RE: NEW REVO OWNER
my advice... leave it as-is until you get used to it or break something. as far as power... if this is your first R/C.... you'll want to get used to the power before upgrading.

RE: NEW REVO OWNER
the Revo is very durable right out of the box. The stock radio worked fine for me. So far the revo is the toughest truck I have had, but I just picked up a LST so I will have more to compare it too. I think the revo makes a great basher IMO. You will love it.
As far as upgrading the engine, I did the OS18TM and it is not a big difference in power over the TRX2.5R. SO there will be no need to upgrade until you break the one you have. Just remember the stock engine likes to run hot.
Also the stock servos do a good job of turning so no need to upgrade those unless you are putting your revo on a diet and going down to one servo.
