If you guys have a needs for used parts I have a few for that.Also if needed I have full CNC and a full lathe not the little stuff.If you make the code I will punch you out the parts you need free and out of titanium or aluminum.I get to keep the code though.

Got a question for you foxtrott..... Do you know of a oversized fuel tank other than the stock tank that will fit the Traxxas Revo??? Thanks for any info.... Scott we may be able to design the set up to hold a larger tank .I will take a look and see what tanks are close and have the same near design but larger.With a larger tank I can think of a paticular modification I have been kicking around but just have not done.We have made twin screws for real cars and I feel they can be done for nitros also.Fuel would be a factor as would the driveline.If you want to see a full version of what I am talking about look up Keene and Bell super chargers and look for twin screws.Personally the blowers offered today for rc are BS by my equiptent readings but to each his or her own.Twin screws are more reliable and perform cleanly and they last .They do not blowby fuel when in Idle.All facters are increased without needing to put in valve bending cams and a list of manly or lunetti parts to make a car run.A stock 5.0 gt can take 3 yes 3 seconds off the 1/4 mile and still drive to work everyday.The stock camaro with a 350 5.7lrt can take close to 4 seconds off the quarter mile and still drive to work.No changes in ignition and fuel pressure and availabilty.Even mixture when set and your band stays equil through out a very long band.Twin screws are the future of cars and I beleave the future in RC performance enhancements for nitro.Oh if you can kinda keep this to this site if you will. Anyhow if you do not understand them you could not really make one that works properly.Anyone can make a blower that will increase hp but you shorten your band.That means you will be the fastest guy on a straight line at 1 point in time.Also the slowest the rest of the time.But everyone else will pass you with their stock moters as your band is limited to that one area in the band.IE blowers are BS in my book for RC.Dragsters are set to shift and keep the car AT the very small bandA nice looker but I would take one of those stock jbs72 world champs and run an JBs72 world champ with a blower and I gurentee I would win a complete race with the stock motor.If someone never had to let off the gas nor speed up a blower would be great as long as you have a digital onboard and a laptop to tell you exactly where you are in the band. Sorry for the runoff guys the blower BS upsets me because it is just marketing for suckers!I have built top fuel dragsters I understand this completely.Blowers are a RIP OFF unless your running a rc dragster and have a digital autoshift programmedat the peak of the band with your onboard pc link.I have not see them available.I have only seen WANNABE diagnostics available for onboard.oops better not open another can of worms.

Thanks for the info man, wasn't really wanting to modify the motor from stock anyhow, just looking to run a larger tank so I can run longer in the mains.

Longer wheelbase the more stable it is, and no me scott and fox trott have been talking so forget you longer isnt more stable. it makes it harder to turn. wider makes ur car more stable.

actually both make it more stable

i've done some research Kevin and Ryan is right.... longer means your gonna need more from your steering.. and wider makes it much more stable where as you don't traction roll....

yea see i kno wat im talkin bout. u only want to make it longer it u have too much steerin that u cant fix ok i said i know what im talking about. making the wheelbase longer makes it harder to steer. wat part didnt u understand. if u have too much steering that u cant fix with your controller than u make the wheel base longer
