    Well I took delivery of my new Revo 3.3 a few days ago. Bought it from TowerHobbies. Slow delivery, but it worked out at $550 delivered. No duty here either :D
    Went through the break-in procedure yesterday, and it was so easy. 5 tanks through at various throttle levels, then a check up and opened it up a bit on tank 6. No messing with the needles, everything was just right from the factory. Only problem, was with the wiring to the easy start motor. Seemingly it's a weak spot, with many reported occurrences. It was an easy fix though, just soldered on a new plug. Fair play to Tower and Traxxas, both have said they will send out a new wiring loom, and Tower are also sending a new ez-start motor.

    I've added a few mods, put on a Tekno-Rc rear wing mount kit with a HPI Hellfire wing and fitted a Spektrum DX3.0. The Spektrum works perfectly with the optidrive and reversing set-up.

    My brother got his T-Maxx 3.3 the same day, so it was good craic breaking them both in.

    Hope to have some pics up soon....

    Cheers

    Yeah, I got two recievers Sly. I really like the spektrum. There is no glitching or gittering at all. And it's very easy to set up.

    Ya, once you bind the the RX to TX your done setting it up.
    I reckon we will see alot more 2.4ghz in the future. Easy to pick one up cheap in the states and bring it over...

    I got the Spektrum from the States. $250 delivered.

    I'll get some pics of the Revo up soon. One thing I did change was to put in the stiffer springs (supplied). The stock ones are way to soft! Now it sits fairly level under acceleration or braking.
