a coupe of questions about the revo

[JWSAV]

i am debating the revo or the tmaxx but need some help here, i primarily like doing burnouts, wheelies, and 360's with some fun in the dirt. please help me decide what to get!

1) will the revo do wheelies from a dead stop?
2) will the revo do burnouts and 360's? etc?
3) can i remove the forward driveshaft to make it only 2 wheel drive for extra power and fun? i pulled the forward shaft out of my emaxx and it put alot more power to the rear wheels. I want to be able to have it 2 wheel or 4 wheel (whatever i want for the moment)

please help me if you can , my computer has an order waiting to be punched in for either or!!!

Well I don't have a revo, but...I one of my buddies has a tmaxx another has a revo, and I would have tos ay go with the revo. The tmaxx is an older model and is outdated compared to the revo.

Wheelies - yes
burnouts - do you mean on pavement? if so I'm not sure, but in gravel or grass - yes
driveshaft - I'd have to say no on either, not good for the truck.

Don't have a revo, but I agree with the others on it. It's the better built and design of the two. I never saw wheelies with my maxx (2.5), could have been a bumb engine. I didn't see wheelies from it until I did a 21 conversion.

From what I've seen with the revo movies that I've downloaded, is that it can take a hell of a beating and come back for more. I rarely see it pulling wheelies in stock form. When a 21 is shoehorned in, then it does wheelies, but with it's design, it doesn't handle them so gracefully. I don't think it was made to do wheelies at all. It just flips on its lid. But I have yet to see one pull a standing wheelie on any surface that doesn't have a 21 in it.
