Upgrades

[NitroNewb]

I was thinking about a few upgrades to the 3.3. One being the center diff. From what I'm told on here that will help keep the front down. I also want to extend the wheelbase. Would the extended wheelbase arms be good for this in combo with my Response Pro tires or is there a better way?
Also considering the sway bar kit. Would the wing and new bumper be required for this? Does it help cornering? We pretty much just use the Revo for racing now so it makes it easier to set up and leave alone. Lil Andretti came in 3 of 11 last Sunday (8 had DNF) but we had a few random shut downs. I think I messed it up when I ran the Nitrotane through it without adjustments. I'm thinking heat problem.
Any advice would be appreciated.

If you install a center diff, it is must that you also install the rear brake kit.

If you don't, you will only have front brakes.

I"m just curious, how long are the mains at the track where you guys race?

 

[NitroNewb]

The mains are 15 min unless it's a trophy race then it's 20 min. The 3 qualifiers are 5 min each.

What about the sway bar kit and the extended wheelbase arms.??

Sway bars and rear extended arms help tons. I can drive my Revo faster and more consistlently than one without these items. 1/2 inch offset wheels and tires such as the new LPRs from proline help a lot. They make the steering razor sharp. Zero offset wheels slowed my lap times down by 2 seconds! The truck was just not stable enough.
The rear extended arms cut the wheelies way down. Just try those mods first, then decide if you want a center diff. I don't run a center diff and I can hang with the average truggy driver easily. I will end up with the center diff one day, I just don't see the need for it at the moment.

So you think just going with the sway bars and rear extended arms
is a good place to start. I think I'll do that. Wait on the center diff. Thanks for everyones input.
