Default My 3.3 revo

Well, i started out looking for a nitro truck, so after researching and talking with MiRatlhed , i purchased ashort WB revo 3.3 from him. I have done some mods, adding a swaybar system, a wing mount with wing and a new lid.
reworked the shocks and added two more sets of tires and wheels for different apps.
I have now added yet another revo 3.3 to the stable.
its pure stock right now I cant wait to start modding this one
we have bad weather tonight but after i clean it and have good sunny weather i will get pics up of them both
got it just in time for the fall points series w/ no limit R/C of florida
and will be racing both in the small block class

took the stock revo out for a run today...
its time to MOD the thing....
drives total different then the one w/ my race set-up
I have started the MOD list,
I just dont know what to do first.
my first two choice's (mainly due to money)
1)remove the EZ start and put on roto-start back plate and drive wand
or
2)Sway-bar's?
Either one gonna cost me about $25

Sway Bars get my vote.

I have a new Tiger Drive for a Traxxas engine I paid $20 for it so I will do that price shipped. The package is opened because I thought the old guy at the LHS sold me the one for a Ofna Hyper like I wanted but he sold me the wrong one. I don't have any Traxxas engines anymore so i don't need it.

If it has a part number on it send that as well, I got the one for the Ofna but I have a couple more engines here I might be able to use it on. I have a OS .18 and a OS .30 so maybe...

Here's a pic of my first revo. its ready for the fall points series coming up.
thanks to the help of 93-306 and MiRatlhed

hopefully i can drive the truck better than the last race. now that i feel i got the shocks and swaybars dialed in, it should be a rocket

now that i am racing nitro's i figured it was time for a new team logo for my nitro's,
these were made for me by MiRatlhed son.
i really like the artwork and name he put together
cant wait to get it cut in vinyl and screen printed on some shirts

That is cool you like it, we sit together and brain storm over ideas. I told him to add a text box with "Racing" or "Race Team" underneath that one and he came up with mounting them on a sign post.

You can still have some changes made Jeff if you like, just whip him up a email. He is all back into creating things again now that his online school is over for the summer. Regular school starts back up here on Sept. 8th. So I am gong to be learning how to do this also so we both can work on ideas together.

I am glad you like!! He really enjoyed doing it for you and liked the reasoning behind the logo idea.

I could not choose just one , so i had my family look at them and the really liked this one, I would not change the design at all, only change might be color's, my best friend finally got his new PC done and loaded all his vinyl graphic's programs , So now i can take the body over and check out colors on the white body. Then i'll get my screens for the screen printing machine
and make some shirts
