My Race Revo

[crazyjr]

Hey Dafni. are you going to put a brace on the holes where the transmission origionaly mounted? I noticed on my G2R that even with the lower plate on, without the transmission there is a lot of flex in the middle of the chassis where the transmissiom mounted to the X-braces. Just a thought and a heads up.

once again WOW!!!!

Indeed! A (adjustable) brace to support the rear of the motor.
And some holes will be used to mount the ESC-mount.

Also, the upright motor-mount will be cross-braced to the chassis. In one of the pics in the first post you can see the hole in the motor-mount.

The x-braces alone have some flex, but with the lower plate it is pretty rigid, IMHO. But you are right, extra support wont hurt.

Still a concern might be the area where I had to modify the x-braces to make room for the spur.... maybe I'll brace this too.

Thanks for the WOW, thought you will like it.

Just something i noticed with mine that i thought i would pass along.

I have always had a thing for low profile cars( comes from my slotcar days) I also have an HPI pro3 touring car for that reason. I love a design where you can put most of the weight at or near the centerline of the wheels

and yes the motor looks right sitting there

Thanks for the heads up, crazy. Your input is appreciated!

Dafni,

That looks great. What size spur are you using? Could you have put the diff towards the back or is there not enough room?
