I hope they don't as I just re acquired the Revo 3.3 that my buddy Wes gave me before passing away. I traded it for 2 slash 2wds and an ecx amp 2wd. I electric converted it before I traded it, and I just got it back trading a slash 4x4 for it.Soooo... Associated is RE REing the RC10GT. I don't think nitro is dying, its shifting.
I also think/hope more ppl are getting over 'bashing'-sending an rc off a skateramp to see if you can find all the parts afterwards...
to 'bashing'-having some fun and banging around a few jumps in a field or a back yard, no search and rescue required. Heading back towards actual racing maybe even???
Nitro racing is awesome and will continue to be. Its got an undeniable realism to it. The noise, smell and power ARE R/C racing!
Watching a track full of these things run was a LOT of fun!!! I never actually got mine on a track.
(I still love my 1/10 carpet cars tho!
My Revo 3.3 was awesome until I blew the trans out of it. Easy fix with Jennys and FOC kits.
I LOVED how tough and fast that thing was! The angry mosquito motor smoking away, banging shifts at 30mph on the dirt driveway with no signs of topping out the throttle!!!
If Traxxas discontinues the Revo, it'll be the end of my interest in them really.
The Revo is a great design. I just can't see them dumping it.
Is it true they were created to be the top dog in the monster truck racing class?Even if they did. The revo has been out 20 years. Parts are gonna be there for a few years atleast even if they stopped production today.
Ohhhhh do a built thread for it!!!! I'd love to see this done again! These trucks handle offroad so well! I love how mine jumps too! The suspension works great!
I'll get some pics tonight and start a build thread.Ohhhhh do a built thread for it!!!! I'd love to see this done again! These trucks handle offroad so well! I love how mine jumps too! The suspension works great!
It might inspire me to dust mine off too!
The lay-down shock design is similar to Formula 1 cars. Lower ceter of gravity. I believe that part is true.

I think it was a dream they had in their head. It shot to the top in popularity, and the slaydens raced them i believe. They had hopup and setup artyicles on racing it way back when. Then it seems everyone bailed on m/ts and jumped on the shortcuts band wagon.

The 2 speed trans can be an issue. A lot of tracks only allow single speed transmissions (used to at least) because these and 3 speed Savage had unfair advantages
Single speed, forward only conversions, single speed, metal gears, opti drive delete and getting rid of the onboard smart start system were all common.
I think the OS 11k is still the carb everyone recommends as a great upgrade.

Electric or nitro?
It's the Revo 3.3. I converted it to electric. Still using the nitro transmission.
That's what I thought. If your interested i think @cbaker65 or @STONER RC moded the erevo tranny in the nitro.
I'm definitely interested in that
Not not not not...!!!Nitro nitro nitro nitro...!!!
See... mine is SUPPOSED to be smoking...Not not not not...!!!
