good choice....the revo seems like a good all around choice...you will enjoy bashing...

seems to me that the revo doesn't need much upgrading. Any recommendations on what arms, rockers, and aftermarket shocks to upgrade to later on? I have the ones in the rc-monster and traxxas store...but just don't really know what brands to go with.

Also, which tuned pipe should i go with? traxxas resonator or vantage carbon? any others i am missing?

Trinity make a good pipe for it...i wouldn't bother with a Vantage or a Resonator.

The two i would look at are the Trinity and the CVEC.

Go for the Resonator. It seems to be the second to none. I have seen alot of professonal racers stick with the stock because the power band is so smooth. Which it is. If you want it though, I have a RD Logics pipe thats pretty good. I think its slightly better than the Trinity as far as power to be honest...As far as hop ups, aluminum shock ends are a must. The plastic get really got in the rear and create ALOT of slop. As for rockers, stick with the stock P2's. Pushrods and turnbuckles, I would go for the Traxxas 7075 red ones. JD Carbon suspension pins are a good investment as well. As for shocks in general though, the GTR shafts and Teflon coated bodies with aluminum ends are the best way to go and can't be beat.

Go with the muggy i just bought it and i love it.. it handles like a champ and will absorb any jump its crazy how sweet this thing is

i already purchased the revo and it's awesome. i was actually debating between the revo and muggy!

Honestly the stock one is good. I haven't run anything else, but i'm giving truggies headaches at my track
