RE: The next step

I'm not a Traxxas hater per se and with that being said the Revo models IMO are the most impressive of the brand they handle very well and from what I've seen hold up as well.

RE: if your spur is tight....

If you're going from a 31T pinion to a 22T pinion chances are that you will need a larger (dia/T) spur unless you do some grinding.

RE: Ok Honestly. WHats what?

My opinion is that if you're going to bash then the Monster trucks are the bomb. E-Revo over E-Maxx as it'll handle much better. If you ever plan on racing at all then the Slash.
