Emaxx-Revo-Losi 1/5 AWD On-Road racer

[SpeedAssault]

thanks,
since I always had trouble setting up the radio with esc and I have changed crystals, changed radio's and had no luck except using my Dx6 I sent the ESC back . Since everything worked perfect using the mamba max with the radio I suspect it's the cc monster.
they will receive it Tuesday and should have it back and driving by weekend or next Tuesday
Cant wait to try some J turns with the Rev-Osi monster !!

if for some weird reason there is interference with monster and radio I will have to rush with my Project build of a Spektrum DX6i Pistol radio

Awesome, very nice work.

MAN THIS THING IS KICK ASS AWESOME !!

How Do you guys keep your Pinion on !? besides Loctite


little recap:

Direct drive
locked center
Locked rear
11:1 final ratio
14t mod 1 pinion 49 Spur

6S 4000 30 c lipo
Castle monster combo

If I gun the throttle the car rotates in air and onto it's side

The power of the 11+ lbs monster is nuts !

Once I know the pinion will stay on I will shoot some video

I have tried Blue and red Loctite !

Have you coated the entire shaft with Loctite? I had that problem on a truggy. I coated the entire motor shaft generously with Blue loctite and then slide the pinion on. Then generously applied loctite to the set screw and tightened it down. I let it sit for at least a day. That pinion became a pain to get off needless to say.

thanks nitro

I found a cool long Pinion that has two set screws. and I'll try your idea

It really matters what support tech you speak to there seems to be only TWO good techs at Castle Creations, JOE is a PRO with the MAx and MONSTER AND setting up your RADIO. He calmly and politely listens and accepts that the old radio I use that does have a BRAKE button can and does work on my ESC's the other guy tells me there's no such thing and the ESC is not set up to do it.

SO with that I have my Mnster ESC working with my Old am 27mhz Airtronics XL2P That has a "BRAKE button"
HE also help trouble shoot that I had a poor performing Receiver, unlike the other guy that just got angry
THAnk you Joe, you are the man !


so I hope to get some video soon

today I was driving it and Pulled full throttle and it leaped in the air sideways and landed on it's side ! Remember it's almost 3 feet long and 15" wide and over 10 lbs !
Speed was hard to reach in front of my house but probably reached 50
that's insane power

swapping from a 14 pin to a 17pinion 9.5 final ratio , maybe calm the torque a little

Do you have any 1/4 oval tracks by you? We have one local to us. This would be a blast on a track like this!

I DID NOT REALIZE THAT 6S WAS GOING TO BE SO DeSTRUCTIVE !

Updates:
Things broken
Welds on extended steel drive shafts, 5 times
tooth on steel 49 spur gear
Front Diff coller busted
knuckle ball popping out 3 times
Pinion gear coming loose 4 times
Motor coming loose 2 times
Rear shock came off
curb jump collision-- broken body mounts
lost pin in revo shaft
Wheels coming unglued


The car has been very difficult to drive straight once it's reaches over 40mph
so I glued in windows for the rear body as they were cut out from Original owner.
That did the trick along with adding aluminum strips on the bottom of the body also 2 more lower body mounts. total 6
The car now drives straight and is more controllable

cut out vent in front grill and adding tubing to help cool motor/ESC

I took it to the track, hoping to use the track before they closed down and took it apart, but the battery took 1.5 hrs to charge ( charger was hot)
they had already disasemble the track but I drove on the tire marks for a bit, car did much better, then broke the front diff coller that was stock and drilled out to fit the larger losi diff.
A 1/8 nitro racer came over and told me the body is a very poor race body, they just don't well and that my aluminum sway bars need to be steel

Time to make some Aluminum diff collars and steel sway bars


LOOKING FOR Grooved 1/5 tires Please PM mE

Hi there I noticed that you're using a custom chassis what are the dimensions? I'd love to do a similar project. So will Road Rage tires fit in the wheel wells of the body? By the way i also noticed you live in the Bay Area are you part of the M2 Hobbies forum yet?

Thanks

Long live the E-Maxx in all its forms! Have been watching the build all along! Its great! How is it going?

Uhh are you talking to me? Are you from RCU, M2 or BYT? or Youtube? Yea I've been checking this forum out for a while admire the creativity waiting to pick up an ezrun and kingmotor baja when i go to HK. But when i comeback oh yeah fun fun fun. I figured during my 16 hr flight I'll design the chassis and when i come back i'll use the good ol CNC . Problem is i need to know the dimensions and what wheel nuts he using. That help alotttt.

Its alright.
Um... have you read the whole thread? What specs are you talking about? Dimensions? Chassis length and width?

[littleazn248]

Yea I've been through all the pages of the build process. The information i am seeking though is super specific because I cut all my chassis on CNC (unfortunately not mine). I was hoping that i could get the distance between the front and rear bulkheads. I was also curious did you have to modify the bulkheads to fit in a revo arm?

[littleazn248]

hmm i've been doing some research and cant seem to fine the wheel adapters you are using towards the end i see the OSH ones but i want to get ones like you use towards the end. You are using FG racing wheels right?
