Just curious, Why in one picture, is the Trinity header attached to the Trinity pipe, and in another picture, it has a different header?

Other than that, It looks good. I have to admit, I agree with TGreg about it looking too heavy for racing, but it looks like it will take some abuse when bashing.

Only suggestion I would make, is to lower the ride height a little. Even if just bashing, it will turn a little better, and be less likely to roll over when turning. (Bashing is no fun, when you spend half the time running to turn your truck back onto the wheels).

Good start but just remember integy=junk!!! The revo is a race truck and its was designed to be light and fast!! adding alloy parts is just defeating the purpose!! you'd think because its alloy it will protect your truck better?Wrong it has no flex and the shock from a crash will break something else!The os 18 is a great choice make shure you gear it right and get lightweight hop up parts ie; rpm and shed some more weight like foc/ radio boxes/ 1 Ht servo/tires/ rims and you'll have a quicker/ stronger and more reliable truck for both bashing and racing.

I"m really not into racing it or bashing it, I take it out in the yard and stuff, I'm more of a show guy, I'm building my Revo to look good. That may sound dum but it's what I want
