I'm going to use sum more of my technical lingo and say MW has one of dem der rubber thingy's on his pipe!

Thanks Ray, I appreciate the compliments! I still need to replace the toe links with the aluminum or Lunsford ones and yeah, the roll bar is an absolute change, your right!

Yeah, that rubber thing is an exhaust deflector. I tried using one of Jet's condoms, but it was no where near long enough. :hehe:

I actually have it turned upside down, because even with it, exhaust still blew right on the rear A-arms. It's a CVEC pipe with the OS header, but the header doesn't break rearward far enough (which is kind of a pain, really). But, the deflector does the trick and was only a buck or two!

Anyhow, thanks again! Would like to see some pictures of your rig sometime!

I'm kind of lost here.

Does this mean I will brake 5 sets of stock shocks before I brake 1 set of PB's? Or does it mean that I my suspension will be 5 times more responsive? Or does it mean that I will only have to fill them 1 time for every 5 times I would have to fill other shocks?

What does better mean, again I'm lost with your statement.

I'll post pictures but only if you like dirty stock Revos :hehe:


Well it's not all stock I guess...I just found out my Revo came with those RPM turnbuckles w/bigger barings :ahh: It's good to buy used Revos through Bruce ;) So far I got: aluminum shock ends, RPM turnbuckles ( or knuckles can't recall their name), 9" pressure hose, and aluminum hex hubs. Things I'm thinking of buying so far:

wheels/tires ( need something that bits more)
blue roll bar
MX3 transmitter
fail safe
silver shock caps and spring retainers
Springs and shock oil ( still researching this)
Spool ( rear only)
Tuned pipe
Aluminum push rods frt/bk

That should kick me in the wallet for this month and next month lol I'm also thinking of one of those exhaust deflectors also for the Revo. It may help on clean ups a little more.

Thanks
Ray

Hey what can I say, I'm hung like a skittle, but you know I blow the sides right out of a tuna can!
 
I think I just learned some kind of lesson on wrecking your truck with aftermarket parts on it. It cost more to replace them than the cheap stockers lol

I smashed an RPM hub/turnbuckle w/big barings today :( It's not to bad but you have to buy them in pairs of two for around 30.00 buxs. Just figured I would mention that for those people hoping up their rides :)
 
Ray, see your other thread. RPM has a lifetime warranty Surprised you broke them!
 
Ya, I just found that out about the warrante on another thread.


Anyways, this stuff has been happing all my life...if it's something that normaly don't break, I'm going to break it and not because I'm trying to lol I guess that means I need to buy only RPM products ;)
