1/16 Mini E-Revo - Top Speed Build - RC-Monster Forums

Wow, just found this thread after seeing a picture in the MMpro one; absolutely stunning workmanship!

On the issue of it still being a mini erevo or not, it is. A custom chassis is no different than an aftermarket one bought online or in a shop- its just a homemade one that could easily be repeated and sold en mass if people really wanted it (cnc'd the main upper and lower plates I believe?). The point being really that it is the spirit of the machine that determines what it is- tranny & axles/ suspension design being the main factors.

For example, when you look at 99% aftermarket emaxxes, with UE this and Gorillamax that, you still call it a 'Maxx' dont you? Its just got alot of upgrades that replace the stock parts for something stronger, longer or better designed for the purpose you have in mind.

Again, i was not trying to discredit his project...

It is very well made :)

I said that for the following reason,

me and my friend got the mini-revo up to 83mph, thats the fastest mini-revo i seen so far, with parts that everybody can get access to, the truck have the same wheelbase as stock, no added wings, it look stock other than the tires.

So when you try to get the fastest out of a model and see someone building a different , longer chassis, that will give a huge advantage... but you have no access to that same chassis, you cannot compete..., everybody can get an FLM or gorillamaxx, people call their emaxx gorillamaxx or Gmaxx thats for a reason...

I have nothing about the upgrade itself really :)

its a great project im sure he will get some nice gains from that chassis, i wish him best of luck, if we got beaten then we will have to work harder!

now back on the thread?

any update kazuaki?

This should resolve this issue...

This chassis is now available for sale. For a $150 you get the top and bottom chassis plate. You can source the standoffs and bolts to put them together yourself. The lead time from order payment to delivery is 4-6 weeks.

There, now they are available to everyone
