I think LST tires on 40s will be pretty tight. I use mine on TwinForce wheels.
Here are some wheel dimensions (diameter x width) :
Maxx: 87 x 56mm
40s: 102 x 86mm
LST: 87 x 77mm

The LST tires fit on standard Maxx wheels no problem, but it makes the tire more narrow. That's why I used the TF wheels in the end, they are a bit wider.

Pics? Not really any new ones. Here are the only 3 I have here.
Rene has some acion shots and even some short vids from my vacation in Holland. Maybe he can upload some?

daniel how much is the difference in ground clearance between the nitro chassis and the g2r chassis in the middle under the gear box. given: same tires, same springs etc.
is there a difference at all?

bye
rhylsadar

I will check tonight!

The lowest point, in both versions, is the front skidplate, by the way.
But If you want, I can check at the center tonight.

Later
DAF

hi
yes i see the lowest point. i am interested in the center height.
thx.
rhylsadar

PM sent!

Gee daf. I was kind of wondering the same to. The higher center makes for better bashing sometime.

Just had a close look at both of them. In my stock chassis the tranny sits higher, indeed. A bit less than 2cm difference.
And the Gorilla always seems lower because the center plate is so wide, too.
Yes, the stock chassis is better for bashing, IMHO. The Gorilla screams for tracks.

Thanks daniel. I keep this in mind if i go revo. I keep looking but haven't got one yet.

Okay, here are some pics of the underside. It gives you an idea.

I guess all of you know how it looks on a Gorilla, so I haven't bothered taking pics of mine. (Would have been useless in terms of demonstrating the tranny clearance anyway, since I run a center diff)

Hope this clears it up.

Well the tranny don't hang no lower than the bottom plate on the g2r. Thanks for the pic. I was just wondering which one to go with.

For bashing I would still go with the stocker, and maybe one of those Hardcore Racing Titanium skids.

thx for the pics.
bye

You're welcome! Always!

ay dafni like ur conversion and plan on doing sumthing like it like every1 else is. i got a question for the tranny mounting on the stock revo chassis did u just line up the tranny with the holes already in the chassis and drill in some other more holes?

Yeah, it seems so :) Glad to be an inspiration to so many people!


Yeah, you have to drill some more, and I "moved" the existing holes with a small round file a bit. Just a mm or so. Actually quite easy to do.

Just LMK when you have more Questions!

DAF

yea i was trying to get the driveline in the center straight and ended up shaving more metal so i didnt have enouh meat to drill holes. i may just end up using bits of an e-maxx chassis and bolt on to the revo chassis

My tranny is off-center. (actually not a bad thing, with one motor)

Check the pic to see how I re-inforced the area around the holes with some alu:

thanks dafni these were very helpful u got the info i needed now i need to get some new dremel atachments the chassis chewd mine away i saw the sander shrink every time i started sanding down until it was gone.

I don't use the dremel for chassis-fights anymore. For this kind of work I use files (rasps), a rough file and a finer file. Full-contact, head-on :) Have fun.

Welcome, mate. Anytime. And make sure to post pics of the finished truck!

DAF

thmx for the tip

I find the file works better in some situations. Just to let you know. It seem more precise and less likely to mess up a chassis. Some time it seems faster to.

Daniel..

I have got both...

the P in my B and the Q on the S...

Serum, no idea what you are talking about. Altough I came up with some funny versions on your riddle!

Coolhand, yeah, you're right. I generally don't use a Dremel on alu, much prefer files. I also use those small thin files a lot. Back in the days I enjoyed carving wood and soapstone... now I like alu :)

I'm guessing "The Princess in my bed and the Qween on the shelf" ??

Oh gosh, I haven't even solved my OWN riddle! :013:

:007:

its too bad you didnt find out your own riddlewhat are your funny versions

It wasn't too hard Daniel?
:p

No, Serum, it wasn't. But somehow I was looking to far.
Lucky boy, you are. But I can't complain either, really.

Boss, I'll spare you ;)

ok Dafni

Just an update: Truck is still going strong, became a regular basher here, let all my friends drive it.
Almost no weak spots left, but for those ringgears... stupid things, even with alu diffs, keep shredding them on a regular basis.
Fingers are still crossed for bulkless! Even bought the needed diffs in advance.

Dafni, The bulkless will eventually be made by FLM. Its just a matter of them finding the time. There expanding in sales but not in employees. Time is a lost art over their for those guys lol. Not to mention they've had some terrible luck within the last month.

Sweet revo Dafni, jus wondering if you had to cut away any of the original chassis?

Inspired me to do one :D

Thanks

Yes, you have to cut away about 2+/-mm away so the tranny will fit in the chassis.

Thanks alot, now I just gotta find me a roller :S

Have you seen the G2R?

Yep but a bit expensive for me thanks :)

Also, have you seen my E-Revo? I'm gonna try and snap some more pictures soon. It's rather different now.

Look at this! This thread has more than 10'000 hits! :)
And the good old truck is still going strong! When I look at it now it seems obsolete and like a hack job, all beaten up, nothing with what I would show up at a track, but it does a great job as basher. We bash it really hard.

Thank all of you who posted here.

DAF

That is cause it was an awesome job of building the first time.
Don't worry daniel. It is character on the truck. Not beat up.

Dafni, Now that you've had some time to play with it. I have a quick question.

I'm looking for a semi cheap motor for a truck similar to yours. I have a warrior 9920 esc so I'd like it to work with that controller.

High run times are a must. Nothing to fast, around 35-40 if possible.

LMK what you have in mind. Thanks a bunch!
