Turner Boy Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Sorry i didnt mention the wing as ive become so accustomed to seeing it on mine i tell myself its stock lol the 23mm hubs are instead of the 14mm stock ones so you can put the 40series wabash rims and the like of on it this gives better traction on corners as the 40 series hav virtaull no sidewall if you reac or bash grass these with mulchers are a necesity or bowties if you do some onroad.

reefshark Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 personally i think the badlands are better than mulchers and the tread wont wear out as much as i find spike tyres dont last long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revs Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 personally i think the badlands are better than mulchers and the tread wont wear out as much as i find spike tyres dont last long List is getting longer now - now just have to make sure people know WTF I'm talking about eh LOL!

Turner Boy Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 good point on the badlands but imo the mulchers look better and at this time of year when the grass is muddy and the mud is marshland lol the mulchers will just grip and not wear down but the second you go on road bye bye spikes lol i would only use them for strickly mud but i have multipal sets anyway so..... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean22 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I dont understand why ppl waste tons of cash on hopups that make little or no difference to the truck... Only thing i got for my revo was the forward only conversion and the pullstart... Thats all it needs in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin34 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I have had a set of mulchers that i have had for over a year.Been on my savage,t-maxx and now the revo.Only ever used them on grass but they still have tons of grip left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turner Boy Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 hop ups arent nessacery in alloy nor in rpm tbh no hop ip is really needed but the rpm gear adds strength and for a basher that is a nessecity ( sorry for poo spelling ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea118 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 and hopups can make it look better, perform better (in some cases) and also make it a better racer (lighter/more agile etc) but for bashing all you need is a pully and FOC oh and a set of RPM arms are nice, but no point unless the stock ones break Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turner Boy Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 if you bash proprley they WILL break lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revorussell Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 depends on what you want from your car.if you want more speed then some hop ups are a must or if you bash hard but most will just get them for the look they give Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revs Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 Some of the Revos I've seen on this forum look great; I think part of this hobbie is making these mods but its performance of the car that matters most and returns the most enjoyment - imo. My truck is std and I'm looking forward to adding these hopups - hopefully i learn a bit more abit it as i go...and loose a lot of cash at the same time LOL rofl Let em know if you have any hopups for grabs - I dont mind 2nd hand stuff.

sea118 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 i might be willing to sell a set of the traxxas tubes pushrods/tie rods in the near future - looking to buy some CF ones oh and also some 23mm wabash rims (died brown, meant to be black lol) with bow ties too.
