Traxxas Revo 3.3 Suspension Detail Monster Truck
Video Rating: 4 / 5
I ESTIMATE the top speed of my Revo to be over 60mph with this set-up. This estimate is based on the top speed of a stock Revo 3.3 being 45+mph with a TRX 3.3 engine and 15/38 gearing. My Revo now has a more powerful engine than a 3.3 (Picco .26 Max), a THS tuned pipe that produces more top end than the stock pipe, and 20/34 gearing. 20/34 is 48.8% taller than 15/38. 1.488 x 45mph = 66.96mph Other variables come into play such as aerodynamics, bearing drag, rotating mass, etc. I think it’s safe to say that it should top 60mph with this set-up AFTER taking those variables into account. Once I get the Picco P3 .28 and 22/34 gearing installed, I will be able to get accurate speeds because I now have a Bushnell radar gun. Keep an eye out for that video! Thanks for watching and check out some of my other videos!

@SuperAiden101 Nope:)
@ZnEaKySpyNL the savage is stronger ok END OFF!!
@SuperAiden101
Bacause its a basher does not mean its stronger
@ZnEaKySpyNL revo is more of a racer, and savage is a basher, so basher is gunna be stronger… SAVAGE FTW!!
@SuperAiden101
Savage are slow compared to revo. And no savage are not stronger. Revo has bigger parts.
HOLYSHIT ITS TOY
@philnjenn4ever or u can scra them both and get a savage
ive had two t maxx and two revo by far revo is a better truck i could take a 2.5revo and eat any 3.3 t maxx that was on the track
@philnjenn4ever out of the box yea there shit… you do a couple things to it that traxxas should have done already for the price there asking for… then its a great truck
trust me i had a revo 3.3 and let me tell you IT WAS A PIECE OF SHIT! i dont want to even go into detail about how much of a piece of shit that truck was. lets just say this DONT GET A REVO! GET A TMAXX

If u think the revo is crap and built like s**t then only one truck for you to get and that’s a fu***n tonka truck…yes I mean an hpi…lol
the design is nice but every thing is shiiiiitt sham on you traxxas i will never buy a traxxas car ever again
NitroRcx u people suck, I bought a Exceed Razor from you that keeps breaking everytime i try to drive it without even me knocking it. Fucking chep piece of crap.
love revo suspension!
new brushless edition revo is badass!
i will half to try that on my stairs
oh god
is that stco suspension
@tylerhell The gearing is in the video.
@computerguy787 Savage all the way! It is a much more durable platform. The Revo is too “toyish”.
@RM250D8rzr I tried the RRP steel gear kit, but it made the Revo slower due to more rotating mass. I also snapped a primary shaft in the transmission, which cost me ~$25 to replace. I sold the steel gears and went back to the stock plastic ones. I only stripped a plastic trans gear twice, and they are about $5 each, so stick with plastic. I would recommend using a steel spur gear though. Plastic ones strip too easily. They get really hot at these speeds.
@mstreamer9991 LOL. Bullet rocks!
@CARDUDE143 Nitro engine superchargers don’t work! They just make the engine run lean, which kills the piston and sleeve quicker! A better way to spend $150 would be to have the engine professionally modified.
@shredordieman It uses model engine fuel, which contains Nitromethane.
@RM250D8rzr It should be about the same. 5-10 gallons of fuel depending on how you tune the engine. I never kept an engine for more than 3 gallons of fuel anyways, so I wouldn’t know for sure! lol.
@crazybearrc No. The 3.3 doesn’t have enough torque to pull gearing that high. I never hit 60 with this Revo. I got a radar gun after making this video. The fastest this truck ever went was 54mph with a Picco. 28 in it. A modified Big block engine is the only way to get it to break 60.
@IbzSolja1 It requires only a $20 mount made for this engine only to drop it into the Revo chassis.
@nitroghost666 The Picco .26 is a “mid block” engine. It was designed specifically for the Revo and requires only a different mount to drop into the Revo Chassis.
@Therevo29 A .32 is overkill for the Revo drivetrain. They have too much torque. 32′s don’t turn very high RPM’s anyway. The Picco .26 was best in the Revo for me. I tried a Picco P3 .28, but the slipper clutch couldn’t handle it. I couldn’t even get through 1 tank without the friction pads exploding. I sold my Revo last fall. The HPI Savage is a much better platform for Big Block power and bashing.
what does the camera stand on ? by the way, nice car.
Smoking fast!!!
@Revomad1 is the savage just as fast and fun to drive as the revo? i want a unbiast answer. i want something that is fun to drive, and fast. what is my best bet?
i am looking into a diffrent engin for my revo 3.3 could i put a .32 on it?
Woo bullet for my valentine
He how did you manage to mod it? we tried to use a Ansmann 21. Virus engine but there was no way it would fit due to the rear diffs.. How did you fit yours?
would the revo 3.3 with a regular stock 3.3 engine go 60 with the 20 pinion and the 30 spur gear?
@Revomad1 are you useing a metal gear kit?
how long does the .26 go till it needs a re build? lets say compared to a 2.5?
is it gas powered?
Sweet ride I also like the song by Mullet for my valentine.
@Revomad1 w0000!!!! SAVAGE ALL THE WAY!!!!!!
Those are good points, but the TRX 3.3 would never reach peak RPM’s with 20/34 gearing. It just doesn’t have the torque. Realistically, the Revo was probably doing about 50mph in this video. I maxed out at 54mph with my Picco .28, 22/34 gearing setup. I just sold my Revo. I’m all about the HPI Savage now. It’s a far stronger platform for Big Block power and bashing.
When doing all these calculations for top speed it is good that you considered variables such as power difference, gearing, aerodynamics, etc. But you forgot the most important variable of them all when calculating top speed, the max RPM of the engine.
Even if the picco .26 had twice the HP of the 3.3, the 3.3 has a higher max RPM. Your Revo may be faster, but that is only because of the taller gearing you have.
The power of your engine is not increasing top speed, only acceleration.
I’m starting to have the same problem with my Picco .26 now. Guess I have to get a steel spur
