V-Twin Velinions in Revo....build from scratch

Finaly got 80% of my parts and started the build...I was going to start with a rtr that I bought but we started using the nitro at rhe track so I decided to build this project from scratch

I'm going to be using two vxl systems with two heat sinks with double fans on the motors and fans on the esc's also two maxamps 8000mah 3s lipos...anyone got a sugesstion on what center drivelines will work?

Nice! Building my Revo from scratch was my favorite part!

Looks great so far!! My only recommendation is to make some sort of cover to block the holes/cut out underneath the spur gear. It seems that rocks can bounce up into it pretty easily. But other than that, awesome work!!

Checking the fit of the 8000 lipo and 8 cell nihm......the wheelie bar hooked up nice and tight .....also checking placement of esc's

still waiting for some stering parts,servo and the body (desert rat)

also if you read this mike...I need front and rear center driveshaft .....do you think I can find something that will fit or will I have to have it custom made

p.s. I sent you an email about the drive shafts

Electronis are getting situated...still waiting for servos, and steering parts.....will post vids,speed and temps soon

Sweeeet! It looks like it was meant to be that way!

I like it, good job. I would find a way to make sure the front esc wires do not get entangled in the spur.... :)

Oh man. Today my ESC's receiver cable got caught in the spur and I ended up having to splice my first set of wires ever! It's no fun. :(

Sorry first I've seen this but drive shafts you just use 2 rear normal 3.3 driveshafts if IIRC.

What do each of the batteries power? If one esc is on lipo and the other NIMH I think you will get a bit of a mess...

[neweuser]

I think he is just getting the fitting down which is why you see two types of batts.
