general revo discussion

[Mr. Tune]

I haven't been on the new setup at all. How is it? Technical? Highspeed? Big jumps? etc?

[Tex]

high speed if you take the right line maybe, I'm still learning it so it's slow speed for me or wreck....lol....

There is a whoops and double/double section that takes some getting used to. Then there is a huge single/single that only Sonny and Drimel can clear (buggies only from what I saw)

[Michowski]

revo tq'ed. Still getting used to driving the truck being so long and wide now. Its no were near were im happy with it but its not doing to bad on the track.

[Tex]

congrats, I am 5 seconds behind your TQ now after the last qual. One slip up tomorrow and you're done....lol

Good work on getting the TQ sticker and trophy, that's awesome.8^D

[Obsessive R/C]

I clocked off a blistering 40 sec. lap...:p:

[Tex]

not too bad for being your first time on a track ever

[Michowski]

Tex man your truck is dialed. Gonna be a fun main tomorrow.

[Obsessive R/C]

I'm happy with it, a little more track time and I'll be fine...thanx for all the help Tex.

[Ponch]

I got a busted 3.3! Yep, I killed the block!

Was running freggin awesome, the quickest lap I heard called in the quals was a 30.7 which is awesome for my standards....

[joey]

time to send it in for a new one lol

[Ponch]

Eh time to call in with a sob story..so far I have;

My Grandmother gave this to me for my birthday and she died last month, it's all I have to remember her by....

It busted at a CHARITY race that is sponsored by traxxas

It broke before I could even get a main in, missing out on my first chance for a trophy....


Anything else y'all can think of? lol

[Michowski]

just get a new block, its only 25 bucks.

[kevinF]

yeah dont complain.........just buy a new block

[Ponch]

Problem is I borrowed $60 bux from my parents I have to pay back for this weekend, so I don't have $25.

[kevinF]

ok

[kevinF]

I just got a brand new revo 3.3 :joy: anyways I wanted to know what is a good diff oil combo and a shock oil combo for racing. also what springs are for what?

thanks, traxxas thrasher

[UE-Maxx]

Cool

Too many smileys in the last two posts.

[destroy_my_revo_15]

30k stock in front and 10k in the rear. for shocks 50wt all around seems to be a good setup. gold springs rear orange front. i also have the rear roll center in the lower and the front in the upper. move the caster clips to 1 infront of the a-arm and 3 in rear. i run all of my pushrods in the outer position. hope this helps

[redzebra24]

i have a revo 3.3 got it 2 weeks ago as my rc and i love it

[kevinF]

thanks john

[Michowski]

go to the traxxas site and check out steve slaydens pit pass. It will tell you how to setup your truck properly.

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

It would be very interesting to get 2 Revos setup with Slayden's setup...one 2.5R version and one extended 3.3 version, and do some race testing.

[Michowski]

they would be setup the same way. Wether you got the extended chassis or not you still would have identical setups on the same track.

[kevinF]

thanks michowski, i forgot about steve slaydens set-up guide.

[Tex]

Damn your signiture is obnoxious Kevin!!!
Congrats on the revo 3.3!

Mitch I think Dave was saying to set up a 2.5 revo and a 3.3 revo the same way and see which one your faster with.
