Traxxas Tubes Aluminum Turnbuckles
Traxxas innovation strikes again with the introduction of Traxxas Tubes aluminum turnbuckle toe links for Revo. Traxxas Tubes are 30% lighter than the stock steel toe links, plus they’re 4-times stiffer and more than double the strength of aftermarket titanium! Simply put, these are the strongest toe links you can buy for your Revo. The secret is in the unique patent-pending hollow tube design that maximizes stiffness and resistance to bending, while at the same time reducing weight. Plus, the beefy size tells everyone your Revo means business. Traxxas Tubes are manufactured from high-grade 7075-T6 aluminum and anodized brilliant fire red. To prevent marring the finish, a metric aluminum wrench is included for adjustment. The broad center nut makes it easy to line up the wrench for fast, trackside tuning. A handy machined groove on one end easily identifies the left hand threads.
Traxxas 7.2volt Villain
The new Villain from Traxxas is the next generation of this best-selling, 7.2-volt, deep-V off-shore racer. The Villain is powered by the all-new XL-10™ Marine water-cooled electronic speed control. It features 3 drive profiles, reverse, one-button setup, and thermal shutdown protection. It’s housed along with the other electronics in a sealed radio box for trouble free, all-day running. Dual Stinger™ 540 modified motors, combined with dual steerable outdrives and hi-performance counter-rotating props, give the Villain extra punch, stability, and impressive top speed. The proven 31-inch deep-V hull slices through rough water that leaves hydros parked at the dock. The Traxxas Villain is so feature-packed with power, performance, and fun, that it’s hard to believe how affordable it is. Plus, it delivers long run times from a single, economical 7.2V battery pack. The Villain is fully assembled and Ready-To-Race©, so it’s ready to launch just minutes out of the box for fun R/C boating action.
Available at hobby stores everywhere, April 2005!

T-Maxx Differential Shimming
Whats Needed:
- 6×9x.5 Teflon shims (# 3981)
- Tools to remove the diffs from the truck
Lets Begin:
Obviously, you need the diffs off the truck and fully disassembled. Clean all grease and/or oil off of all parts. You need to shim while the parts are “dry” so the grease isn’t adding false width here and there.
From here on, I’ll assume you’ve cleaned everything and have it all apart. Also, you will need a bag of 3981 (6×9x.5 Teflon shims). You can use thinner steel shims, but I didn’t and it worked out fine.
