What is the One Best Revo mod? -
03-08-2005, 11:05 AM
This question got lost in the end of my thread looking for MT selection (except for one reply):
What is the One Best bang-for-the-buck mod you can make to the stock Revo? Is it a OS 18 motor, aluminum arms, different diff lube weights, or tires, whatever? Throw your opinions in here. Thanks DaveC

almost any kinds of mods you do to the revo will make it better. My personal favorite mod is the os .18 motor. The 2.5 worked great for me and i rarely had problems but the os has a ton more speed, and seems to have the best power curve for the revo. Either the os or lunsford parts are my favorite. Everything after that is still just getting a good setup you like. And i wouldnt get any aluminum arms unless you want a really heavy truck.

Michowski said the aluminum arms are heavier, I was stating that RPM has Revo a arms out now (non aluminum) and that would probably be the better choice. I just installed RPM a arms last weekend on my Revo and they are about the same weight as the stockers and look very impressive compared to the stock arms.

the rpm arms are a lot lighter then the aluminum arms out right now. The only downside that the rpm arms have is that they got a lot of flex in them. That is the one reason why there so indestructible. For bashing there the best arms money can buy, for racing i would stick with the stockers. Dont go aluminum if you are worried about weight, your truck will probly gain like 2 pounds or more with just arms. Wait till UE comes out with arms or dace. They make there products out of 7075 which is light and strong.

Cool, thanks for the clarifications. I am completely new to MT aftermarket parts, having just picked up the Revo. I had read about Dace and UE from your other threads and have checked out the UE site. Holy $$$$. $serious $stuff!!!! Again, if you race, probabaly well worth it.
We're looking forward to getting familiar with the Revo so that some day we can run with y'all on the bumps and jumps of a track like LH. Until then, DaveC RyGuyC (my son)

One mod to the Revo I dont think anyone has mentioned is trimming down the steering stops on the Revo. From the factory, theres 2 tabs to prevent full steering for newer drivers to prevent oversteering the Revo. If you flip the revo over and use the steering, you'll see the 2 tabs I'm talking about. Use a dremel and grind the down to get more steering.
