Helly

NICe!!!

Savage 5T wheels?

Nice job Helly thats sweet! That drive shaft is huge! Is it a tail boom off of a heli or something else?

Looks good congrats ! :yipi:

The rear center driveshaft is huge ! Did you make it yourself ?
You won't use a skid to protect it ?

oh too cool...

Drive shaft looks like a piece of al tube pressed over the stock revo shafts.

They look like 5B rims, but that also looks like traxxas 17mm hubs - 5B has a 23mm hub I believe.

Traxxas hubs have the spline, and 5b's use a 24mm hub, either way its something custom:lol:

Ah - they do have the spline on them dont they. Yeah, that 23 was supposed to be 24.....

Nice job. I gotta post some pics of my Revo-5b. Made some changes, started on the cage since it was last seen.

I'm wondering about the 24mm hexes as well. More info please?

Just one small note:-

B = buggy
T = truggy

Looks good though, rather huge :mdr:

I see no spines on the hubs:neutral:

Thanks all for your interest!

To suicideneil: you right, it's a 5T

Yes it's a homemade driveshaft with juste a aluminium tube between classic revo shaft and two screw to hold them...

for the hub, i forget to add this pic: (it's just 23mm hub with around 0.4mm plate to add the extra 1mm!

I meant on the traxxas version - not these...:no:

It seems to work very well!!! lool

Neu 1515 2D with 7s2p A123 batterys... tone of power!!
temp motor: ~120-140°
temp mamba: don't really know but the fan never turn!

Ok we are in winter, but it seems really performant!

I have juste some probleme with the front shock oil... front shock really have hard time... (8kg for the complete beast)

Nicely done

Did you made a vid? :)

Looks awesome!

sorry, no vid...

i can't for the moment!

Im not suprised the shocks have a hard time- they are tiny compared to the rest of the truck :lol:

Looks great though, and good temps- that was 120-140*F, not *C right?

1st time I have seen this done, but I have thought for a while that it would work fine. Just finding stock that is the correct thickness, looks like brass shim stock you are using?

I don't even think the 0.4mm shims are essential, I have been running a Revo with 23mm hex adapters and HPI Baja front wheels all round geared for 35-40mph and it's been fine. No sign of excess wear on the hubs or rims, and any extra "slop" is negligable.

Of course it's in °F!!! it's not a nitro engine lol!

It's! yes

the 0.4 shims are maybe not essantial but it's very very easy to do... 10min of work and u ll nerver had problems...


Anyone know how to protect electric part? i mean some 1/5 car have protection against dirt like this one:

Any good idea?

just get some styrene stock and form your own,its easy to do and cheap.--josh

Nice to see some ideas like i had.

What shock oil and shock holes (erevo stock?) you used?
Do you use this springs because of me? (i do not know how to write it :D)

Is the frontbumper fixed very strong?
Do you noticed any work of the sway bar against this stiff springs?

Very nice to have somebody with same "vehicle" :)
