need advice

[dylanjohn08]

i have a revo that i bought new its a 2.5. pretty much need to redo it from the ground up. i ran it at the beach on vacation one year and thought i cleaned it up enough but i didnt. bearings are bad, need a new steering servo and prob a new throttle servo. i put a 3.3 on it but put it in my jato so i need a motor too I'm thinking big bore ! Need some advice on what to get and where to get it from. nice winter project!

thanks in advance

Most people seem to like the OS .21 or .26 either red dot or maxx. I couldn't tell you the differences or where they got them though :/

thanks man I'm looking at the stuff i need now hopefully get it ordered up here soon so i can get it running again I'm thinking the picco .26 it looks to be a decent motor.

The Picco .26 Maxx is all you really need for bashing. You'll find the motor here:

You'll also need a big block mount. You can find it here:

For bearings, here is a complete kit:

I use a HiTec HS-5645 MG for both steering and throttle you can find them here:

This is an excellent servo for both speed and power.
