I got a revo 3.3 two weeks ago and the 3.3 leaves me wanting just a Lil more power. I was looking at the [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLNG0&P=SM]O.S 18 TM REVO EB FULLY MOD From tower[/link]. what gears should I use with the o.s for better low and top end. As of now the hop ups I have are, rpm a-arms, rpm front and rear bumpers, tekno wing kit with proline wing, resonator tuned pipe, light weight aluminum turnbuckles and red aluminum push rods. Next up is the F.O.C kit. Also my revo sits in a crouch at full speed, what springs should i use to change that??

What do you want to do with your revo? That engine is a good engine and it has More Power than the 3.3.

Im looking at doing more racing. I got a mgt that i bash with, btw i just order some 40 series proline velocity dish wheels and crimefighter tires.

DON'T get the EB mod os .18...they do hardly anything to there motors and there is no difference, i tried them, the mod looked stock and i didn't gain a thing. Get a non-modded one and send it here > www.abmods.com and you get a very fast turn around and a very good reliable guy, i get all my motors modded by him. He does great work and a full out mod it $85. this is just my opinion because the extra $100 isn't worth the $100

Get [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHLV8&P=SM]this one[/link]?? What about the gears, what gears should I use?

CrT-RaCeR

gears? the CB? i would use a 16 tooth, just my opinion...and yes that motor was the one i was talking about...

ThermalRD

Depends who you ask i guess. I've seen a few of thoe EB mods TM's run. They are really fast. I've run the standard .18tm, and i have the stock 3.3 in my truck right now. The EB TM is way faster.

what about my lil problem with the crouching on full throttle what springs would help me with that??

CrT-RaCeR

try the MIP clutch, and ThermalRD, yes its a little faster, but compare that to a AB Modded motor and it will smoke it soo bad it wont even be a race...

BrendanS

Adam at ABmods sponsors another forum, I've seen a bunch of videos of AB modded engines and they seem a lot faster than the EBmodded ones. Plus Adam doesn't charge as much.

happywing

It's WAY faster. Learn to tune.

Crankshaft is balanced
Crankshaft face is modified
Lightened and strengthened connecting rod
Lightened and modified piston
Cylinder sleeve is ported
Piston and sleeve is matched

Mip clutch for the crouching??? How would that help with the suspension

CrT-RaCeR

oops, stupid attack...uhh idk then...i feel like a retart now...

CrT-RaCeR

OS motors are easy to tune, u CANNOT FULLY balance a 2 stroke engine, the crankshaft is modded? look at stock and eb mod pictures...they look the same, yea he only takes a TINY amount out of the piston, not noticeable...cylinder IS ported? looks stock to me and how do you match the piston and sleeve? you cant...here is a link to a thread about this, read it over and look at the pix and decide...LINK: http://www.rccna.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1796 and can you tell me what EB Mods does besides put the stocker on the box? look at the pix for yourself

What i mean is the car squats in the back at full throttle and i wanted to know what springs would help eliminate that. Thanx for the input fellas

ThermalRD

Ahfu, for the suspension you can go to the progressive 3 rockers if you want. That'll help with squatting. And go with a heavier spring, and oil. I take it you are bone stock right now? Try the basic 3.3 revo racing setup on the Traxxas site. Its a bit firmer.

CrT-RaCeR

The car is suppose to squat at full throttle, if you stiffen the suspension it wont have as much traction, squatting in normal. If you don't care about traction and want to eliminate this, try heavier shock oil and stiffer springs...

REVO-Beat-U

To help reduce the "squat" in the rear end but still allow the Revo to have a soft feel while going over bumps, jumps, and cornering I had to change my rear springs the "TAN" Revo spring. You dont want to get to stiff or as CRT stated you can loose traction.
