Well after having it rough for awhile (Had to sell my REVO and SMAXX along with all of my RC Stuff), I am finally back on my feet and able to afford this sport again. With that being said I just ordered a REVO, Temp Gun, and the basic essential . Now with that being said, What would be the first upgrade to do ? I am thinking about going ahead and order a OS 18 TM , because I had a hard time keeping the 2.5 tuned last time. What other if any upgrades would you do if any? I just can't wait till it comes in ( I feel like a kid again lol)
 
you could get a ACNCM head for the 2.5 it is a cheap but very effective head. I say go with the RPM arms,
 
I am debating on the upgrades , I know i will go with RPM arms when and if i break the stock ones , I am looking at the p2 rockers and pushrods( do I need to go with traxxas brand or is there a better brand?), new springs( what is the best all around springs?) I am also contemplating on getting the mip CVD kit also but i am wondering if it is worth it?. I also plan on ordering the motor saver air filter. I will bash some but i would like to get into racing as I become more confident in my ability to control it lol , thanks for the input so far and i look forward in hearing everyones suggestions
 
Well I dont have a Revo ( I so wish I did ) I do not know about the P2's or the springs, But MIP CVD's are a good upgrade and are well worth it, and a Motorsavers is a great airfilter well worth it.
 
I havent had a single problem with the stock axles, so I would say wait on the CVDs. I have the OS 18 in my REVO, very nice!! Also have the RPMs and highly recomend those. Motorsaver filter is also great!
 
Dont get the tm. Get the TZ. More power. Also consider looking at the RB Tm323. As far as mip, do the center kit and call it a day.
