I have a very fine digi scale. :) I actually have two trannies, one stock 2.5 and a CD/rear brake (which includes FOC by default.) I'll get some weights tonite. IIRC, after I got done with my Emaxx SS tranny on V1, I think I got it down to 180g. I'll find my notes or reweigh it when I pull it out for a little service. The Revo I think will be more, but the brakes do make up some weight, 20g maybe? We'll see.
I have most of my parts now. Its just a mtter of putting everything together. The roller I got was a used nitro, and its dirty and smelly, so I'm taking my time going thru it, getting as much as the oil and grime off, going thru all the bearings, re-oiling, and basically doing a whole tear-down. My V1 was a truck that was bascially a new 2.5. Guy had the motor frag during break-in, got pissed and sold it. Got a barely used truck for 1/2 price :) What a difference in cleanliness. V1 has barely seen nitro, so no dirt sticks, the V2 roller is lightly/mod used w/ nitro and there is sticky oil all over every surface. What a pain. Yuk.
Since I have a Revo to play with, I'm taking my time on this one. I'm actually going to be Chester NY on memorial day, so was hoping to make it to the Barn, but I don't see that happening. :( I could bring my v1, but its very much setup as a basher, and since I've never raced, it would be pretty ugly. I don't even have good racing tires. Is there a RCM bash this year? I'd really like to make it to there. Hopefully either the Tekin MT or MMM will be out by then as well.
