Update:

Kiss the ezstart good-bye and hello bump start! I weighed everything, the motor, gears, backplate, owb, wires, the wire hold down clips, etc, and I cut the weight of the revo another 6 oz!

Pics will be up after work when I get home

I'm still on the stock tires. I'm picking up the hurricane wheels with the python tires from satoch on 3rd at the elbourn race. I will have my scale with me to get some new weight readings

dont worry your weight is going to go up to around a pound and a half more at least. These tires with stock foams weigh just over 2 and a half pounds.

I agree with mich (for once)

They are heavy... But they grip everything!!!

Tex · (#32 (**permalink**))

lap times is all that counts and the pythons seem to work well even for being heavyweights

rocco79 · (#33 (**permalink**))

I ran them on the lighting and i agree they do equal lower lap times.... They helped me turn 15 laps in 5 mins... Compared to my normal 14

Roc, I wouldn't say that tires made you turn more laps, I'd say that's your outstanding skill as a great r/c driver

hey mr tune i got an extended chassis for the revo for sale. its tig welded on the top and bottom of the chassis unlike the ballistic chassis and it is sanded smooth to remove the welding spots. Its very durable and the person i got it from has a 1 year warrenty on it against any bends or cracks around the welded area. If your interested its 80 bucks and will come with an instruction manuel on what tiny mods you need to do in order to have everything installed correctly. I would highly recommend this chassis. I ran it today and its just awesome the way the revo handles with just a small extension. Let me know

Mr. Tune · (#37 (**permalink**))

Did you order more than 1 or something?

Tex · (#38 (**permalink**))

?????? yeah if you just ran it today and it's awesome why would you sell it?

Michowski · (#39 (**permalink**))

they guy i ordered it from was extending my red chassis for a custom length and i needed the chassis by friday to get my truck together for a demo show i did today at my lhs. Mine wasnt able to ship till thursday so he sent me a temporary extended one and i got it kinda late saturday afternoon. He said he was in no hurry to get it back so i thought i might try and sell it for him after i saw the performace difference. And since i know your trying to build up a good race truck i thought i would offer you the buy for it.
