Yep, both guys are right. The Revo is an awesome monster truck. Not at truggy. Even with the center diff in the revo it becomes just a crappy truggy but a killer monster truck. It is a MT, it was designed that way.
If you have something along the lines of what the locals are running it will be much easier. More fun too. Others can help a lot easier instead of guessing at what might help you when they don't understand what vehicle you have. Lots of people like to be different, I have a friend that is stubborn like this, and it makes it somewhat frustrating to not get help from friends.
