MR_TiGGer Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Are Savages the Only M/T on this forum? Apart from a couple of mentions of the Good ol T-Maxx I feel very much alone here Hoping to see what other Revo nuts are doing/breaking/fixing etc Anyone? Grrrrrrrrrr:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 merlin has jus done up a revo. The forum is'nt biased to what rc's people buy lol, the savage is a good and popular truck, jus happens alot of members own a savvy. I know what u mean though, I got a menace 21 and theres only 3 of us on the forum who do, 1 memeber is a newbie the other is rarely here so most of the time it feels like i'm the only menace owner lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waz Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I have a Revo, love it, very nice truck, better than a Savage 25 easily, being sold though Has to make way for a supermaxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_TiGGer Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 (edited) i think there are a few guys on here with revo's, I am one of them. BTW love the shell you have in your sig. ← Ta very much took flippin' ages though, to paint. My Revo's my 1st Brand new R/C after a few trade ups on eBay And Traxxas all the way cos if I break it ........ erm ... When I break it a quick phone call to Traxxas and it's on my doorstep next day Grrrrr:-) Glad I'm not the only one:-))) And to Mad Hatter> Always wanted a Menace 21 till I took a close look at one, loads of excellent reviews .... NO WAY can I drive well enough to drive somat that bonkers fast and that erm ... I'd say Fragile was my 1st word when I looked inside the shell. Wouldn't last more than the break in with my throttle finger, the it would go home in a dustpan. 70+ MPH???????? Fooooook! Thank god the revo is so much stronger than it 1st appears, seems tougher than my freinds Savages.

dazzi220 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 The speed takes some getting use to and so does the fact you spent £300+ on a weak ass truck lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR_TiGGer Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 Has reminded me of a problem with Carbon Fibre, in a crash it either holds or shatters, unlike Alu or plastic which bends. Could be a very expensive crash Grrrr:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mentalpatient Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 i really want a revo, my rush evo is crrrrrapp is it loud??? if its vvvery loud my parents would kill me and which parts break most, cos i dont want to fork out £100 after i break it in. ps mr tigger, how easy was it to do the stripes????

waz Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 It honestly is the quietest truck I've ever had, very quiet, unlike a savage which kills your eardrums Parts that break most...rod ends and arms. A set of RPM arms are 40 quid, but not really worth upgrading unless your going to be going tottaly mental, as they are quite tough to begin with, and rod ends cost about 2 quid for a pack of 8.

waz Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 (edited) LOL, sorry no pun intended. Well RPM's would probably be worth it then. as I said, 40 quid for a full set, with a lifetime guarentee! I'll include a full set of standard arms if your nice Edited September 11, 2005 by waz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waz Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Tigger, if you've heard my collari savage go you'll know loud, a Revo is real quiet in comparision. Once I drive the Revo after the Savage, I always think the car has stalled, but its still going, you just can't hear it coz it's soo quiet.

MR_TiGGer Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 (edited) However I have some idea wot u mean, my m8's savvy has the Picco 26 with some custom pipe and drives me bonkers cos I can't tell if my handset is boned or the Revo has cut out BUT he can't wheelie for toffee unless he's got the proper savvy pipe on HAHA!! As I always say Somat to do with being a high end pipe but the savvy stock one is better across low to mid range. Still can't handle for sh##e against the Mighty TiGGer stripped Revo though Grrrr:-) Edited September 12, 2005 by MR_TiGGer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
