I am getting a revo 3.3 soon, what fuel should i use/start off with?
I am running Sidewinder 20% Race in my Revo 3.3. I also have used O'Donnell and Byrons, but found Sidewinder works best for me.

hey guys, anybody tried changing the ROLL CENTER by putting the arm link in the lower hole?...if not try changing the stock set-up....[sm=thumbup.gif]this set-up is alot better than stock, you can push the truck in turns without much flipping..
doing this because i think ive heard of this before. are you talking about the lower hole that the upper arm mounts to the chassis?

yup! just refer to manual because it needs to change the hollow ball spacer to eliminate bump steer...

to drill out the exhaust you dont want to go in to far because you will drill into the baffle inside of the pipe. drill ONLY the stinger and ill post some pics on that later.
i didnt see this post until after i drilled out my stinger and then i realized that i did drill throught the end of the baffles, maybe a 1/4 of a inch off the end. i looked at it and it doesnt seem like a huge deal, am i wrong? what are the consequences? am i looking at having to get a new one?

yes. it looks like right where they end. i would assume it might not hurt performance but just make it louder. but i want to know if it would hurt performance

yes. it looks like right where they end. i would assume it might not hurt performance but just make it louder if not make it flow better since there isnt the extra 1/4 of an inch to flow past before exiting the stinger. but i want to know if it would hurt performance

I believe it will hurt performance because the sonic wave will not be reflected properly and therefore the gases will not be kept in/expelled from the engine appropriately.

At that point it probably wont make a big difference indeed because of the fact that got drilled....and honestly, Im not so sure that drilling out a pipe is the best idea anyway because in the end it MIGHT(not saying it will, but it might) decrease power instead of increase it; either that or it could possibly cause tuning issues if not drilled in the right spot and whatnot....

i was just curious, are the upgraded metal axles worth getting or a waist of money and time, or are they just kinda a bling factor?
