i thought the bocas were $1 too?
general revo discussion - Michowski - 02-02-2006
they were 3-4 dollars last time I checked. I would definatly get avid revolution bearings. Ive heard tons of great things about those.
general revo discussion - destroy_my_revo_15 - 02-02-2006
ok thats cool. thanks
general revo discussion - FreeRideFrosty - 02-02-2006
Bocas are a dollar. Ipicked up 2 for my clutch there the other day. Seem to work fine. They feel a little weird at first but then are fine...
general revo discussion - Tex - 02-03-2006
they feel tighter at first because they have grease in them. After one tank they loosen right up. Yep the "generic" bocas are $1 at the LHS, you have to order the avids.
general revo discussion - thenewguy821 - 02-03-2006
How well are the boca's sealed? One tip I've heard, is with "Grease packed" bearings on a clutchbell, After a tank or two, to pull the clutch, and wipe down the bearings. Once the grease heats up and thins out, a little can slip past the shields and get in the clutch area. Some people will even remove the shields, spray out the grease, and use a few drops of high quality bearing lube.

I just run them and have success everytime. My clutch bearings seem to last forever (I hope I didn't just jinx myself)

No, that's my curse when we go to StL... Evertime I said "I've never had a problem with...." It would break the next time I ran it.
general revo discussion - Michowski - 02-03-2006
same with me tex. Only thing i do is after the first tank on new clutch bearings i take and sand the top of the clutch shoes and clutchbell just to make sure there is no oil on the clutch. I do that about every quart of fuel.
general revo discussion - Tex - 02-03-2006
I just leave everything intact and keep running. If the clutch felt like it wasn't grabbing or whatnot then I'll remove it and do as you described. I guess it couldn't hurt to be on top of it though, better safe then sorry.

i got the revo running and im going to try to make it out to race on sunday with my new Spektrum DX3. its like the greatest thing ever invented
general revo discussion - Michowski - 02-04-2006
no it isnt, m11 with spektrum is the greatest invented followed by m8 which what i got. Once you get a high end radio like one of those 2 i garuntee you will never go back. Just ask newguy on this one. He just found out how much of a difference there is.
general revo discussion - FreeRideFrosty - 02-04-2006
Ryan I think he was just talkng about the spektrum. If that is what you want to spend on a new radio it isn't a bad deal. Granted you can find an M8 used in that price range but this is what he wanted....
general revo discussion - Mr. Tune - 02-04-2006
Yeah, I think he was talking about spektrum in general myself. It's the greatest thing to happend to rc racing since sliced bread.
general revo discussion - Obsessive R/C - 02-04-2006
Very true on both the Spektrunm and the M8...once you've used either one you'll never want to go back.
general revo discussion - destroy_my_revo_15 - 02-04-2006
yea i did mean spektrum in general. i was looking for an m8/spektrum but i couldnt find one even close to what i had to spend....

why are revos SOOOOOOO loud?
there are some that make this whiney ass loud noise. its sickning and deafning too. is it a stock pipe or somthing?
general revo discussion - destroy_my_revo_15 - 02-04-2006
nope its the trinity pipe....sorry im one of the people who run it.
general revo discussion - kevinF - 02-04-2006
I hate that pipe it sounds like aloud baby crying
general revo discussion - Ponch - 02-04-2006
Haha get used to it I run one too.
general revo discussion - Michowski - 02-04-2006
its the optional trinity pipe. IMO its to loud and isnt needed. I dont like anything about the exhaust.
general revo discussion - cemeb4dk - 02-04-2006
so when is Rocco getting his REVO?????
general revo discussion - Tex - 02-04-2006
Slim,
My slipper was slipping so you may have heard that making a high pitch sound?? It would crank to full rpm pretty fast after gunnin' it...
general revo discussion - FreeRideFrosty - 02-04-2006
I am also not a fan of the trinity pipe. When my motor was tuned right with the Vantage pipe it would hang right with them and be nowhere near as loud. I'm in a whole different world now though with the buggy pipe. Hehehehe....
general revo discussion - slim - 02-04-2006
def not you gabe. yours is silent compaired to thiers.
they should ban that pipe.... it sucks. its right next to runnin a open header.
