Looks current to me. Ofcourse they could have thrown the wheels on from an old one.

They have been like that since 2015 or so.

Whats up that revo 3.3 (5309) was released in 2006. After the revo 2.5R (5310) was released 2004. It looks completely stock also. What else would you like to know. Or need help with?

Thank you Chubaka & STONER RC,

So far is help that i need to decide if i should buy this REVO 3.3 or T-MAXX 3.3. After that i'm sure that i'll have alot of chalanges with NITRO, until now i was only driven ELECTRO RC.

REVO 3.3
Revo seller claim that car is between 3 - 4 years old and that it don't have more than 5 operating hours (all accessories from box and box is included).

Second option:

T-MAXX 3.3
Seller claim that car is cca 1 year old and that it was only 4x driven. On this one, few modificstion was med (improvements), and also he give few spareparts and extra set of tires (pictures attached).

Modifications:
- better brake discs
- aluminium tie rods (front & rear)
- aluminium shock absorbers
- spare set of tires

No box, butball parts that came originaly in b9lox plus alp what i listed and can be seen on pictures.

Price is almost same for both cars(revo is slightly cheaper).

If someone ask me, i want REVO, but in this case T-MAXX looks much better deal.


Thank you,

That's a toughie. Those aluminum links I have been advised fail on lighter cars, let alone a heavy truck.

What ever route you go, I would re-break it in. Who knows if that did. That maxx looks mint.

What i read, everybody always say "go for REVO".
I really can't find recommendation that would suggest go for T-MAXX.
But in this case T-MAXX really looks less used and it comes with more parts/equipement.

Thank you.

Thank you.

The suspension design and travel are the reason alot say to go for it. Because they raced it and had the slayer with the same chassis seemed to create more hype.

Look up gokartking45 on youtube....... be amazed at what the tmaxx can handle.

But i'm still in between. When i'll buy it, then i'll have reall problems. With EV RC, i just charge battery and go,... with NITRO,... i don't know


How will this trx3.3 run here in Europe on 16% nitro?

 

[Alex_G]

Ok. 16% is not a problem

Now i just need to decide which to buy. T-MAXX is sold (that make decision easyer), but yes, i really like REVOs

I would only ask you guy if is not too much to look at one more car. This one i can get a bit cheaper and i think is same or even newer revision. Pictures attached.

So yes, i did sleep over and i still think that i need to have one NITRO RC in collection.

Thank you all.

I just make decision for REVO 3.3 from first post. Next week car should be in my hand, so after many many years I'll be back in NITRO RC.
Can't wait to rumble with NITRO.

Chubaka and STONER RC, thank you for your opinion.
