I doubt that they will come out with a new one either anytime soon because just as the above poster mentioned they did come out with that limited production race-ready Revo....although I gotta admit it would be interesting to see what else they may have up their sleeve....[)]

" we are always looking at and developing new products however, due to the nature of this business, we make it a practice not to talk about what may or may not be in research and development"
that's my guess
anybody got a different idea?

RE: revo 3.3?
oh i'm talking about the forum about your revos shift servo, and nitrovenom said that the hi-tech HS-55 sub micro servo should fit?, but about this opi-drive when did they come out with a new version? and i thought you had to run opi-drive with that two speed transmission to make it shift? if you can't tell i dont know much about traxxas[X(] other than what i see on there website and my brother in laws t-maxx, and what i read of course.

RE: revo 3.3?
the opti drive is not to let (or help) it shift
it's to prevent shifting from forward to rev while the truck is moving
there are two versions
the older was basically
just a sensor
the newer version has a failsafe built in too
either one can be removed w/o affecting truck operation
you just have to be careful to stop completely before shifting
if you remove it

RE: revo 3.3?
I have a Revo 2.5r... and even though they released the Revo 3.3 after it... I'm still satisfied.... I'm even thinking about buying a 3.3 chassis, brace, and driveshafts... not because I necessarily want a 3.3 Revo... but because my chassis is bent.... and instead of paying the same amount for replacement parts, I'd rather upgrade.

RE: revo 3.3?
Its been a while since they updated the revo,so dont be surprised if they release a new version.Im not talking about the race version but a more affordable and updated version.

i'm guessing that they'll tell you something like
" we are always looking at and developing new products however, due to the nature of this business, we make it a practice not to talk about what may or may not be in research and development"
that's my guess
anybody got a different idea?

Hello,
I don't know. Our Engineering department does not release information on what they are planning next. Just keep an eye out on www.traxxas.com since that is where our new product information shows up first!

RE: revo 3.3?
Well they need to give some hint at least saying ' we are coming out with an improved product' or something like that so at least we have something to hope for[&:]
