Finally! My own E-Revo! And it even runs...

[JThiessen]

Last night I finally completed my first BL conversion.
I used:
Revo 2.5R Chassis
Emaxx Tranny (G-Maxx single speed conversion),
RRP slipper
Stock Center Shafts (the long ones),
Steel Dogbones from FLM(?)
Fiego 10L Motor
MGM Compro 12012 ESC
UBEC
Gearing right now is 66/15 (seems good so far)
Traxxas 3 ch receiver,
Revo 5 cell rechargable receiver pack
I have no idea what the tires and rims are - the came with the original revo when I bought it.

Using all the other stock chassis conversions done here so far as inspiration, I dremeled myself into oblivion! There are quite a few things that I am going to go back and re-do, but I'm going to run it for a while and see how it functions, how easy maintenance is, etc.
I made my own esc mount from AL plate and AL brazing rod (my first time using that process - jury is still out on how the strength of the welds are). I also made the receiver mount and reciever pack tray from AL plate. The battery holders are .093 Plex, and yes, the two are built differently. Still developing ideas on that (my ultimate goal is to make something with tubing to also provide nerf bar like side bars).
Its been a very educational and fun job. I am one that tends to prefer making things rather than purchasing and bolting together (ie., G2R). Mine is a basher through and through, the only racing it will ever do is against my B'in Law's and nephew. Which brings up a point. I dont think I have my shocks setup correct. If you look at the pics with the body on, see how low it sits? I just rebuilt the shocks, with 50WT oil. I have the springs cranked all the way down, and it still settles down to where the arms are actually sloped down towards the chassis. The springs are golds (red with a gold spot). I used 1 hole pistons in the rear and 2 hole in the front. Any tips on what springs I should get?

Anyway, here are some quick pics I took last night. We are heading out to the ocean beaches for a week tomorrow, so I packing it up along with 2 of my emaxx's and possibly the stampede (2WD can be fun in the sand).
