My e-revo brushless edition build

[mistercrash]

Update on the LST diff modification. They are awsome, I disassembled the truck for some end of season maintenance and the diffs have no sign of leakage and run smooth as silk so I just cleaned the outside and put them back in the bulkheads. That's a whole spring/summer of racing and bashing on 4S with a few times having fun on 6S so they are very durable. An original idea from Lincpimp and I thank you for it.

I can't remember if I mentioned how I install them in the bulkheads now, I shave down some material on the aluminum cases of the diffs so that leaves the bulkheads intact except for a small portion that has to be Dremeled to accommodate for the front of the diffs where the two screws are. Here's a few pics, I hope they are self explanatory. This way of doing it coupled with the diff blocks really holds up to some serious abuse.

Crash,

Great write up so far. I was actually in the middle of a nitro-revo to E conversion and after reading all this decided I wanted to go full E-Revo BL instead (with a Tekin setup). So thanks for that. Love the battery door mod, I'll definitely be doing that to my doors for ease of use. Have you had any issues with losing body clips on the battery doors while on track? That'd be my only concern.

Also, any chance you might offer the tower spacer to keep the shocks from rubbing or the diff blocks for the LST? I unfortunately don't have the parts making facilities I used to. Either way, great truck and I hope mine will be as nice and consistent once it's done.

Sorry but I really have no time to make parts for people. Lately I don't even have time to go do stuff in my garage. I never lost a body clip on my battery doors and they stay closed no matter what now.

that threaded inserts mod is strong!!
because i run a nitro chassis it cracked!!
right at where the bulkheads join the chassis. under normal circumstances the bulkhead would have pulled out
got a new chassis for $5 though

6S is fun! To fast for racing but so much fun once in a while. But I think my Badlands are gone, I don't get much grip from them anymore



I am trying new mud flaps I made from battery shrink Battery shrink is tough, somewhat rigid and flexible and they are the thinnest, lightest mud flaps I have ever done. They seem to hold up very well, even with the front wheels flinging rocks on them on 6S.

cant race on 6s, grumble mumble...
it's the ONLY way to race lol.
we are all mad at our club and every single one of us runs 6s
nice job on the baddies :P
also, we think we have found a solution to the plastic rod ends getting their thread ripped out! (even though the last 2 times it happened to me was when the thread itself snapped off in the rod end )

we are going to use "ear crimps". someone at the club used them and we just got some to try, will show you guys later.

I wish your track was closer to me

Sounds like something body piercing fanatics would use. Please post some pics.

Based on your mods.

I took 1 step futher and did a machined version of the LST-revo diff mod... Removing the exact amount of material to fit and un modified Bulkhead (but the bolt part)

Here´s and album of it.



I hope you like it!

That is one tight fit. Nice work on that molak.

Molak,

Amazing work! My xxl diffs look nothing like those! I have a cpl extra cases...how much would you charge to machine them like you did??

Dude where did you get those brass inserts that you have used in the bulkhead???? I have a new bulkhead and found that some of the holes are striped right off the bat. I would really like to find those and put them in my truck... Thank you for your time...
