crzsteveo,
I've made a Gymkhana from an Ofna Drift chassis, and it works great! My thread on it is on the second page of the drift forum somewhere........
EDIT: STOOPUDme....It's in my first entry, here!
Casper06,
It will still make a good "grip" car. With some sticky tires, and tightening up the suspension, it will do pretty well. It'll give the HPICup Racers and Tamiya MO5's a run for their money. Don't bash it up jumping it quite yet.....It may still be good for on-road!!
The E-Revo chassis is still the premier off-road monster truck chassis, and Traxxas should have really thoughtit out more, before releasing it as the rally. Their "on-road" line has been suspect for years, because they haven't spent ANYtime developing anything on-road. They don't even make noticeable changes in their off-road line for years. Evidence their earlier E-Maxx and T-Maxx lines. Both of those went five years or more without significant (and sorely needed) changes.
I used to love Traxxas, but now they are only in it for profit, and what makes it worse is the obviousness of it, and the magazines are willing accomplices to it.
Building a well- thought out kit is still the best way to get exactly what you want, and while you may spend a bit more, you will at least have the best representation of what it is you wanted. My Ofna Gymkhana is evidence of that.
