I have had this revo 2.5 sitting in my garage for over 5 years collecting dust figure might as well fix it up and make it look good again and runnable. Thinking rpm arms or revo setback arms a 3.3 chassis a body forward only . 20220919_002040.jpg20220919_002031.jpg

I started in the old Tamiya days but when i got my first nitro that was when my obsession with the hobby started. I been on some of these nitro facebook groups lately and seeing some of the old nitro Mt have been really cool. Since I once owned a few of them but sold to get into 1/5.

I know, I made a mistake and joined a nitro Facebook group guys had some cars that I hadn't seen in years. People were restoring them back to factory spec then I started seeing a lot of the old school nitro monster trucks that I use to own and love that funded my way into 1/5 scale. Would like to get them all back but don't want to over do it lol.
 
I feel ya! I love my RC monsters and miss my original Emaxx, Revo 3.3 and race Clod. Shoot thinking of parting ways with one of my Erevo 2.0s I built into a killer monster truck, to fund a RC plane purchase. Has 4 runs on it and never even seen the dirt. Feel like I'll regret it if I sell it...like I have other RCs. Lol 🤦‍♂️

Always better to keep and find other ways of making up the cash. I usually sell old parts first and things I don't need around the house.

Slayer radio box and servo box installed and cv boots. Need to make a order for a few small things and figure out what body I want and wheels. Working on the savage was way more fun. Working on the revo reminded me why I'm not a fan of traxxas.View attachment 83941View attachment 83942

Well ordered the brake disk that I was missing and 17mm adapters since the truck had 14mm adapters. Trying to decide on the body and wheels these are my 3 choices of body so far but still can't figure out what model is the green jconcepts body
