Sorry if this has been asked and answered before here or elsewhere. But a 3.3 Revo with a center diff still has the 2-speed tranny( Or atleast I am almost sure it does). Anyway,I am thinking of getting one and turning it into a truggy. Seeing I have yet to see a single speed tranny for the Revo. Can I still enter it in the truggy class or will I be stuck in with the other monster trucks.
I have seen that Slayden has run his 3.3 revo with the truggy's but every track has it own rules.

u can run it in the truggy class, but u will probably be at a disadvantage, buy a truggy and race in the truggy class.

No clue as to the rules at LH, but if you want to run with truggies, get a truggy, a revo really wont keep up

yes, with the center diff, you still have the 2-speed tranny feature

but, with the center diff

you will need:

The last 2 links are only needed with the old 2.5 Revo, the 3.3 will bolt on with the center diff and rear brake kit

It still stays in with the MT class, as far as RCPS rules.

I saw slayden say that the 3.3 kept close with the truggy's. Running laps within a second or so of the leaders. Granted,that is not leading. But with him saying that. Not bad for that motor.
I only ask because I have driven a buggy and I was just not able to really get into it. Maybe I am to comfortable with the revo. But wouldnt a truggy drive and ride like a buggy basicly? Or would it feel like a revo,just lower to the ground.

truggy will fell more like a buggy since a truggy is based of a buggy platform. Revo to a truggy is completely different.

Slayden's revo is far from a stock revo and you have to remember he is a top driver. He was probably comparing lap times but a few seconds a lap in a half hour main equals quite a few laps down.

Truggy does not drive like a buggy. It is more forgiving as far as bump and jumps go which will make it easier to drive than a buggy for most people. Differential tunning is the same so you can set it up like a buggy by changing the diff oil weight of all 3 diffs for turn-in speed and cornering characteristics.

I understand he is a pro. And yes,-1sec lap times do add up. But we are not pros here LOL. I was just shocked that a .20 3.3 in a revo which was not all that different from stock(besides set back arms and other normal revo upgrades) did that well.

That is where I am getting this from.
But is LH says I cant race it,then I will just spend the money on a truggy. Why have 2 revos at the race track lol

Yeah, truggy is so much different from a revo, which is also different from buggies lol...I felt like in AT I could just smack the gas and the truck would grip up and go where I wanted to, and in MT I had to baby the throttle or I'd lose grip somewhat and get off course. And buggy I didn't drive long enough on the track to have a valid opinion, but when I drove my friends it was more similar to the AT, where you could get on the gas more.

Around these parts, a revo will get smacked pretty good trying to keep up with the local AT drivers.

I'm one of the faster MT drivers in the area right now, and even I know I can't touch these arena trucks.

It will be cheaper to just buy truggy versus modding and building up a revo to be competitive.

My friend says screw it and get a lightning pro. I enjoy the revo and how it handles. And with the center diff/rear break. Who knows. I have driven a buggy before. A violator,and I didnt really like how the ride was. Fast,yes. But just how it handled the bumps and such was not for me. Maybe to used to the revo and just not enough time driving the buggy. But that is my worry. Drop all that money on a truggy and get the same feeling. I doubt I would have that problem with the revo and I can still run it lowered with the right rockers/oil/springs. But as I said before,if even with the center diff I am not going to be able to run with the truggy class(LH racing or elsewhere) then why bother. I just wanted to be sure that if I did show up with that revo set up to run in the truggy class. I would be able to. Dont want to drop all that money just to have 2 revos there but only able to race 1.

So then if truggy is the best(or only) way to go. Hot bodies Pro or Pro-R good to go with,or any other ideas. I know the CRt is a nice pick also.

do you sell caskets? or work for Batesville

If I had the money, I'd go CRT, not the RTR one, the kit.

I would say get a truggy, It is like buggy in set ups. But like Rob said with the longer suspension and bigger tires it is way more forgiving then a buggy. It seems the Mt class at LH and other tracks is dying down. Reason being I thik is that it is seen as a newbie class. These are made for a guy that can bash in his back yard but then still go to the track. Where as your truggies and buggy are purposely built for a track. Yes you have some that bash with them, but they are intended for the track.

I would look into a Jammin Crt or the Kyosho truck. The hotbodies is a great truck ( I had one) but it takes alot to get it up to par. The Crt Pro pretty much comes all hopped up and ready for the track.
