Beige Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 ok, mine started out bone stock Ran great like that One day i decided to do some jumps, as you do (note, truck is flying low in pics as i was taking em with an SLR camera looking through the view finder, so taking it easy ) During the clean up after that run in noticed a nice break in the front skid And, as i foresee this being a weak spot i bought some nice alu' replacements, and while i was there did the servo skids too So, to bring this to a conclusion, it's still a stock revo. But with a couple of alu parts still runs great btw http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~tux/otherf...rrevo/front.jpg *[CENSORED], looks like theres a picture limit, well, that screws up the attempt at a flowing post * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcsammy Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 nice beige, does it come with plastic servo skids to start with or just nothing there? they do look very easy to smash if theres nothing there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Master Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 here is my revo just finsished building it i will list the hopups later but as you can see there is alot of hopups thanks for looking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beige Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 nice beige, does it come with plastic servo skids to start with or just nothing there? they do look very easy to smash if theres nothing there It comes with plastic ones, and tbh their just fine, mine never got a scratch. Only replace em with the alu' ones because i could Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcsammy Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 what spring and sock oil setup do you guys run in your revos? btw very nice revo Bmaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcsammy Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 ok can someone tell me which of tehse is better http://www.rchopups.co.uk/item--Blue-Tube-...raRollCage.html http://www.rchopups.co.uk/item--Large-Diam...evoRollBar.html the roll cage looks like it gives better over all protection but probably not as strong as the bar and harder to work on the car i wnat something taht will strenthen up the whole truck but mainly protect the engine from hits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beige Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I've landed inverted and not broken the stock plastic one (much to my surprise), so go buy what you like the look of. Personally i'd go for the "bar" one, less wight As for the shock, i've got 45w oil, stock pistons, and the LT springs that come with it, but I'm using the stock rockers. Not the absolute best setup, but i already had the oil, and the springs come with the truck, so it'll do me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revorussell Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 both are crap imo i had the rollbar on mine but sold it due to it being fixed to the front shock mount not a good idea as tigger pointed out to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR_TiGGer Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 ok can someone tell me which of tehse is better http://www.rchopups.co.uk/item--Blue-Tube-...raRollCage.html http://www.rchopups.co.uk/item--Large-Diam...evoRollBar.html the roll cage looks like it gives better over all protection but probably not as strong as the bar and harder to work on the car i wnat something taht will strenthen up the whole truck but mainly protect the engine from hits You're forgetting about the additional weight a complete rollcage will bring. A simple solution is to simply wrap a cloth and 2" black tape around the carry handle, to make the top thicker. And will pretty much make sure that the heat sink don't get banged on a roll over. It will add alot of protection to the Revo without throwing any noticable weight on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcsammy Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 it makes it looks crappy though i just noticed that the roll cage is £114 so stuff that im still tempted by the roll bar though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arris Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 i got sav new era roll bar, if it mounted better would be ace, as its strong as owt, some very nice revo's here, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcsammy Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 whats wrong with how they mount? they could mount different on a revo anyway, they have a completely different chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revorussell Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 no you cant.the problem is if you was to have a hard landing on the roof it could rip the shocks off plus they are a pain if you want a bigger air filter on it as they won't fit why do you think i got rid of mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR_TiGGer Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 it makes it looks crappy though i just noticed that the roll cage is £114 so stuff that im still tempted by the roll bar though You bloody snob, with the shell on who will ever notice If you do a tidy job it'll look fine and go along way to protecting your Revo without the weight problem And the small Roll cage, like on the LST is connected to the top of a shock, if you fall badly and the roll bar protects your Revo. you'll lose the shock anyway.

rcsammy Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 i have to admit that yours does look ALOT better than the one i saw the tape was all scuffed, bright blue and put on badly anyway aslong as the revo im interested in runs fine when the guy tests it i think i have a deal cant wait :hyper: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
