Pretty nice Revo. I was pretty big into RC cars in Jr. High before i could drive. I currently have a TC3 and a Stampede, TC3 has quite a bit of stuff on it, the Stampede is stock. I haven't gotten them out in years. I did have a Nitro Rush that was pretty tricked out, but i got rid of it. Fun hobby, but good lord its expensive. Much more payoff with full sized cars i figured out.

Kick *** man...
I recently got mine out of storage (been there for 3 years) and got it running again. I have the Revo when it 1st came out and ended up running the car under the Trans Am smack dab in to the K-member.
I had to put a new motor in it, put the RB323 in it wich is a .23... It hauls some ***.

When I was a little kid my grandpa had a 1969 chevy pick-up that color so that is why I picked red and white.

I got a bunch of stuff from them guys as well, the body will come clear and you will have to tape and paint the inside the color you want it, if that it is what the question is. lol

Oh what the hell...
This is an old pic. I've since upgraded to a few aluminum pieces, some smaller ProLine T-maxx wheels and a Ofna Force .25 in place of the janky .18. Actually pulled it out of the basement after a couple of years and fired it up recently. If I can get the trans sorted out she'll be back on the attack.

Over all the truck is pretty quick, I am pretty excited to take it out with the lower gear (all though I lost most of that with the bigger tire). I broke a motor mount and stripped the rims out in the first gallon of fuel I run through it, but I am pretty hard on ****. After spending another 250 on parts and 20 hours labor I think I am going to take a little better care of it now!!

Its actually pretty easy to paint because you are painting the inside it don't matter if you get any runs or other blemishes.

I was seriously considering the T-maxx 3.3 when I picked up my revo. Looks good!

Thanks! It's not nearly as pretty anymore, that was taken right after I got it back in '03. I went with it because it is a big bitch at 13 lbs! That Chevy body on yours is tight though! I have a spare unfinished body for mine but haven't had the time to paint it. Plus with the abuse it will get I don't want to put a ton of effort into it only to ruin it. Maybe I'll make it a "show" body lol! I do need to get some fresh pics though...
