Like it squee, nice job
those wheels really set it off, it needs a couple more screws in the tranny though. :010:

squeeforever 04.30.2006 02:44 AM

Yea, I forgot to put those on before I took the pictures....and before I ran it :013: Thanks! I like it to, but I think I like the g2r's better.

Serum 04.30.2006 02:50 AM

You did a nice job Squee.

Looks good!

Big Daddy 04.30.2006 06:13 AM

sweet man, it looks really good. Good job.

coolhandcountry 04.30.2006 09:05 AM

I like the purple and yellow. It looks pretty good.

squeeforever 04.30.2006 11:24 AM

Thanks yall!

Sylvester 04.30.2006 12:06 PM

Very nice squee! I too, prefer the g2r:)

squeeforever 04.30.2006 12:18 PM

I honestly think it wont handle to much better than it does now. The cg is REALLY low like it is and I think that it would be a better basher however i dont really bash that hard so I think the G2R will suffice. Only thing is I will loose my oneway up front until I put a center diff in it. Is there any way to use a slider up front? i have heard that there is something that they hit or something and thats the reason for the dog bones.

Sneeck 04.30.2006 12:21 PM

Very nice truck Squee, I like the arm's.

Sylvester 04.30.2006 06:23 PM

You cant use the slider because it rubs against the bulkhead area, why do you want to put a slider up there?

crazyjr 04.30.2006 07:55 PM

Mine turns better than a nitro revo without a one way, if you tried a G2R you'll throw away the stock chassis. The batteries are flatter and the tranny sits lower, giviong you even lower C.O.G. and don't worry baout the lowered chassis, I haven't found anything I couldn't get over

squeeforever 04.30.2006 09:32 PM

Im not really worried about the the ground clearance or anything like that. I just would like to run a oneway up front for a better handling truck. With rear brakes only it is so much better in the turns and it wont flip when you brake as well as you can slide the rear end around easier for faster turns. Either way, an electric revo will out handle a nitro revo...I was just saying though, the G2R cant make it handle much better than it is now. Mostly because of a pretty low cg and the oneway.

coolhandcountry 04.30.2006 09:48 PM

I guess have to get you one and found out for us squee. Then you can be a compare man for the two. Ask dafni about it to. He has both.

stampy 05.04.2006 11:48 PM

you gunna make us a vid squee:017:

squeeforever 05.05.2006 08:12 AM

I'll try, although it will only be with a digital camera.

JThiessen 09.14.2006 03:15 PM

Hey Squee, if you spent less time answering our inane questions, you'd have more time to post some updated pictures!!!

nbcaznmaster 09.14.2006 04:06 PM

i wished my e-revo would loook like taht

Good point :p. I will try to get some soon. No promises though, since my BPP LSP (:043:) is my main concern.

BlackedOutREVO 09.16.2006 12:40 AM

that is soooooo sick squee, and how did u make the drive shafts not rub?

squeeforever 09.16.2006 12:41 AM

Thanks! I had to cut the hump at the back about 3/4". Worth it since its cheap and they are stronger than the Maxx ones...

aqwut 09.16.2006 12:40 PM

Yes.. a video would be very cool.... and again, very nice truck..

I did the same thing on mine. But I wish I'd have done the single speed conversion first - that likely would have allowed me to move the tranny forward a half inch or so and wouldnt have required as much grinding as I ended up doing (I think I had to take mine back about an inch).

I will eventually be able to get a video, but right now, all the electronics are on the BPP LSP. I should be able to get the LiPo's in about 2 weeks when they get back in stock...I will be able to get a video of the BPP LSP soon, hopefully.

aqwut 09.17.2006 09:46 AM

Awesome dude... I'm gonna get a revo and convert it too.... Once I see ur vid.. :)

Serum 10.03.2006 01:30 PM

Get that revo aqwut, it's an incredible piece of engineering.

Procharged5.0 10.03.2006 04:30 PM

My thoughts exactly! I may convert my Revo3.3 eventually.....we'll see.

Serum 10.03.2006 04:40 PM

You'll love it.!

The rockers, they have got this cool thing. The part that holds the pivotball, it's moon shaped, so they center the ball, so the screw falls in place perfectly..

the servo-saver, the turnbuckles can be removed from the front of the truck.. very easy if one brakes. Arh, i just love that truck. Seriously thinking about ditching another savage..

aqwut 10.03.2006 08:01 PM

that revo is an awesome design... but how tough is it..?..

squeeforever 10.03.2006 10:14 PM

Tuff as hell!

crazyjr 10.03.2006 10:53 PM

I've only broke one arm each on my G2R and 3.3

Serum 10.04.2006 01:04 AM

Not my choice of words, but other than that, it's a big Amen..

squeeforever 10.23.2006 11:31 PM

Well, I have desided to start Evo V3.0...I already started but need a tranny to do anymore. I think I'ma go with a 5S or 6S setup, but maybe 4S for weight...I dunno about that yet...But...It's gonna have manuel brakes with a center diff, etc. I actually haven't run V2.0 much, since battery delimas and such, as well as school, but those problems are over with. It's actually gonna be similar to BrianG's BL Revo but slightly different...

BrianG 10.23.2006 11:48 PM

Cool! You really should start a new thread for 3.0 though...

Since you are going with manual brakes, are you going to keep the two-speed? It'll be interesting to see how you attack this one. So far, I've only seen two other people use the stock tranny; Starscream and b0gh0s (forgive me if I forgot someone).

If there was one thing I'd change on mine it's the motormount. I'd want a better one with some type of rear support. Other than that, I really like the CG since everything sits fairly low. And I assume you won't be using NiMHs.

Good luck and don't forget to take pictures along the way!

JThiessen 10.24.2006 11:06 AM

Squee, if you need a tranny, lets work out a trade of some sorts (I've got the one out of my Revo). Pm me if you're interested.
