Default Sway bars for a Revo??

Has anyone ever seen/heard of anyone putting sway bars on a revo? I think this would be a really good idea as it would greatly reduce the amount of body roll and thus reduce the amount of rollover accidents. Please advise.

Ive been searching for those ever since i saw them on the muggy about a week ago.
If someone came out with sway bars for the revo i would buy them instantly.

The best you can do for now is put the hingpins in the lower spot.

Did you put all 4 in the lower slots? How did this help/hurt your handling?

A couple of guys at our local track run rear sway bars on their revos but I don't know where they got them or what they are actually for. I will be racing Saturday and will check and post back.

I put the rear ones in the bottom slot so it feals like the rear end is planted, don't put the hingpins in the fornt on the bottom because it will limit stearing.

It helps to put them in the lower position in the back, but forgot about putting them in the lower position in the front.

I'm sure you could make some. Just get sway bars from another truck(to use the mounting hardware from them.) and get some piano wire, and bend it into a sway bar of the right size. Then just drill some holes in the a-arms, and screw the mounts in. Or if you get the swaybars for the LST, I'm sure they would be large enough.
