froggy8 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) hi guys just got myself a revo 2.5 and at first i didnt want it but i was bored yesterday so i thought i would try it out and i loved it straight away. easy to start and its a small monster truck which is more ideal as its not too heavy or big. i was originally going to get the newer model savage but instead i got this thinking it was in good condition, how wrong was i? i have checked ebay but not really much parts in there so just wondered where would you all go to get parts for this truck?

Andythecrane Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Avid in the USA do full kits. More at home, there is RC bearings. I've used both. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andythecrane Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 The bearing kit is based on standard hubs. The RPM hubs have bigger bearings. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froggy8 Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 just one problem, do i just go for the rubber ones as i do go on grass and sometime dusty areas? not sure what the revolutions are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andythecrane Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I went with Rubber. Revolution bearings have rubber on one side and metal on the other. Go with Rubber, then remove the seal and put in marine grease, and pop the seals back on. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
