My new E revo (Evo)

[Sylvester]

14lbs on a revo is HEAVY! You gotta go on a diet! LOL!

[squeeforever]

I'm gonna aim for 9lbs. when I get to revamp my E-Revo V2.0, soon to be V3.0. I think I'm gonna use that as a basher and just build a G2R or BPP Revo for racing...Not sure yet.

[renny]

yes its xtremely heavy thats why im a basher and not racing.If I was racing then the EVO would have to spend at least a month at the JENI CRAIGE resort but for bashing I could care less.

I do have a question though in regards to weight....
Why would I be able to do wheelies in reverse and not forward? I`ll explain

I can mash the gas in forward and all I get is a slight lift then mash it in reverse to brake, it stops then I`ll mash it in reverse and it will flip over "ass backwards"
This is a bit of a puzzler because I have the PURPLE ( 36.5 lb/in ) shock springs in the rear and the truck is VERY back heavy. If anything I should be able to pull a wheely for ten blocks without breaking a sweat but when I go into reverse it pulls it as if there was nothing on the back, not even a feather.
lol

[renny]

he he he ha ha ha
forget about the question about the whole wheely issue.
It started to get worse and worse and I kept thinking to my self WTF???
untill it hit me THE SLIPPER @#%^ OPPS!!!
I checked it out and sure enough it came loose so..........
skippit lol he he he ha ha ha rolmao

@Larry - Those are stockers, right?
Have you guys seen the Vantage CF arms? They look Amazing.

They look incredible! They look even sexier than UE arms!!!

I'm saving my pennies for those babies!

[Sylvester]

How much are they by the way? I cant seem to find them anymore. They look like the BEST racing arms for the revo out there.

Nice! How does it drive?

A couple of suggestions though; your Deans plug (in 3rd pic) looks a little beat up. Also, if the metal on your trays is thick enough, you can countersink the screws so they won't wear into your batteries. What are you using for batteries?
