Sweet truck, you'll love it. There are a bunch of mods you can do that dont cost anything. Check out Steve Slaydens page on Traxxas' site. Theres also another site that has a list of a ton of mods to. I'll go look for it.

I cant believe not one person has told him to do things like use the break in method, Use brand name fuel's like O'Donell, Byron's and Trinity fuels. Get extra glow plug's and a temp gauge since your new. Get good tools and get a tool box (aka fishing tackle box) and use after run oil after everytime you done running at the end of the day. This prevents rust from forming on the engine's internals and will prolong your engine's life. Use a fuel filter as this will keep dirt from entering your engine and destroying it. I would also suggest getting a fail safe some time in the near future as this will keep run aways from happening if your transmitter's battery's go low or if the truck looses it's signal and saves you money. Good luck and nice buy

good advice 125, and i would like to add aluminum rear shock ends because the pipe heats them then they stretch and break.

*brushes off shoulders*
forgot to mention one thing though.
take out that crap reverse gear and optidrive bull sh** because it WILL break on you. i guarantee one day your gonna have it in reverse but it will be going forward and your gonna absolutely tear that reverse gear to pieces. happened to me. go to your hobby shop and ask for the forward only conversion kit for the revo. helps out a lot
