My Race Revo
 

For those who havent seen it over at traxxas...

Just needed a solid race truck that could take some abuse with little breakage. I needed something with more travel than the truggies, so the revo fits the bill.

did you have to mod your revo to use a emaxx tranny

yeap, machined the chassis for it.

o ok so i can not just get one and put it in

Looks solid. What size/brand spur is that?

AE I think its a 52t. I have it ready to roll now, pletty w/5s so it should run down the nitro guys alright.

Didn't know the AE spurs would fit the 3-screw clutch style. What size pinion will you run?

i am not sure yet i am going to run a 11xL or a 10xL BL motor and a 3 or 4 cell lipo

He werent talkin to you, lol.

Nice work Racebomb, now hurry up with more pics and video, I command you...


... please. :wink:

yah well it came to my inbox as someone replying to my comment that is why i said that.... LOL:lol:

Yea, I test ran it today and it does quite well. I will get some video for ya on Friday, should have a few of em hittin the track then. The pinion is a 15t at the moment, it works well for the local track. Its good for high 30s and 20 minutes of racing, running under 140 degrees. I could gear it to hit in the 60s easily, but its pretty lame running up and down the street with a race truck......

Did you weld to the exising revo chassis or make a new one from scratch? Looks good, that is for sure! Keep us posted.

machined a new side for it and welded it on. Then smoothed out the welds. So far, it feel great...I just gotta hit the track with it now and see how well it flies.

Looking good!

Hey, same threat title as one of my old ones!

Thanks man, saw yours and liked it also (didnt notice the title though, lol).

*bump* Updates?

If you were only ever planning to run the motor on one side (rather than ontop of the tranny), it would look great with the new FLM motor mount, or a custom made one of similar design...

yea, I was going to machine one for it, but I havent had time to do it yet. Mainly because I want to machine a new gear cover for it also. I have some new action shots, so I will get those posted up asap. Maybe if I get a chance I will get some video also.

*bump* Updates? :whistle:

Bomb-proof, didn't you have a custom chassis for a revo with a custom transmission? I think it was a plate top with motor and batteries running somewhat under the chassis. I don't recall the thread it was in, but i was wondering, Did you explore that design any further?

You are as bad as me for promising pics:lol:

Still running the revo?
