Hey guys,

I am thinking of getting the new revo 3.3 this weekend so i just wanted to see some pics maybe and how well you think it is. I have a tmaxx .15 and its going to be a shelf queen, 8 years old. Thank you.

I'm going to get it this weekend also, still hesitant due to no reverse. Sweet truck though!

Well, I bought the old revo 3.3 three months ago and my reverse gear is about done and I've used it like 10 times.

Forward only conversion on the way.

I wouldn't worry about it because you'd probably drop it later instead of fixing it, seems to be what most people do anyway.

Just my opinion.

ANY REASON TO WHY YOU WANT TO GET THE REVO. I HAVE THE NEW 3.3 AND ITS NOTHING IMPRESSIVE. AFTER I PUT ANOTHER 300 INTO ITS ABOUT UPTO PAR WITH MY NEW RTX-27 STOCK PRETTY SAD IF YOU ASK ME. THE ONLY THING MY REVO HAS OVER THE STOCK RTX-27 IS TOP END OTHER THAN THAT THE RTX KILLS THE REVO IN HANDLING AND BASHING. NO QUESTIONED ASKED THERE.

Ive herd that the rtx-27 is weak and the tranny will break idk. Is the rtx-27 anything to look at.....

uneze

I HAVE REPLACED EVERY THING ON IT INCLUDING MOTOR.(NOW HAS OS MOTOR ) IT WAS AND STILL A GOOD TRUCK EVERY TIME I TOOK IT OUT SOMETHING BROKE. I BOUGHT THE REVO 3.3 A MONTH OR SO AGO AND THE ONLY PROBLIM I HAD WAS KEEPING THE WHEELS TIGHT SOME REMOVEIBL LOC TIGHT TOOK CARE OF THAT AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS YET...

Ya revo are strong i think ill stick with it, that savage xl still looks sweet tho.

rcmadness09

You better have deep pockets if you know what i mean. im just giving you heads up is all.

i love my Revo, i bought it for my wife to use while i'm out racing my 8ight, but i liked racing it in the monster truck class.

rcmadness09

The only thing that's as tough as the rtx is the savage. I can tell you know i own the revo 3.3 and if i knew what i do now about this truck i would have never got the revo. the only downside to the rtx is the motor. try it and trust me you will like it.

Hey rcmadness let it go. Hes getting a revo so stop ruining it for him. If you dont like it dont comment. Hey shibby the revos great and I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.

rcmadness09

Its all good. just making pointers is all. isn't that what these forums are for.

sfar785

i like my Revo a lot better than my Savage X i had, but i race the monster trucks every other weekend

ChaosEngine

the revo is my first rc since turbo hoppers were cool.. its an awsome machine, handles very well, and set up properly, easily makes enough power to lift the front wheels, into second gear on pavement

i just googled that RTX-27, and besides big.. it doesnt look to great to me.. it actually looks clunky, and awkward [sm=lol.gif]

but thats just my opinion!

rcmadness09

here is the review on the RTX-27 here check it out. [link]http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/article_display.cfm?article_id=1017[/link]

KRO

Sorry , that RTX-27 is just a re hashed , re done Warhead . Pretty much the same lame truck , just a few mods and different wheels .

The REVO 3.3 if tuned and ran correctly is a great truck out of the box , and the newest version has done away with the weak reverse which makes the tranny alot more reliable .....

rcmadness09 , I dont know what troubles you had with your REVO , maybe you got a lemon ? User error ? IDK .....

sfar785

9 times out of 10, the problems with a Traxxas is user error, hence the reason the Traxxas Customer Support tries not to laugh when you explain that the problem with your Traxxas vehicle is their fault

rcmadness09

I have the new revo and it don't give me no problems none what so ever after a few upgrades its perfect. the only point i am telling this guy is out the box i feel the rtx is a better built truck and handles better on track. thats out the box. Don't knock the rtx tell you have seen it run. that's my point. its everything the warhead wasn't then some. I race my trucks on track and am amazed with this rtx it handles jumps and corners like i wish my revo could.

matts6887

Yep!! +1 to that. I too have a revo and cant say enough good things about it, but I have the "older" version that does have reverse...

My Feedback: (52)

I have my 3rd revo now. I never upgraded the first 2 in any way and they were great trucks. The latest revo has been upgraded in many ways and I'm shocked at the difference I see. The revo is awsome and with a few upgrades and a little time it can be even better, extremly better. Did'nt know what I was missing out on with my first two.

The Hedgehog

I just got the newer Revo 3.3 (5803).
Out of the box the thing is INCREDIBLY durable, only upgrades needed for racing are different springs and possible new tires.

Stay away from the Duratrax for sure, the Revo is an incredible truck. I do not see any Duratrax's at the track

Very Strong, very durable, very fun! I can't wait to race mine tomorrow again (I bash too).

i have a 2.5 revo and dropped a 3.3 and could not be more impressed.

Auto, you are right and I don't want people to think they have to upgrade their revo to have a good one. What I meant was it is incredible out of the box and really amazine if you want to upgrade it some.

The Hedgehog

Ohhhh I gotcha! I was just letting people know that out of the box it is great if you choose too leave it alone. I took mine to the track the day after I broke it in, and all I really need to do is tune the suspension!
