Well, i have assembled some of my revo and i like the looks of it, for a bit i will be running the stock titans on a evx on 14 cells geared at 14/70.

I will be proceeding to bl , i was thinking of a 8xl running on a 9920, what would be good gearing for this bl seup, i will be using the strobe slipper with the 52t ofna spur gear, i need to know what pinion i should run.

Any questions, comments, or reccomendations are greatly appreciated. Now for some pics:)

If you guys want any close ups of the truck, just ask, I have some traxxas response tires coming to me, they will be mounted on hurricane rims, for a servo i will be using a BMS-660MG Super Strong Standard Size Servo w/ Heat Sink JR/Hitec.

I will be using a ford f-350 extended body from pro-line.

I will be using the hardened steel idler gear from rc-monster and a g-maxx single speed tranny (Once they are in stock, ive already got once reserved;))

Lookin' good!:cool:

nice truck

Thanks, personally i think it will look much better once its done;):p

i think it will look better when its finished too keep us updated on how your truck is coming along.

yeah, i sure will, it will be RTR in 2 weeks, but i will have about 91% finished in 1 week time. Hopefully.

nice truck Sylvester I'm running 18/64 gearing on my G2R

Yeah, but your running 12 cells am i correct?

yeah at this point i am, but when my batteries finally die out i plan to invest in lipo's

Nice looking truck there Sly!

I have a REVO myself, and their a great handling rig right out of the box.

I swapped out my engine for a OS TM18 and it made a huge improvement on power....but nothing like my Brushless G-Maxx!

Good luck with the build, and keep posting the pics as you go.

Hey, that's a nice truck!! I think I will run an 8XL with a 12020 because my truck is heavy . Yours looks light so it will be fast. But you do need some more bling bling lol :L: I wish we could all get togather someday. What a party :cool:

Looks great!, just orderd myself one.

Are they easy to assemble?

Thanks,

Hey guys, thanks for all the compliments, i think my revo is actually gonna be pretty heavy, but we will just have to see, mmdooley no bling bling, yet....;)

E-maxx kid they arent hard to assemble, theres just 1 thing, which isnt hard, near the bulk head, you have to "drill" out a hole so you can screw in 2 of the main screws on the front plate, but i just simply took one of the suppiled screws and screwed it in from the bottom and it went through like butter, you will see what i am talking about once you look at the instruction sheet.

Yeah it would.:cool:

E-maxx-kid Sylvester's right it is not too complicated but more involved than the E-maxx kit. one deviation from the instructions i would suggest:

Put the transmission on the X-braces first, because if you don't the long shafts and the fact that the transmission sits lower than the diff input will make installing the tranny last difficult.

looks cool, that rx looks humungous. I use a piece of lexan and drilled holes for the servo mounts and screwed it in, put velcro on top and put my rx on

Its a stock traxxas rx, it does look big, but it really isnt.

Very Nice Set-Up..

New updated pics, almost RTR!

Beautiful :). But, I must say that the EVX sure does cause some ugliness ;).

i know you plan on going brushless so you might want to what those response tires. are they glued? if not i would duct tape them. promod had those and blew it out first time it was on his truck. nice truck by the way!!

Metalman, i know , the evx WILL be replaced by a warrior;) I glued the responces with CA glue, they arent coming off anytime soon.

I have also blew a couple of them tires out. They are not very thick rubber and don't take speed very well.

Think they will do well in a stock 14 cell application? You guys got me scared:(

they should be fine for a stock setup although in brushless im not so sure.

they are doing well for me on my 10l and 14 cells

This past summer I spent a 2 week RC holiday almost only on Responses. Many long sessions on tracks included. Had no problem, but I wore them out good.

Just don't drive them when the foams are wet. The additional centrifugal force will rip them no problem. Also the rubber is so thin, I can see a single small cut or hole will lead to rubber flapping all over the place.

Alrighty, hope they do good for a custom racetrack:)

They will do fine for most applications. Promod and Coolhand tend to like the extreme end of the power scale. I haven't blown a set of responses yet(though I have seen it happen!). A rip will surely lead to failure, but for a 14 cell setup, they will likley last you quite a while.

I have got some news and pics, i finally ran the g2r, for 3 mins only but it was AWESOME!!! Why only 3 mins? My one battery pack went POOF! pics; http://www.rcpics.net/img/72400

I got her up and running again, im just doing the cycle process with the batteries, everything looks good so far, 1 Q, my esc seems to be getting hot, but i dont think it is over or under geared , im running 14/70 on 14 cells, doesnt that sound about right? more pics coming soon!

I'm currently using 18/66 gearing on 12 cells, for 14 i would suggest 16/66 for starters

Im not sure if i should gear up though, because my speed is already insane! It has good accel and fast top speed. Hows your g2r crazy? Anything u'd like to share?

insane? with titans? you might not want brushless....:027: :027: remember, a brushed motor wont heat up from being undergeared. i think :032:

squee-sometimes a brushed motor does heat up when it is undergeared

sylvester-if this is any help a stock emaxx with titans has an 18t pinion and a 66t spur but i dont know the diffs are in a revo i believe that an emaxx has 13/37 gears in the diff(correct me if im wrong)

i have never been on 14 cells, only on 12, its a big step for me, but BL WILL startle me for sure!
