forbs Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Hey up chaps. Iv just struck a decent deal on an old 2.5 traxxas revo and was wondering if there is anything I should look out for on the older models? What good upgrades should be done ? Can the engine be replaced ? Or can a pull start be put on the original engine ? Many thanks. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forbs Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 Cheers chaps. I will have to wait and see what the oniginal engine is like I suppose. I assumed they would be a more powerful alternative that would drop streight in. Any common faults that need addressing ? Thanks again.

evssv Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 U could drop in a traxxarse 3.3 from the newer t maxx/revo........i assume it'll fit straight in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andythecrane Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Yup. The 3.3 is a straight fit. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
