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! Wink

LMFAO @ Rocco
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
what everrrrr
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. Smile 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.
