Traxxas sets the standard for power, performance and innovation. Now, for the first time, all the speed, quality and capability you expect from Traxxas is available in 1/16 scale with the new 1/16 E-Revo VXL. At 14 inches long, E-Revo VXL is about half the size of the 1/10-scale E-Revo. But don't call it a "mini"—this is a whole new category of R/C performance and fun that no mere mini-model can match. Beneath the factory-finished polycarbonate shell, you'll find the winning suspension technology of the seven-time National Champion Traxxas Revo, screaming Velineon brushless-motor power, and the convention-busting innovation of the E-Revo.

Class-Leading Speed


Some mini-models are "fast for a mini." That's not good enough for Traxxas. The 1/16 E-Revo VXL is just plain fast. At 30+mph with the included 6-cell NiMH battery, E-Revo VXL is nearly twice as fast as most mini models, and faster than most electric RTR trucks of any scale. Install a second 6-cell battery to unleash the Velineon Brushless Power System's full fury, and E-Revo VXL jumps to over 50mph—all with proven-safe NiMH packs. No other RTR truck, regardless of scale, makes it so easy and affordable to experience this level of high speed and wheelie-popping power.

Velineon Brushless Power

All-new and built specifically for Traxxas 1/16 scale models, the VXL-3m speed control and Velineon 380 motor represent the latest in brushless technology. Fully LiPo compatible with low-voltage detection for 2S and 3S packs and rated for 6-12 NiMH cells, this potent, powerful combo gives E-Revo VXL precise throttle control and blistering top speed. Patent-pending Training Mode lets new drivers hone their skills at 50% throttle. When drivers' ed is through, full power and 50+mph is unleashed with a touch of the EZ-Set button. Big speed requires big horsepower, so E-Revo VXL and Slash 4WD VXL carry the largest motor in the "mini" category. The Velineon 380 is built to the same no-compromise specs as the Velineon 3500 found in Traxxas' 70+mph 1/10 scale VXL models. High-speed ball bearings. Sintered rotor. Neodymium magnets. Gold plated 3.5mm connectors. It all adds up to 50,000 rpm of pure power and track-searing speed!

Precision 2.4GHz Control Radio System

With the TQ 2.4GHz radio system, you just switch on a drive. There are no channels or frequencies to manage, so the focus is on having fun. The TQ’s ergonomic design is comfortable for all-day driving, and its sleek lines are enhanced by an internal antenna that is impervious to damage. 

Waterproof Electronics For No-Limits R/C Excitement

Precision 2.4GHz Control

With the TQ 2.4GHz radio system, you just switch on a drive. There are no channels or frequencies to manage, so the focus is on having fun. The TQ’s ergonomic design is comfortable for all-day driving, and its sleek lines are enhanced by an internal antenna that is impervious to damage. 

Traxxas High-Current Connectors

The Velineon Brushless Power System comes equipped with the Traxxas High-Current Connector. Designed to handle high-current applications, the Traxxas Connector effortlessly funnels the battery's total power to the electronics, keeping things running cool and at full capacity.

Ball-Bearing Transmission With Slipper Clutch

1/16 E-Revo VXL's high-efficiency, heavy-duty transmission is built for brushless power. An adjustable slipper clutch lets you tailor power delivery to suit the terrain and your driving style, and precision ball-bearings make certain every watt of Velineon power is turned into pure speed.

Sealed Silicone-Filled Differentials

An industry first! Only Traxxas offers the superior power-handling and tuning capability of sealed differentials in 1/16 scale. The heavy-duty, steel-gear diffs are factory-filled with premium silicone fluid to prevent unloading and maintain maximum traction and control. It's a Traxxas innovation you won't find on any other mini-model.

Pivot Ball Suspension

1/16 E-Revo VXL features pivot-ball suspension for smooth suspension articulation and easy adjustment. Rubber-sealed ball bearings ward off dirt and debris as they increase precision and reduce friction, and the oversized 8x12mm inboard bearings maximize durability. For extra security, the heavy-duty axle carriers are designed so the universal-joint axles' crosspins are captured by the inner bearings—another example of Traxxas' attention to every detail.

Universal-Joint Driveshafts

1/16 E-Revo VXL is fully equipped with telescoping, universal-joint axles for optimum drivetrain efficiency and maximum power transfer. The true-curvilinear spline design operates freely, and the oversized U-joints set the standard for strength and high-power durability.

