Hi all, just bought a new Revo 3.3 and disassembled it out of the box in preparation to install .26 max jl red dot with plans to keep the ez start.
I've been doing alot of reading and wanted to dial in some specifics as I need to place an order. Hopefully you can help with your expertise!
Engine mount:
I've read and agree the New Era mount is best, and I assume since the .26 red dot is a direct bolt in, then the stock mount will work, and the new era mount is an exact billet replacement for strength. I've also heard it might not be available anymore. Anyone have some insight or suggestions? I need the slot for different gear changes.
Clutch:
I have an interest in the Buku clutch over the M2C with composite pads for it's adjustability and theory.
Is the 1/10th version is sufficient with this car/engine?
Any add'l thoughts?
Exhaust:
First off, I'd like to avoid a side pipe as I want to keep the easy start and prefer it to be tucked into the rear of the truck, however, there is no sense in doing this engine mod for more power if I choke it with a pipe.
I've got a couple of ideas. First off, obtain the big block adapter ring to accomodate the big block pipe. Use the THS rear setup for big blocks https://www.sitegidget.com/itechapp/...-products.html
or just get the manifold only https://www.sitegidget.com/itechapp/...-products.html and attach a Buku big block pipe, or an extreme RC mods pipe. I don't know if either of these will be to long and get in the way of anything though...hoping for factory fit. Since the consensus seems to be the side pipes are best, I am looking at potentially the buku with it's adjustability might allow me to tune it in to be as good as an off the shelf side pipe.
Has anyone tried using the THS header with a different expansion chamber (pipe) and/or can comment with their thoughts?
Which model Extreme RC mod pipe have others used?
Additional thoughts and comments are appreciated!
