revos

Yeah man alot of people still bash them. Most tracks don't have enough turnout for a MT class, so you don't see many revos at the track anymore.

Yea that pretty much sums it up and its the way racing has always been. Anyone remember when Tamiya F1 cars were the hot new thing? Then 1/8 scale gassers? Then touring cars? Then the Tmaxx based MT class which eventually became dominated by Revos? Today its the shortcourse craze. If only I could predict what will be the hot new thing tomorrow I'd be a zillionaire...LOL

I bought my Revo new about 2 months ago so I am new to Revo Land. But I have to say I love it. It's probably my favorite nitro RC ever! You can bash it, but it still handles well for a monster truck. And there is so much suspension travel that it soaks up everything. I don't know how anybody could dislike Revos.

I don't know if the 3.3 has changed, but I never had any problems with it on my Jato. Traxxas gets a bad rep for no reason IMO.

The 3.3 is a fine "RTR" engine if you know what to do with it. Understand that it will have air leaks, is very tight and must be around 200 degrees as much as possible during break-in, and will need new bearings sometime after that. I wouldn't let the 3.3 sway my decision on getting a revo, they can fetch as much as 140-150 bucks on ebay (nib), which is close to the price of a good replacement.
