Thumbs up Which One - 01.12.2007, 08:59 AM

Should i get the Carbon Fiber Chassis or metal one For the E-Revo Kit. How much lighter is the chassis. Will it hold up. Is it worth the extra 15 bucks. Is it good to have all you shock pressure on a graphite plate. What do you think i should do. O and does anybody have any erevo pictures i have not seen many if you know someone or have some pics of a erevo i would like to see thanks. WHAT DO YOU THINK.(should i trust carbon fibre to hold everything togeather for bashing and racing):032:

Id second aluminum, even though CF is stronger and lighter by aproximattly 1 GP3300 battery, you can have a band-aid fix if somthing breaks.. Say you bent a plate on the chassis, you can bend it back and play while waiting for a replacement, with cf, they snap and cant be fixed so there is some down time.


The problem with nitro's these days are that they arent brushless... LOL

Aluminum all the way. If you're a basher, aluminum should bear your cruel driving a bit.:)

I've had mine for a year and its all scratched up and looks rough, but it will still go to h@!! and back with no troubles


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

Actually, I have only the maxx and love it. But most here would say the Revo is better.
