I thought I would update the progress I have made making my Revo more and more 'race worthy'... and where I have got it at now is nothing short of amazing, performance wise. Everyone at the track comments on how it doesn't 'look' like a Revo when racing, more like a truggy they say. I would have to agree, the weight distribution and center of gravity seems like it is just right for the chassis, and really seems to shine in the handling department, compared to a stock Revo 3.3.

The battery mounts are 1.5" CF angle from SierraComposites.com, the mounting brackets (alum.) are made from 1/2" x 1/8" 6061-T6 strips, a little small, but has held up fine so far after some pretty nasty crashes. The packs actually sit 1/4" lower than the E-revo battery compartments, and are a few mm above the bottom level of the servo guards.

The Rx pack mount is made from some CF I had laying around, which I cut, and glued with some CA glue, sticky Velcro all-around, including main power packs, which take the securing to the next level, really works well.

I was worried about the CF getting quite scratched and damaged from landings on rocks, and scrapping on stuff that commonly occurs at a track.

Enjoy.
