My e-revo brushless edition build

[mistercrash]

I received my new MMM yesterday. I put it on, changed the settings to the ones I like and tried it. And....... It runs just like the other one I don't like the puky green color of the motor though. I also put a Traxxas red aluminum pushrod for the rear body mount brace.

Anyone else do this? I have a set of Neu batteries that have rather short leads on them and it was difficult to make the connections when they exited from the side of the battery compartments so I cut the fins out of the air outlets and I route the wires out of there. I do it with all my lipos now and I like it.

It's raining outside. So I thought of making mud flaps out of Gorilla Tape and will try them out. At first glance and feel, they might be the toughest mud flaps I have tried. The hard rubber flaps I made earlier are still good, I just wanted to try something different and see if it works.

materials needed:
my mud flaps template printed on a 8.5 by 11 sheet of paper.
about 34 inches of Gorilla tape
some transparent packing tape or pieces of Scotch Tape.
straight edge
hobby knife with new blade
something to punch holes with
6 tie wraps

I started by laying two 7 inch strips of Gorilla Tape side by side, sticky side up



then I stuck four 4 inch strips side by side and perpendicular to the first 2 strips



next I put one 7 inch strip in the middle



and finally, the last 7 inch strip is split in half along it's length and stuck on either side of the last strip that I put in the middle



I taped a template with packing tape so that it wouldn't move



using my hobby knife and a straight edge, I cut on the lines of the template and the soon to be mud flap underneath.



I used this simple little thing to punch holes in paper to punch the holes for the tie wraps.



I used a Sharpie to color the edges for a finishing touch.



Here they are installed, they look kinda cool, like leather mud flaps.

I had a couple PMs of people asking me about the dimension of the shafts for the Thunder Tiger center diff. Here's a pic of the shafts with the dimensions.
