Final top speed is 89.5 kph.
Might go faster yet, but I run out of transmitter range if I hold onto the throttle any longer.
To get any more huge gains, I'd have to run a 3 cell Lipo which would probably fry my ESC.
Curious what I'd get with a more aerodynamic body. Buggy maybe?

Well you got me to thinking about this speed thing, I'm working on something that should be fast and yes it will be 3 cell and no it won't fry my esc. More to come later.

That wouldnt be a bad truggy and it would be cheaper to buy but i see a few things i would have to deal with for one thing there is a few too many E-clips for my liking on there. You have to like the roll bar it comes with.. that thing should be able to at LEAST support the battery box! Wheres the rock guards?? I do like the machined parts like the knuckles and the rear carriers. I think that a OS 30 VG EB Modded would work excellent in there.

Oh my God, please don't do it Jay!!!!!
Don't buy and race another Revo.
That would mean I'd have to buy another Savage.
Been down that road, don't want to go there again. At least not until I get my Summit, B44, Baja 5B, LST2, etc., etc.,

By the way. I'll drag race any Revo anytime with my T4.

If you put something together let me know. I found a perfect spot to run them flat out.
Ordered a 31 and a OMG that pinion gear is almost as big as my spur 36 today. Hope it will at least turn the wheels.
Might run my XT8 for top speed just for comparison. Guessing it will top out around 60 kph. Probably slower.

Is there any update as to an earlier venue for indoor racing? I am very anxious to start the carpet season.

Unfortuantely Ryan we are unable to find a venue large enough to support our track within reasonable cost. Its still stuck on January we will just have to stretch our winter season longer to make up for the lack of races.


Although after lunch today i went car shopping and believe you me it makes deciding a whole bunch better in person when looking!!
