Title: the revo has landed
georgeatos - February 2, 2010 12:08 PM (GMT)
i mentioned around a month ago that i was after a revo 3.3 well it arrived today i bought it off fleebay about 10 days ago it needs stripping down and cleaning as it got mud and crap allover.
also i thought the revos had reverse ? mine doesnt seem to have this... mines model 5309
all i need now is the alias rear tyres for my rustler so i can take the crappy anaconda's off
heres a few pics

i wouldnt part with my rustler now its a great model and loads of fun with the rear end snaking allover the place
im glad i got rid of the menace 21 to get the revo allthough the menace was stupidly quick it didnt put a smile on my face like the rustler does or like the revo did this morning in my local woods :D
Marc.. RC Addict! - February 2, 2010 05:42 PM (GMT)
yeh mate dont blame you, i think the rustler is one of the best looking st's around and being traxxas you dont have to worry about quality :clap:
the revo and t-maxx are beasts, they handle nearly everything you throw at it, ive had my t-maxx 4 years now and its still going strong. got to love 4wd for massive off-roading B)

I've got a rustler, and what a hoot it is. Can't beat fighting a 2wd car.
russmini - February 2, 2010 08:20 PM (GMT)
Yeh... Another Revo !!!!!
And a 3.3, although to be honest, mine isn't anymore... Far from it actually... :D
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Menance 21's are great but you cannot get hold of them at all now since Schumacher discontinued them.
Its a shame now because everyone wants one now and ebayers are charging more than you can sell it for so everyone has caught on to the need.
I have messed about with a menace 21 but not a revo Yet :( so it would be good to compare them.

Now then, you've either copied mine, from my Sig pic, which as they say imitation is the best form of flattery, or....
You've found out where I live and Robbed mine... Best check later...
:D

ive got it on a pullstart the ez-start didnt stand a chance of turning it over with the amount of compression even now after a few tanks im having to loosen the plug to pullstart the thing.
new shell and a tuned pipe next B)
russmini - March 25, 2010 07:25 PM (GMT)
Nah, mines got an Orion .28 in, with tuned race pipe. Oh and that goes down the side, not the back.
'tis a bit of an animal, need to get it back together again and PLAY !!!!!!!!
:clap: :clap: :clap:

Yeh, it is a bitch, because the manifold needs to be slightly wider. I cut mine and had a bit welded in ;)
And the front screw that holds the radio tray in, if you undo it slightly, then bend the wire around that and tighten it back up, you can then bend to suit to hold the front of the pipe ;)
I also cut the shell out, save's it melting once the pipe gets proper hot and melting all over it...
:thumbs_up: :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:
