For revo brakes, instead of the spring on the linkage, use a fuel tube of the same length. I used it and the brakes were better. Else change to a better servo. The vented discs should be your last option.

guys im new to RC , but did some research and found that revo 3.3 will suit to my needs... been searching all the web to get the best deal...can someone help me out with the place to get the best deal...i have friends in singapore,australia,UK. which place to get the best deal or shall i get it from traxxas india?

please help me out soon so i can get my hands on this beast... thanks in advance...

Try the UK. I had no luck finding a Traxxas dealer in Singapore.

Close your eyes and go for  Traxxas India. UK prices are very expensive. Even if you buy in UK the prices are more than Indian prices.
Revo 3.3 price in UK is 500 pounds (street price)
500 British pounds = 43 181.2116 Indian rupees
Indian price for revo is around 36-38k (not sure)
As iamahuman said, Traxxas is not so popular in Singapore so Traxxas India can provide you the best deal.

ok guys just as you said i would go with the traxxas india, called them up just now... the price they quote is 40k, shall i go with it ...
as per the online its 39k which is excluding taxes and shipping....


or shall i give a try in UK and singapore... and missed out dubai as well...

and wait for a while?

Go for Trx IN

I don't know what the Revo 3.3 would cost (E-revo was around 45K in India 2months back). But Dubai is the place where Traxxas India get's it supply (if you buy from genuine traxxas dealer in India). So if you have friends in Dubai that would be the best deal.

hi guys,

im still in confusion, found out this site

http://www.worldhobby.net/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=29901

seems a very good deal, they claim the will dispatch that as a gift and would also mark $100 as the price for easy custom clearence, i live in chennai, i would like to know your views on going for this item if i do i will save up to 8000rs.... for which i can order some parts for revo, also what all extra parts which i would require like i came to know glow plugs, plesae list them as well...

and shall i order those parts along with the car or separately to avoid any custom issues

thanks in advance for your vaulable replies... cheers

It's wrong and illegal and fraught with hassles.


In short, don't do it.

+1 to what iamahuman said.

Its a risky affair to deal with customs, even after the seller undervalues your shipment. If you have a lot of contacts then, MAY be its worth it, else you can give this deal a skip.

If you HAVE to buy abroad, ask one of your friends to carry the truck for you.

Kindly note: Your information regarding our supplies is incorrect. Please do not mislead people online as to our supplies coming from Dubai. We have no relation from Dubai and are directly dealt with the United States Head Office. Thank you.

Nothing much to update really. My truck hasn't run in 5 months now. Will plan a session this Sunday, may be the last time it'll visit Pitstop.

While Nitro's are great, it pains to see my truck gather dust as i can't use it near my house. Unlike with electrics, where you can easily run near your house

During my weaker times, i feel i should sell it and get rid of it, a quick look at the videos shot at the track immediately makes me wiser

To the pro's here,how much area would a track like this need ?

I'm no pro but I think we should ask the guy who made the video.

I have a reasonably big backyard, measure 25'x20' of free area where we currently have a few plants, it'll have to make way for a track soon i guess.

It looks pretty small, but still fun. I'm guessing it should be possible to have one in my backyard.

If you do, I'd love to join to race you. If you need anything I can help with, let me know.

BLR guys get together and make a track or connect with Bharath who is planning something.

I'll give him a call today and ask him how things are going.

On his FB he says no track as the owner was demanding some money. Btw, is Pitstop still there or is it closed ?

right now bangalore has no track .. serves us right .. half the time no one will be there and other half the time all bullshit .. 10% of the time people will do something constructive and race .. may god give us a track once we realize the value . sad but true .. all heros only  .

True that. We killed it. In the few times i'e been there i found it reasonably organized. You guys used to frequent the track more, you'd know better.

Hey i feel a backyard track of the above size will be better when designed for 1/18th or 1/16th scale RC's.

You're right, but that did look like fun didn't it ? Anyway, just checked the soil, its completely wet and feet sinks thanks to yesterdays downpour. Will have to wait for the rains to subside before i can start work and the track will be unusable when it rains

it did however a smaller car will be fun too, in my opinion Are you planning a track layout for your nitro? Will the engine noise (music) be an issue to your neighbours?

No the annoying neighbour is 2 houses away, however folks aren't very fond of the music either so will have to use it sparingly say once a week or so
