Well, I spent all this time and effort getting the BB installed, getting the shocks/springs setup to support the weight (blue springs/P3 rockers/40 weight), finding a header/pipe I liked, making my own throttle linkage... all to find out that I just don't care for all that power in the revo. It's uncontrollable and especially so on a track.
I took it to a MX track Saturday and hated it. With the suspension being stiff enough to not bottom out all the time, it was as useless as a maxx! When I wasn't trying to gain control in a straight while feathering the gas, it was doing a wheelie. Rarely did I hit second gear so I never had decent speed for a jump.
So, I was up until 1am last night finding all my SB stuff and re-installing the 18TM. I thought I was supposed to run at the track today, but plans fizzled. I'll see how it works soon I hope. I softened up the springs to green all around vs blue. It feels more planted when I drive it now. With the 3.3 chassis, 18TM and Fantom pipe, it's just geared/powered enough to not pull a wheelie on concrete.
Any others go back to a SB?
