You'er better off posting that stuff here. Also, give a better description of your REVO.

im not selling mt revo or the lightnig. someone from my local track is selling the Hot Bodies Lightning roller but i don't know anything about it and was trying to figure out was it a good truck or not and worth the 60 bucks. i read a lot of post here about it and it seems like a good truck but most of the post are 3 and 4 years old.

I've got two of them and raced one, kept other for parts (BNIB). That's an ok price if =its not junk - this is a dated buggy. They were pretty decent when they 1st came out and all they needed to be competitive then was a better engine and cvds. Parts are still available, at least I've been able to find anything I've needed without scavenging off the new one.

Prob going to do a BL conversion on my runner when the engine starts going downhill. Doesn't get used much since the track closed and there's nothing worth going to thats close by.

I was in your same boat, I bought a cheap roller , and then started to pricing it together, engine pipe, etc, it ended up costing a lot more then I wanted to spend, I would find one with a least a motor. I found a great find the other day and bought it, other wise I would be tring 1/8 scale.
