Hey Guys,
As many of you know, I've been wanting to get a Revo for some time because I believe that the suspension setup is ideal for the way I want to dial in monster truck for Racing and some bashing, but mostly racing on my home track. I was getting ready to do a brushless conversion on my Savage, and I decided that the Revo was much better suited for the track, which is where I will primarily be running. A fellow member got a good deal on a complete RTR setup on a Savage X SS, just past break in, and I got what I wanted for it and am getting a Revo. I'm going to run nitro for a lil while and get used to it, and use it to take measurements. Since I have access to a complete machine shop with lathes and CNC machine, I might make my first foreray into custom RC fab with a brushless conversion, homebuilt from scratch. So I will use this Revo to take measurements, test fit pieces, things like that. I think I will be keeping the nitro and buying an E-Revo when they come out.
I bought a 2.5R revo that is brand new, never been driven. The guy bought it and started modding it and then never broke it in, decided he wanted something else. I was wanting to get a 3.3, but I really wanted to get an OS engine. This revo has a brand new OS 18 engine that has never been broken in. Basically, a guy did like Rolex, only on a much smaller scale, and then decided he didn't want an RC as bad as he thought he did. I picked it up for a song.
Could you guys reccomend some of the first modifications that I need to perform to get this thing fairly durable. Should I go ahead and get a starter box? I want something fairly easy to use, and I've never had a starter box so I need some guidance here. I will order the RPM A-Arms tonight, and I think I'm going to go with a 3.3 chassis as well for the length and added stability.
