RPM ARMS???
Ok, heres my question do the rear RPM uper A arms give you more space between the engine. because i may need them when my new engine gets here, its really long and the stock arms dont give me enough space. so i hope these arms give me more clearnce. heres my engine.

RE: RPM ARMS???
Yes the RPM arms give you a smidgen more room, but my Axial .28 wont fit with a pull start, so i don't know if that one will. The new era mount might give you enough room for a pull start, but i don't have any experience with this.

RE: RPM ARMS???
its going on the revo 3.3 and i think im just going to get a bumpstart. and will a traxxas bb work with that engine its a ofna .26 force sg. if not that sucks because ive ordered both the engine and the bb, the bb is from traxxas not the engine.
O YEah les 222 is it a good engine dose it pop wheelies on demand.

Should do wheelies easy. I have the Traxxas BB kit on my revo, with a RB C5 in it, I had no problems with it hitting the arms. Mine has no pull start, if you take yours off it should easily fit.

RE: RPM ARMS???
You'll be lucky to see wheelies if that is the .26 version. That engine is very weak, and was replaced in all the Ofna kits by the .28 version, which is far more powerful

I also have that same engine in my Revo. It does wheelie on demand. Just pull the throttle to quick and on the roof you go.
Here is a link to the big block kit that i have. http://www.qoncepts.com/RCpages/TraxxasRevoRBBC.htm
You have to convert it to bump start though. Not enough room.

RE: RPM ARMS???
I consider bump start and starter box the same thing.. I know what your are talking..
A bump start is a little trick to use. Trying to start it without rubbing the chassis with the with the wheel. You could always by it and enclose it in a box. It is basily a starter without the box.
I have both. I lioke the starter box a lot better. It is easy put on press and start. Rdlogics. You can always use a cheaper starter box with a little mod.

RE: RPM ARMS???
The Rdlogics starter i have was $128.00 From my local hobby shop. It is made for the Revo. it lines up with motor mount and all you have to do is push down. There is a pin switch that hits that chassic and starts the wheel. Plus it has a built in fuse holder so you dont screw up the motor.
I have a 12volt hobbico battery instead of the two stick packs. It lasts a long time on the battery. There is two banna jacks on the outside that allow you to charge the battery or power something with 12volt. It costs some money, but it is flawless and the replace parts will be easy to get the hobby shop said.
You can also get one on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/RDLogics-RD-Logi...QQcmdZViewItem

RE: RPM ARMS???
You could always put the O.S 18 that is made ot be used with Revo with easy start. If you want.. I will take my OS 18 TZ pull start anyday over an Ofna.
The Ofna (startbox) that is in my other Revo's Is just barely broken in. It runs well.
I just started getting into using the starter box. I normaly have used pull-starts, which isn't a bad way to start an engine.
I think you will be sorry if you get the bump start, but heck for about $30.00 bucks from tower with battery you can try it for yourself. That's were the one i got came from.
The only thing i can say is do your homework fully then decide, but if all you have to spend righ now is about $30.00 then i would get the bump box. At least you can have some way to start your engine. I suggest you make a wood box and cut a whole for the wheel and psuh it through and mount it to make it easier than holding the revo above the wheel trying to line up while the wheel is moving.
