Hey i am starting a thread on the revo platinum feel free to post pics vids and questions.

andy530

what weight diff oil do i need to pop wheelies

newgst

i think they have 500k weight that works good but realistically you should just take out the diff if you want to pop wheelies

andy530

ok what are some good upgrades. please post pics of any trucks you have

Clymer122693

Wow....we dont need a thread for this.

The platinum has pretty much every hop up needed. If you want to pop wheelies then take out the center diff and rear brake and put an FOC in. Cant imagine why you would want to buy a race truck and use it too pop wheelies...

andy530

sweet truck dkastil where did you get the controller and how much

Clymer122693 thanks for the setups what is the track like you run on

dkastil

I just finished painting the body and am still fealing the effects of the paint @^%%^%$#% .Andy the TX is a futaba 3pk with a fasst module and UPgrade graffics decals ,I got it on ebay for 150 and the module and recever for 160 and if you run a fasst system you have to get high end servos that will cost you ,but is is so worth it .







here is a better pic so you can se what tx it is

andy530

i have the jr z9100s servo for throttle and jr ds8711 for steering. I know the steering servo has 403 oz of torque at six volts. it is about 130.00 dollars i would imagine the throttle one is to. i just bought this revo platinum about two weeks ago it came with them two servos, the rd logics starter box, upgraded sevo saver, aluminum rear skid plate, rd logics steering nuckles (4) it did not have a contoller so i used a traxxas one i had. i might get a better one fo crhistmas. i bought this for 400 dollars

andy530

forgot to metion i had to get a new engine becouse a bearing went bad a messed it up. i was going to post pics but i cant find my camera

andy530

also good job painting the top

Clymer122693

The truck runs pretty well on any track type really, not too good on high grip surfaces like tarmac though.

I saw this and was wondering if anyone can tell me how the 603fs is wired in an ERevo? I'm changing over to the FASSt system, but not sure how to plug it in.

Thanks
