RE: revo revo revo revo revo revo revo
what is the part that is prone to breaking. ( on a rustler it is the rear shock tower) ( on a losi xxx-nt it it the rear swing arm mount, blukhead maby?) so what is the part on the revo that always breaks, and what is the best solution.

I barely have 30 minutes runtime on my truck(not including break-in) so I have no idea what's gonna break. My LHS said they've sold 4 sets of arms in the last 3 months and they've sold over 300 Revos.

revo hardly ever breaks, but when it does, its those dang a-arms.
But yeah man enjoy, just converted my revo to callari .30.. the thing flatout RIPS.

RE: revo revo revo revo revo revo revo
I have put my Revo through hell , literally. So far the list of broken pieces........ Front axle carrier 3 times.... numerous shock rod ends ( switched to RD Racing Alum ones ) rear toe link ( switched to lundsford punisher ) ring gear in back diff, reverse gear in trans, I think thats about it. REVO WAS BORN TO BASH
I would say all in all the most likely thing to break on mine was shock rod ends. Never broke an A-arm, although there are spares in my toolbox.[>:][>:][>:][>:]

RE: revo revo revo revo revo revo revo
got it today, first thing I did was install my jr xr3i reciever and transmitter. now I got expodential rates . had some trobble with the throttle opening all the way, and still have enough stopping power on the other end for the brakes. All I can say is that all the pics of revos on the comp dont event compare to the real thing.

Ran my Revo today for almost 5 hours. I broke the rear tie rod twice and a front A-arm half-way broke. Still in tact. Oh and replaced a glow plug.
