Got a [link=http://www.rbproducts.com/mainEn.php?part=Products&AR_Stat04=RB%20CONCEPT&GProduit=E01901-523000/R]RB Concepts TM523[/link] It's going in my Revo 3.3.

My local hobby store carries Traxxas, so thats why I bought my nitro sport and I'm VERY happy with it. I'd say both cars are similar and I'd see what your hobby store carries, cuz nothing sucks more than breaking a $2 part and having to wait a week to get it in the mail...

"hey nice looking engine you got.deff put it in your revo and i could not agree with you more with parts.i just hadd that problem and it's likeAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH[&:]."


Got it installed already, lol It came today a few hours ago. I'll take some pics this weekend and maybe some video if I get it all tuned good.

nitrofan12

cool that would be sweet to see it.i bet it will scream looking at the engine and it's statistics

nitrofan12

man today i broke my right drive yoke.hit a bump wrong and there it went.....going to get better steel ones now.....just more time for upgrades

Justspin

Damn, that sucks. I got my revo close to being tuned. Had it pulling wheelies for a bit, but tune changed on me after it got warmer, trying to figure it out, these motors are alot different than traxxas.

nitrofan12

hahahaha i bet.was the new tune more touchy and scattered or was it one that when it get's set right it stay's there?.....oh and the drive yoke was not that big of a loss....it ruined the rest of my day for running the vehicle but w/e things break...you can't help it and when something does i make sure it won't again.

Justspin

Well factory settings are way off from where I'm at on tuning, but getting the high speed needle set properly requires the Low speed needle be pretty close, when you adjust one it really effects the other one. Plus I had to change to a different fuel. It doesn't like the traxxas fuel at all. I guess when your playing with an engine that makes so much power your level of error gets smaller, LoL. I'm gonna try again tomorrow as I think the neighbors were tired of hearing what sounded like a chainsaw running around the neighborhood. haha This thing is LOUD!!!!

DS

is this better then the firestorm or x-cellerator??? im looking to buy a stadium truck

nitrofan12

dude why do you keep on asking question's???????.the nitro sport is great so is the firestorm and the x-cell.they are all very similar to each other and the prices for each are only maybe 20-30$ different.JUST PICK ONE THAT YOU WANT!!!!!!!you will have fun with either one of them.



and to justspin:i bet that engine is very loud like you said and yes the more powerful it get's the less forgiving the engine will be.i hate trying to change my lsn so i do my best by not getting something that requires it unless i have too.

Justspin

Figured out why I was having problems with my revo. Seems the motor has an air leak in the front bearing. Waiting on bearings for the motor now and hopefully will get them by this weekend. [:-]

nitrofan12

man that sucks.i just got my hardened steel drive yokes and will get them installed tommorrow.

Justspin

My wheelie bar came today! I was installing it and then noticed my throttle servo was broken and held on by one screw!! Luckily I had a 2055 servo sitting around. Getting ready to check out the wheelie bar now.

nitrofan12

cool.who made the wheelie bar?

Justspin

Here's the link. [link=http://www.neweramodels.com/item.cgi?session_id=&part_id=1732]wheelie bar[/link]

I just tried it out and my car doesn't flip over backwards anymore lol.

nitrofan12

Justspin

No, Thats on my Nitro sport. Revo is torn apart waiting for bearing for the motor. LoL Revo will get one next though.

nitrofan12

hahahhahaahaha dddddddddddddduuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhh[&:][&:][&:][&:].well anyway glad i found someone who has one now.was thinking about getting one but was not fully sure.if you want more aftermarket parts check out[link]http://www.hobbyetc.com[/link].they are great and really FAST!!!! about your order's.plus they have a considerable amount of products and are a distributor of hot racing parts which in my opinion are some of the best aluminum parts out there.look cool and perform just as well[8D][8D]

Justspin

Hey, never heard of hobbyetc... I just checked them out. Nice site, Thanks for the info.

nitrofan12

your welcome.based out of nashua just like new era.i swear by them and when i need some good parts they are the ones i go to.plus they tell you about other products if they can work with your vehicle and it's a deffinite not like a little modding needed they are all direct drop-in's.

Justspin

Hey thanks, I should probably do that, lol

Justspin

Geez... It's been raining all day and supposed to rain all weekend here!!! I got my cars all ready to run and now I can't. I'm kinda pissed, lol. I had my revo out for a bit yesterday and started tuning it... Damn thing needs a wheelie bar too! Flips over backwards if you take off too hard. Oh well guess I should have seen that coming. Just thought I'd vent a bit, have a great weekend everyone!
