h-fit short shifter with revo technica short throw

has anyone tried this combo? i've tried searching but haven't seen anyone post it. i want a short shifter with a shorter throw. so far i've only seen someone combine the mugen with the h-fit. would this combo even work together?

otherwise, does anyone have any other suggestions to get a short shifter with short throw without having to spend the money on a mugen short shifter?

I have the revo short shifter, and its nearly identical to the mugen, so I don't see why it wouldn't work if you've seen the mugen and the h-fit together, I'm in to see this though!

omg! i'm thinking of the same combo! found the revo through ebay for around 80usd
did you find it elsewhere thats cheaper? are you going to get the h-fit with the ORB?

bump, still need input.

@ivanh haven't really searched for pricing but 80 seems about right. and i'm not sure what the ORB is?

yeah, i'm wanting to do the revo/h-fit combo but the only thing stopping me is that the h-fit guys are pretty bad w/ support. they take 4+ days to reply to emails and sometimes the email addy doesn't even receive it and i get a mail daemon. so i'm thinking perhaps the skunk2 adaptors

really? hmmm thats not good

theres only two reasons why i wouldnt go with skunk2: i heard you can't go back to stock and i heard it raises the shifter more than the h-fit adapter.

but i agree with you, customer support is a huge reason why i'd stray away from h-fit.

let me know if you get any other feedback

Since I own the revo, if anyone is brave enough to send me an h-fit, I'd be willing to put it on and report back. You'd get it back of course just a thought.

I've had it for about 8 months, went in great, did exactly what it was supposed to do and feels great. No complaints at all. I'd buy it again.

just an update on the h-fit
just ordered the h-fit full kit and they processed it quite fast.
the response via email seems friendly
and as for the slow replies, apparently they've been having technical difficulties with their emailing system.
but as for support, seems solid

cheers

Emailed h-fit this morning to ask if I ordered their orb, if they'd let me return it if it didn't fit on my revo technica, the answer was yes and the response was friendly and prompt.

sweet! same thing to me aswell, as i have right hand driver side, i wasn't sure if it'll work with the adaptors, they said i could return it minus the shipping cost, thumbs up.

let us know if the orb fits the revo so then i'll buy one aswell. cheers

@HOLY FIT, are you ordering the ssas as well or just the orb?

Just the orb, I can't justify getting the h fit too with how happy I am with the revo, unless it made it even more amazing. So offer is open for anyone who's curious, but until that, or someone else does it, ill stick with the revo

just installed the revo last night and i really like it. i went with the revo cause i found it $80 picked up locally. still debating if i should try to get the h-fit to go along with this.
