not to many mods to get the revo to be a top contender on the track. Just the basics like better servo's and radio, tires, couple mods to the truck itself like an FOC kit. After that just getting a setup you like.

Racers who have to reduce weight. I keep reverse in mine for bashing. You just can't use reverse during a race.

Same goes for the EZ Start system. Remove it frees up a little power from the motor, and makes the truck lighter.


got paint?

you cant use reverse at a track. Even if you could it would be a waste of time because a marshal would get to your truck before you could get going again after getting out of reverse. Its better to just remove it and be done with it. Plus the reverse in the revo is really week. They strip out very easily so to get rid of the headache most people just get rid of it
