With all the chatter about the unconfirmed price, I have been doing some soul searching.

I already have a 3.3 nitro Revo that I bought for a conversion project but, the new lady on the block definately has my eye.

My problem is the price. I am sorry Traxxas, but over $500 for a brushed electric is just silly. I won't pay it. I COULD, but I won't. $50 more than the new E-Maxx I would understand but not $525.

With that in mind, I think I will just wait and order me a ERevo chassis and still do my conversion. I already have the front and rear ends. The only other thing I would need is the tranny.

And at the rate the Ebay pirates are tearing apart the new E-Maxx and selling parts, I don't think I will have any trouble finding them.

The price is high, but when I think about it and how it is made and the upgrades, it will easily keep up with the nitro guys at the 99.9% nitro track I frequent. So that in itself will be worth the nitro guys kicking themselves.

But in your case you already have th revo and the rep said front and rear suspension are the same, so you don't need much to turn it into the new erevo. Good luck.

with all the braces and such i think the chassis will be more like $75 complete, and the trans will be spendy as well, and the diffs are better as well on the erevo

i asked a ebay chop shop guy and he has 16 on order, and said they would be on ebay....chopped, so the seperate parts will be around
