[BP-Revo]

I actually say stick with the stock knuckles and run Traxxas Hurricanes and Responses. Or, just run Dace. The RD ones are nice, but they limit your choices. With Dace, you can switch as you please.

I agree with squee on the MTR instead of 40 series.

However, I say the Ice is fine. Its a great charger.

I'd also say doubling up on the batteries. One charging/resting and one running. Cuts your wait time down significantly.

Spring wise, you will need something alot stiffer. I'd say start with the standard LT springs (silver/blue).

Instead of a DX3, I'd get a CRX with a Pro DSM (and Telemetry if you want it).

The CRX is an awesome radio (I have one). The Pro DSM has a faster response time (hey, why not - I have this too and I love it). DX3.0 is too flashy to me too. Almost distracting.

For your Power Supply, drop by Hobby people and pick up their ProPeak one. 20A for $60. For $80, you can get one that has dual outputs and gives a digital readout of what amps you are pulling. (PS. I've only ever gotten it up to 10A with my Ice charging 4S at 8A).

Forget all that Integy crap on your steering column. Its a waste of money, stock is fine. Also forget the shock mounts - stock is fine.

Also, forget RPM arms. Stock is fine (never broke one on my G2R or Revo 2.5R "knock on wood"). Until you break one stick with stock. Use the extended rear arms as well. Part 5333R btw...

Use a Pro-Line CP 3.3 body if you can...my Pro-Line body is nice and sturdy...you will need something sturdy for such a heavy truck on the track...

You are really underestimating the stock Revo parts. I'd say a stock Revo is already stronger than anymaxx except a supermaxx.
