Been busy work has taken over my life again but have now got back on the wagon upgrading my Revo and put up pics more to come :thumbs-up:

Bought ST Racing Flywheel shoes as after careful deliberation the Picco needs this for better performance

Drilled 3 holes on the HR air filter as well as epoxy to get an air tight seal so I can use stock adapter

Haha really... I hate pull starts... If it does go I'll get a roto-back plate fitted anything to avoid a pull-start :)
 
Pushrods arrived :thumbs-up:

Installed Pushrods, Changed spring for firmer ones and re-installed wing/wheelie bar

Engine wouldn't kick in with ez-start so installed pull-start only for compression stopped pull-start recoiling back in so getting backplate so I can use my roto-start, I hate pull-starts so many issue's. Using stock exhaust temporarily just to break in engine.

Looking at buying RPM A-Arms and there are 2 types, not sure if the better option is to go for the extended or I presume the other is just standard stock size.
Whats the better option everyone is buying?
 
New pipe arrived yippee :celebrate:

Also throttle mix arm and backplate

I decided to epoxy the magnet to the ST Racing flywheel, as I like the idea of having the telemetry, epoxy can take a lot of heat combined with the cool air running through the vents may just work, only time will tell.

Picture to show what I did...

Upgraded to RPM A-Arms

First break-in... Heated engine with heat gun and ran like a charm :thumbs-up:

looks great ,well done mate!

Thanks chickenman... It actually looks really cool with the painted body and I had some phatline tires lying around which I'm using for now until I get black one's which I think will suit it better, here's a few pic's for now, will do another video doing the second break-in

I put the lrp .30 on my revo and I use a bump starter. It works great. I too absolutely hate pull starters especially on big blocks. If you already have the Roto back plate and stuff just my opinion bump starter works way better. Just my opinion.
 
Lookin good , hope to see a running vid

Will do rcaddic just got busy with family and work, can't wait to get it running myself :D

I'm actually a big fan of the bump starts myself, I have one for my previous RC which I'm thinking of modding to sit the Revo and I loved it it worked awesome with my other truck but I'm also very keen on getting a ROSS system on it but I'm told the Picco's kill the ez motor's
