Default Quick Revo question

I notice the stock revo sits kinda low. What do you have to do to raise it up a bit? Stiff spring or change the rockers out? Also does the new revo 3.3 come a battery pack for the reciever or does use the AA pack thingy

Thanks

Your gonna want stiffer springs regardless of the ride hight. You can move the pushrods to the inner hole and also tighten the shock collars. I wouldn't make the truck sit too high though because then you'll have problems with rolling over.

your arms should be parrellel to the ground(not any higher or handleing will suffer) . Youl need stiffer springs and thicker shock oil b/c stock is was to soft and doesnt have enough dampening. I use tan for the rear spring and gold for the front springs with 50wt oil rear and 60wt front(stock pistons in the shock). It helps alot!

Well, the best way I know of offhand is to put the stiffest springs traxxas has on the truck, which is what I did to mine, and it does make it a bit stiffer. As for the receiver pack or aa batteries; I think the newer version of the revo comes with the regular stock aa battery holder, however; u can take that out and put a receiver pack in in its place....
