Looking to do some upgrades to my e revo
#1
I am wanting to do some upgrades to my e revo (10 scale). I already have a brushless system (2650kv mamba monster motor with mamba monster 2 esc). I just broke the front arm but it is still usable which is good so I can use it until I get a replacement. How are the rpm arms? I have heard mixed reviews on them so I am very unsure :/. What are some other upgrades that are recommended? I have been reading about people getting the sway bar upgrade. What does that really do? Is it worth it? If there is anything else I should get please do not hesitate to let me know!!! Thank you

I love RPM on TRX applications. Anytime something on my Emaxx breaks it is replaced with an RPM part. RPM is Nylon, stock is plastic. Nylon has give, plastic for the most part doesn't. So RPM parts can take more abuse. They will still break, but in my experience last much longer when using vehicle as a basher.
As far as the sway goes, this will help your cornering. Ever turn really hard and notice one of your tire lift off the ground? Sway bar will prevent this.

Yup, body roll throws off wheel geometry, caster and camber. Take the frame and dip it to the side slightly and watch the wheels and tires, notice how they tilt? You don't want that. Lessens the traction in a hard corner. The flatter the car corners, the more traction you'll have and the more predictable the car will be.

Sell it and buy a Truggy
Upgrades to a revo.... Hmmm....
It should be called (shit the "truck" should have come with stock)
Sorry man, no upgradable advice from me. I'd say take that "upgrade" money and go buy some lottery tickets with it, at least you have a chance
Placing it in the garbage can would be an upgrade but it would also be a downgrade to the garbage can..

Don't mind got_nitro , he is just a hater and seems to automatically bash products he doesn't own ..... The EREVO is far from perfect but isn't the POS he makes it out to be ....
As for hop ups I would get the Lunsford titanium toe links and pushrods , RPM a arms , 17mm hexes and the M2C racing rear hinge pin brace . Everything else isn't really needed IMO .
