After my girl got my traxxas tmaxx, it wasnt what we thought it was as it was a little trashed, so we sold it on ebay and got a brand new Revo 3.3... after a week of waiting and another week of my daughter being sick i got some time to try and tune the carb... while waiting on the news of my daughters surgery my dad suggested for me to do something to help get my mind off of things, so i broke in the engine but it was never tuned... i got it almost perfect today just a little bit of "fluttering" when letting off the throttle.. well here are the pics

And they say it has the most suspension travel of and rc monster truck at 90mm with the stock parts and they send a set of long travel rockers that give 120mm of travel, but it flips easier and wheels all the time that way

sick. I got the 2.5R and i was gonna buy the 3.3 motor and swap it but I'm probably gonna sell it. It takes off on its own for some reason so i'll sell it once I fix that. I don't use it enough.

Its 400 brand new off a site on ebay... around 475-550 from a local hobby store.... i cant tell you how much just toying around with one can relieve stress.. the first time i lost a job back in 02 i got one from a roomate and just got into it and loved it.. i raced and did ok making some money from the races to pay some bills, the people from the rc hobby are some awesome people. this is just for fun as racing id start spending more money than i have lol.... ready to run kits come with just about everything you need to run, all i needed was batteries and fuel... electric is even cheaper. this is my first nitro and im not sure which i like better.... you can find deals on ebay for way cheap too

Yeah I'm super into R/c cars. You name it I've probably had it. Been Working on converting the Traxxas Slayer to electric lately. But, I'm hopelessly addicted to crawlers.

Nice revo... I have a stampede with a brushless motor set up... It's not the fastest one out there but it's fun... I haven't run it in a while, I need to get it out soon...

The Traxxas Summit is even more badass with the Mamba Max Brushless Setup.
Ive already seen some crazy scale setups to the Summit. That truck is sick nasty!!

Yeah summit is hardly a rock crawler though when you compare it to competition based rock crawlers. Solid axles are the only way to go for real mans rock crawling.

BTW get New Era aluminum shock rod, tie rod, and push rod ends. I broke the plastic ones like crazy.

Shock Rod Ends: (they have anodized blue too)

I also think they work for the pushrod's and steering links but you might wanna check
