Revo Hop-ups
I was looking to buy some aftermarket goodies for my Revo (eventhough it doesnt need them) and wondered what anyone has done to theirs so far. I was going to get the P2 rockers today but found out that they require different pushrods that no one I've found has in stock.

RE: Revo Hop-ups
I can't feel a whole lot of progressiveness with the P1 rockers. Do the P2's have noticeable progressiveness compared to the P1's?

RE: Revo Hop-ups
They are supposed to have lower progressive rate i think, but I have no idea if it has noticable progressiveness. I do know the body doesnt roll as much and it handles a good bit better.

RE: Revo Hop-ups
Are there any hopups even out for the Revo yet? I mean I know there's basic stuff from Traxxas but I havent seen any aluminum or performance add-ons (that's available yet)

RE: Revo Hop-ups
New era has tons of aluminum hop ups available right now. Im waiting for the red push rods, and some response tires.

Aluminum PUSH RODS!![X(]
I guess if you're a good/hardcore racer, but even then, jeez, I think this is one of the most vulnerable suspension parts on any truck I've seen. Aluminum's OK for lotsa stuff, but I'd think you'd want Ti or CF...or even stockers, over aluminum
Doesn't Lunsford have Ti Revo stuff out already? You might wanna start bugging (e-mailing) Aerosticks & find out when the CF ones they've promised will be available. And I'll bet Holmwrecker and/or others are coming out with CF rods soon.
The shock struts SCREAMS to be upgraded, but I'd think aluminum would be the last choice.
And RED thermal?? I've never thought of you as a shelf-queen kinda guy
The anodization is gonna wear away quickly from normal use, and I think colors look al lot worse beat up than a natural finish does.
At least tell me they're 7075!
