Hi all,

I posted about BL e-maxx some time ago, and the project changed to an e-revo.
So far I have;
Revo 3.3 roller
E-maxx tranny
MM esc
Heatsink/clamp fo the motor
pinions and steel idlers
UBEC

In the mail is coming an 10XL motor.

So far I've fitted the tranny onto the chassis, not bolted on yet, need to clean things up first.
But the first problem arose, as the front center shaft is too short, do I really need to buy steel custom dogbone CVD's (dont want to) or is there and alternative option?
I was thinkin using 2 outside shafts and joining them using inside slider and some super glue... Opinions?

that is exactly what i did but i only glued it to one of the outside sliders so that taking it off and on becomes easier... i just like the iedea of the sliders so i stuck to them verses the dogbones that came with my g2r chassis... the bones are definitely stronger though... i broke one of the center shafts landing from a big triple with to much power... however it it was a cold -10 degrees... also i would use shoe goo or something similar (flexible and strong) versus the super glue

Shoot Mike an email, he can make you any type of dogbone you need.

(ask for Mike at manufacturing)

i think a revo rear will work or a emaxx cut down, worth a shot, the sliders hold up pretty good

shoe goo or similar would be better, indeed. I'll first try to use extended revo centers, and if it fails has anyone shortened an axle drive shaft? Might work well if it fits...

Progress so far

Trays actually vent wrong, I made cardboard models, witch I used tu cut them, and actually in a hurry made mirror images. that is why they arent so nicely in contact with the chassis. Not good, gotta make new ones sometime.
Still some cleaning up to be made and get batt straps, esc and rx into it.

That took quite some hammering to get the chassis flat.. :)

j-man · 04.29.2007, 04:50 PM

Some... but not so much, little bending with pliers and a nice tap or 2 in right places. Actually the outings arent completely flat near the main chassis, did not want to deform it

I like them trays. How did you make them?

I need some details please...:030:
