Never thought I'de have this many posts in a Revo thread but I finally got this thing dialed in fo sho. I went to practice last night after rebuilding a few parts of the Revo that broke on raceday[alum pillow balls,worn steering parts,knuckles].
this truck cornered fast with no on power push at all. I loosen the screw for the 2 speed so I only run in 2nd gear. The OS 18TZ has plenty of power for this and the truck was easily clearing all the tabletops and the front doubles.
Durability is the only issue i'm having when I push this truck hard. All drive and trans pins seem to be ok so far but the knuckles seem to be wearing prematurely at the point the axle goes threw the wheel bearings. New knuckles and bearings may not last as long as expected and alum parts may be in my future.
After all is said and done I had alot of fun pushing this thing hard as hell. I believe with my setup I can get similar lap times with my Revo and my Truggy. I will have a bit more maintenence on the Revo but parts are cheap and readily available. I can see how Bobbo got so addicted to his race revo.
