BACK IN OFFROADING
Hey guys. Great news. So my friend goes lets get a revo made for you over this winter. I said kewl lets do it. We started a post looking for revo parts. Whats this i found taking trades??? Tranny, chassis, almost RTR. Then i emailed him and bam i have a revo!!! All i need is the engine. We settletd the deal allready! I cant wait. With the money im making for snow plowing this year should hit the $1000 range. Then i get like $500 cause a buddy and i do it. So with $500 im gonna drop in a Nova 528 and have it modded if i make that much money!!! And i still have my onroad!!!

RE: BACK IN OFFROADING
does that mean we have to put up with you some more....
just kidding man, good to hear ur back into it... but 500 isnt really that much, thats only an engine, and some fuel to run through it... and with that engine, you might need to fix more things than you think.... especialy being a used set up

Dude you change your mind more then you change your underware. But I do agree that, that engine is a little expensive and you cant forget about updating your drivetrain when going with that much power. Your going to need to basically bullet proof your drivetrain with that engine. but if you do get that engine it will haul pretty good though.

RE: BACK IN OFFROADING
HAha thanks guys. I actually didnt even plan on starting to build this thing untill late december. Then all of a sudden a pefect deal came bye and well i had to. Ill have like $700 cause in spring ill trade off my RS4. During winter i will buy the onroads becuase of how the track is open during winter, its indoor. And with that Nova, guys i no what the power does to drive shafts/tranny. i no all those worries. but y the hell would i be in here with you guys if i didnt no how much it would cost. About 4 months to come up with all the money i need!!! Plus christmas will get me some cash. Thanks Again. And go big or go home on that engine thing!

Good thing someone else is building it, someone that knows what they're doing...

u might think big now but wait till it comes down to it... you will be running the stock engine and you wont know where ur money went...
