    With this high quality buggy you are guaranteed to hit high speeds when driving. The acceleration of this buggy is very impressive and equipped with a responsive and reliable brake system; you will not need to worry about stopping when hitting high speeds.
    The buggy is set up with a 2.4GHz radio system with high performance - 17000 rpm engine and a special clutch system.


    The whole car has been built with quality in mind. Aluminium chassis, aluminium alloy parts like spur gear, aluminium suspension, 2.4Ghz radio equipment and the 26cc high performance engine gives this model massive amounts of power and torque propelling the model up to speeds of 80 km/h (56 mph).
    Unlike a nitro car, the petrol radio controlled car runs on a mix of normal unleaded petrol and 2 stroke oil. Both of these are available from any petrol station which makes them more practical and cheaper to run than a nitro model. Mixing the petrol is very easy as included in the package is a mixing bottle. You simply pour in some unleaded petrol up to the marker on the bottle and then top up to the second marker with the 2 stroke oil. This oil is usually found inside petrol stations with the other oils.
    If you look at other 1:5 scale petrol radio controlled cars on the market you will see even though they are more expensive they usually don't include everything you need and you have to go out and buy your own radio equipment, special 1:5 scale steering servo, electronics battery pack and charger. With the YAMA BUGGY package everything you need is included, even a high capacity rechargeable battery pack with UK charger and a tool kit with all the tools needed to maintain the buggy, this makes our packages the best on the market.

This officially licensed special-edition race replica features the unmistakable Ken Block/Monster Energy graphics of Ken Block's full-size Ford Fiesta competition car. Beneath the bodywork, Traxxas' race-proven technology, full-time 4WD, and tire-spinning brushless horsepower thread the needle through the course with scalpel-like precision.

Traxxas E-Revo, Brushless with 2.4GHz

The World's Most Powerful, Ready-To-Race®
Brushless Electric Monster Truck!

Built For Brushless

What Traxxas have to say...

We built the E-Revo for 6S brushless power right from the start. For other companies, brushless ready means just making some nominal provisions for battery and motor installation and letting the aftermarket develop the upgrades necessary to make it survive. Not Traxxas. We heard the call for more power so E-Revo was tested tough for durability with brutal 6S LiPo power and intense custom wound brushless motors. For the uninitiated, this extreme 65+mph motor and battery combination is ordinarily a predictable recipe for a box full of twisted and mangled parts. Not so with the E-Revo Brushless Edition. E-Revo’s driveline has been engineered to endure the kind of horsepower and punishment that’s possible with today’s motor and battery technology. It looks factory because it is factory, complete with a separate motor plate for clean, low-slung single motor installation.

This truck is the business, check our website for all technical details and you'll be impressed just as we were with the Traxxas E-Revo Brushless truck
