Are those the old tires in the video? They look chrome and the BJ are black.
BTW, who was the one that almost fell like 5 times, LOL.
 
you love a video :)

Got some more parts turn up including the brake kit as the single brake with FOC is poop.

Also some toe links and push links for the rear of the car

The are ProLine Trenchers, i was looking at the Traxxas racing wheels these was the closest thing i could find as the other was out of stock

THEY ARE MASSIVEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will let you know how i get on my FAT JOE's are on ebay :D
 
last night i was sat down with a bud and managed to complete the revo build.

Had 2 screws left at the end but I'm 99% sure these was from a spare packet i opened. I checked the car over to confirm :p:

The tyres look mental, I ordered them as they was the closed thing to the Traxxas pro line racing wheels. Which are now in stock :angry:

Any problems?

Is it all run in now ok? What do you make of it?
Click to expand...

according to the manual it needs 2-3 tanks of fuel!

This is no way true, I'm on about my 5th tank and its still running in.

however, this engine is MAD!!!

even if you slightly touch the trigger it wants to fly off.

I've heard people saying they need 15 tanks before they really losen up

very pleased with the picco... :D
 
Yep. Mine came alive at circa 15 tanks. Idle became stable too.

I've trashed gears in my transmission, trashed rear diff, but wouldn't change out my Picco now for the world. I love it.
