Below is a link to some pics of my latest Revo entry. It was built to be a racer and contains many components I collected here and on ebay. I recently traded in my 40 series tires for 1/8 scale truggy tire. What a difference in handling, looks and speed. I am not sure why I did not think of this earlier....one of my pit mates suggested it.

I have yet to race it in this incarnation but On Thursday night I will see if it helps me keep up with the Truggy crowd.:w00t:


Thanks for looking ...as usual questions and comments welcome.

What the!!!

Why are you using the ez-start. I figured you would have given up long ago, and gone starter box or at least pull start.
Is the green goo an attempt to keep that thing from rusting.

Any way looks good like always man.

Yea the goo is try and keep p it on there....it is liquid electrical tape...;)

I hate every other starting mechanism MORE that the ez start ...so I keep it....I should invent a better set up....

Thanks for stopping by....tell the boss man you need Thursdays off to race....promote Als...he should pay you..
 
Nice truck Talon! Really though One word, Pull start, so much lighter but hey what ever floats your boat you know. Also you may want to put a ball point pen or small pices of fule tubing on those 2 scres that hold your pads. Place it right between pads and it keeps them from wearing pre-maturly when your on them all the time, espically helps on a track. That RB shure is purdy can't wait.

I'll let you talk to the boss man about that lol!

I just ordered the parts to turn my 2.5 to 3.3 today so hopefully It will be track ready soon. I am going to try to swing out there and catch a race or 2 to see what it is like and then try to get some practice time in.

Btw do you know if anything happens on Tuesdays or Wednesdays (my days off)

No....but if you are a member you can go out there and practice.....all day if you wish...;)

I try to sneak out there between clients and burn a tank or two.:cool:
 
Nice Talon!

I would like much to hear of your Revo's future winning exploits over the truggies! Hope to see some of these! :first_place:

Goodluck!
 
Nah I can't do Sundays....I raced....well I showed up on Thursday.

My son raced the rustler...he got a 2nd and a fifth...there were 9 in the class I think.

I however have some sort of track curse going on . I run and test my rig during the week ....no problems.....when I get to the track I break ...and repair and break .......So even though I took two trucks I was did not start for all events.


I will rebuild them this week and try to be out for the 5th.
