If you're just getting into brushless:
If you're just looking to beat the stock Nitro Revo:
If you're just looking to beat all the Nitro boys:
Then PLEASE, learn what the limitations are of the drivetrain that you're dealing with.
The stock E Revo drivetrain is pretty strong, BUT.........
If you're going for the most power you can stuff into a Revo, plan on throwing a bunch of money at upgrading the diffs and the rest of the driveline too.
Check out the RC Monster store for some of the toughest Revo diffs around. I have a set. They are Tough!
Properly setup brushless power delivers torque that Nitro can't deliver.
Even a mild brushless setup will leave the Nitro Revo in it's dust.
A few suggestions:
1. Figure out what top speed you're looking for. This depends on what you're going to be doing with the truck.
A. Bashing - 40mph top speed is just fine for me. Best balance of wheelie popping torque and controllability
B. Racing - Top speed runs or track use? If track use is going to be the norm, let your decision be based on how long the track is, and how long the race is going to last. For top speed runs, the sky is the limit. I believe the fastest Monster Truck so far is pushing 80mph or so.
Best Bang for the buck? Get a Monster Combo from Castle Creations. Then get yourself some good Lipos.
