Project Frankenrevobaja !!!

[Jbreddawg]

First off, I must give credit/blame where it is due ! Special thanks/blame go to lydiasdad for the great idea of a home made baja !
I was in the process of building 2 e-revos , one Gorillamaxx and one homemade . Well After seeing the excellant work on his baja I figured why have 2 revo's when I can have a revo and a mutant baja ! So, while I wait on more parts to finish up my gorillamaxx , I started on the mutant. I was gonna wait till I got farther along to post pics, but couldnt help myself . So, heres where I am as of today . Jerry

Dude, I wanna come and play at your house! :)

What kind of tooling do yopu have?

[Jbreddawg]

Just minor stuff, drillpress, beltsander,vise ,grinder . I have to do the aluminum shearing and bending at work. I have just got my drill press set up to do some minor milling, but have only done it a handfull of times so far. Getting better at it !

your front driveshaft will be incredibly long, its looking good though

[Jbreddawg]

No front driveshaft, 2 wheel drive only .

[DrKnow65]

Well, you do very tidy work for the tool you've got. I'm impressed and sure the buggy will be fun. Any thought of working out the 4wd?

[Jbreddawg]

Wasnt thinking 4wd on this one, I've got my Gorillamaxx revo for that !!
I think it would be pretty hard to make it 4wd with the extreamly long wheelbase .

[Jbreddawg]

This will have a cage by the time I'm done . And will probably start looking more like a buggy once I get the arms and tires on it lol

[lydiasdad]

Nice job, it looks great! Can't wait to see the finished product. What motor, esc, batts are you using? What is your wheel base?

[Jbreddawg]

I made the wheelbase 22 inches . I think that was the same as the HPI baja. I have a 9XL and 2 2s trakpower batts at the moment I bought for my G-maxx , but have since picked up a quark Monster-pro . So now I will be able to run a 6s batt !!! I will set it up with what I've got but plan on bigger and better power soon !

Nice man. I think this project deserves a Neu 1527. You could fit many more batteries in there you know...

[Jbreddawg]

I just want to get it done , then I can start experimenting with motors and batts. I still havnt even seen my g-maxx run yet . Thats the sucky part . As much as I LOVE making my own stuff, it takes forever cause I cant just dedicate a week to it " atleast my girlfriend says I cant " lol !!

[DRIFT_BUGGY]

OMG Wouldn't be surprised if RC411/Xtreme RC would want to put this in their mag

[mriccucci]

Man after i saw lydiasdad's ride i wanted to make one, but this thing is amazing! And using revo parts is the BEST idea! all i can say is and keep up the good work.
