I suggest going to a single servo set up and if you have the $$ I love the Futaba S9350 Digital Servo, strong and fast. Going from stock to something like this be careful the first time out, you have never seen your truck respond like it will with this servo or one equal or better than it.

The JR8550 is one of the best monster truck servos out there. A little pricey though.

The proline thing really isn't a conversion its just a metal steering arm. A single strong servo an break the stock plastic part, but I have seen people get away with it.

the one servo set up by proline and the tekno wing are the 2 best upgrades for a revo.
a 3.3 motor would be a step up from the 2.5 but only worth the money if you do the traxxas trade in other then that i would get a o.s 18 to drop in there and a trinity or vantage pipe.jr@shs

the cheapest good servo is the High tech 645 or JR 650 less than $50 and it will turn the tires sitting still. The high tech has bearings I personally run the JR z9000t.

hi-tec is great for backyard bashing but to race i would use one of the 200 oz. airtronics or jr z9000 servo's.you also will need a rechargable reciever pack better then the stock 1100nmh,you would want 1400 or 1600nmh.
