RE: What are the most important things for the revo
i just got my revo today £450 for the revo and all nessisary bits, just have to wait now for it to stop raining so i can break the engine in.
as for replacement parts there are plenty on ebay or you coud go for alloy/titainium parts from rcworld up north.

pete

I would say good parts to have on hand would be set of control arms right front ,left front ,and a set of the rear, also some rod ends. I brock one front control arm and a rear rod arm doing some monster jumps. This truck rules.

RE: What are the most important things for the revo
The most important thing I can think of is to break it in EXACTLY how they say to in the manual, and to use an inline fuel filter before you ever run it. Clean out the fuel tank before the first run as per the instructions on the traxxas forum. Ive put my Revo 10 feet in the air at a skate park and landed on flat concrete and the only part that has broken on mine is a pushrod, and it was my fault that it broke because of a bad landing. I'll be getting lunsford pushrods sometime in the future so I wont have that problem ever again.

RE: What are the most important things for the revo
an aluminum clutch is a very good CHEAP upgrade for the revo, you would be surprised how much power is lost at the stock clutch. before i had to work a little to make her wheelie. not anymore, any full throttle takeoffs send the nose skyward....chris[:-]
