KRO: not true bud, you have things to make it LIKE the Platinum bud. Theres a few things you would have to use 3rd party for...the reasons to buy the truck in my mind. The Radio boxes, new filter, new shocks, and most importantly a 150cc tank that fits in the stock balanced location, not up and higher than the battery.
One really nice thing about the new rx/batt box is it is very high. You aren't going to case and break it like a Tekno or the stock Revo one.
Well we each have our own opinions , I myself think the stock location for the tank is too far back and makes the trucks rear too heavy , same with the battery . I converted to a single servo and the RX box sits where the servo was .
I am hoping one of my buds gets one of these platinum REVO's so I can run against one , cause I can pretty much smoke a stock REVO on the track .
