I am very big on F1 and will be watching the race later today so I understand about the shocks. All so I do not do HPI RTR as after my original Rush all my HPI have been kits. It has been over 5 years since I got my Rush so I do not remember about the radio in it, as most of my stuff has been upgrade to FM. As far as shocks I do not see this use on 1 to 1 trucks. I am not saying the shocks on the Revo are not good.

I all so take very little stock in magazine reviews as how many times have you seen a bad review as the magazine makes most of there money selling advertising to the RC world and if they give a bad review what is this going to do?

If you like your Revo that is all that matters and I am happy for you.
