My E-Revo Conversion - V3 lives.... - RC-Monster Forums

JThiessen · 08:05 PM

Now for V3. I have to thank some of the guys who helped with parts, either purchased or "paid forward": Art1K for the diffs, Gee for some of my gearing, and Dafni for the chassis.

New 3.3 chassis (wow, theres lots of room!), Revo spec slipper, Aluminum diff internal and external cases, Neu 1515 2.5D, MMM, A123's (notice the HUGE 3S2P packs), RPM TrueTracs, E-Revo center shafts, E-Revo Reciever Box, Spektrum DX3, HITEC 5955, Badlands, Ofna 17MM hex's, titanium shocks (50wt, progressive valves, AND Black springs in the rear, and it still wont stay up). Teckno Wing - I'm going to replace it with the Traxxas mount which seems to be more durable.
Currently geared 25/68. Got some room to play either direction depending on which batteries I end up running.

Just an FYI, that's actually the JConcepts wing mount in your pics. Truck looks awesome

You are correct - but I think the wing mount is a Teckno, isnt it?

No, it's a JConcepts. It looks like a Tekno because JConcepts basically took the design and changed it a little. Here's a pick of the Tekno with a CRT .5 wing on it.

Yes, you are correct. I'd better quit bashing on Tekno, then. The mount is crushed down, closing up the holes where the mounting screws are. Landed on the lid too many times!

Sweet Job on the V1-V3 custom metal trays, Not just another open the bag and bolt on Tekno Conversion. Looks like you just pealed the clear paint mask off that body, Nice and clean.

I can't count how many times I've been tempted to purchase the bolt on stuff. Escpecially when you read the threads about guys that get their parts in, and in a few hours its up and running, while I'm spending a week fitting up and remaking each part 5 times. But when I started this one 2+ years ago, there wasnt any of that stuff available. Yes, the paint was only a few hours old.
