Gone a while...here is my revo mods
Been away a while. Been tinkering with roll bars since I never run my body. I made a few that work pretty well. I made one out of stainless tubing but no pics. I have also put on the Ths exaust, road rages on 1/2 offset ofna dish wheels. Went to a al 2 peice clutch and it has been awesome so far. Got a hobbico 333oz steering servo and the proline al bellcrank arm. check out the pics and let me know what you think of my roll bars.
NITROVENOOOOOM!!!!!!!

Not bad. I vote for roll bar #3. #1 looks like it will bend VERY easily upon its first roll over and if it doesn't then it seems like it would bend the chassis, and #2 has one to many bolts on the top part

RE: Gone a while...here is my revo mods
Thanks Clymer and Stem. Been wanting to drive really bad this week but rain has had other ideas for me and how to spend my time. I have driven only a handle full of tanks on the new shoes but so far I am somewhat impressed. It is currently pushing in the turns and the drop in pressure has me chasing a tune. It will be soon thrashing some G's over various obstacles and through some high speed turns. I'm going to put a whoopin on my boy next time out. He's been bumpin his jaw for a while now.

RE: Gone a while...here is my revo mods
Are you sure you dont have a air leak somewhere causing the tuning issues? The stock tank seal is known for having air leaks pop up everyonce in awhile, also try running a longer pressure line. With my stock tank I like to run about a 3-4in pressure line, makes the truck run alot better.

I may try that. My tank is good though there are no air bubbles in the line from the tank to carb and I have thouroughly checked the carb. No oil out of the front bearing either. No build up around any of the mating surfaces of the block either. I will try the pressure ine idea. It has only just come up and Only ran one tank trying to retune. Thanks for the idea man.

RE: Gone a while...here is my revo mods
I think your next upgrade needs to be a motor saver air filter, $20 bucks and with a noticeable power difference, it is defiantly worth it
Nice lookin' truck, welcome back

On second thaught Fish, try 4-5in. I found my stock tank a lil bit ago and thats the length I was running. You can test back and forth if you wish and find what suits you best.
Gustaf-Im running the stock ammount of fuel line.
If your going to upgrade your filter get the Platinum edition filter, much better setup then motor saver. I own both and the PE is the way to go.

FISHHHKILLLLAAAA!!! LMAO
Nice to see you back on the forums bro! Its been pretty dead here without ya. I love the roll bars you made. Any interference with the throttle linkage? Have you blown up and motors latley? If nobody hear remembers, Fishy here was #1 when it came to blow up motors.
Still spankin people in the school parking lot? Deffinintly need to upgrade the filter. You'll get a lot more power outta that 3.3
Later bro.

RE: Gone a while...here is my revo mods
I got 12" of line to the carb and 4" of pressure. The weather has just changed here and I went back to factory so it is off a bit. Next time out I will dial it again. No blown motors since this last one. I have not been driving as much lately. I usually don't roll dale but just in case. I do alot of street bashing. I will look into the PE filter for sure. Yeah merrit I think it was 3 or 4. Never paid a dime for the replacements either. Lucky dog I guess... I still need to get some vid. Lata guys

I haven't seen him around much... Seems like I went away for a few months and the whole forum changed lol.
By the way, how is your truck that low to the ground man? What kind of springs and oil are you running?
