My BL Revo project

[BrianG]

OK, just about ready to pick up all the parts I'll need to finish this project. This following is what I'm planning:

- BK Warrior 12020 ESC
- BK Wanderer 7xl (not in stock :012:)
- XL motor heatsink
- 3A UBEC
- 51T Mod1 Spur
- 15T Mod1 Pinion. What bore will I need since the Wanderer doesn't list the shaft size?
- Strobe Slipper Kit (Will still need some T/EMaxx parts to complete this)
- "Dafni-style" center dogbone center shafts. 83 and 88 mm. Will have to order these special from Mike.
- 5.5mm motor plugs (also out of stock).

Can anyone think of anything else I'm missing? Any special screws or some such? Some basic things I can pick up at my LHS, but I'd like to get as much from Mike as possible on one order.

Hopefully Mike will get the parts that are currently out of stock soon (it's too bad you can't add out-of-stock items to the cart to pre-order). I'm going on a trip during the first week or so in March and was hoping to have this completed to take with me. My brother wants to race and all he has is a Tyco Hummer. Man, is he in for a surprise. :D

Yeah, I can imagine the face of your brother :dft002: LOL

Your list sounds good. You could also order from mike by sending him an email, and he will add the missing things when they are in stock again.

I can't think of anything else (you have a radio, right? LOL) I always like to keep spare rodends, spurs and wheel hexs. And make sure to shoot some pics when it's all done!

My fingers are crossed for your motor, mate!:dft012:

OK, I'll email him. Tax returns should be in late next week or early on the week after. Actually I planned on getting an extra spur anyway. I already have some rod ends (are you talking about shocks?) and hexes.

I edited my post above with something else I thought of; 5.5mm motor plugs. I would really hate to get everything in only to realize I forgot something stupid. Other than the extra T/Emaxx slipper parts, is there anything else I need for the Mod1 slipper arrangment? Or for the center dogbones (do they come with pins, cups, etc)? Oh, and does a 15T pinion sound about right? I chose it based on what other people are running...

Yeah, I got a radio; the Spektrum DX3. No, I didn't get it from Mike :dft001:. I was at my LHS and they had the Spektrum with the extra receiver and I got impulsive. The only things I don't like about the spektrum is that the CH3 output doesn't latch on or off for the shifter (I might modify this), the CH3 button is in an awkward spot to use easily (I might modify this too), and I can't find a charger for the charging jack. Other than those things, the radio is freakin amazing! And talk about a TINY receiver!
