i am going to pick up a new losi 427 w/ teal head(stock in the muggy) to put in my revo. i will be using the trinity pipe i used on the 3.3 with the trinity bigblock header. i am wondering if there is anything specific u will need to change out. i checked the diffs and they have steel gears, and i will be doing forward only conversion. i plan to swap the stock shafts for cvd's eventually. i believe i am using 17/36 gears to tame the torque, and get a lil speed [>:]. just looking for a few tips and tricks to help it perform better.

Upgrade to alum diff cups and back the slipper off a bit. Get a better pipe then the trinity,its a good pipe for small blocks but doesn't alow BB's to breath enough and get all the power out that the motor has. I've been wanting to drop a mach 427 teal head in my revo for awhile now but haven't had the extra cash,but this winter I will have the extra cash so the revo is gonna be having a heart transplant.

i did replace the diff cases with integy(got em for free) i've been thinking about a side pipe configuration, but the 427 drained my humble 16 y.o. funds. i have a 086 pipe on my buggy that i been eyeing, but have a habbit of letting my friend drive one while i drive, as im trying to convince him to go nitro. but thank you for the info, and best of luck with your revo, im hoping to break it in sunday.

A big block Revo....now that's how it should be.

it looks great, but the roto start hits the rear arm, and i need another $40 to get the right backplate

Depending on how much the roto start is hitting on the a-arm you can shave some material off the arm.

i wouldn't use the Trinity pipe on it. That pipe is for the 3.3, which is smaller than the .27 big block you're putting in it, get a pipe that's made for the engine you're putting in it.

To CLYMER122693- The rotostart goes beyond the arm, i would have to completely remove a section of the arm with no connective parts, but i when the hobby shop told me $40 i did some research and found the part i wanted for $13.99. i want the p/s eliminator off the werks .26 and they tried to sell me the one off the grp .28

And to Sfar785- i plan to retro-fit a bigblock pipe on the revo, as i have the bigblock header to keep the new exhaust in the stock location except for maybe moving the hanger.

To Everyone- as i do plan to get a new tuned pipe for the revo, i was wondering if you all have any suggestions. it would be ideal to get a mid-top end pipe to tame some of the torque of the bigblock but i do love the occasional wheelie[>:] i have no problems buying a high dollar pipe, but i would like to avoid buku and such pipes. but any and all adivce will be very helpful, as i have limited experience with big blocks. i mostly deal with 1/10 scale except for the 2 motors i've had in my buggy, the force .28 (stock) and the delta super 8p w/ boost. thank you all very much!

My Feedback: (1)

i have a revo with a lrp .28 that i have configured a side mount pipe, i used a hpi hellfire pipe and header. the header is key because u need one that will give the pipe enough clearance from the body. I have a bunch of pics with the sidemount if you would like some ideas, just shoot me your email and i will send them.
