I know it's a little late, but I too own a Revo and I wanted to ask if you had a problem or should I say issue with the truck pushing in turns or is it just a basher? I have been dealing with this and one of the things that I found was to lower the front shock oil wt. Currently I'm running 50wt rear and 40wt front, and it has made quite a bit of difference. Just curious.

Add alittle more camber to your front wheels. Put about 2 degrees 3 at the most. If you haven't done this all ready, that is.

I agree with vega75, camber and front end set up can make a huge difference. You can also try different weight diff oils in the front and rear. By putting a lighter oil in the front can help eliminate under steer and a hevier in the rear will help u powerslide the back around better. It also depends what surface you are running on... Good Luck..

DEFINETLY get the rear swept back arms,and lighten it up with some titanium hardware like hinge pins and the pillow balls.
