Default *PICS*The REVO is mine!*PICS*

I picked up a REVO.

Funny story, I was looking for another rc place in town to put my name on a list and buy one for 479.99 when avail., but my dad couldnt find it, so we stopped at the one he knew of, and lo and behold a brand new revo sitting on the shelf for 449.99 I almost soiled myself in pride.

I'm charging my RX pack as we speak, I'm gonna go to a nearby church to break it in later this evening.

If you have any questions, ask!?

i'm through tank 1, and recharging the RXpack [&:] I've heard they need to be broke in too so they can hold a full charge, I dunno. I have heard of the servos fighting each other and they seem hot, We're charging up the RX now gonna go for tank 2 and see what happens. This things cries for more at 1/4 throttle

My father has one on order, a freind that owns a hobby shop ordered them in bulk, so my dad gets his for $409.99![X(]

As for the steering servos, re-set the servo arms to center, to keep them from fighting each other. And make sure they're working in the same direction.

Enjoy your Revo.

If the servos are fighting each other and getting hot, FIX IT FAST! the servos will burn up if they are fighting each other.

Well my only question is a request for an in-depth review of the Revo as you break it in and run it around. I'm interested in how this truck performs, so please keep us informed.

ok, we got the battery charged, and looked at the rods and they were the same length, but we have found one of the steering servos dont turn, other will turn fine as long as it isnt attached to the non-turning one.

My dad took it apart to look at it and it looked like the gears came out a little and locked up, but we fixed that, check it, it will turn without the attachment from servo to rod, but with it, it will not turn [&:] if we can get through this i dont expect any more problems []

Hey Bam, not sure if revo has the ball cups in the steering knuckles like the MGT, but try to move the knuckles without the servos linked up to them. If the knuckles dont turn easy than adjust them to where they do. If its not that then look for any obstructions that is causing it to not steer, watch as you turn the wheels by hand.

So bam, you need to get a new servo, put it in. So what caused it to mess up like that? Did you find out what was wrong?
