I'm still adjusting the high speed needle, haven't touched the LSN yet. I think Jayanth will tune it this Saturday if we catch up at the track

What do you guys ve to say about the RPM bumper? Should I buy their mould or can I use the existing one ?

Bumper from RPM would be the best buy IMO, since it would even save your whole front in case of crash. And i guess it would even save your arms.
It gonna be expensive thoug ;)
I'll be back.

If i pick it up from US, its coming up to 1400 bucks including the mounts. Not so expensive if it is really so strong and can save the trucks front and arms on impact  :)

Its the last upgrade one cn think for, some rpm arms and bumper would be more than enough

So, finally the Revo gets to do what it likes best ! Racing and a little bashing !! Took it to the track, tuned it properly and then had a blast ! Tuning it ws actually simple, quite contrary to the views expressed by others on the forum. Just a 1/4th turn (i.e. 2 1/8th turns) did the trick and Revo come to life  :) Got that PERFECT idle ! It will never go off after the engine starts and gave me a 15-17 min runtime on the track!! Mighty impressed i must say. Many firsts to day: first wheelie  ;D first flip, first jump, first cartwheel and offcourse some casualties. Hit a nail at speed and ripped off a part of the front right tyre, exhaust coupler got punctured when it crashed tail first  :( minor body scratches, lost a body clip (doesn't really matter coz i found 2 good one's at the track. Lol) ALSO remembered to take a video and will be posting it shortly as i forgot to tske it from Jayanth's phone.

All in all, gotta say i'm very very impressed with my truck. Sturdy, fast and loads of fun  :)

Driving at the track is quite challenging, unlike driving on an empty ground or road. Makes you realize how much you suck as a driver, especially when you have a much better driver taking the same truck on the track and being able to drive straight. YES! that IS a challenge, atleast for me. Keeping the truck straight and preventing it from flipping over when it jumps. Got to work on it the next time i hit the track

This weekend i'm not too sure, may be i can try. Will you be coming ? No i didn't pick up a replacement tyre yet. Its just a small hole so i'll run it till it rips apart and then replace it. Exhaust coupler too i'm thinkin the same :) used duct tape as of now and the engine is running fine

Tassem

Oh ok.. When you said ripped I thought it was torn away from the wheel lol.. PM me you number. I'll give you a call on fri and we can decide whether to hit the track. I dont have any plans as of now. But my plans are usually made for me by others :p

May be your IT dept has blocked youtube access ??
Traxxas Revo 3.3

Tassem

Nah, I'm on a second proxy that allows me access to our MOSS links. If I disable that I can watch the videos but my reports stop working.

I'm too lazy to configure two browsers :D

Nitro does sound good :) I dont think that video need any editing. Maybe you can try early morning. You should have the whole ground to yourself.

Yeah a sound track is definately not necessary.

shashank

I needed to edit out whatever we had spoken and also some way to fix the accelerometer problems coz we took it on a phone :) Completely agree that nitro's have their own sound tracks. My very own cheap V8 :)

These may seem like a small useless jump but it means a lot to the driver - specially a newbie like me. :D

All the cars look so small in videos and pics! They are massive in reality. That bottle you ran over put things in perspective :D
