Unfortunately, PROTOform (Pro-Line) discontinued it, so it is getting very hard to find. I don't know the part number, because I no longer have the header-card from the bag the body came in, but it is just a PROTOform HardDrive body for the Revo 3.3.

But you can't buy it :( Look on ebay or amain. I alos like the hardirve too. Thanks for the help Chadworkz! Now here's my question for you. Right now I have the MMM 2650kv motor with Turnigy 4s 5000mah 40cs. Think I'll still be able to pop soime wheelies without the first gear? I was alrerady thinking about taking out the 2nd gear because I don't really like the mechanical brakes, the ESC sits way too high (I'm going to move it to where the Brake servo used to sit, and it will shave off some weight. Think my gearing off 16T pinion, 36T spur, and close ratio second gear will be a a good setup? Right now it goes about 45 m.p.h. as it sits.

Look at the stock status, it's discontinued, so you can not order it, and you can't back-order it, because they don't have any more at all.

First, get rid of that 2650kV and get the 2200kV...the 2650kV is a buggy motor, and does not do well in truck/truggy/monster truck applications...it can actually cause problems, like taking out the ESC. The 2200kV is a truggy motor, producing much more torque and power, and is exactly what you need in a truck/truggy/monster truck.

You DO NOT want to remove 2nd gear, you want to lock the transmission into 2nd gear and then remove the 1st gear components. 16/36 is decent gearing, but you really need to swap that motor for the 2200kV motor. I personally run standard-ratio, but you can run whatever you want...close, standard, wide, whatever (but I recommend standard).

The 2.5 version is much too short for a Revo 3.3, and waaaay too short for an E-Revo, so it won't fit at all.

Maybe my LHS have some Harddrive in stock. If not, i may use the PL Slipstream.
But I think the Harddrive looks so mean with all that scoops, and the headlights! :) hihi

Got some good interest in selling my 2650kv motor today. What do you think about this gearing? Wide 2nd gear, 36T spur, 17T pinion, 2200kv mtor, 4 cell lipo, and badlands tires? Top spped shoudl be about 45 m.p.h.

Well, I finally got around to painting my body...even though I have been bashing it clear for a while, and you can tell, too!

Anyway, here she is (I haven't tinted the windows yet because the Fastint sucks monkey balls, so I have to get a different tint)...
