Yesterday I got some money for graduation(not all money I'm getting though). I have $75, and I want to upgrade my Revo. My Revo is pretty much stock. What do you guys suggest I should get?

RPM Stuff?
Trinity pipe?
Anything else?

What about bocca bearings? They make kits too and they look sweet. Didn't some people have a problem with a stiff roll bar? Didn't it bend the chassis?

you can save a lil money and go with CNR dual brakes. They make great brakes http://www.crazynutracing.com/product_info.php?products_id=369

Bought a set for my t-maxx after hearing about them on UE and they are fabulous. Do bad they put $5 for shipping now, it was free when I got them

save your 75 bucks for when you break it then you got the money to fix it immediately.

do i detect a hint of sarcasm? if so then he's only trying to help. you obviously just got $75 and want to spend it immediately, but somwtime the best thing to do is sit back and ask "do i need this right now". like i started to make a list of a few bits and pieces i wanted, RPM stuff, RRP stuff, etc. before i knew it the list was well over $300. im just gonna buy when i break. I would be pissed if i spent $60 on a set of RPM all round and took my revo out and broke my engine mount or watever.

so, keeping your money is always something to consider, and 90% or the time, you'll be happy you didnt blow all your cash

but in this situation its only $75 so just go buy some RPM arms or sumthin. better yet, get uor 2.5r modded!!!!

Actually, I wasn't trying to be sarcastic, but now that I look at it, it seems as if I was. I decided to spend some, not all of it. I am getting more money for graduation later on I think(Saturday). I will then look into RPM stuff, trinity pipe, and possibly a new engine.

And weez440, sry if I offended u.

For the money you have to spend the only worth while upgrade for that money is the RPM A-Arms or to save your money for things that break.

I decided to get some RPM A-Arms and RPM Axle Carriers off of Ebay, it was a great deal, $84 for the set. I payed with Credit Card because Paypal is slow with clearing payments and I want the parts as soon as I can get them, so I have to call tomorrow and confirm the payment. Thanks guys for your suggestions, and I'll get back to you on how I like the RPM stuff.
