new parts came in
I have my new gearing for the Picco now. 19tooth clutch bell and 36 tooth spur. I also have new aluminum front and rear bulkheads and the steering arm stop. It allows more travel instead of grinding the stock on away. I'll still have to make a couple of other mods to get the most out of it. I still am going to switch to a single Hitec 5955 steering servo too but not sure when. I'd like to install the new Picco along with all of these mentioned upgrades at the same time. Not anytime soon though as I'm still installing a new roof to a section of my house. Oh well, time to get back out there.

It's like I crave doing the next upgrade i can think of doing. I still have alot of factory parts that I wont replace until I break them though. I'll end up with RPM arms and so on as needed. Actually I did one time take a brand new Revo and took it apart totally and built it with all aluminum parts. About 1200.00 worth and it was the biggest waste of money that I ever spent. Now I've learned that you replace whats needed to make certain areas strong and do not just replace it all for looks when you bash like I like to do. On the other hand you have some wicked rides yourself if I'm not mistaking, I think I saw pics of yours. I really want a wicked custom painted body and I'll buy one sooner or later but those good ones are 80.00 and up.

RE: new parts came in
I hear ya on the upgrade thing scott; there are still a bunch of upgrades I want to do to my revo as well, and sadly for me, right now money just does not allow for it(well the money I do have anyway doesn't) and I will slowly upgrade as I get more $ for things and what not, but yea I also hear ya on how expensive the good bodies are and so on....seen that too....so it will be a little bit before i do any manor upgrades to my revo. Ive sone some stuff to it, but not a ton of stuff, not nearly what I want to do to it...
