lol!!!!!!!!!!!! i think he put boost bottles in the revo!!!!!

Not even nos. More like lighter fluid he wants to see this thing literally go as fast as a bomb [&:]

ya so we never raced he got on mine and said that we race a stright drag tomarrow and im not to sure if i will does the eight t have good power, i think it does, the magazine says it tops out at 47 so ya

Well dude you own the truck, how does it run? Do you have it tuned properly? Plus are you really even going to give him your truck if you lose? Your parents might get mad.

Ya and if you win do you really want to take his truck?? Just set your truck really lean. Not lean to the point where it dies on a speed run but lean to the point where you kill him.

so overall i have a faster car

yeah, you have better off the line, handling, braking, stability, etc... the only the revo might be better at is top speed, but it will not be by much if at all. the 3.3 is not a higher rev at all, I think the 427 revs higher on the dyno then the 3.3 did the 3.3's max rpm on the dyno is only 37,000rpm, most 21's are in the 38,000-44,000 range.

ok i have the sportwerks .26 v2 engine
is that beter than the 427

A bit. Be sure you are running the largest insert or no insert for the carb.

oh ok we are doing first to four wins the car, we are racing 300 ft.

The sportwerks is the same as the 427 but has a better carb so teh SW has a good edge ont eh stock 427. The SW is a screaming engine. You cant run no insert on the sportwerks. It wont run right. Use the 9.0mm insert. Make sure its break it in right and lean it out just for the race. Dont worry if your temps get up near 270-280 for the race. I think you will smoke him and the revo is also heavier too so you have that advantage too.

ok what do u guys think about the revo platnum

if it is 1000$, i would get a baja

ya definitly, but traxxas needs to build a big block

Websites have it for 600 right now...

i would still get a baja hehe...or maybe a jammin crt ...revos really nice (i have one)...but i think truggs are way to go now (i dont have one tho)

traxxas needs a big block

It appears to me that you own none of the aforementioned cars, and are just playing the "what if" game.

I agree, he's now talking muggy in another thread. Full of it I say

+1 to both.

Here's my take on it....

Rather than a foolish race for a car worth hundreds of dollars that will end your relationship and probably get the looser grounded, why don't you bet that the looser is the winners pit/wrench man for a month or two. Anything that needs fixing, cleaning or tweaking the looser needs to perform it on the winners vehicle. This way it's a win win situation... it's a fun race with a friendly and educational outcome. The winner gets bragging rights, while the looser gets the experience of working on someone else's vehicle and now has additional skills in their pocket...

Think about it... and let me know what you think... I do it with my kids all the time and yes... I've been their pit/wrench ***** a bunch of times... LOL...
