velcro holds it on. Got some on the Batt. doors and on the front body mount. I don't use body clips on any of my R/Cs. The velcro has drawbacks though. It peels the paint off the body over time and if I roll the car, chances are the body is going to come off. I still like it better that clips though.
