Disagree on the push rods - the black steel are more durable than the red aluminum - but no, they dont look as cool.
+1 on the variable rate dampening kit. Helped mine immensly. The E-Revo is also balanced a bit better than the converted Revo's, so you might not have as many issues dialing in your shocks - but just keep in mind that the Revo has been notorious for sag in the rear end. Like someone stated before - get some springs to dial in your setup.

I also have to disagree with you on the diffs - they are notoriously weak for the power most of us on here use. Yes, you can dial down your slipper so that you wont damage them, but that is akin to putting an egg under the accelerator on a top fuel car. Your choice - but I know what I'm gonna do - make scrambled eggs out of it!!!!


Losi 8T 1.0, Savage Flux - XL style, LST XXL, Muggy, 3.3 E-Revo Conversion and sitting outside 425hp, 831 Tq Dodge Ram Turbo Diesel. It SMOKES
