RE: Revo???
Affirmative, two speed transmission with no center diff, my opinion may change when they release the center diff for it with the ability to bias the brakes.

RE: Revo???
What makes people think it's a truggy? Is it because it's so dang good at racing it MUST be a truggy? It's got a 2-speed transmission... and the diffs are mounted BELOW the chassis... it is a MONSTER TRUCK.... it doesn't even resemble a truggy. Truggies are buggy/truck combos. The Revo looks NOTHING like a buggy.

Revofamily - You have some cool videos on your website. I know you upgraded to the TM323 motor. Did your Revo wheelie before the new motor? My stock Revo takes off like a rocket, but just doesn't have enough torque to wheelie.

RE: Revo???
Thanks... I got it to barely pull up the front tire... it pulled up one at a time... but never a full wheelie... not like the TM323. I've heard of a lot of people able to pop wheelies with the 2.5r, but mine wasn't one of 'em.... I think the 2.5r doesn't have the torque to pop it up all the time... but it is well-balanced for the truck. It gets it to run fast, but not waste time with wheelies. You can't win races when you are popping wheelies.

RE: Revo???
Thanks. That's just what mine does with the 2.5r. That motor does move the Revo very good, just not for wheelies. If I leaned it out till it burnt up, I might squeeze some wheelies out of it, but I want a few gallons out of it atleast.

RE: Revo???
I do them during practice, I am on a feather throttle during the race. A lot of it has to do with my Werks clutch though, it has monster hookup. [8D]

RE: Revo???
It is a MT, a completely new kind of Mt, but one none the less. It does bridge the gap with truggies and can compete with them for sure.
It is not that a truggy is faster than a MT, but rather tuning and handling that makes them great. This is where Revo steps in and is able to compete against truggies.