Waterproof Electronics

Mud. Water. Snow. 1/16 E-Revo VXL's waterproof electronics and fully sealed receiver box let you make tracks in conditions that leave other trucks parked at home. Traxxas' innovative, ground-breaking waterproof receiver box puts 1/16 E-Revo VXL in a league of its own. The antenna and servo wires route neatly through a special watertight seal (patent pending). To protect the receiver from dust and water a custom shaped blue O-ring seals the receiver box. Thanks to the unique design, the receiver can be removed for service and even aftermarket receivers can be used, without losing the sealing properties of the box.

Digital High-Torque Waterproof Steering Servo

Small but powerful, the 1/16 E-Revo VXL's 2080 servo cranks out 41.7 oz.-in. of tire-turning torque with digital circuitry for responsive control—even in water, mud and snow, thanks to its o-ring-sealed waterproof construction.

All-Terrain Tires & Wheels

Each corner of the 1/16 E-Revo VXL is equipped with soft-compound Talon tires that are mounted and pre-glued on impressive 53mm Gemini chrome wheels. 12mm mounting hexes open the door to additional wheel and tire combos to tune traction for specific surfaces—even foam tires for carpet racing.

Dual Battery Compartments

1/16 E-Revo VXL already blows the rest away with its 30+mph out-of-the-box speed using the included 6-cell Power Cell NiMH battery pack—but that's just the beginning of 1/16 E-Revo VXL's speed story. The chassis' dual battery compartments let you add a second NiMH battery pack and Traxxas series connector (both sold separately) for 14.4 volts of power. Install the included "speed pinion," and top speed jumps to 50+ mph. All of this incredible performance comes with safe, inexpensive NiMH power!

Traxxas Power Cell Series 1 NiMH Battery Pack

The 1/16 E-Revo VXL is fully assembled and Ready-To-Race with an included Power Cell NiMH battery and charger. Designed specifically for the high-power needs of the Velineon brushless system, this potent pack features heavy-duty construction, 16-gauge wires and Traxxas' exclusive High-Current Connector for efficient power transfer, run after run. A convenient wall charger is also included. Everything you need to power-up is in the box.

Quick-Release Battery Doors

1/16 E-Revo VXL uses an innovative solution for easy battery installation. Quick release doors snap open and closed in seconds for fast and easy battery loading. There are no clips to lose in the field and the potential for fast battery changes during pit stops opens the door for a whole new class of electric truck racing.

Battery Cooling Vents

Artfully designed intakes and exits allow cooling air to circulate through the battery enclosures to lower the temperature of the batteries for maximum run-time and "punch." Nothing was overlooked in carrying over all the design innovation of the E-Revo into 1/16 scale.

Progressive Rate Travel

With over 50mm of suspension travel, 1/16 E-Revo VXL offers the most articulation possible for bump and jump handling capability that leaves other trucks far behind. Tunable progressive damping rates, independent ride height adjustment, and the absolute highest level of control for any situation put Traxxas 1/16-scale models far ahead of the pack.

Oil-Filled GTR Shocks

1/16 E-Revo VXL's super-smooth oil-filled shocks damp the suspension and maintain control no matter how rugged the terrain. They are fully tuneable and include pressure bladders for air/oil separation and threaded spring pre-load collars for quick ride height adjustments.

Revo-Spec Suspension

A defining feature of the E-Revo, expertly executed in 1/16 scale—the unique Revo-Spec suspension geometry provides true progressive rate performance that's light over the small bumps and tightens when compressed to resist bottoming out over large jumps. Spring and damping rates increase automatically for small-bump compliance without compromising shock-absorbing performance for big hits.

ProGraphix Painted Bodies

The 1/16 E-Revo VXL's fully trimmed and painted ProGraphix body is available in Red, Blue, Black, and Silver themes. Decals are also applied to save you time and get you driving just minutes out of the box. Traxxas' ProGraphix bodies are the hottest looking bodies around and are only available on Traxxas Ready-To-Race models.

High-Downforce Wing
1/16 E-Revo VXL's streamlined design incorporates Formula 1 styling and functionality. The rugged rear wing's extra downforce enables positive rear traction in any situation and steady, controllable flight over jumps.

Rubber-Sealed Ball Bearings

Precision rubber-sealed bearings offer the ultimate in low-friction performance and maximum protection in dirty environments. They are used in all exposed locations on the truck and are virtually maintenance free.

Hex Hardware

Pro-quality, high-grade, metric hex-drive hardware is used throughout for extra strength, and easy maintenance and repair. The black-oxide rust-resistant finish provides a high tech-look and feel.
