Exclusive, Limited Edition Model
Designed Specifically For The Pro Racer!

Over 50 New Features and Setups!

The 2008 Revo Platinum Edition is designed specifically for the pro racer. We took everything we learned from 6 national championships and packed it all into the most advanced, high-performance racing monster truck ever created. The same forward-thinking technology, high-tech materials, and unsurpassed engineering that continue to set Revo apart from the pack are further magnified on the Revo Platinum Edition. All the exclusive factory team parts and trick setups are integrated into a lean and mean racing chassis that's engineered just for the track. Key enhancements include a larger 150cc fuel tank; strengthened axle housings with 17mm aluminum wheel hub adapters; center differential and rear brakes; innovative new Response Pro tires; larger, high-flow air filter; compact receiver box and servo mount; and powerful, dual digital high-torque steering servos. There are over 50 new features and setups in all.

Since its inception, the Standard Monster Truck Class has been dominated by Revo, creating highly competitive spec-class type racing. Today, Revo is the only serious choice for Standard Monster Truck racing. The 2008 Revo Platinum edition was developed and proven on the track specifically for racers competing in the class. The creativity and customization developed trackside is now available in a complete package with precision-tooled components and factory fit and finish. Designed with the pro in mind, the Revo Platinum Edition delivers a championship setup and unstoppable out-of-the-box performance that’s factory tuned to win! This limited production 2008 model will only be available for a short time. Order yours today from your local hobby dealer. Available April 11, 2008.

Wonder if they'll bring a New Revo out now, as it's the only one they havn't done yet.

And, Today... This...

There's some Nice additions on it.

I'll Have to organise one of the New Bodies for mine.

Russ, is this one vastly different to yours? or is it a case of just lots of minor changes?

What would you say are the good/bad points about yours, and how do you get on with the inboard suspension arrangement? :thumbs_up:

russmini - March 2, 2008 05:00 PM (GMT)
There's not a lot different Luke.

They've used their New Waterprooof Servo's

Anti Roll Bar Kit (Something i wanted. Tekno do them as well)

Wing Mount and Wing (I've got the Tekno one)

Done away with Both Radio Box's and designed New Smaller ones. (Tekno do some, iwill probably get these ones now)

Done away with Reverse Servo and presumedly Reverse. (i have as well)

Got Tubes on as Standard. (I added them to mine)

Resonator Exhaust.

New Race Style Bodyshell

And... Truggy Style Wheels & Tyres.


So, Not Majorly different, but some Nice Additions and Dropped things.


You'll see mine at the next Bash mate.

rumour has it that it will cost between £100-£120 + the cost of a standard 3.3

Jedi Master - March 3, 2008 04:02 PM (GMT)
So we could be looking at £400 - £450!!! :o

well sorry to show this to people but here's the price clicky , bit too much if you ask me!!!

Jedi Master - June 1, 2008 04:16 PM (GMT)
Wow, thats expensive. There's a lot of other RC's you can buy forthat money, and it you're only gonna bash then I can't see this being a first choice!!!

You could go to a full 1/8 brushless for that!!! (including your batteries!!!) :clap: :thumbs_up:

seany5060 - June 1, 2008 06:55 PM (GMT)
