That means after I screw it up you are going to help me put it back together right.   I think I'll be OK. If I have the trans apart I will probably do the FOC while I am at it that way I don't need to do it again...

Awwww... that doesn't say anything on how to drive through it. Just how to get ready for it. Right now I go flying into the snow and just kind of dig 4 holes and fill the body with snow. (But at least I know I waterproofed everything well... nothing fried.

Maxx stlye tires don't work well backwards...Chevron style (v-tread design) are meant to dig in and clear themselves at least in mud thats how they work (1:1 mud tires anyway)

They would probalbly work a little better....might still dig in and bury itself.

I'll give it a try... I never remember the maxx getting stuck but I guess the revo's suspension makes it sit a lot lower and softer...

Push rod holes on the arms, and a little preload, but preload should not be used for large amounts of ride height change according to Traxxas. Page 35 in the manual. You've got yours right by the computer, right?

Allright... and yeah. I figured preload on the RC was just like on my bike. If you use it too much it puts a lot of strain on the shocks and can cause them to blow early...

yep, turn the ride height up for snow bashing. Also i did a test with the stock maxx tires as far as running them forward or backwards.
This is running on a dirt surface. (Like woodridge jumps/devry jumps/etc...) First I ran the tires backwards (thinking it would act like paddles and grip better). I grab the back bumber with the truck running, stabbed the throttle, and the tires cleared away all the dirt from the top of the running surface. Then I ran the tires the normal way. Grabbed the bumper, stabbed the throttle, and the tires dug four holes into the ground instead of simply clearing all the dirt off the surface. Sooo...running the tires backwards yielded less traction. It causes the tires to "float" on top of the surface. Running correct caused them to "dig" RBS5 RB2045 All Futaba

oh and diff oil changes does make a pretty big difference. I run 30K/Front, 10K/Rear.
Lighter oil in the back causes less "push" in the turns, which means you turn faster and tighter with light oil in back. So in essense you could run 10K/Front, 3K/Rear and it would be like 30K/Front, 10K/rear, or about 3 times lighter oil. The reason Revos use heavier oil in the diffs than say ..Buggies... is because the diffs cause alot less "diff action" than buggy diffs. Meaning a heavier oil is needed in revos to get the same effect as a lighter oil in a buggy. Revos come stock with 30K/Front, 30K/Rear diff oil. That's an ok start point to get used to your new truck, or for all out bashers. Once you get on a track with tight turns you will want the lighter oil in the rear diff so you can carve your way through the track faster/tighter. RBS5 RB2045 All Futaba
