My Revo 5T Baja 1:5 - sTi-Rev5T brushless alias E-Slayer 4x4 5T
 

Hello boys and girls,

you want it! It try to write good english. I hope you can understand me.
You said it in the homemade baja thread, so I show you my project - not finished.

I love the Baja 5T Body since the Baja 5T News. But I drove the Body only in my dreams (as brushless edition ) Since march i knew about the Savage 5T. The car which is not available in USA, so there are no items at Ebay.com. So I had to buy the first used modell at germanys ebay.

Of course I had to buy unique dogbones, the 5T Body and some wheels/tires for my project. But I didn't know about the possibility of a Revo 5T Baja.
There are no spare parts available too...

The Savage 5T was plan B but now I sold the Savage 5T remains ... The Revo 5T Baja looks good to me ^^

Here the story. I hope the picture URLS are correct. All pics here, my other project will follow soon onliner.

First look to the project

Start to begin the build of an stretchchassis. It is a U-profil 30x80x30x3 mm Al6060 like the Revo Platinum Chassis.

Savage 5T vs my Revo 5T Baja

http://lh5.ggpht.com/_625IY0TZOeA/Su..._Revo%205T.jpg
Test Setup from my Movie, First Outdoor test. a lehner 1920/19 (170g). With Body the car was 5.4kg heavy. And there was no oil in the shocks ^^

http://lh4.ggpht.com/_625IY0TZOeA/Su...wichtstest.jpg
This was the test of the new springs 19lb Hot Racing. More stiffer than the Traxxas blue/lila one. The car was 8kg heavy only for the test.

Not finished yet!
Next time, I need a motor. I will buy a lehner LMT2240/13 Highamp (450g) with 5mm shaft. With 6S Lipo and the MMMv3 I will try it. And I need some more 23mm hex adapter. One of four was damaged since shipping to me ... I put 0.5mm "PVC" around it to geht direct fit 24mm hex for the Revo axles. Nice one so I can sell the HPI Savage 24mm hexs $.$ (; and use Baja wheels on my rig. :D

Stay tuned

Nice work dude, I can see Traxxas making something like this to compete with HPI- just needs the slash/ slayer front and rear bumpers and you'd think it was a production truck.. until you take the shell off... :yes:

cool project

WOW! i want one :) this is what i was planning on doing but i gots no moneys :(

I love mutts.

Simple and effective, great job:yes:

I think your truck so far is winning the longest name contest for a project truck lol, cool project though.

google extended the search field to encourage people to specify the search term.
The project name is sTi-Rev5T, but not everybody know the content. So I often use more words to descripe it better for search&find too. No angry about meaningless headline, or?

By the way, I do not know the real name. If you scale up a Slayer (length AND width) you can get this car - so it is a Slayer or? (Short Course class) - But technical it is only a stretched Revo (scaling length only). (No Monster Class anymore - tires under body).

I think it is difficult and this way the best way to be found(able?).

If somebody read the headline, you know the content, right? (If You somebody from this hobby ^^)

just my 2 cent or so ^^

Thanks
titan

Ah I understand now, its name is like a E-bay listing!

Since you have the space, I'd put some better shocks on this beast. The revo shocks are just barely good enough for a stock length/weight Revo, you are going pound the bejesus out of them.

Your arms, hinge pins and bulkheads would be the next things to need upgrading - flextek and FLM???

The length of the center drive shaft(s) might also be something to watch. If you start breaking/bending them, you might want to put in a carrier bearing.

Forgot to say it - nice work! But I would've kept the Savage!

Thanks. This week my motor should arrive to me :D

A drive shaft carrier, i hope it won't start bending. In the Savage 5T is no carrier too - but it is only a 5.9ccm nitro motor. So I have really to watch it.

I hope the Revo axles can handle it too - or I upgrade to summit axles. Until now, there are no alu parts in my mind. We will see :)

Any News Titan of your "Revo 5t"?

any strength test of the revo chassis? are revo's diff as strong as savage 5t'sone?

I'm trying, me too, to convert a Revo to Revo 5t with the difference that i use two plastic revo's chassis!
I ll waybe post some pics if someone is interested!

Guillaume (sorry for my bad english^^)

Feel free to post Your Revo 5T pics :)

There are two more heavyer Diffs available than stock Savage 5T diffs ... (flux and new modul 1.5 or 2.0 Diffs from HPI). I like the E-Revo diffs with the carriers in it. No tests of the chassis. How could I test it?
I am waiting for motor and new 23mm hexs. First one are "factory-damaged".

greets to france :)

Titan

How u could test it? :sarcastic:

Just with a hard bash session or with a hard jump!! :mdr::lol:

How have you uptade your 23mm hex? any 0.5mm pvc plate will work?
what ll be your next setup?
I will use my old Neu 1515 with 7s2p A123 and a MMM, i hope it will work!

greets to deutschland^^,

Guillaume
