ORIGINAL: R6racer2 There are so many Traxxas fanboys out there...thats embarrasing. Seriously, just because you own something doesnt make it the best, just accept that there may be a product out there that is better. The suspension on the Revo ISNT new technology, yet people love to make that a reason why the Revo is sooo great (new technology). The XTM X-Factor has pushrods, and cantalevers connected to shocks too..whoopdy doo. http://www.rushrc.com/images/used/Veteq08.jpg Notice the shocks same front and rear |

Well i think its revolutinary cause they ar the first who brought that design to monster trucks..I really like the design of the revo i find it to be more appealing than the tnx for some reasons...But i am a tnx owner as well and i am just happy for tamiya...

RE: ! ! . : T N X wins RCCA Monster Madness : . ! !
maybe Traxxas should have made something fast..instead of look cool

RE: ! ! . : T N X wins RCCA Monster Madness : . ! !
yea this revo vs. tnx stuff is like mustang vs. camaro except it wont go on for decades

i have no problem with using an excisting design,but man dont say you came up with it. |
RE: ! ! . : T N X wins RCCA Monster Madness : . ! !
The TNX is the superior racing machine, no doubt.

RE: ! ! . : T N X wins RCCA Monster Madness : . ! !
okay ya so there are a couple of other vehicle with the f1 suspension, so does that make it worse? its still very original, every other monster truck out there somewhat based on the t-maxx. i still dont see why people have to hate the revo so much and try to find anyway they can to put it down and make their truck look better, and then when someone sticks for traxxas, they suddenly because an obbsesive traxxas fanboy who deserves to die. im sure that the os .18 thats in the tnx puts out more torque then the trx2.5r, and we all know how important torque is in mt racing, but im sure if there were two more revo drivers out there then they would win all the time. every race slaydan at leat gets a podium finish.

Not trying to start anything here, and those that know me also know I'm very much into light weight production class MT racing and race a maxx based Pro Hobby truck. First off, the TNX has tons of potential, but if you can find a topless shot of the truck(s) being run by the two factory guys, take a minute to really look at it. Even better, put it next to a pic of a stock TNX. I think you will find that these trucks are a very modified version of the original. This is where the above statement about the TNX having potential comes in. Either truck OTB stock would be a good race truck in the very skilled hands of a pro, but for the average hack like myself and most others here, both trucks need more than a little TLC to be a good racer for us. In short, before this thread goes any further down the "Mine's better than your's because I like mine more than your's." tubes, step back and take a deep breath. The TNX is the new kid on the block so at the moment it suffers from poor aftermarket support, but due to the increasing popularity of the platform based on it's winning ways, that will soon change. Is the TNX that much better than the traxxas, or is it just a bunch of smoke and mirrors manipulated by a couple of VERY talented drivers? Only time will tell. In the meantime, ask yourself how many TNX's are winning club level races. Not trying to toss water on the TNX at all, just saying it's a bit early to be crowning it king of all race trucks.

Not trying to toss water on the TNX at all, just saying it's a bit early to be crowning it king of all race trucks. One more thing .. A newbie is looking at the Revo and TNX naked, and sees the shear difference in setups, they're going to choose the Revo because it just looks cooler. They don't care if it breaks more, needs more parts, wins races, etc. All that is another world away in their mind. |

RE: ! ! . : T N X wins RCCA Monster Madness : . ! !
os you guys are like kids, the tnx won good for it, th erevo came 3rd how did that happen? Traxxas is saying that came up this suspension? it is indy car suspension but bigger. traxxas=trucks that turn people into "my truck is better then your truck" people
mostly |

RE: ! ! . : T N X wins RCCA Monster Madness : . ! !
The devil is in the details folks, and it's the small ones and the ones you can't see that will kill you. So far on the TNX we have different wheels/tires, shocks, and modded C hubs from one post and relocated/removed components from another post. What about the shock mounts? Can we just buy them or will we have to make something up for whatever shocks we decide to use? What kind of shocks are the factory guys using? What kind of springs? How much was trimmed from where, and why was it trimmed? Did the tank have a primer valve or a plug where one was? if not, what kind of tank was it? What about the clutch? Was it OTB stock, modded stock, something altogether different? What about brakes? How were the diffs set up? The list is as long as the number of components on any given race platform.
It really doesn't matter if it's a TNX, revo, or whatever, good race cars are always tweaked to the gills by their owners. I'm real happy with the truck I have now, but I'm sure before it's all over I'll try both a TNX and a revo. |
RE: ! ! . : T N X wins RCCA Monster Madness : . ! !
..what racer wouldnt change tires?..what racer wouldnt run better shocks?..the TNX has only one place to mount the shocks..and if u look on teh factory driver trucks..thats where they are mounted...if u wanna know about springs..grab a mag..each driver used a different set up...one used losi shocks..with yellow springs..another used proline powerstroke..with stock springs...To my knoweledge only Jun trimmed some plastic off of his C-hubs to get a lil more steering...thats sumtin anyone can do...yes they removed primers. was it necessary..no..they run stock clutch..stock gearing...they prolly adjusted the brakes to there liking..like anyone would..
what was the point of making ur post?...thats like saying...they put 2 degree toe in the rear...thats a mod..not box stock..if u would just look at the published pictures in magazines..or close ups from the net..you will see that they are stock trucks..minus shocks and tires...making adjustments to whats already on the truck..is not moding it..its tweaking.. |

OK, SLOW AND SIMPLE FOR THOSE OF YOU (REPETE) TOO THICK HEADED TO GET MY POINT WHEN I TRY TO BE NICE ABOUT IT.
THERE NO SINGLE DO ALL, END ALL, OUT OF THE BOX RACE TRACK KILLER. EVERY R/C VEHICLE HAS IT'S STRONG POINTS AND WEAK POINTS. EACH DRIVER ALSO HAS THE SAME. THE TRICK IS TO FIND A STOCK PLATFORM THAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT OF CHANGE. WHAT WORKS WELL FOR YOU MAY NOT WORK WELL FOR THE NEXT GUY. |
