  6. ive been neglecting my revo since i pulled the threads out rear bulkhead, rear body tower mount and bent both rear shock shafts. but i finally got round to ordering the new plastic bits and got a steal on ebay for 4 as new shocks which are the upgraded bodies and ti nitrate shafts. put thicker diff fluid in front and rear, thicker shock oil and stiffer springs. got it all back together with longer bolts going through the shocks to bulkhead as the old bolts didn't reach to the end of threads in bulkhead. diffs and suspension travel feels much smoother and more resistant to landing.
  7. Massive thanks to tanveer who helped me get my Revo back up and running. new motor, new diff ring and pinion gears, went with 60k diff fluid front and back and 50wt shock oil. took it out last night and its running better than ever, didn't stay out long as i was getting eaten alive by every insect known to man.
  8. Turns out traxxas are going to cover it under warranty if I have proof or purchase but I bought it off nevergrowingup on here and he’s not replying to my messages about sending the receipt through ? anyone help me out with a receipt through email I can use? cheers chris
  9. just Had a look at the site, can’t find the language change on it so gave up ? I’ve ordered the ring and pinion from modelsport already so just need to be patient I think.
  10. Got the Hobbywing motor through today. Seems like a well made motor so hopefully holds up to more abuse than the traxxas labeled motor did. Just waiting on both diff ring and pinion gear sets now which are out of stock everywhere including traxxas US ☹️
  11. not sure if the motor overheated or the magnets just came unattached and failed, i dont think this new motor from traxxas is as good as castle as i never used to have problems with my old savage flux and revo brushless which both got as much if not more abused than this truck. i think the diffs are much stronger for sure but i think when the motor locked up at full speed it must have taken a tooth off each ring gear. traxxas have non in stock so modelsport said i could be waiting a while.
  12. So I was out with my REVO on Sunday and started hearing a noise which sounded like a bearing, then the next pass at full speed and flat out the motor locked up and it did multiple front flips, turns out the rotor magnets broke away and caused the motor to lock up, also stripped down the whole truck to use the opportunity to check it over and clean everything. Turns out both diff ring gears have a tooth missing, probably from where the motor locked up at full speed. So I’ve ordered a Hobbywing 2200kv and the ring and pinion gears are on back order. Also need a few new rod ends,rear body tower etc so £160 later and hopefully it will be back up to speed again.
  13. not bent any push rods on mine yet (have the red trx rods and tie rods) I did break a rear chassis brace yesterday though, might go with the alloy one for a replacement. this truck takes a serious beating, had a lot of hard landings and at most the body pops off.
  14. Yeah saying ‘thank you’ is surely showing more appreciation than hitting a like button...
  15. Untitled by chris jackson, on Flickr Untitled by chris jackson, on Flickr Untitled by chris jackson, on Flickr took it out for the first time today, only on flat grass but it moves. going to get to hard anodized shocks and shafts for it and stiffer springs and shock oil next, have a play around with the settings.

  16. So I purchased a Revo 2.0 off of nevergrowingup on here, got a great deal....thanks again ? forst thing i did was strip it down and dye that grey to black. Few pictures below, I think it personally looks 100 times better black.
  17. Will the warranty still be valid if changing owners?
  18. thanks for the offer, but I want to go brand new cause im kinda OCD first thing ill be doing is stripping it down to rit dye that awful grey chassis
  19. RCmart are saying June for expected stock now, and modelsport will probably update their delivery dates soon also. wanting to get back into the hobby and looks like ive got to be patient
