Just finished charging the batt on my new truck, so I think I'll go outside and break the new engine in. Looks like it should handle great...

My Maxx has a little bro now....lol

It won't stay pretty for long.

Revo's are dominating the small block racing scene right now. It certainly has more race potential than the T-maxx....

On a side note, ya know that inboard shock design comes from full size F-1 racers?

never knew that dave...i guess they gotta have something somewhere.

payaso have you heard about the .21 big block conversion coming out for it?if it wasnt much money id go for it. yet the only thing that ever kept me from converting to old stampede to 2.5 was the money for the engine.

Yeah, it's a killer design, but like I said, it's bone stock, so the T just runs circles around it.. (as they both sit now)

If you drop a pound or 2, and add a part or 2, the Revo is hands down more superior in the race category provided a decent driver has control.

I have no problem running past the Revos at the local track in Tampa, but they are all new drivers from what I can tell, and I'm one of those "underdog" racers at that. I hate the "pros" that hang out at the track, and spout off gibberish about never winning without the absolute best parts. You need this, or you gotta get that if you want to win...

I don't buy into that garbage, and I like to win with a supposed inferior truck.

We'll see how it does once I cut some of the header off that biatch.

I'm not downing the Revo at all, but just was expecting more from all the reviews on it. It's great fun to drive as long as you don't drive the Maxx first.. I gots to get some footage of it, or both together..

Cabo, come down, and hold the camera for me....lol

Dude, those pros at your track are idiots.
