Well,I thought this deserved a gallery show off thread of it's own.It's my Revo that I got from Paul2304 in the deal we did.It has numerous hop ups already including,,

RPM arms all round.(black)
RPM front and rear bumpers.(black)
RPM Hub carriers front and rear,(black)
23mm Proline hexs.
Traxxas,Red anodized 7075 102mm Alloy pushrods,fr and rr.

RB TM523 Engine with RB matching tuned pipe.

Lightened flywheel.
Nova Racing alloy adjustable clutch
150cc 5308 model fuel tank.
Alloy fuel tank skidplate.
Latest 5308 model radio boxLatest 5308 model T/B servo mount.

Also came with a lot of spares so no having to shop for parts if owt breaks.Full shock set,2x red spring sets,1x Green spring set,spare hubs,driveshafts,centre shafts,radio box's,2x spare 2.5 chassis,various other plastic bits,reverse gear internals,standard ratio gear internals,3x spur gears,2x spare clutches and 2 speed clutches and 2 full diffs etc,etc...

I want a few more goodies for this truck as its now my major nitro model,Paul bid and won some red alloy Traxass pushrods so i'll buying those on Monday along with a Optidrive unit,servo and sensor from Apex Boner(Richard).I want to get an original shell from the latest model,the white shell is my favourite.

I also want a set of 17mm hex's,standard Revo wheels and Talon tyres from the new model too,just to have the standard Revo look,the red alloy Traxass turnbuckles are to be got to compliment the pushrods.I'll add any more hop ups as I go and list what i've done in this thread.

All i've done so far is to neaten the bodyshell with the Dremmel,added new fuel tube and re-solder the starter motor wires since the pics.I can't wait to run her,the engine hasn't even been tuned yet so i'll just ease the tuning and see what it shapes up like but it should be a bit of an animal with this engine,not big block power but a more refined engine with what should be ample power..

Cheers everyone and thanks to Paul for offering the deal to me or I wouldn't have this fine truck....

[Mr Terminator]

Not on your nelly mate...

[gaz d]

Taht is cool. How many r/c's do you own??

[Mr Terminator]

I only own 4 working models now and one on the way in the shape of a HPI Rush Evo that needs a little attention and then it's being given to the daughter to get her into nitro....

[revorussell]

That is one fine looking revo. And with the rb 528 that is gonna fly wish i had kept my one's now

[Mr Terminator]

Cheers Russell,i'm well chuffed with it,another thing I want to change is the rear wing to a black Proline HD wing and get a Proline Quick lidz Crowd Pleazer so I can add the green to the already applied black and grey paint,that should go well with the wheels....

[Ziggy122]

What colour blue is that?
Thats a fantastic blue colour!!

Ziggy

[Mr Terminator]

Not a clue Zig,all I know is its a metallic blue,it is nice but I like Greens and Yellows.The green CP shell I do will look better along witha black wing.I'll get some more wheels and tyres for bashing too,maybe some black Velocity dishes and Badlands on them and use that body for bashing aswell.

The green dishes and Bow Ties i'll leave for show along with the new bodyshell,I want standard wheels and tyres though from the latest model Revo aswell.All this will come after the Bajas got het clutch area hopped up....

[BigMick]

[paul2304]

Funny that's just what i was thinking

[Matt B]

Thats a lovely Revo Carl. I'd reccomend getting the RPM rear true track suspension for it, as the rear turnbuckles seem to have a habit of snapping. Either that or get the red alloy turnbuckles. I have a feeling that at a Bruntwood bash there's now going to be a million Revo's!
