hipluther, That is NOT a platnum.....I know the person you bought that from. He is like 14.

You have a regular revo 3.3 and not a platnum.

The guy I bought it from isnt 14 unless his parents signed a release letting him get married and the state is letting him work at a plant @ 14. Plus we got a regular revo and when you set them side by side they look nothing alike. the real only similarity is that the chassis is the same color. It could be a regular revo. Upon looking at the traxxas manuals that I downloaded it is missing a couple things. well.... mainly a rear brake. But thats all I can tell from the pics. The thing handles like a dream. It doesn't wheelie all the time but it can and will if I try. I like it and as otherwise stated "if the OP is happy thats all that matters" and I am.. :D

CLANG.....CRUNCH......BOOOM..... What was that??!! Oh... a derailment..LMAO jk. Thats a pretty sweet looking buggy on that vid though Joe.
 
I never said it was impossible. This guy was talking about his was doing wheelies like mad.

Whatever. I own a platinum i know what it will do and what it wont do. It wont wheelie with the stock 3.3

Truggy is alot lighter and if you notice in that vid the only reason it was wheeling was due to the way he was hitting that bump on the throttle. Revo does not have enough power to do that.

my old revo would come up on something like that also.
It also did not have a center differential.

The revo platinum wont wheelie off of something like that.
