the link wont work, but the main mods for a revo are forward only conversion, single steering servo. After that i would get rpm a arms all the way around. Those are the first mods that shoudl be done.

You'll love the Revo though, I have one and it's great. I've ony had 1 problem with it, which was the clutch, and thats it.

Good luck.
 
i know i barely checked it a 3.3 only used thru 1/2 gal $242 plus shipping
 
You can do a search for the ebay number to see it, 130275880473.

Not bad, but the fact that it says "gently used" and "broken bumper" raises an eyebrow. It's bone stock with a few spare parts and stock radio/charger etc.

It's tough to break a bumper on a revo. I only managed to break one or two of the bumper holders in the 1+ years of bashing a revo.

Still, not a bad price, a little over 1/2 of what a new one would cost. Looks like it's landed on the engine a couple times though. You might want to check the engine mount and cradle when you get it to make sure it's not cracked. If it is, it will chew up spur gears until you fix it.

For my needs, RPM axle carriers and RPM arms is a must. I'd get the new true track rear arms/carriers if I had a revo now. Removes the rear turnbuckles. Anything that removes wearable items gets an A+ in my book.

Now that traxxas makes a better header, I'd get it and save yourself the headache of busted headers. I went through 4 of the stockers by the time I got an OS18TM engine with a nice OS header. Considering the stockers are $18 a piece, it adds up quickly. Getting one of the spring mounted headers allows for flex on hard flat landings or on rear ended landings.

Get two of the springs just to have a spare.

Believe me, RPM parts pay for themselves in a short while.

now how much durable is a stock revo than a t-maxx
 
Quite a bit more durable. Especially if you ditch reverse and throw in an FOC.

Two of the major weaknesses on the t-maxx are eliminated with the revo. Arm hinge pin retainers and shock towers. On the revo, they use an aluminum plate to retain the hinge pin ends. This is something they should have built into the t-maxx as busting bulkheads is a regular occurrence. The stock maxx towers are supported only by the bulkhead tops. So, if you land hard upside down at an angle, either the tower snaps or the tops of the bulkheads snap. The revo doesn't have shock towers.

I didn't have a problem with the sliders for the 1+ year I ran a revo. I broke a couple, but in doing so, I also broke the RPM arms, so they were hard hits. I cased a jump a couple times going full tilt.

Other than those few times, the stock sliders held up really well.
