Project E-Revo

My 3.3 roller arrived today all set for a bl conversion. I have stripped the nitro gear from it, I will get a black wing for it and may try the new Traxxas mount. I'm still up in the air about which motor\esc I will use. I'll be making the jump to lipo for this bad boy too! 4s 8000 mah is the plan.

I've installed the rc-monster motor mount so I can keep the nitro tranny and lower CoG.

I will post updated pics as the project progresses. I have lunsford hinge pin's for it, and a sheet of 3mm carbon fiber I will make the electronics and battery mounts from.











I'm sure I'll have some questions for you guys and it won't be a fast build. I have to budget this one, so it will take a few months to get it all rolling.

Looks REALLY nice! Why not just dye that wing black? Only cost like $2.

that does look nice.

if your on a budget i would recommend 9xl/mm it works great. i have it on my revo with a 4 cell and omg its nice. like i do see any reason to upgrade any time soon.

also where did you get the cf from. i want some so i can make a little box to protect my lipo in.

Can't wait to see the finished product....That new motor mount is sweet!

Thanks guys. a 9xl would get me running fastest. I have a ubec and MM sitting in a box. I will wait until late Jan to make that decision though. I want to see if this fabled MMM comes to pass.

I got the CF from www.fullforcerc.com

I will be locking it in second.

oh i see. just wondering how would you cut the cf??

I cut some already with my dremel for a couple small pieces for my Rusty. After I mock up the mounts with carboard, i will trace the templates on the cf sheet with sharpie then go to my friends hose. He has a band saw and drill press. I'm going to counter sink the screws on the battery tray If I don't get lazy and get the tekno tray.

Personally, I'm gonna get lazy (and cheap) and get the Tekno. I may to something with CF though. Maybe a battery brace or something....

is tekno selling just the battery trays yet?

Are you going to de-anodize the chassis?

yes, I am. All of the blue aluminum around the truck will be stripped to natural finish.

[squeeforever]

Yes, they are.

I'll be starting tonight! I'm stopping by the grocery store on the way home for some easy off oven cleaner and steel wool. I'm expecting a bit of elbow grease to be needed.
