As of 1/12/08, I am the owner of a Revo 3.3 NITRO, my first nitro in 3 years. $150 was way too tempting for an almost new one, being totally RTR and the bag containing all of the parts and manual was unopened. The truck has a bit of dirt on it, but no problem. The 3.3 is still tight (will lock up at the top), and I'm gonna break it in tomorrow. This truck only had a problem with the OptiDrive. Simple fix, and a great deal for me!
Now, you're probably thinking that a hardcore electric guy and nitro don't mix... Believe it or not, I'm actually pretty good with nitro and can tune pretty well. I've gotten LOADS of experience with it from working at the LHS for a year and a half, since there are lots of newbs out there who need help with nitro.
One problem I have run into is that I don't own any 7.2v NiMh stick packs to use on the EZ Start, let alone anything with a Tamiya plug (it's surprising that Traxxas isn't using their new connector on it). The solution: solder a Deans connector onto the EZ Start circuit board, and strap in a 2s 6000mah Lipo... I think that should work
.
More on this truck tomorrow after I get it running.
