I don't think there is anything left to upgrade on my revo. With the leftover parts I got almost enough to build another one. I do need a new body tho....

Maybe I'll convert it to brushless.... thinking of lst diff's.... otherwise I gotta resist....
 
the Famous last words of every RC guy..."i'm done spending money on this thing ".......no your not ~~~~~!:snooty::LoL::shhh::money::money::money:
 
Yeah i thought the same thing about $500 ago. Still spending as well. Never done!
 
What else could I possibly do to it other than bling it out with aluminum.....

Other than replacing parts that break. I'm done upgrading...
 
Rear wing and mount, better axle carriers, CVD's, ceter diff/rear brake etc.etc.

I could spend all your $$ rather quickly.
 
I will get a rear wing cuz of the sway bar. Don't want a center diff so no need for rear brake. I have mip center cvd shafts.... been replacing axle carriers as they break. I'm telling ya there isn't much more I can do to it that needs to be done. I made a list with prices of the parts I bought I'm afraid to add it all up....
 
Yes. An idle mind is the devils playground... I can't wait for all this snow to melt so I can actually get to see what it can do!!! !

I really need to work on the nitro rustler next.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some
Stuff....
Some of the parts were swapped out or replaced...
 
2 different engines,2 different exausts and 2 different clutches,hmmmmm,don't sound like your hurting for cash bud,stop whining about spending more $ on it:cool:

transmited from a mobile communications device
 
well all the redundant parts will go to another revo build or be backup parts... finding another new era mount will be difficult....
 
I see one thing you havnt upgraded to that i would for sure. 17mm hub adaptors and some better wheels and tires.
 
I don't know if I'm having tuning problems because of the tank or because its still pretty cold. In the 30's.... I don't think the tank will cause any problems. I got it to seal up tight.
