CJ's Traxxas E-Revo Brushless Edition Project

A mostly stock E-Revo 1.0 Brushless Edition i built from a roller and parts i got from eBay and Amazon

General RC Information

This is my Traxxas E-Revo 1.0 Brushless Edition i got as of June 2026 and build up using a roller i bought for $225 before tax and shipping then bought parts, ESC\Motor and batteries but i spent around $600 building this truck and restoring it. I got into these E-Revo's when i watched Jang\Ultimate RC's videos and Jason Perrin's E-Revo BL Edition video and kind fell in love with these trucks afterwards. I also washed the truck down since it was dirty and needed a good wash before installing my electronics.
