Long Vs. Short Travel -
11-12-2005, 06:35 PM
I just switched the rockers over on the revo to feel the dfference in travel. I think the long ones would be fun for just screwing around running stuff over. I have the feeling that once that thing takes to the air with the long travel on it would be really unstable. I plan on changing it back... anyone else have any experience?

Never changed them. I recall the early reviewers saying they are more for rough terrain crawling etc...
I'm switching to P2's (like soooo many others) to tighten up the suspension a little. Along with stiffer springs.

Read the manual. %90 of your questions can be answered there and by watching the DVD. Next, use the "search" feature on the Traxxas website revo thread. I can gaurantee, every question you have can be answered there. It's really easy.

FreeRide, feel free to ask any questions you might have at anytime here. This is not the Traxxas board and we don't require you to search before you ask questions. Please feel free to question us......
to answer your question, I've never tried the long rockers.

IMO the long travel rockers are only good for crawling. Theres just way to much suspension for just bashing and jumping. Rock crawling is the only good use i found with them. Otherwise p1 or p2 for bashing work great.

Tex, Noto, Mich... thank you. Satoch... if you don't want to answer you don't need to. I don't like the atmosphere of the Traxxas boards, so I refuse to post there. If that bothers you, my apologies.
Now anyway... since I have come to agree with michowski on this one, The P2 will be more progressive than the P1 or less?? (more progressive would start out more plush but end the same as the less progressive... correct?) I just want to make sure that I do this right. I will probably get different pushrods and then whatever rocker/spring combination that will reduce the sag a little bit and stiffen up the travel over all. It feels decent, but still too soft stock. And did anyone else have any problems changing the rockers?? The rears ended up pulling the posts out and I had to put those back in with a socket, and then the lower bearings DID NOT want to slide back down the post after they were taken off. (Another reason that I want to figure out the setup and not have to keep changing it.) Thanks again.

I'm not trying to discourage posting questions in any way, but I think Saotch was trying to be be helpful.
Anyway....I found these to be really helpful in settting up a Revo... Part 1: http://www.traxxas.com/support/pub/r...etup_guide.htm Part 2: http://www.traxxas.com/support/pub/r...ormance_sc.htm

LOL on the Easy button!
yeah searching is a pain in the but unless your really bored. Just ask! That's what we are here for! No doubt Slaydaddy knows his stuff and his articles are always full of usefull information. Oh and Dave, that piece that you grind down for more steering doesn't even need to be on the truck period, it doesn't hold anything on and has no structual purpose at all for the revo. It is simply a steering stop and if you grind the stops off, it has no purpose at all. Alot of us just remove it completely from the truck

It does provide a teeny bit of extra support for the middle of the front skid, and backs the area right behind the front lower arms, but I know better than to question you. I will have It apart this week to fix the busted arm.
