"Must Have" Revo Upgrades? - Traxxas_Junkee - 03-11-2006
I have a pretty stock Revo now, just all RPM arms, and a JR servo. What else should I get I already have my eye on a wing and a Trinity High-Flow Pipe. I mostly bash, but I plan on spendind more time at the track.
"Must Have" Revo Upgrades? - destroy_my_revo_15 - 03-12-2006
well i would suggest the mugen mbx-5 wing mount. i think they look like they take alot of abuse. the tekno one looks like it would break the body posts too easy to me. other things like a tonys screw kit. if you are planning on getting semi-serious about racing maybe think about a transponder. starterboxes are always nice to have. umm not sure what your running for gearing in the tranny may want to pick up a set of close and wide ratio gear sets. you could always get the 3.3 chassis and the center diff and rear brake but i dont think its that important at your level of racing....my best advice save your money and practice. i got alot better once i just got on the track and threw down some serious laps no goofing around...lol i kno its hard to do. thats pretty much it i think
"Must Have" Revo Upgrades? - Traxxas_Junkee - 03-12-2006
yeah, im not sure what the gearing is in the trans, I'll ask Obsessive.
"Must Have" Revo Upgrades? - Obsessive R/C - 03-12-2006
Standard ratio in the trans. (stock)
"Must Have" Revo Upgrades? - Traxxas_Junkee - 03-12-2006
OK, thanks obsessive, the radio is finally going out tomorrow.
"Must Have" Revo Upgrades? - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 03-12-2006
better tires.
steering travel modification (if not already done)
better FM synth radio
"Must Have" Revo Upgrades? - Traxxas_Junkee - 03-12-2006
Already have an XS3 FOC, and not sure about the steering.
"Must Have" Revo Upgrades? - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 03-12-2006
Did you buy it from Jerry? Prolly done.
Tires next...
How about P2 rockers and spring weight changes? Only like $30
Then shock oil weights, $7
Then diff oil weight. $10

trinity pipe blows (very loudly..lol) there are better choices IMO
"Must Have" Revo Upgrades? - Traxxas_Junkee - 03-14-2006
What would you reccomend Tex, I searched Tower, and the Trinity came up and a new THS one, I love the THS on my maxx.
"Must Have" Revo Upgrades? - Tex - 03-14-2006
THS is good. I just hate the loudness of the trinity pipe, I wish they would ban it from LHR personally. It rivals a truck running without any pipe at all.
I run a 1/8 scale side pipe.
"Must Have" Revo Upgrades? - Traxxas_Junkee - 03-14-2006
I can't find the THS now, I would like to find one that has a spring manifold, considering im on my third stock one now. It looks like the only spring one is the Trinity.
"Must Have" Revo Upgrades? - destroy_my_revo_15 - 03-14-2006
well the one that comes with the os 18 has a spring and the ths one does also...
"Must Have" Revo Upgrades? - Traxxas_Junkee - 03-14-2006
I cant find the THS now

Why not listen to John? The MBX wing mount is a great suggestion! It is super durable (I have yet to break mine) and many others used it with great success too. I does require a few holes to be drilled into the body post, but that's no big deal.

Kyle doesn't have talent for custom stuff:p:
It's easier for him to just do screw in stuff.

"Must Have" Revo Upgrades? - Racin' Ranger1 - 03-14-2006

"Must Have" Revo Upgrades? - Traxxas_Junkee - 03-14-2006

"Must Have" Revo Upgrades? - Racin' Ranger1 - 03-14-2006

"Must Have" Revo Upgrades? - Traxxas_Junkee - 03-14-2006
OK, back on topic. What other pipes would you reccomend besides the Trinity or the THS?
