e-revo?

[Serum]

Yups..

Just take a close look at the exploded view.. It would explain.. :)

It's build nice, don't get me wrong.. but not my interpretation of TOUGH..

If you want a new toy; what are you looking for? basher or racer?

[Mr.lst]

a little of both

sounds like a good candidate for an e-revo..

Just for clarification; I have NEVER had a problem with the gears themselves. As long as the bearings don't wear out creating mesh play, the gears should last a long time. As a matter of fact, my first attempt at locking second gear used epoxy which ended up coming apart. Even with the large pieces of epoxy floating around in there, the gears didn't show any damage whatsoever (which I was pleasantly surprised). The pin issue I had could have simply been a weak spot in the metal itself or whatever.

well today was a good day. i got all the missing parts for the revo like the driveshaft and spur and also go the motor mount fabbed up. i spent $0 on the mount. i just went to the machine shop next door and asked if they had some scrap aluminum and he pointed to a bin and said take all you need. i got plenty of materials to make motor mounts similar to the one offered by rc-monster.com but i just stuck with simple cut up angled aluminum. at first i figured id have to make a super beefy mount but this friggin aluminum is some tough stuff. i can't make it flex with my hand so i have deffinitly got faith in it at this point. oh and i am using the shaved stock engine mount. thanks guys.

oh and also, it now is pretty much a roller lacking only the motor and batt. i will order a nemesis 8xl this week, as well as the clamp/heatsink. then its just time to wait on funds to pay for some lipos. Also i wanted to thank everyone for answering all my Q's and being a huge help. i am a member of several other forums and it always seems like everyone thinks your a dumb*** if you ask questions, so thanks again for the support, its greatly appreciated and has made this build very fun.

Congrats on your build! Always here to assist! Get some pics when you can of the project!

[BrianG]

Yes, pics are a definite REQUIREMENT! :) Consider it the fee for having your questions answered. ;)

[Looneybin]

alright you want pictures well i got good news, i finnally found my camera.:027: the pics show the aluminum esc mount, motor mount, receiver mounts, and front bumper. still working on the wheel bar but i'll let yall know when it gets finnished. so let me have some suggestions and feel free to comment. before anyone goes there i know the motor mount seems thin but this machine shop aluminum is some sturdy stuff, not sure the specs but if it doen't work i will make a more traditional three peice unit. it still needs finnishing but im waiting on the motor so i can cut it to fit. thanks again and enjoy.
