i was doing backflips off my quarterpipe and i was doing them fine until the fifth time my revo ran out of gas in mid air. Its the worst luck. anyways my whole electronics is busted up probably from all the snow. so can anyone tell me or send a link to where i can get a new opti drive and throttle sevos? Also when the revo nose dived from 15 feet it was fine but once i started driving it there was this click clack noise like there was a pebble rolling around somwhere. hmm i should take more care of the revo but i dont want to baby it, just want to bash around and have fun.
 
look on e-bay. thats where i do a lot of my shopping. it should be the cheapest.
 
PM me, pay for shipping and I'll give you one of my Optidrives. Or better yet, for free I'll tell you to do the FOC. You may have stripped a gear in the tranny. The tranny comes out pretty easy and breaks down fairly easy. Check your slipper too.
 
sounds good to me all i need to know is wat PM me and FOC mean sorry I'm not good with abbreviations
 
dave- he want you to send him a private message. Also, FOC stands for Foward Only Conversion. It's a popular conversion in a couple vehicles as it get's rid of some rotating weight in the tranny, let's you get rid of one servo, and makes low speed takeoffs much smoother. you only give up being able to back up.
 
Sorry Dave, didn't notice you had just joined the board. But Lessen said it PM=personal message, FOC=forward only conversion. BTW, you have a pm back.
 
I ate a gear in my T-Maxx and it made a sound like yours is doing. Pretty easy job to switch it out. So far no tranny issues with my Revo.
