Yes my opinion is based on experience. Steve Slayden ran an EB Modded TZ in a Ballistic Batteries extended Revo chassis in the truggy class this weekend and beat all of the BB LSPs, Kyoshos, etc. etc.
Here are the times http://www.johnnycoolguy.com/results...exp_A_Main.htm I'm bummed my buddy Dan Gavere didn't do better with his LSP. I pitted for him but that thing just wouldn't stay running. With one ounce of weight in the nose my Revo leaps like a gazelle. I was actually able to take the big air double more consistently than Slayden all weekend, I nailed it every time. He double singled it.

Slayden knows all about weighting a truck. The Pit Pass articles at Traxxas.com even show him weighing and counter-weighting his truck with lead material at the bumper. I would be shocked if he didn't set ballast in his trucks to match his driving style preference. After all, that's his job, right?

No Gabe, I've not owned a BB motor. And I didn't think to ask Slayden why he ran a RB motor at the other race but I did notice that he didn't run it a second time!!! I've seen that they are a bit easier to tune however.
I've also seen a BB powered Revo like you're thinking of running at the Nitrofarm race. He didn't do well at all. I'm not merely talking about how he finished, I'm talking about how he looked in practice. It wasn't pretty. I thought I was watching a Savage lumber around the track! Jump, Bounce, Roll!!! Over and over, time and again. Could've been his suspension, I don't know. I'm noticing that most people are trying to justify their decisions, good or bad, on these forums and trying to convince others that they have the answer. I don't believe it and I don't profess to have the answers. I only try to state what I see. And I don't see BB Revos doing very well at any track. Let's face it, I was fortunate enough to see the best of the best at the premier Revo dominated MT event in the country. All of the major mfrs. were there in hopes of getting bragging rights for the magazines. What happened? The Monster GT's faired well. The Savage blew chunks. Revos dominated. That's it! And which Revos dominated? OS .18 TM/TZ small blocks dominated. Period!!! Not just the Stock class but the Truggy class also!!!! What argument is left? Why bother.....

Rocco has beaten Bruce in the past with his Savy if I'm not mistaken.
Bruce has been making me with some comments recently also, I just try not to let it bother me. To each his own, everyone has their own opinion on everything, and they think they are always right.RBS5 RB2045 All Futaba
