yes...yes... i am starting to see that is the way to go. baby steps. just eying up some good cells now for serious bashing. may look to do the old parallel setup to get the weight distribution right. a good excuse to power up to 2 packs in the revo.

well its been a while between updates. i have recently gone the electric motor brake route and ditched the mech brakes. i must say the car seems a little more brisk. or it could be the shock rebuild i did either way its zippy.

i still have the clutch bell but i gutted the clutch shoes and managed to turn something on the lathe to act as a locking adaptor. i used 2 dowel pins either side and drilled 2 holes into the clutch bell and into the locking bush. so i essentially have direct drive with reverse. it lasted for a few weeks up until 10 minutes ago. this motor has some serious power,so much that it has pushed one of the tapered steel dowels through a thick layer of devcon and almost all the way out!!!!!!

this is seriously insane!

the dowels were a press fit also and the layer of devcon was insurance.

so...now back to the drawing board it is for me.... i am amazed and annoyed at the same time.
