I messed around with the setup on the hellfire today based on performance during wednesday practice. Truck runs real good, and hopefully even better when I get used to it.
The revo on the other hand...
I hope I don't have any extra screws or parts left over and that everything checks out ok as I put it together so I don't have to make last minute runs to the lhs for parts. She's getting a 1 3/4" extension. 1" on the front via the chassis and another 3/4 at the rear with the new setback arms.
I'm bringing my A game. Hope ya'll can keep up!
way to go tune. I look forward to racing you on sunday. I sure hope i can make it. Hows that hellfire treating you?
See how fast my savage is !!! I literally blew Mr. tune truck completely apart when i passd him!!!!! sorry tune... Ill buy you some super glue!! LOl!!!
to me it looks his truck was laughing so hard at your savage it literally fell to peices. Gotta stick behind my revo brotha
that was weak, but i understand you have to stick together
so should I start saving for a hellfire? Is it the be-all, end all truggy?
Are you going to have it at the track next week? Wednesday maybe?
I saw Kyosho is going to have one soon.. but I'd rather have a RTR, then a $700 rolling chassis =)

1 3/4 inch thats alot. I got the swept back arms on mine yippy.
Saw the Hellfire in the mag ads last night for $535 rtr. Less than the Jammin' kit. I know I am comparing apples and oranges, but budgets are budgets.
nice work on the revo build up Tune. I slapped the setbacks on last night so mine is now extended 3/4ths in the rear.
I will try that setup then slap the ballistics chassis on a little later and check out the full 1 3/4ths extented at that time. One step at a time!
what does an extended chassis help with???
helps the truck fly in the air better and makes going through the rough sections a lot smoother.
Pros, helps prevent wheelies, better handling in bumpy areas, better jumping abilities. Overall, makes the truck a bit more stable.
Cons, you lose steering radius.
well to add to what tune said your steering loss is very minimal and to 95% of the people unnoticable.
