"Must Have" Revo Upgrades?
#1
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.

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

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.

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.

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.Confusedmash:
