My next project begins...
 

So I started another project. Bought an erevo chassis, skids, center driveshafts, and tranny last night off fleabay. Not a bad price, paid less than 100 bucks for all of it shipped. I paln to take the front and rear ends off the never run revo that I built. So it wil have the rcm hybrid diff cases with 1/8 buggy gears. Plan to use a 1515 1.5d on 4s lipo with a MMM. I may use a MM as I only have one MMM and would like to use it on 6s in the hyper st...

I also picked up another tranny to experiment with. Trying to make a 1/8 center diff fit in there. Should be interesting, and I will start a sepereate thread about that.

I am waiting on the parts, and should have everything together pretty quickly after they show up.

Now back to my other projects, like the 4 pedes and the vxl rustler and bandit... Shelving the 4-tec for the moment, do not feel like making a motor mount...

You have ADD something bad linc!

Just a few days ago you were dispensing with some of your revo's.

Nice!

what about that 8ight you just bought too?

Like you need another project linc...:whistle: It sounds like a pretty cool build. Keep us in the loop.

A beasty Erevo would be a simpler project to complete, and give you somethig to play with whilst working on the million other projects. I like...

Sounds good. I'd love to have so many projects, but I don't have the money.

You win, I will send you a cookie...

Easy to finish projects are on top of my list. Plus I can then sell off the tekno conversion kit that I have, and put the stuff from the tekno into the 8ight buggy...

I have plans...

I may even sell the entire tekno revo as a roller. Not sure if I still want to build a slayer. I almost have enough parts left over to build yet another revo...

I will have some pics up soon, had to take the rc room apart a bit. The a/c unit for my work office is in the room, and is covered with a large "box" that I use as a shelf/worktable. The fan motor smoked, and i had to move everything to replacve it. So I need to reorganize it all and get back to work on r/cs!!! I will pull a late evening tomorrow and see what I can get done!!!

No cookie for your favourite BL_RV0? :love:

I'll send you a box that had cookies in it... Will that do?:tongue:

Only if they're swiss miss.

Looks as if you have your hands tied right now linc. I still cant beleive you get all this past your wife.

She really does not care... I get packages everyday, and ship others out everyday. I am funding my hobby almost completely by selling stuff...

I do the same exact thing... Buy something for cheaper, get your use from it and sell it for more. Does your wife ever check how much you spend on this hobby?:lol:

who doesnt?:whistle:

Oh really? Does that 'stuff' happen to be sold to single women and come with a turkey baster?...:oh:

I would be cool if that "stuff" was remote control. No need for any "practice"...

Picture Time!
 

Got the chassis and other parts today. Hope to have the truck rolling soon!!!

nice pics but the HP in the background made me sick.

lol

im runing a hopped up compaq from 1999 :D
w/ the original pentium 4:gasp:

This full composite/plastic chassis must have been a pain to design and build for traxxas. At last that prove that using platic bathtub as chassis work on larger scale too

Lookin good!

Put it together, and it seems very sturdy. I am still waiting on the erevo specific motor mount, and need to put in a servo. I also need to make a decent mount to attach the MMM to the chassis.

Power system will be a 1515 1.5d with the MMM on 4s lipo. Going to use 2 trakpower packs in series. I will have to mod the chassis to get the power wires out of the battery trays. Otherwise it looks good.

Will have some pics in the morning.

nice linc, isnt a 1515 a little overkill? but then agian everyone likes overkill :lol:

Yeah, but I intend to gear this truck for 45mph or more...

e-revo chassis lookin good linc, ben your comps better than my laptop, runnin xp pro hacked with vista theme with a pentium 2 and 128 mb ram :mdr:

Edit: srry but my 100th post :yipi::yipi:

go for 60, why not


and trev your not supposed to tell people your running pirated software.. im guilty though...:whistle:

Tiny xp rev09 sp3

Nice :yes:

Having never seen a E Revo in real life the pic of the bare chassis looks great , what a design .

linc when you finish this you can send it my way. i will use it i promise.

So I got it running. I can safely say that the 1515 1.5d is a great 4s motor. I have run it a few times, and motor temps rarely go over 140f. I need some free time to get a good run and see how it does. Currently running 17/50 gearing, and I feel like it could be geared higher. Pics tomorrow or Sunday...

no build pics? come on james, ur slackin lol

Yeah, camera is at work, and I am sick of being there. I should be able to get some pics tomorrow...

Tick tock, tick tock.... We're waiting linc.

Hold your breath....

I don't think I can until tomorrow. :oops:

*reading lincs mind*

try it, im sure you will make it

:happy: 1 min and 13 seconds is all I can do.

what happens about 1 min 14 sec?

I start breathing again.

Is this thing done yet ?? I need to bring you the Jammin. :yes:
