RE: where are all the revo owners???
They are all on the Traxxas forums patting each other on the back saying, "Hey, its not the size that matters...Its what you do with it". Honestly though, im shocked. I expected a ton of hype over any new Traxxas product.

RE: where are all the revo owners???
yep, i'm wondering too. the board just lit up when the lst's hit. maybe the revos are just starting to hit the shelves.
i'm looking forward to reading about it
hey matt, why don't you get a revo and then you can do a revo vs. lst shootout for us

RE: where are all the revo owners???
yeah I have been wondering the same thing???
I was waiting to hear bashing and racing stories but nothing.
The ones that do have it all they do is take pics and thats it. I guess they
dont want it to break. Hope to hear some racing stories. Hopefully someone
buys one here in town then I can see what all the hype was about. Seems
like a dud so far. Nothing but hype from traxxas but the owners seem pretty
tight lipped.
Oh well I am happy with my LST even though I havent been able to use it yet.
Waiting for parts to get here sometime next week.
Have a machine shop making me a new engine mount, hopefully they can and
I can race at the big trophy race here in western canada

RE: where are all the revo owners???
it's not that us waiting on the revo don't have anything to say about it, but traxxas shipped out the first shipment on the 9th of july according to there website. horizon got that shipment and has sent the shipments of revo out on the 14th of july to lhs, so it won't be until next week that we start getting them. matter of fact where i live in florida i called about the revo and they told me next week but they got in an one LST today from horizon. so we are still waiting, and believe me when they start making it to the lhs you will know when everyone start talking about them.

RE: where are all the revo owners???
We are patiently waiting. Im pretty sure it wont be a disapointment!!!!!! Id rather wait a few extra days than be complaining about the truck like the guys in the Genisis thread
Ronz why havent you been able to use your LST. Seems like your doing the same thing with your LST as you claim the Revo owners are doing. What do you mean your waiting for parts?????
Ive never heard of someone taking a new truck and sitting it on the shelf because they wanted to hop it up first.. You do this but at the same time say this about Revo owners. Are you sure you werent talking about yourself when you posted!!!!!!!!!!!!
you say your happy with it but you havent run it . I guess your happy looking at it????
This is not an LST bash its just that that post makes no sense

RE: where are all the revo owners???
this is getting really bad, i had hope to get my revo on friday but no luck then when i get there they tell me even worse news. according to horizon the first shipment has already went out on the 14th of july. so if i don't get it today then that'll mean i'll have to wait for the second shipment which horizon doesn't even get until the 26th of july, which means i'm looking about the first week of AUGUST. and if the second shipment doesn't come by the first week of AUGUST then i should get one on the third shipment in AUGUST which would be the last week in AUGUST or first week of SEPTEMBER. This SUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is the info my lhs got fom horizon, now the guys at my hobby shop love playing jokes so i'm praying this is one of them.

I guess I missed this one after I bought my REVO.
PRESENT! check out my "The REVO is mine!!!" topic I keep it updated and I will post a review after I'm done breaking in and tuning and had a chance to run it several times, I may wait 'till saturday when one of my dads friend and his friends go to a churt(sp?) pit and run thiers.

RE: where are all the revo owners???
i would love to run a thread on the mayhem if i could get one. i found out yesterday that the mayhem comes from horizon, which is where the revo comes from to get to my lhs. but the mayhem hasn't hit the shelves yet either. so it's like all down hill from here. i'll have to wait until august for either one of them. this is a sad month in my history of r/c.

RE: where are all the revo owners???
I'm wondering the same thing "where are all the revo owners" there is one person on this board that has a revo and there are atleast 8 people that have LST's. I didnt even know the revo was out so when i saw it at earl's hobby hanger in logan UT. i almost fainted. I didnt even know it was out yet. I saw it last friday (july16) and he said he had had the truck in since tue(july13). They only had one revo and four LST's but they sold all the lst's before i even got there. I was kind disapointed by how much breakable plastic this truck had so i'm eager to hear from a bashing report. You guys have to feel the suspension on this truck because it super plush. Needless to say i didnt have $460 with me so i dont have one.

Unfortunatly only a few people got there Revos on the first shipment. A lot of hobby shops only got one. My LHS told me that his distributor ordered 2000 Revos and was only getting 30 or 40!![:@] It could take a while for everyone to get there Revo at this rate.[&o]
