Another GR3 Gorillamaxx Revo build

[ssspconcepts]

Here are some updates...tires and the steering servo are on the way. After that I will probably hold off on the ESC and motor (hopefully-fingers crossed-MMM will be out in April). If not...I am going with MGM and Neu.

I tried to get some close-ups of the new revo/traxxas wing mount for those considering it. I like it.

Looks totally sick. Thats one of the best looking revos I have ever seen. I like the choice of the 3.3 axles vs CVDs. They hold up well, but do start to stretch over time at the joints, but Cheap to replace and I've never actually broken one, unlike CVDs.

Just a heads up on the Traxxas CF looking wing. I bought one and it literally shattered on the first roll over crash last weekend. And when I say shattered I mean SHATTERED into little pieces. Ive never seen anything like it. The crash really shouldn't have been a big deal at all either. The turn marshal spent 5 minutes picking up the shards of the wing from the track. That was $12 bucks wasted for sure. They look awesome, but they are made from crap material. If you have another wing use it. The traxxas wing is good for pictures only.

The wing mount itself is very stout and much better than the Tekno and Jconcepts versions.

EDIT: Only thing I would add is the sway bars. They made a huge difference in handling. I actually like the Traxxas sway bars better than the tekno. The rear sway bars on the traxxas are mounted in the back of the truck and they don't interfere with the wiring and stuff like the Teknos.

Hey thanks...I have really been wondering about the sway bars. One of the reasons that I haven't gotten one yet is because of the interference with the wiring. But you say the Traxxas version is good to go...I'll check it out. I have Maximizer 17mm beadlocks and some HPI GT tires coming along with a HiTec Ti gear servo. After that it will be a waiting game for the ESC/motor.

I am thinking about converting the Strobe slipper to the Revo 3.3 Spec slipper and input shaft. I would use the 40T Revo spur....Do you think this is practical? I hate to ditch the Strobe/Sprong...but I can't find a consistent supply of slipper pads.
