Bought this Traxxas Revo 3.3 very cheap as there was lots of tiny problems with it so I took it out to see what needed doing after I fixed the brakes and reveres. It had unbalanced suspension due to different size parts being fitted and shock oil missing in a couple of shocks. No brakes or reverse gear due to the gearbox not being locked. Drive pin missing on one of the front wheels. Part of the front skid plate missing. Body posts almost useless due them being worn down by the truck grinding them along the floor upside down. A new body, the 2 I have are not bad, one is severely worse than the other and are not for this truck and the grinding noise is the wheels rubbing on the body... And finally, it just needed a good old fashioned clean and the electrics moving and wire tidying. The total cost of buying the car and restoring it to new, mint condition was just under £180. Bargain. Considering the new body and the paint for it cost nearly £50. BTW the green body in the video is not the new body. The body I chose was a 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor painted in pearlescent, 2 tone paint that changes colour from gold to pink in the light, See the finished truck in the thumbnail.
The electrics are a Turnigy TrackStar Waterproof 1/8 Brushless 120A ESC with a 2300KV motor and the battery I was using was a 3S 3300mah with an 80C discharge but this ESC can handle a 4S battery which is what I will be running in the future, either by two 2S 5300mah 100C batteries connected in series or one 4500mah 80C battery. I'll just finish by saying that in the video I was only running the car at 60% power, a setting I can program in the transmitter, because it was so unstable with the uneven suspension and the front wheel not powered. I also didn't have any instructions on how to program the ESC so I could not turn down the punch. Hence all the wheelies! Hahaha
