How about an update. I drove the hell out of the revo this weekend to test it's durability. After a 1/2 gallon of fuel (all of it at the joliet car show, leisure hours mini race track booth setup), I had broken 2 pushrods, 1 spur, and 1 diff (rear I believe). With the exception of hitting a pole and bending a pushrod, all the breaking came from backflips attempts. Not all of them went as smoothly as planned. The engine is starting to hold a tune fairly well and is no longer overheating on me.
Based on firesprinks recommendation, the front and rear bumpers (on the body) have been cut for better air movement (the front bumber) and less fuel kick back from fuel spraying on the inside of the body (the rear bumper).
Based on snakebite's recommendation, I have now also cutt off the ends of the rear bumper to further help against fuel kick back. For the hell of it, I weighed the 2 side I cutt off and saved 10 grams of weight.
