The "J-Revo" build!

[Spartanator]

Thanks Tim, I haven't seen any of my Revo stuff since its been warm out! If I could find a good looking Boss Mustang body I'd be all over it. My parents neighbor has a 71' 440 Cuda, almost the same paint scheme (Matte Lime-ish Green with matte black 440 logos. He messes with me all the time about this body... Lol

That body looks good. These things do need the maintenance though. I have been meaning to post my Revo on here for you to see as well for quite some time now. I finally got some vid tonight and slapped a few pics to start it out. I am also in need of a new body. I think a Monster Mutt would be the trick as this is pretty much the regular Revo workout these days

Hey Shawn,
this is got to be one of the best clips I have seen for a long time, I was smiling all the way! Love the dogs and the place , I especially loved the part where you drove the truck into the woods
Ahh, may be I need an excuse to get a BL monster truck. I have only gen-1 E-MAXX on a Dodge Power Wagon body. Another I had was a Kyosho Twin motor. Forgot the moniker but I had the CF side plate ( up graded version) and has two solid axel, may be you guys know the model name as I am on my vacation and not at home to check.......
Can it be the "Twin Force"?! it is brushed as well, but powerful and pulls wheelies on demand.

Like a duface I forgot to order some of the stock sized bearings in the carrier.
6 12x18x4 bearings from Avid will be arriving next week so I can get it running again. I really like Avid bearings, Boca was way too expensive....
The Jeep body has departed, hurt but it was beat down and time to let it go.
Bearings are packed (I didn't pack the ones from Avid since they seemed done already). New front bumper is installed since the old one was in cyclops mode with the LEDS. The carriers were not as bad as I originally thought but those are getting replaced anyways and I will salvage what I can.

I need to order new shock ends, that is what is causing the slop and allowing the axles to pop. I ordered the wrong Road Rages.... I forgot that I like the 40 series better....

The MOPAR body is in:

Tyler, that is simply awesome! Makes me want to go back to land RC
This is my all time favorite body. Sometimes I struggle between this and the Camaro and Boss Mustang, but I always come back to this one

Sorry I didn't see your post for a while! I have been working a lot lately....
Makes me want to get mine back up and running again.....

I VERY RARELY rebuild the shocks on any of my RC trucks. I usually break one or bust it open on a crash before I rebuild them. The time varies from 1 day to a year.... Neglect! Haha

It's in the section 1 of my parents neighborhood where they are building houses on the Estate lots.

[tlandauer]

How often do you have to rebuild your shocks? -----the one thing keeps me from a die hard off roader.
Looks good, nice place to stretch your legs!

Nice. Now seeing the kind of houses you live in (in the video) your build price on your boat just went up.

Thanks!
All bearings will need to be replaced over the next 2 months along with new bumpers, body mounts, tires and bodies.
At this point I'm in right around $1,874.
$2K here I come... Whoops...
