wanting to race

[aussie]

hi this is yet another newbie, and i have a few question for you. can i race my revo in the truggy class or the monster truck class, or what is your opinion on what class i should run. Is there any parts on a revo platinum that i would not be able to fit onto my revo. thanks

It's a monster truck, no matter which way you look at it.

 

[carpenterman23]

well the pe has a longer frame if i remeber right. but 99% are interchangable. i have the 5308 model, and added the pe parts to it. i.e sway bars, rear brake, center diff, and red toelinks and push rods, and wing kit. i built my truck from the ground up and it cost a 3rd of what pe does used.

 

[5MClan]

The PE, 5308, and 5309 are the same exact chassis.....except the PE is silver and has etching on it.

since everybody is arguing differences the answer to your question would definately be MT. see you out at lazy M

 

[5MClan]

No arguments here, merely letting him know about the chassis. Hope it didn't appear I was, wasn't my intention.

thanks very much that has cleared things up for me

I raced mine in sportsman truggy and monster truck last season..I raced the truggy class to get more lap time at the track on Sundays and I finished 2nd in MT so that practice payed off.I almost grabbed a top 3 spot in sportsman truggy but a tangle with some others on the first lap in A main ended that.I think I won at least one race in truggy though.Driving skills being equal the truggy will lay down faster times for sure although I have only raced one time with my truggy and I think the lap times are the same because I am not used to the truggy yet. I really enjoy MT racing.

 

[5MClan]

Right on.
