So much for Fed Ex...now it 's shoing it will be here Friday but it's still a long ways from here. I hate waiting
 
Ahhhh I love the smell of nitro in the air LOL. Revo got here today, I love it so far. The receiver pack was already charged and ready to go. I ran 3 tanks non stop without any trouble at all. It's fast and handles great but having trouble pulling wheelies, My Maxx would do them all day. I'll have to do some fine tuning when I have more time. Next week it gets a FOC.
 
The Revo, especially with the suspension set low like it likes to be for handling on tracks, is hard to get it to pull wheelies. Even jacking up the suspension and tightening down the shock preloads will make it hard to get the front off the ground. A real good tune helps, but it still may not do it.

Now, since I put that RB 323 motor kit on mine, heck, the front hardly ever sees the ground. It's really almost overkill, and certainly is for racing. A .18 O,S, or Sirio would be best for power on demand and racing. The .23 just is WILD!
 
I ran one more tank just before dark and half way through the tank I realized I had never put it in reverse, so I stop, flip the switch it shifts and then I hear the worst sound you can hear it....The sound of grinding gears. I throw it into forward and everything sounds good. I'm hoping it's just a reverse gear and when my FOC comes in I won't have anything to worry about. Other than that this is a kick ass truck. I also have a few sets of springs to play with and get that front end looking up.

That guy has 100% feedback so no worries there.

There is no way he didn't know the reverse gears were bad, I heard it immediately when it went into reverse. The problem with eBay's feedback system is most are scared to leave a neg because they will get one in return. I will email him and see what he says about it before I leave any feedback.
