New revo crawler?

[danieljk]

I know alot of you lads are against fully independent suspension for crawling, but i've gotta say... wow, the revo can really crawl. It seems like it would be a pretty good buy for someone who wants it all... bashing, racing, and crawling, for a good budget.

What do you guys think about this?

Yup, I made a clone of the revo seen on traxxas' website, right now it is in crawling form but give about 2 hours and I can be ready to race or bash. And I only have a little under $700 into it.

My txt will pull your X Factor haha lol

 

[DirkDigler]

I started out with an Xfactor.
It used to outcrawl(rock racing style) many, many txt's and clods!

i wish they would jus pop a nice high power bl system in the rock revo for torque and since it would make it electric and do some custom 4 wheel steering

 

[danieljk]

actually, i think it'll be easy for a revo to crawl. There's many gearing options, and many different engines for power.

It's not like the x-factor, where you can't touch the throttle w/out flipping it on its back.

The travel is good, the gearing CAN be good(if you know what you're doing), it is a low cg BUT w/ a high ride height... it's perfect. So you know what.

When the thing`s done, I`d like to put it in a tug o truck war against another truck just for kicks.

I have a TLT like that. But see, I can be ready to bash/race in one hour and I spent half of what you did, and my TLT can actually crawl instead of rock hop. :lol:

The revo on Traxxas' site can't crawl. Watch the video again, it falls off the rocks or pushes them to the side. Plus it is always going down hill.

and the vid is mostly slow motion, to make it looks like it's crawling! NIce try Traxxas! I have to say...the rig looks cool over all but us crawlers know that it ain't a hard core rig. I don't think that they are proclaiming that it is a competitive crawler either though.

OK where is the Tech?
