My e-revo brushless edition build

[mistercrash]

It doesn't look as sweet as a Gorilla chassis but it does look good. I will be doing some things to it to bring the sweetness level up a bit.

On a side note, I received my Turnigy 4500mAh 2S2P 30C LiFePo4 Pack and tried them in my ERBE. I charged them up at 3C, they were balanced and ran really well. A lot less top speed of course but still very strong batteries that I ran with no LVC on the MMM. Really cool to not have to worry about your batteries, charge 'em up, run them 'till the truck looses power, recharge and repeat. These will be absolutely perfect for my son's ''GERBE''. I ordered another pair of these. The price just can't be beat.

Sweet man!! Please report runtimes!

(1) Are you telling me that this is the way the chassis comes machined?
(2) Are you telling me that this is the way the counter-sunk holes come?



If so, wow! I mean, Dan is an awesome guy, and usually has great products, but if this is the way this chassis comes, there is no way I would buy it.

Just my thoughts on this.

The chassis did not come machined like that. Talking about what's circled in blue. I enlarged the hole because my big LST2 diff needed some clearance. The cuts of the chassis plates are very well done. What you circled in red is just some quick hacking on my part with a file.

What is circled in red is another hack job on my part. I used a cordless drill to counter sink that hole which is not the best way of doing it. The bad counter sinks I mentioned before are on the lower chassis plate, Dan needs a new counter sink bit. The one he used on my chassis is dull. Or maybe he did the same thing I did and used a cordless drill
It's disappointing to pay that price and have ugly counter sinks on the chassis. But they will be hidden underneath the screw heads. So I don't think I will lie awake at night thinking about the ugly counter sinks of my chassis underneath the screw heads.

Oh, wow.....hmm.... not very good machining work there.......makes me not want to buy one, especially for the price...... I may just pass....unless another option becomes available

Great review! Much better than the work Jetlag does!

The truck overall looks great with the chassis! Improvement over stock for sure!

A 1518 would never fit would it? Unless you made a custom motor plate that mounted the motor higher.

Chad its good to see you!!

I hope you don't have to wait too long. While you wait I'll be enjoying this Kershaw one

I love my Vantage chassis, RC-Monster motor-mount, and custom carbon-fiber battery tray (and other parts)!

Not much to report, just that I replaced the stock screws that came with my Kershaw chassis. There are six screws that hold the top chassis plate, the two chassis towers and the bottom chassis plate together. The stock screws are not the best and they have a phillips drive which I didn't like. And they were too short as they only caught the lock nut by a few threads, not even reaching the nylon insert of the lock nut. I needed flathead screws that are 55 mm long with a hex drive. I didn't find any. The only ones I found were 70 mm long so I just made more threads on them and cut them to the right length.
On the left is the stock screw (the tip is stripped already)
In the middle is the 70 mm screw
On the right is the modified screw with new threads and cut to 55 mm long.



Now I can really put some torque on those screws and have the chassis parts sandwiched tightly against each other.

DIDDO here.....I hope they come out with one

What are you talking about? Gmaxx has an electric Revo.

Anything GorillaMax does is either for the TMaxx or the Slash. They don't do the Revo thing anymore.

It was too short for my liking anyway. It was a fine piece tho.
