Step-by Step building the ultimate GRR3 E-Revo!

[Arct1k]

Insane! Can i send you my cars for cleaning and polishing!

[suicideneil]

i had the same thought!

Question though- what exactly are the polishing compounds you used, and what kinda polishing wheel is that (material?)? Gotta beat hand-polishing things at any rate...

the truck is looking awesome by the way!!!!

Thanks

Thanks for the compliments Shizzon,
I’ve bent my fair share of them, but I have never broken them!. I like them and for $54.00 they are defiantly worth it!.. I have broken 6 axel output shaft and have been told that if I used Traxxas stock one, I would break the stock plastic color instead I don’t know?!,

I still like them and they match the build so I'm keeping them..

Thanks for stopping by and I hope the ramble made sense?? LOL.LOL

I've seen your Builds Neil your are so clean you can eat off them (please!)

Cleaning compounds:

I start with steel wool 000
Then I use the cleaning wheel (white) on my 8' bench grinder with the following compounds:
Royobi "E" (For cleaning nickel & chrome, stainless steel, brass and copper)
or i use
Mibro #2 Cleaning compound for nickel & chrome, stainless steel, brass and copper

Then I change the pad to the orange (polishing wheel) and use the following compounds:
Royobi "H" for shining to a high gloss hard and soft metals
or
Mibro #6 High gloss polishing compound

then to top it off I'll use Mothers Billet Metal Polish.

So a quick re-cap:
• steel wool
• cleaning coumpound
• polishing compound
• final shine “Mothers” then
• Buff to a high blinding gloss…

It's 3-6 hrs of pure quality time with your RC!..

P.S.
This usually works best after a few drinks!..

And you need like 30 cloth towels too

Thank you Sir, It’s just something to do / fill that void between 1-4 am (Friday and Saturday nights) Did I mention I'm I’ve got two kids..

[jordan...]

Hey Shaun,

Have you run the 'Ultimate GR3' since you've cleaned it up? I bet it goes even better than it looks. Hows the mother in-law situation

[TDC57]

Hey Jordan..
No I wanted to keep it clean and show it to my dad, my parents are down for the weekend so I'm taking my kids and them down to the park this weekend for a bash section, it will his fist experience driving any RC let alone my this, my 808 and my battle truck!.. Good time ahead!..

The mother in law is going GREAT, and I wish she could stay longer!! The house has never been cleaner, fridge and pantry are stocked with food all of the clothes are being washed and foled, the dogs are being walked and fead!.. I'm telling you! The WIFE is hating life!, I'm sitting back LOVING IT!! … It just doesn’t get any better Jordan.. hahahhahhahaaaa…

Have a great weekend Sir..

I have a G3R, too and I am going to switch the Gorilla center front shaft to the Traxxas shaft as you did. I hope you could help me.
What is the part number of the shaft (#5450?)?
I notice the Gorilla center front shaft is so close to the stock servo save mount; probably 2-3 mm apart. Doesn't the Traxxas hit the mount due to the larger diameter? How to solve the porblem? Thank you.

Hello,
did you had problems with your Traxxas CV Driveshafts?
they are strong?
Thanks

Bye

[Arct1k]

They are strong but still breakable - I keep a stock of shafts in and go through one every one in a while. The RPM arms are too flexible IMO to use with the CVD's

you advice for my FLM-Maxx ?
or MIP ? TSAIS ?

awesome revo but be careful of those cvd's i have busted 2 set's on my gorillamaxx emaxx watch out.

really nice truck my friend!
just wonder what you used to take the color away?

[JERRY2KONE]

Most people just use Easy Off oven cleaner to remove the anodizing.
