Looks pretty good there so far racemaxx!! keep at it man; looking forward to seeing some pics of the "completed product"...
Thanks matt!!! I apriciate all the kind coments. I know that in some places I cut corners but I am trying to hold myself back from doing some complete fabricating to get it running as soon as possible. I can't wait to see how it handles and bashes
No problem racemaxx!! as I said before, keep at it man, u will get it perfect sooner or later(well about as close to perfect as possible anyway)

Heres one for right now. I have added the center drive shafts, the steering mount parts, I finally got to assemble the left rear suspension, and I added a pipe. Right now, all I need is a clutch bell, a header, shocks, 1 front turnbuckle and 1 rear turnbuckle, and a diffrential.

btw, racemaxx, thats smart to see that u put aluminum(I think) wheel hexes on it...that way they wont strip out the inside of the wheel if u land on it or something like that; because originally I had the stock ones on mine, until they stripped out the inside of one of my wheels, at which point I had to get the new wheel hexes and a new tire...but anyways, smart thinking as far as that goes....

Great spot there matt BUT I took it more as a tip. Those actually arn't aluminum hex's, they are custom made plastic ones. If enough strain is put on them them to strip, they will just shadder. Its kind of a breaking point so I don't twist/snap any driveshafts, etc

I'm not a big fan of e-bay but I troll through ads looking for great deals and this was a buy-it-now deal. Couldn't pass it up. Nope. This is my first Revo ever. I can't wait to see if it lives up to the rumors
Superman11, thanks for the compliment The tuning kit is extra oils and springs I believe but when it gets here, I will let u know for sure. Right now, I have maybe 200.00 in it. I traded for quite a bit of the stuff. If u don't mind me asking, what did u do to get put on moderated status? I just about got put on that for a big no no
I am looking for a good failsafe for my Revo and I have three choices. Which is better
_ofna _venom _duratrax
