Ordered my new engine...
 

So, I ordered my RB Concepts TM323 today, along with some other parts (FOC, and a new engine mount... mine is cracked) Only downside is they are backordered, so I am hoping I can get it soon! It says on their website that they should be in-stock on the 15th, but I talked to someone there and he said he didn't know when he would have it. :( Well, at least my name is on the list!:D

well, you know a review is expected, all the way from installation to break-in and of course after. :D

RE: Ordered my new engine...
 

How much is the engine?

RE: Ordered my new engine...
 

hey revo family **NUDGE NUDGE** why dont u send me that extra trx 2.5r ;) lol i was thinking of dropping one of those into my maxx and keeping it

RE: Ordered my new engine...
 

the RB was 238 shipped. :) I have to wait 'til I get the RB in my truck before I do ANYTHING with the old engine. :) It's a strong engine, which is why I would keep it... but I've been thinking of selling it. :) And, don't worry, I'll be sure I post about it. I'll even take pictures of the box it comes in... :D

By then, I should have my TV tuner and will be able to show vids too. :)

RE: Ordered my new engine...
 

sweet man, let me know when u get that engine, id like to buy it :) im probably gonna keep it and drop it in a new truck or something, maybe i could find a revo roller or something

RE: Ordered my new engine...
 

Cool, it's just a waiting game, now! :)

RE: Ordered my new engine...
 

lol me too, waiting for my BB conversion, maybe ill have to come down to the desert and own a little revo ;) naw im not sure which would win? im not a very good driver.. lol

RE: Ordered my new engine...
 

You would think the .28 would, but with that .28, you add weight, too. :) ALSO with that .28 you might be a bit uncontrolable. :) Either way, come on down! I'd love to have someone else to race besides my friend ... another stock Revo... :)

RE: Ordered my new engine...
 

lol. i cant wait for my BB conversion the .28 is gonna be hella hard to control at first, but i will get the hang of it.. i think im gonna need some better tires.. what would you suggest revofamily?

RE: Ordered my new engine...
 

I actually am still using the stock Talons... :) I really like the Moabs.. I think Proline makes 'em... I would love Velocity 6 40 series with Moabs... 'cause they look cool... but since I bash my truck so bad, I'm thinking of just ordering some stock rims/tires online. :) My rims/tires on my truck are so beaten, not sure I want to rip up a nicer set... ya know?

RE: Ordered my new engine...
 

yeah true, the stock talons are already pretty thrashed, only had the thing for 3 days! i guess i should take it a little easier on the revo! :D somebody suggested taking the foam out.. but yeah that would just increase wear right? lol i cant wait to bash tomorrow [>:][>:][>:]

RE: Ordered my new engine...
 

Yeah, I think I'm just going to rip these tires apart, then get some off of ebay... I can pick some up for like $40... if I had my Revo for Show, I would probably put the other rims/tires on it, but... I see no sense in it... which is why I keep the stock, screwed-up body... I'll replace it when it's so bad it doesn't go on anymore. :D Then, I'll probably get a nice body... since it's the same price as the Prographics body. :)

RE: Ordered my new engine...
 

yeah. why are rollcages so dang expensive? im considering just making my own and making mounts for the bumpers so theres no chance of bending the chassis.. think it sounds ok? or will that kill the bumpers?

RE: Ordered my new engine...
 

Aluminum isn't very cheap, plus they like to turn a profit (basics of business...) I don't know much about rollcages... don't have one... don't have a need for one ... (if I break something, I'll just replace it...)

RE: Ordered my new engine...
 

yea true. i guess ill be ok :)

RE: Ordered my new engine...
 

my friend got one for his Mammoth, but that one NEEDED it... it broke shock towers like crazy.

RE: Ordered my new engine...
 

I decided to not spend the money on replacing the stock body I trashed and I'm gonna roll with a roll cage. gonna make it myself. 3/8 tube steel.

tires? DIRT BONEZ! or whatever the hell those cool tires I saw at the LHS were called............................................ ....

RE: Ordered my new engine...
 

I'm not one for the bowties... (or any of the sort) I guess they're good, they just make the Monster Trucks look too much like buggies.

RE: Ordered my new engine...
 

I'll get a pic of them. They are NOTHING like bowties. I too hate that look lol.

RE: Ordered my new engine...
 

I don't like the moabs because I think the other designz would actually have a better chance of "grabbing" more dirt. The moabs look cool but I think the others would function better.

RE: Ordered my new engine...
 

I'm not talking function, here! :) I would only buy those if I was into light bashing, and showing... for now, the stock Gemini's and Talons work for me. :)
