I don't have a suggestion right off hand. I would say get creative and show us something fancy. ;)

Mike.L 02.22.2006 10:40 PM

nice looking good i cant wait till we drive together:p:D

boss 302 02.22.2006 10:49 PM

it definately looks better with the bl in it rather than the titans.
as for the mount make something nice and fancy.

Sylvester 02.23.2006 09:05 AM

Thanks for all the compliments, ill come up with something, it does look better BL rather than titans:D

Dafni 02.23.2006 09:22 AM

Congrats on the BL!

Maybe you want to mount the ESC on the spare "ear" of the motorplate?
Remember how I have it on my first e-revo?
If you want, I'll try to dig out a pic.

Sylvester 02.23.2006 09:24 AM

If you can get me a pic for reference, it would be gladly appreciated! Yes, i am gonna make a bracket on the other ear of the motor mount, no other place to do it.

Dafni 02.23.2006 09:33 AM

Okay, here you are:

Hope this gives you an idea. Very simple, really.

Sylvester 02.23.2006 09:38 AM

Thanks! I dont think it will be very hard...

Dafni 02.23.2006 09:40 AM

No, it isn't.

You're welcome.

Alex Berman 02.24.2006 11:21 PM

I would have to say that is one of the best looking trucks I've ever seen! I want one!

Sylvester 02.25.2006 09:48 AM

Alex, all you gotta do is hook me up with some LiMn's worth of 19.2V :)

Sylvester 02.25.2006 09:49 AM

**alex, empty your pm box, i cant pm you anymore because its full!**

Alex Berman 02.25.2006 10:15 AM

Sorry about that! It's empty now!

Sylvester 03.09.2006 11:23 AM

Well, i finaly got to run her! I was geared at 18/70 and my motor was getting a bit hot, so im gonna get a 64t spur and see if that helps. But man this thing flies! I cant wait to try it on 16 cells! Does anyone know where to get lower than a 64t 32pitch spur gears? thanks.

pcnutz 03.09.2006 11:44 AM

kimbrough rc10gt 60 spur
traxxas 54 spur

Sylvester 03.09.2006 12:49 PM

traxxas has a 54t spur?

Sylvester 03.09.2006 01:03 PM

Found it. Would 18/54 be overgeared on 14 and 16 cells?

pcnutz 03.09.2006 04:16 PM

on a 10L I would not try it 18/54
also I would stick with 14 cels on 10L

Sylvester 03.09.2006 05:38 PM

im gonna try 18/60, do the rcgt gears work just like the traxxas ones?

pcnutz 03.09.2006 05:59 PM

I don't know I was going to try it out on my maxx hybrid with twin force tranny, I know the center bushing is alot bigger on a twin so I could just drill it out, might be able todo the same for maxx trans its only 4.50$ to try

Sylvester 03.09.2006 06:21 PM

So it wouldnt be a direct fit? Stinks. might just go tto LHS and see what they got.

Sylvester 03.13.2006 10:15 PM

Got a 64t spur, temps on the motor went down. This truck is CrAzY!

boss 302 03.14.2006 06:51 AM

good to hear you got it running better

pcnutz 03.14.2006 08:05 AM

usen 64 and what?

coolhandcountry 03.14.2006 08:08 AM

Does this mean you running 18 64 now dom?

Sylvester 03.14.2006 01:39 PM

yep. Its still a bit undergeared though, might have to try a 20t pinion.

E-maxx-kid 03.14.2006 04:43 PM

10l's can take that kind of gearing?, Im running 20/66 on my 7xl and it seems just about fine.

nitrostarter 03.14.2006 06:41 PM

I guess we'll find out when he's buying another motor. :035:


Personally I think it's a little high also but if the temps are good, its ok.

Sylvester 03.14.2006 06:48 PM

It is high, but the batteries and 9920 arent even warm, the motor get the hottest. Gonna have to try some 16 cell packs soon. 14 is already a bit.

Any ways on loosing some more weight? :)

J Cates 03.16.2006 03:43 PM

I have NIP flextek suspension for Revo,PM me if you know anyone that wants it.

JThiessen 03.16.2006 08:04 PM

Cates - sent you a pm

Sylvester 03.17.2006 09:46 PM

Got back from some more bashing today, and broke 2 things! I broke a left upper a-arm in half and snapped a drive shaft. I took off all the arms and replaced them with some RPM arms, after replacing , no problems. Tomorrow i will be making a custom controller mount out of blue nylon to match my blue arms. I will put up pics soon, had some fun times bashing with a nitro mt;)

toby 03.18.2006 08:07 PM

hey sylvester. i will be interested i nthat controller holder if you wwanna make another.

Some pics of the truck:)

Sylvester 03.18.2006 08:40 PM

My controller mount is made of a solid blue nylon block, it has a little reamed hole so the wires go through it. I like its colour cause it matches the blue rpm arms. Toby, pm me if you like this controller mount.

Sylvester 03.18.2006 08:41 PM

Forgot pics**

Sylvester 03.18.2006 08:43 PM

I really like this mount because it weighs next to nothing, is rigidy , and can mount the ubec and 9920 on seperate sides, i got lucky i found this nylon block, especially in blue. Luckily, i have 1 or 2 more of these blocks, but they have no drilled holes.

squeeforever 03.18.2006 09:30 PM

sylvester, why arent you running the foam pads on the chassis?

Sylvester 03.18.2006 09:47 PM

i took them off , they ripped, and they got soo much dirt under them.
