Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ Traxxas Revo

Just finished breaking in my new Revo. If you have not checked one out, go and do it. The truck blows me away with how it handles. I had driven a LST and misc T-maxxs, but none of them drive like a revo. I turns, jumps and stops better than any RTR I have ever seen. Roy, I hope to get a chance to get some of the great products you are building. Anyways I just felt like telling everyone how much fun I have had with this truck. Feel free to put set up tips or links on this thread.

i want to get one but i have to wait till feb-march to get mine

I have to say, I didn't really think MT's were all that great. Especially to watch race. When I saw Roy and Craig run their Revos it blew my mind. They are awesome. The last couple club races Revos are running with 8th scales................. and looking very fast, winning, and making 8th scales look a little clumsy. I got a chance to drive Brad's and it is spectacular, right out of the the box. I want a REVO!

I wonder if they are still going to try and get the truggies outlawed.......

That's awesome Brad!

They are very decent right out of the box. Another week and the parts will be ready.

USE TRAXXAS TOP FUEL or at least Byrons.

Roy

from what i have seen the revo is just as efficiant at whooping a$$ as truggies i think if anything there should be 2 mt classes expert and novis but that is my opinion not anyone elses and as for the truggies i watched roy at the mapston and he was doing really good against a guy who was running a kyosho kanai 3 with a truggy conversion. there is a good chance that i will get a new buggie in the spring and convert mu storm to an sut so i can get a little mt action myself.

Why not O'Donnell Roy. Seems to run well on it.

Roy, when are you going to hook me up with a starter box?

BTW, Traxxas has the best customer service.

Well if it is running well and is keeping cool then go for it.

I will assume that O'Donnell is not 100% synthetic?

I PM'd you about the starter boxes.

Roy

Did U get some Shock ends commin Brad ? I see they have the wrong part Number in the manuals for them.. 5649 is the corrct number for the good new ones.

when starter Boxes Roy ? !!! what else You have commin for revo's ? and when? I
have Cash in hand.

I ran Byrons, but switched to Traxxas fuel..dropped my temps a good 30 degrees at least. I also Only using traxxas plugs too..that seemed to help problems i had using Mccoys and OS plugs. I think the 2.5 Just wants alot of Oil and the 12% in the Byrons wasn't working good for me.

I did Brake a Lower front A Arm saturday..well i think JR did it on his test drive after the races..Didnt even notice it until i was doing a after race Clean up. So Thats 1st break besides them Dang Shock ends ( 5 and counting )

Aluminum shock rod ends will be done this week. Price will be $15.95 for 4 of them. They are made from 7075-T6 and will be anodized blue

The Quickturns (patent pending) will be done sometime next week.

Starter boxes are about 6 weeks away. The delay is for the motor assemblies coming from OFNA overseas, but will be worth the wait. The production models will be made from aluminum. Havent decided if they will be raw aluminum or anodized blue or offer both.

Roy

Roy is it the same electric motor assembly as the black ofna 1/10 scale boxes use? I believe two 540 motors? I ordered a new serpent starters box and so I will have a spare box.

Brian,

Yes it is.

Roy

Roy do you have any boxes made up without the guts? Im thinking as long as this serpent box is as good as it should be I will know this weekend I was going to sell/part it out/trade do something with it?
