sweet vid man, i wish i had places like that to bash with my truck

[Bunsincunsin]

The video doesn't work for me, it just plays sound, no picture.

[kurrz]

Nice vid. Whats in that revo?

[nitrohead5300]

Nice vid!! What is in that Revo?

[one]

Either I am in a time warp, or this CONTINUALLY keeps getting reposted again and again.

It's a Revo with a .18 tz

[airmaxx23]

One is right, it is an OS .18 TZ. I reposted it because links to the rc-pics site arent allowed.

[one]

yeah, I meant to say due to technical errors, but.... yeah.

What are the distinct advantages to the .18tz over the 2.5r driving in your experience? I love my Revo, and especially love the 2.5r, but sometimes i think "if it had just a LITTLE more juice".

[airmaxx23]

I'm going to have to tell you about the TM and TZ both. They both are easy to tune (much easier than the 2.5R), hold a tune and will run for a long time between rebuilds. They one-way bearing and pullstart in the TZ is very durable also. I'm just starting my 8th gallon of fuel in the TZ and it is still running great. In the videos my engine temps never get over 215 degrees, and are usually closer to 195-200. I felt the same way about the 2.5R in the Revo, it just seemed to need a bit more "umph". The TM gives it quite a bit more power but the TZ, honestly, is crazy...I really dont see the need for more power, and I've never said that about an engine before. It's just like Car Action said when they reviewed it saying it was as powerful as most of the good .21 engines. Did you notice the rolling wheelies in the video? That day my engine was running 190-195. Either engine in a major power gain.

I usually don't bother with video but that was the most brutally awesome thing I've seen in a long time.

:D

[SteveK]

Is that Joey G from The Sopranos driving?

[jeepinator2]

That video clearly does not need more cowbell.

[Silent Night]

Wow! That is an awsome video.. The back flips and wheelies were awsome... I really want a revo now...

[jeepinator2]

Revos are for people who can't hack a madforce.

[Silent Night]

So are madforces really good too? Maybe I'll just get both....

[jeepinator2]

Oh ya. They OWN ALL OVER the Revo.
Kyosho = god

[airmaxx23]

From my experience the Mad Force is not very durable at all and cant handle jumps very well. I've seen someone jump one about 8 feet in the air and snap the from axle/ diff housing in half.

[airmaxx23]

Someone else make the comment about rick looking like Joey G also...His Revo is the orange one and mine is the Blue one. I'm the tall thin guy you see in the other 2 videos.

[danieljk]

Like airmaxx said, the tm and tz are both crazy. Almost every1 who can afford it at the U.E forum puts an EBmodded one in their revo, or dace predator. You should see videos of the EB modded ones, :eek: .

[Joshmiles65]

wow, I am at a loss for words... I didn't know that was possible...excellent driving BTW

[WheelNut]

Damn that is one crazy video! That OS is an awsome engine oh my god....bow down to the Japanese masters of engines at os!

[oggydog]

airmaxx23 what rockers, springs,and oil weight are you using?

[airmaxx23]

I'm using P-1 rockers, green springs in front, tan springs in the rear and 50 wt. oil all around.

[oggydog]

thanks for the info airmaxx23 where are you guy's running your trucks at?
