Truly a work of art:004:

I do hope you intend to flogg a few custom painted shells like that on feebay, it would help us untalented folks sooo much. That is a very tight design too- especially with the matching wheels, nice.....

Thank you!

My lord Daf, an amazing machine, this is by far the nicest race trucks ive EVER seen. How do you like the Trakpowers in there? What turn is that 1950/? How'd you paint those rims, they are purrrdyy! :)

Hey Dafni,
Great work, truly great.

Especially I like your sway bar approach, but why it is on back? I thought front and back or front only, not otherwise.

P.S. Somehow I missed this thread...

I actually thought they were stickers. I have seen stickers made for rims just like those.

Dafni's are different, but here is an example of these stickers I speak of.

Griffin, thank you. I really don't know what others like to drive, but in my buggy I like the sway bar in the front real thin. And on those few truggies I could drive, I felt I liked them better with no sway bar at all in the front.
Rear only works well for me on this truck. Like I said, I wanted to have as mucch on power steering as possible... now the truck turns extremly well.

Thank you Silvester! The Trackpowers are actually not bad at all :) LOL, they rock man. They are light, and have some serious power.
On this 4S truck, I swap between a 1950/6 and a 1950/8. The 8 for backyard fun, geared for 30... the 6 for track time, geared for 35-ish. But this is mainly because when I go to a track, I want to put the 8 in my 5S buggy. And the 6 is just too much for the backyard. Not much track time this summer yet, obviously.
The yellow/red wheels are dyed yellow with an airbrushed red ring, and the fronts are just white with painted blue... sealed it up with some clear lacquer stuff... let's see if they hold up, but I doubt it.

Thank you
DAF

Wicked truck Daf! Love the paintwork....wheels included!

Thank you! Let's hope the paint on the wheels holds up some.

a new revo g maxx build
 

hi people i am building a gmaxx revo basically got a rolling cassis sorted but am looking at what tye of esc and motor to use im gonna be using it to bash about but want lots of power to wheelie to not sure on the batterys either im gonna be shipping them to england from the us
does any one no the best place to get these to
i hope you can help
many thanks
linds

Well, you can get everything in the rc-monster store right here:

I need some setup help: I never had a MT that oversteers on-power. This one simply has too much steering response, I tried everything I could think of. Revo set-up gurus, any advice??

DAF

Interesting Daf;

Have you played with chamfer/caster/toe in? front/rear?

weight ballance?

Things for more traction in corners;

softer anti-rol bar
more toe-in
less possitive camber in front gives you less grip in front
more possitive rear camber gives you less change of traction rolling
Less (smaller angle) caster in front gives you less steering

I tried different diff oils, sway bars and everything.

But thank you anyway

Daf

Okay, today was much better! I think one of my problems were worn down rear tires.
I switched back to a thinner rear sway bar and a lighter oil in the front diff. Now it's pretty good. It was easy to drive today, the track was very loose.

Man your revo is sick!!!!!!!! I love your other one too! It makes me want to go get one right now!

Daf, try putting some of the caster clips in the back. Most run them all up front so the a-arms are all the way back, for more steering, but thats obviously not necessary with your truck.

Thank you! As I posted yesterday, the few changes helped a lot. The biggest thing probably were the new tires. At the moment I have the caster clips at 2-2.

I will go out to a track again today. Again with my buggy and this revo, and as sad as it is, I will have to decide between one of them :frown: I can only afford to keep one racer, sad truth. And focusing on one class will be better for me anyway, as I don't have unlimited time for this hobby.

Stay tuned

Daf

what are those things on the shock bodie

The shock bodies are threaded, allowing you to turn the dial-type thingy, which in turn softens or stiffens the suspension by compressing/de-compressing the spring. It allows for much finer adjustments than just changing to a softer/stiffer spring.

A little off-topic, but I just noticed that Dafni has both of the top viewed threads in the entire forum! This one at 15k+, and the other Revo thread at 16k+! How's it feel to be so popular? :)

i'm talking about the blue things

LOL Feels good :)

The thread of my first BL revo is like 2 1/2 years old... time flies :026: Back then Starscream and me were the only guys with BL revos here.



1bhutch, you're talking about the shock boots maybe? They are Jato parts, but fit the revo shocks too.

Neil, This isn't how I understand it to be. The pre-load nut is only to counter the weight of the vehicle to get the static resting position of the truck at a height you want. Past this, the spring rate determines how soft or stiff you are (not considering progressive geometry the revo has). I bring this up cause I was about to suggest to Daf to go with softer springs in the rear to get more weight transfer to the rear. But he seems to have solved his problem so......cheers:027: <===taking a swig

Cheers :)

Yeah, now it handles great. On the track, it looks just like an 1/8!

But I am facing the dilemma of not being able to afford 2 race RCs at the moment. No matter how I turn it, 2 is pointless for me. I think focusing on one class would make stuff much easier for me. The big problem now is that I like the buggies a lot. I think I will try to sell the revo :012:

Im from bar-celona, I know no-thing..... (faulty towers fans will get the joke)
Once again I display my amazing lack of knowledge. :007:

Dafni- yeah, that sucks, but I think selling the Revo makes more sense. In a few years you will be able to pick up a good rolling chassis for about $50, so you can always build another!

I went truggy and wouldn't have changed a thing. Same with a buggy.......there's so much more room and a flat chassis is ideal for mounting things and getting creative.:dft012:

Okay guys, since I posted about me wanting to sell it, I get a lot of PMs. But please only send me serious offers... there are many unique parts on there, so it has a decent value. I will not trade it for a Rustler, even if it has a Mamba Max and comes with some stick packs.

Thank you
Daf

LOL! i was planning on including 3 stickpacks daf!!!

If you include the beaten up stock body and the worn down stock tires, you can have it. But only if the stick packs are 1700 NiCad :005:

I'll give you my Micro-T and a extra battery! :005:

Nice revo ! That man who get that revo is lucky man :D .

I'll give you £10 & some T-maxx 1.5 tie-rods that are too short for my Gmaxx.
Seriously though, if no-one makes you a good enough offer on here, I would part it out (to an extent) & sell her on feEbay.

Curious how the Revo has been going Dafni...?

I still think that this is the nicest E-Revo I have ever seen in my life.

Just so everyone knows what it lookes like

Me, I have had this page book marked since I saw them posted lol.. Truely the COOLEST e revo EVER! The ultimate truggy (I think it falls under truggy now lol, has everything a truggy does)


LOL, I just had to quote that

Thank you, the truck is doing fine! :)

I should post some RTR pics.

Right now I took off the motor... want to use it in another truck. But other than that, it's ready to rock!

Cheers
Daf

What motor Dafni you use ?

A 1950/6 or 1950/8, depends.
