LOL 1/2 degree of camber won't do much to a REVO! seriously though, the forward only conv. is the about the most important one. The brake linkage does need a little "tweaking" to get it to clear the center diff.

I finished second in MT in the GLORCS series and for all but the last race, my Revo was a bone stock 2.5, except for tires and a 3.3 engine

Custom bend the linkage, so it doesn't rub any where.
I used the stock one still, also have used the round white thing that comes with the Hi Tec servos.
Here's some pics for you.

a good race revo

the easiest way to see how to set up a revo to race is to sneak a peek at martin petre s revo. lol

the guy dominated monster truck last season in the glorcs and hes running a stock 3.3 engine and stock arms to boot.

i think the only mods he has to his revo is the forward only, rear brake and single servo steering.

I mounted mine on top of my receiver, which is ballooned & zip tied to the empty steering servo.
Yes the new Platinum Revo comes with a new RX box & PT mount.
