My Feedback: (1)

IMO, I would just take the steering servo(2055) and put it on the brake/throttle.. Thats all you really need...Why so many engines LOL..

aznherb36

throw away the steel spur an get the slipper plates and spur gear http://www.*********.org/car_rrp_traxxas.htm

you can get the steel or plastic one.

I have this air filter http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...oducts_id/5763

Nitro Rustler Racer

a metal spur gear puts more stress on the internal gears in the tranny, because it wont strip, even if you do have the mesh right it still does that. plus a metal spur cause radio interference. idk if it will for you but it does for me somtimes. oh get some rpm bulkheads and shock towers

aznherb36

i personally dont like the rpm towers, they dont have alot of options on setting the shocks.

you ganna just bash?

Nebukatnizar

OO sorry, i only ment one engine.....so what kind of spur gear do you think i should get?...and othe rparts..maybe...an im kinda un clear on what kind of servo's......hmm......and thanks aznherb36 for the suggestin but does any body know of any other air filters???

i know theres more parts i need to make it fly and look beautiful, but what any other gearing stuff...hmm...

SharkDiver

I havent heard anything good about those exhaust pipes besides the look.I would do some more research on that part before you buy.And you may want to look into getting some RPM axle carriers since you are getting the arms.

Shark

Brokethebank

The RPM a-arm don't fit the 3.3 unless you mod them or use different drive lines and the body mount post will not mount to rpm shock tower. Besides IMO the new 3.3 shock towers are stronger

SharkDiver

They have RPM A-Arms for the 3.3.I have them on mine.They are very good and strong.

Nitro Rustler Racer

i'd say go with the plastic spur slipper kit as mentioned above, it's cheaper to replace a plastic spurgear then a metal one or less hassle then some internal gears

My Feedback: (1)

i am using 1/8 buggy shocks, one on each corner, and i love how my suspension works with them. that may be an option to look into.

mmduc

so the truck is $450,and the upgrades are $500.......... scrap it and buy a losi lst2....... and save 350

stikxs

Stock throttle servo is a 2055. They are 0/1 for me so far, 625mg on now and doing great.



OP: So you are gonna get a new 3.3, AND then change all those parts? How about you check ebay and buy a chassis and then put that stuff on it? Where's the logic in ripping apart a new(and rather stout apparently) truck?

Brokethebank

SharkDiver were did you get RPM arms made for the 3.3. I have been look for some and from what I have found they are not available yet. The arms made for the 2.5 will not work unless you mod them because the revo drive lines are too big to fit right and end up limiting the suspension travel.

Nebukatnizar

Another question...what do you all recomend for a tuned pipe?


i Wanna buy a new one, one that'll give me some more power, but nothing too expensive..?

f150man94

Read this link. You need the Monster GT pipe for that motor. It is the least expensive and it WILL give you the best results. 19.95 A my LHS. Read all of the first post. This is the BEST setup for the .26.

Ive got them [link=http://search.stores.ebay.com/RCBoyz_revo-rpm-a-arms_W0QQfcdZ2QQfciZ6QQfclZ3QQfromZR10QQfsnZRCBoyz QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ3QQftsZ2QQsaselZ16028217QQsbrsrtZdQ QsofpZ0]here[/link] .The 2.5 and the 3.3 revos use the same A-Arms.Ive got them on my truck now and they are nice.Most everything from the 2.5r and the 3.3 will be the same besides the chassy and a couple other parts.


Shark

Brokethebank

I have a set of RPM a-arms I bought for my 3.3 max and if you pick the truck up and let the suspension drop the drive lines rub on the bottom of the top arm. Then if I set the truck down and pull the wheel up the drive line rubs on the top of the bottom arm. the only way I have found to make them work correctly is to grind the same notch out of the RPM arms that the 3.3 one have. I honestly have no Idea how you can say something like this works great. Do me a favor and just move your suspension all the way up and down and look to see if the drive lines touch your arms.


I just when back and check the link you posted and it went to Revo a-arm. My reply here is about the T-MAXX. Maybe this is why we disagree
