now, now, now. Let's not start a war here! Upon checking out alot of different options, I opted for a Kyosho MadForce. Now everyone behave!!!
Interesting choice... what were the deciding factors?
Yes, because it is possible to bend properly designed 4mm thick 6082-T6 aluminum TVPs under any practical bashing conditions. Your Revo's chassis would bend in half before my TVPs even began to undergo elastic deformation. But before that, you would be snapping your brittle composite suspension arms, and ripping through your 6061-0 butter soft hinge pin braces.
Who said anything about "practical" bashing conditions? My Revo's chassis has not had any problems except for bending the engine mounting tab from 4 years of abuse... I haven't broken a suspension arm from bashing for quite a long time (~2 years)... never had a hinge pin or hinge pin brace fail yet in 4 years of hard bashing.... my offer still stands. I'd put my "unintelligently modded" Revo against anything you've got... even highly-modded....
LOL... I'd love to see you out accellerate me and have a higher top speed with that Picco .28 and a 12lb+ truck. I've got almost the same HP / TQ numbers as you do... with a 3lb lighter truck... not to mention better gear ratios.
