1. Tekno sway bars not traxxas all around

2. 3095 trans and ditch the stock trans....just make a small plate to mount it

3. titanium nitride shafts..if not on it already

4. RCM Revo hybrid diff kit

5. AL steering brace


I redid my Revo completely so it all boils down to how much you want to spend. If u are planning on running 6s, the stock diffs will need at least AL cups, inner and outer and re-shimming most likely

And WELCOME TO RCM!

[GoldenRevo]

thanks for the feedback. For racing i was planning on just going 4s. But thats not to say for bashing around I might not want to try out 6s

Do you have a link to the steering brace?

thanks

Of course I like the 2nd one... :) They are back ordered.

[GoldenRevo]

Well I ordered the Tekno Carriers today.

Last thing I am seriously thinking about is the diff kit. Expensive though...

Anyone know who actually makes it?

[GoldenRevo]

So no one knows who makes the RCM diff kit for them?

[grevo26maxx]

you could just put the lst diffs in it too!

[GoldenRevo]

Thanks.... But the thing I like with rcm diff kit is that is drop right in

no mod necessary.
