Slayer to E-Revo conversion - Part 3 - 10.13.2008, 06:36 PM

Ok, on the fine tuning, I wanted more steering throw. The 300oz servo has plenty of torque and speed but the stock Revo needs to be modded for more throw. The Slayer steering parts are actually the same as the PE and have areas cut out for more throw. So I moved to the pivot balls/carriers. I ground them down about .5mm to get more clearence = more throw. I moved all the spacers on the front hinge pins to the front to get max caster angle. I added Ofna 17mm hubs and Mugen wheels/Proline CF tires. I added a close ratio gear set, Traxxas CD and a custom 2nd gear locker (1st gear and internal clutch have been removed). GTR shocks with the variable dampening pistons. I finished it off with a Proline Harddrive body and Traxxas Carbon wing. I am not really a paint guy so please excuse the simple paint job.


Pivot balls modded for more steering throw.


Aluminum carriers prevent the balls from popping out.


I attached a link between the rear skid and the wing mount to add some support to the wing mount.
