general revo discussion

[Casketman]

I am not really worried about getting a chip or it breaking for that matter. I do plan to have the old chassis around. And maybe a new 3.3 around down the road. I dont really care about the weight either. It all comes down to driving IMO. But this chassis has been reworked and extended in a different spot then the other extended chassis for the revo. A couple of people at the traxxas forums have said the same thing. I know this from a email I got from Vantage when I asked why they inclued 2 new center drive shafts. This is what I was told

Hi Andrew,



Thanks for your interest in our products. For our extended chassis kit RE0302, we’ve included 2 drive shafts because it is an upgrade. Instead of having to purchase the other one later, we’ve included everything for a race ready upgrade. Our extension is from the middle back where we have also pushed up the servo placing for better balance. The set of drive shaft which we also offer as a single option (RE0003) works with the factory 3.3 also. However if you were to install the rear brake kit, you would need to use the factory one. Hope this helps and thanks for your continued support!

As for how well it will hold up. I am not to worried. My last 2.5 chassis took a hit from a car and only cracked(not even fully,more like 80% thru) just behind the motor mount on the chassis. Nothing major. The motor tilts up just a hair because of it,but that is easy to fix(shim the mount) and it wasnt doing any harm anyway. I took it off because the truck was to light,and I felt that if I put some more weight back in. I could finally get fully adjusted to the other changes I had made. I had done to much at once so the truck was something way different then what it was before. I shall not make that mistake again.
