Revo stripped diff, Bashing opinion
Well I got my stripped rear diff fixed in the Revo today, put 50k diff oil in rear 30 in front. Also shimmed the rear diff. It now works exceptionally well.
Took the revo out to the rock quarry today and beat the livin crap out of it with no problems whatsoever. My buddy with me had the .25 savage also with no damage. We were juming everything around, catching up to 15 ft. of air off of some crush run piles (stones). Many were landed but some crashed so hard I was convinved stuff was broke. To my delight not a thing wrong. The revo is an extremly durable truck !!! Considering I ran into a few rocks at full speed that knocked it so hard it was flipping above my head and smashed extremely hard a few times, with nothing wrong. Traxxas pulle dout all the stops in this baby. Plus it flat out walks all over the savage in speed, handling and jumping. The savage does climb steep high terrain much better than the revo unless the revo is haulin ace,
Going to post some vids tommorrow evening of the air and abuse that we put these trucks through at the quarry.
<--- tears of joy. Finnaly a truck that I can run for more than a day of abuse and not have to wrench on it

RE: Revo stripped diff, Bashing opinion
Glad to see you got yours up and runnin... I am sending my whole REVO to Traaxas. I blew out both Diffs. and they want to take a look at it. Hell, i havent jumped it or bash it yet at all. Just turned over in the street a few times and some back flips from to much throttle. Besides that it has been broke longer then it has been fixed. [
