My RCmonster Revo build
 

Hi guys

Just want to show you a few pics of my newest build. It started out as a Revo 3,3 but now it is changed with the RC-monster motormount, RPM arms, Tekin RX8/2000 kv. combo on 5s lipo and Proline BigJoe on Axial oversize, and a few other upgrades.

It is meant to be a monster basher, and more upgrades will come.

Me personally have always liked the way the big joes look.
Looks like could be a fun basher.
Do you still have the stock diffs?

Yes
 

I still have the stock diffs. Any suggestion on some better ones?

Do the Lst diff mod. Stock diffs won´t last a week on 5s with those tires, neither will the driveshafts. You should take a look at Mistercrash Thread.

You could either use summit shafts or modify Lst cvd´s to fit. I would re install the rollbar and reroute the wiring from the spurgear. I would also mount the esc on the rear shockmount instead so it sits lower.

Nice build! Good looking!

Which shafts will fail first center or wheel?

wheel. You glued two of the tires wrong! :lol:

And the motor is WAY crooked! Good lookin ride though.

Only seems like one to me. :rofl::na:

Haha oh crap, I know the feeling of gluing every tire real nice and than " oh crap".

The wheel axels will give in first.

Let´s bet, If you drive it like a bash truck, I´m giving the stock shafts six minutes on 5s:party:

I think you will be okay with summitshafts:yes:. They are like 50bucks for a complete set on ebay:whip:

I got the wheels/tires in a trade, and the guy I got them from actually had the place he bought them glue then for him, suckers ;o)

They work ok though.

Regarding driveshafts, I think I will get some Traxxas cvd's for the truck. They work ok on my G4.

could always run them until they go out.

I definately will.

I saw the motor issue, right after taking the pictures, so it is corrected.

The problems I have had with my revo really havent stopped. Axles I can say best rc off of ebay are junk I blew through those in about 5 minutes are at least one of them. The hop-ups from traxxas need longer cups if your going to run them on your e Revo, wait nevermind yours isn't a e Revo. I know if your run the traxxas axles on the e revo you have to get the longer cups because they will pop out like crazy. Honestly after going threw a ton of options and throwing more money at axles that I should have I ended up with MIP. These cvds kick ass and they are a full cvd with lots of travel. The centers on my E Revo lasted a long time I just blew on out and I am looking to see what I am going to do next with it. The MIP axles need to be shimmed on the hub to tighten them up but are the best options without a ton of mods. The diffs are junk I am going to switch over to lst diffs because they are just a lot stronger. After being on here for awhile everyone has really told the truth you fix one thing and it travels up your drive train to the next week point. I started with axles fixed that problem and now it is the diffs. I also had some issues with the diff but I switched to a RRB gen 3 and it solved those problems. I am not sure how the slipped works on the nitro but I know if you set it a little lose it will save you axles diffs and a ton of other issues. Hope this info helps.

You could run 300,000 wt fluid in a revo center diff, should take some stress off
