looks good. do you race with the 40's on it? i find they handle like crap compared to stock sized tires or even tmaxx sized tires.
Heres a few of mine:

hmmm, I just pushed down on the back end of my Revo (to simulate wot) and the toe doesnt seem to really change, maybe a little to the "in" side.

I run about -2.0 degrees camber all around, and a bit of toe out on the front, and a bit of toe in on the rear.

Your problem confuses me.

oOoOoOo wait... have you changed the "roll center" on yours? (the position of the control arm pins) If you did, apparently you must put in spacers on the tie rods to compensate for this... could be your problem.

thats creepy, you must have changed something... look in your manual about adjusting your "roll center" its possible you put the control arm pins in the wrong spot last time you had it apart, you'll understand what i mean when you see it in the manual.

Default RE: MY REVO SETUP CHECK IT OUT!

Well here is a Revo 3.3 racing setup I got 3 days ago. It is for sale as a roller on eBay. (I do this to make a little $ because i am only 14 years old, just look up revo 3.3 roller you will find it.)

It has several hopups anyways. If I wasnt selling it I would run this setup with the .18 TZ though, It has tekno fuel tank and receiver box conversion, and 150 cc tank wept back arms for a 49mm longer wheelbase then the original Revo. Pather Boas on 23mm's. etc. The 3.3 motor came with a roto start backplate which I thought was a good idea for racing becuase it is probably 4+ oz lost(pm if interrested in motor or roller)

here some pics I will show what happens if I compress the suspension in the rear











here are the rear toe in/out pics

uncompressed:


compessed:


there really isnt that much of a difference....
but it still toes out a .5 or 1 degree. just like yours but not as much.

I agree the cvds shouldnt really move but just look at your truck go up and down a whole lot and something will click in your mind!
