My new E revo (Evo)

[renny]

Yes you are right that after the day is done then yes I do have to get new parts and I was actualy thinking about trying those titainium arms.
Their twice as much but THREE times as strong.

I just finished the first check of all of the electronics and everything passed.
NOW its time to deal with the tranny /no reverse/no brakes.
I`m using the stock chassis and the stock tranny.
I know that I have to get rid of first gear and then some how lock it up but I`ve never taken this tranny apart before SO....
WHAT DO I DO and HOW DO I DO IT????

Just take the tranny apart and do the following:

• Install the forward-only-conversion kit. This will greatly simplify the transmission and make it stronger. Plus, it'll weigh less.
  
• Remove the first gear. It's the largest one. You won't need it and it'll further reduce weight.
  
• You can do this mod, which has worked well for me, or you can use b0gh0s' adaptor thingy.

While you have the tranny apart, you might want to decide if you want to go with the narrow or wide ratio gear sets. Actually, since you remove first gear, there is no "ratio" anymore, but the second gear reduction ratio does change.

I sure feel sorry for your bulkheads! Id rather replace a $5 arm in 5 minutes than a $15 bulkhead in 30 minutes because my Titanium arm didnt flex when I cut to the inside a tad too tight. For a "race truck", it sure is heavy with all that aluminum on it!!!!!

I weighed it last night after I did the conversion to the tranny and it came in at 14.23lbs but I also have the steel roll cage in it.
OUCH!!!
