Finally finished my HVR (HV-Maxx Powered CF G2R) - Lots of pics too.

[BP-Revo]

Its finally done. 6 months of waiting and collecting parts, a large sum of money later (don’t ask lol), and one exciting build and its finally finished. Its not perfect though. It needs:

Stiffer springs and heavier shock oil
Fans to cool the motor
Send in Telemetry to Horizon for replacement (faulty)
Going to get those new Red wheelie bar wheels with the rubber tires to put on my wing for a wheelie bar since they match my other red parts and I sort of need it lol (yes, it does still wheelie - I know...).

Other than that, its finished, and finished enough for pictures (and a good bit too, including a few progress pictures). Clicking on the pictures will bring you to much larger ones of exceptional resolution.

I’ve been plagued by problem after problem on this build. My LHS never had a single part I needed (amazing isn’t it?) So I had to get just about everything off eBay or Tower. I probably paid an extra 50 bucks in shipping because of that. I also had the little incident of me getting a faulty hurricane rim, as you can see here:



However, Traxxas was excellent about that (as always) and I sent it in and got a pair in return. So, now I have an extra. I dyed the rims black (after removing the chrome) along with my rockers, wing, rubber seals throughout the truck, and some other things. The rims turned out pretty good, but I kind of slopped the glue job. lol



I also made some other parts black. I got my Aluminum Hex Hubs, Robinson Slipper Plate, and a few other parts anodized black. I made my shocks black with black shock socks. You can see in the following few pictures:







After that, I slowly got things done while I waited for my UE Steel Idlers, as you can see in the following pics:


Here’s a closeup of the front end before I got the dyed any parts or got the parts anodized.


Here’s an overview of the tranny and front and rear ends before anodizing or dying.


Here’s the electronics plate with my Spektrum Pro DSM Receiver, Telemetry module, Hitec 5955TG Steering Servo, and Spektrum Voltage Protector (basically a capacitor - it improves servo response).

Here are the Spektrum Telemetry Display and Pro DSM Transmitter Module:
