Wow you really know your stuff damn i wish i had you with me when i went to pick it up last week of the guy who used to own it oh well.
yes i am in melb and i would love to bring it to you for you to take a geez where abouts are you from?
thanks heaps i know i have spare arms in the tool box he gave me and i'll get onto chuckin them on right away.
as for the inner bearing none of the wheels have em??? and they do shake a little.
do you know the rough price of inner bearings and a new chassis
thanks again i guess its just another excuse to pull this thing apart again.

**Benschie** · 11-08-2009 12:02 AM

+ i dont think there is a crack in the header but i think i might have to try bending back to shape in a vice because its bent over the hex bolt and theres no way i can get it off

lol i will have to try to be careful not to put a crack in it but i will bring it to you first

I spent friday night making up a bracket to mount the side pipe and modding a HPI F150 shell (actually Towie did the lot) I think it looks good also threw on a set of 40 series.

**Benschie** · 02-09-2009 09:12 PM

Anyway here are the pics i talked to you about BIG-Block.
Imagine my shock when i took it outa the bag and saw that bend in the front right of the chassis ARGH FUSTRATING lol oh well tell me what you think i should do everyone? Sent it back and wait for a couple of days till i get a new one But im sure i wont get another till next week!

or go at it with a hammer and beat it back in the most gentle fashion possible? Anyway here are the Pics

**BIG-block** · 02-09-2009 10:19 PM

WTF????!!!! Did you get a second hand one or a new one? Its not in the most critical place but it is still at way too much of an angle. You could beat it down but I would rather get another one. Worried that it might crack on ya when you beat it down. I could weld it up but you will loose your andonising and it will look like crap. Just send it back and get another. That sucks mate.

**Benschie** · 02-09-2009 11:05 PM

Yeah i got it off that cars_alert guy on e-bay we were talkin about at yours. It says brand new but the cars_alert guy doesnt wanna hear a word of it. he said exactly "Nope sorry i cant do anything about it insurance was not paid and im confident i wrapped it safely, and never had this problem before.Given your feedback count please dont waste my time." 1stly my feed back is 100% good all positive and im sure it wasnt damaged in the mail because there is concrete scratchs all up the bottom near the bend and those couldnt have gotten there when it was wrapped up. It had 2 layers of bubble wrap on it. And he should help me damn it he said this on his buy page "Due to the nature of the sport, no refunds or exchange. What you see in the pictures is what you get unless otherwise stated. There can be small scratches and grease/lock tight on items, if you don’t agree don’t bid. I am not responsible for any lost items in the post, if you want cover request for registered post. If an item is or was inaccurately described, returned at buyers expense with only the items cost to be refunded -no shipping." I Dont think he said anything about the damage on the front of the chassis on his page as well ARGH WHAT A RIP

.
Lol Oh well here is the link too the page i got it off. Check it out yourself i think im entitled to change over i dont want my money back i just want a not bent chassis damn it is that too much ask for lol tell me what you think when you see the page if this doesnt work go to ebay and search Traxxas revo 3.3 extended chassis - 5308 or platinum
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Traxxas-revo-...3286.m20.l1116

**BIG-block** · 02-09-2009 11:22 PM

I don't know what to tell ya mate. He was good with my drive shafts so its the only reason I recomended him.
I think you have every right to get a new chassis and if he doesn't give him a bad rating. If it looks like it wasn't damaged in transport then he probably tried to screw ya. Don't know what else you can do.

All I need to do now is to do some repairs on the Revo. Will start that just as soon as the electric unit shows up.

Hi all,

New here - but thought i'd share my new purchase - still waiting on the gear arriving in the mail!

**purana** · 07-11-2009 07:03 PM

I was going to sell my Revo, but no point. So I put effort back into cleaning it up. Was doing some tuning and had the rubber on the muffler split. Oh well, will order one late next week and finally fix it for another attempt.

In the meantime I have purchased a Rustler VXL and got a wheelie bar. Put some anaconda tyres on it. Love it. Really nice buggy and its fun to drive. Never have had a rear wheel drive before. Just a bit of break and the thing spins out.

Had 3 RC cars running last night. An 1/16 E-Revo, 1/10 E-Revo and the 1/10 Rustler VXL.

Will have to get some pictures together

if you have stripped a 14mm plastic hex try get a set of erevo 14mm alloy ones. Or convert to 17mm alloy hexes and wheels.

Yeah going to try and get some alloy ones (and/or steel ones to replace them).

**snap off racing** · 14-11-2009 06:34 PM

if the wheel is ok you can just get some off the brushed erevo. You should be able to find them for less than 20 bucks.

I have a new set of rims/tyres all glued ready to go on, but before i put them on, will replace the slightly stripped hex hub.

Looks like rchobbies has these listed on website, will check if they have stock and order them in a weeks time. I already ordered something too which is to ship tomorrow. But I know I need some other bits, so will get them then.
