You don't need the battery as your Revo already has a flat 5 1100 in it.

The tubes are nice to have. Saves a bit of weight and look nice, too. Same for the pushrods.

The shock ends from Golden Horizons are a good hop up, too.

I would skip the aluminum arms unless you like them for the look. If you really need a better arm because you are breakingyours, get the RPM arms.

The Crowd Pleazer 2.0 body is nice.

You did not say what engine you have, so I cannot advise on the pipe.
 
Pretty much what Revo Rancher said. Though I will add you do not need the aluminum pushrod spacers, they are for P2 rockers and come with the P2 rockers should you get them. Unless your looking for bling go with RPM arms. If your looking for an addition battery pack, get a flat pack not a hump. IMO, dual tip pipes go against the whole theory behind a tuned pipe. They look cool but really only cost more money and will hinder performance. I went with Lunsford Ti pushrods instead the Traxxas 5318X pushrods, I didn't have much luck with them. I do have the Tubes though and they are much better.
 
P2 is the preferred race setup. As far as a pipe, go with the Trinity, it comes with a header for a small block and a big block. The stock header is a piece of junk.
 
piggyback shocks are killer i have them in my 2 revos and they are like 5 times better then stock shocks and the traxas hopupshocks..
go with the 25 pound in back with 60 wt oil and 22 pound spring in front.with 40 wt oil in front.. it is a killer combo and works great i can take any jump and know i can land it and nothing will extend or break..

they are made by integy

From my experience get the Lunsford Ti pushrods for the P2's and then get the Traxxas Tubes for the steering and toelinks. The lunsford toe-links have not been holding up well.

Bling, bling! That's all. Running stocks with Nitride shafts and I run hard on track. Best setup, IMO!

Thats not so...I dig the info very much but I'm probaly the only Revo owner who doesn't know what they look like :sorry:
 
I guess I should rephraise may post a bit.


I know what piggy back shocks are...just never seen them on a Revo.

"eveyone" (sic) does not know this, so help out and post a link for the product. Don't be lazy!

BTW, they add a lot of weight, so for serious racing they are automatically a no-no. They have not had the complaints of easily bending the shock shafts like the MSR4' s used on the Maxx series, so they might be good for bashing.

post pics and links or they dont care .. lol

Ummmm, I don't think my setups are in question here. Nor do I think anyone will tell the difference between shock shafts in a picture. I've posted plenty pix of my Revo here and shared many setup preferences.

I'm just going to come right out and say it right here, right now... NOBODY believes you! Since you say you have all this stuff that your brother, whom you haven't spoken to in years, all of sudden drops top cash on a bunch of trucks for you and he but you don't have a digi cam to take some pix to show your Revo's with all these hop-ups you have. You obviously don't get it, people here no a bullshitter when one pops up his ugly little head and everyone here is having a hard time buying your little fable, that is why we want to see pix.
 
Revo I am on it too...Pit you have stated that you just started in this hobby around a month ago...

Then you post this...
hmm siro iv had allmost every one of my siro's do this at one time or nother..
