I am so frustrated that I can hardly see straight, but it is what it is. Almost got done with my break in, 5.5 tanks in when low and behold something terrible happens to me; I wreck the truck at about 26MPH into a curb. I feel like a jackass already so please let the jokes begin. Long story short I will have to make a trip to the LHS to pick up an upper suspension arm, toe link, and rod ends! Oh well I know that they break but damn; this has been the most stressfull time I have had in a while! So once again my break in period is halted; the good thing is that I only have half a tank once I am done fixing her up again! Oh and I will be upgrading my toe links tomorrow all the way around!
 
Also you might want to consider upgrading the arms to RPM. RPM arms have a lifetime warranty on them.
 
Okay after a little more frustration I got the punk back to normal; wow what a time it was too, for anyone who says the Revo is easy to work on I would hate to see hard! Even though I could do the same task with ease now, the first time was a pain in the neck! Damn shame, I can fix an F-16 but got my butt kicked by a RC car! Oh well looks better than new, I guess I will get back to breaking it in tomorrow!!

Breaking it is the best part because it forces you to upgrade :D

LMAO, this is true, I mean I am almost done upgrading the whole suspension when I only broke one suspension arm, one tie rod, and ball end!
 
And sixty dollars later, it'll cart wheel and bounce off all kinda poop now. Did ya put the RPM arms on? Basically same thing happened to my revo, but I got t-boned by a rustler and broke a steering knuckle and upper a arm. So far upgraded the suspension, did the foward on conversion, put 50k in rear diff. And still haven't ran a gallon thru er. Oh also replaced the motor twice, Turns out the second time was a bad EZstarter. Now usin a pull starter. Oh what fun! No really I love it!
 
All that damage? You must have been going 27mph. Seriously, it's all part of the hobby. If I had to rate the revo from 1-10 on ease of repair, I'd give it a 4, with 10 being an f-16.:D
