Posted these on rctech too, btw Mike have I told you how much I love your conversion kit;)

I'm going to abandon my thread about my build and just post here. I finally got my conversion kit back from my anodizer and it looks great. I got it black hard coated .004" so the finish will hold up. I'm running a Tekin RX8 with a truggy 2250kv motor on 4s. I also extended the ESC switch wires so I can use the stock switch on the radio box.

I see most people are going the SC route but I'm thinking a buggy is more for me. I also have some Al braces drawn up in Solidworks. Now I just need the time to machine them. Here are some pics so far.

Looks good,cant wait to see the custom bracing.Mike could probrably offer the black finish as an option if the time is there.

That's very possible. We send out around 300,000 parts a year to our anodizer so I figured a few parts for myself wouldn't hurt. Now I have to figure out what to do with our laser engraver. I'm thinking a tiny RCM logo on the diff brace.

So I picked one of these up over the weekend in a trade. Quite the fun looking little bastard. It isn't too small, yet it isn't too big.

Besides the usual TLC of getting all of the nitro crap off the chassis and stripping it of it's unneeded counterparts, I was thinking this would be quite the basher.

So up next is a few necessities, a new a-arm and shock cap that need replacing. Then I will go with the RCM conversion kit for sure to get this thing headed in the right direction.

I have yet to decide on the power I want to run in this guy. It seems light enough for a Castle 2650 on 3s, but I see most here have went with more. Maybe a Hobbywing 150a and a castle 2200 on 4s?

The body was also pretty tattered, is there a replacement out there, I am thinking the Rustler shells may be a viable transplant, or something for the Jato.

Anyways I am excited to finish this guy. I never took to smaller things that well, but this guy is just about the right size, and looks to be a key performer in terms of handling and airtime. Last small guy was the mini-revo and I was not impressed with its handing or durability, unless heavily modified.

This guy looks like he may become my take everywhere with me RC.

Such great popularity all of a few weeks ago, now nothing?

BrianG · 07.23.2010, 07:46 PM

Probably because it was new then, now it's "old hat".

I still use mine quite a bit. Actually, I really only use the Ten-T for bashing around, and the XT8 to pull my kid around the neighborhood. I'm thinking of selling a bunch of my other vehicles as a result.

reno911 · 07.23.2010, 07:50 PM

Well I guess that is part of the hobby...

Like drifting!

reno911 · 07.24.2010, 02:34 PM

Well I just put an order in for Mikes kit! I got the replacements I needed the other day. So all I will be needing now is a power system, and I am off to try and break it...

bryan · 07.24.2010, 11:36 PM

I broke a shock cap today. What aluminum caps work?

reno911 · 07.25.2010, 03:12 PM

I have bought from these guys before, might be able to find something that is close. Probably wont be the same diameter though...

Thanks Mike, great kit. Looks and performs wonderfully.

Got to love Revo pushrods, they have been finding their way into many of my vehicles.

I even managed to get the telemetry to work, had to add one hole to the chassis however.

Pretty fun little guy. Haven't got it to the track yet, and it still needs some suspension tuning, but it makes one fun little basher.

reno911 · 09.12.2010, 03:22 PM

I have been looking into getting some tires/wheels for racing and so far I have come across this combo. Question is will they work?

Did some rough estimation on the dims I figured they are the same size and made the purchase.

I need some recommendations on diff set up, I tore down the diffs last night to redo them for this Wednesday. The track is indoors, very tight, hard packed dirt, that gets a bit loomy after a while.

I was thinking 7 in the front maybe 10 and 3ish in the rear, with 100 in the mid.
