It started off as an ordinary, unsuspecting Revo...
The life of my Revo:
It all started with a normal Revo:
But this revo wasn't enough for the track. I had to be upgraded, modified, things added, weight removed, and more.
Soon it began to take the shape of a racer.
Shown:
But even then, it was only a wanna-be racer REVO.
This is how the Saga began for me, as this is how I received my first REVO.
I immediatly added a 1/8 buggy wing and mount, since it would increase downforce, make it look cooler, and serve as a wheelie bar. 23mm hexes were added for increased durability, and a wide range of wheels. I added more fuel tubing, and a fuel filter, put in a single, powerful servo. But after a trip to the track, changes had to be made.
This is what I had:
I soon realized in order to be a racer, I couldn't compete with this. It weighed too much, had an inefficient starting system, and was simply too heavy, and too weak of an engine. But how?
I realized what had to be done, and quickly ordered a big-block system, and installed it along with a huge Sportwerks 26 engine. This beast lit up the tires, like a flashlight lights up a dark room.
The beast had awaken from within:
Soon a trip to the track proved that yet more had to be done, and I ordered the Pythons 2DMaxLST had been holding for me. I quickly reinstalled the 23mm adapters that had been removed in order to run the beast. They were dirty, as expected, and after about an hour of scrubbing, I get the cleanness back!!
And this is how she sits:
Further hop-ups will include a bump-box, JD carbon pushrods, turnbuckles, and hingepins, and a LRP Spec 3 motor

Or how it really is, the Revo guy is winning, is heading by 67 laps, falls asleep, and finishes one lap to win.
