Thats what she said :lol:



Well I have come to realize that my rear suspension is definately too soft, the rear compresses wayy too much, hopefully i can get firmer springs at the track, so the ass of my truck is not all loosey goosey:yes:

Alrighty time for a bit of an update :)


Took the revo to the track this weekend and had to work out all of the bugs that any new truck goes through.. screws backing out, and tweaking.. I ended up going with traxxas Blue springs in the rear which helped support the weight of the batteries motor etc, and i moved the original rear springs (green) to the front. Ride height was shafts level all the way around with a Front traxxas sway bar only and 60w oil. Truck handled phenomenally well, steering was very precise but had too much steering for the short wheelbase.. Dialed my dual rate down to 70% from 100. As for power.... haha do I have a story to tell...

During my second heat i got into a pretty heated battle with a guy in a Revo platinum edition, 4 or 5 laps we went at it, dicing and such, his truck was better setup then mine was and he could take all the washboard sections and rough stuff wayy faster- and he was a great driver to boot- he was a great pass blocker.... so anyways- were coming out of the washboard section before the 90 degree sweeper and the front strait, he dusted me through the whoops as i was rolling then-he was doubling them. once i hit the strait i through caution to the wind and gunned it, my truck came blasting by that poor little 3.3 like it was standing still(with the front wheels in the air :lol: ) i was past him before he hit second gear....

Whole lot of story even though it happened in about 5 seconds... I could here him down the other end of the stand saying "That cant be legal" :LOL: brushless FTW!



So taking the advice of the track guru's im purchased the revo 3.3 chassis (more wheelbase) to help my truck through the rough and keep the front wheels down, along with a clear 3.3 body. while im at it I am going to black the truck out, no more grey, or silver- to match my motor.. I was expirimenting with different paints earlier and came up with this... I think it looks sick (this is the spare 2.5R chassis)

Your grrrrr-eat!

I'm british what do you expect...

PS I also don't get to see your pics at work - so have no idea what your paint looks like...

Hey Brushlessboy, Google "Aluminum Anodizeing" and you should see few websites that explain in painful detail how to anodize at home. At the very least you'll find it interesting ?
Glad your enjoying your new revo, great trucks !

:lol:

Is Linc on the Left or Right ?
