please No...not another one

As its now finished and running I thought I share a few pics with you.

Thanks to all who have done this before, and provided me with the much needed answers.
The build thread is on a UK based forum http://www.maxbashing.com/forum/inde...T&f=5&t=27114&
just spreading the word :027:

Thats VERY nice! I really like the way you've got everything mounted, hows it running?

[HotnCold]

Nice Looking.... Have you thought about supporting the motor wires - From landing off jumps they will move up and down a little - a little moving over a bunch of landings and you will short out the insulators between the wires. ( dont ask me how i figured this out ) All in all - nice ride...

Ive only run it across a wet car park, and a waterlogged field. :eek:
this is the UK what do you expect :005:
I am happy to say the speedo seems out of the way for getting wet (obviously it wouldn't do to drown it) but it means I can drive it on more than a couple of days in a year.
The handling is a revelation coming from a lardy emaxx, It will have to be worked on though as the set up is still stock.

HnC yeah I thought about it ..............................and did nothing about it:dft001:
I do have a gear cover somewere, maybe I could hack that abit and clip them to it, no?

[Mike.L]

very nice e-revo cabking, nice thinking on the esc mounts very smart
divide and sort the wires nicely and everything should be awsome!
overall i love what you've done to the truck:)

Keep It Up!

the truck looks good i wouldnt want to drive it accross wet areas though.

[squeeforever]

VERY NICE TRUCK! only thing i would do is reverse the tranny, and shorten the esc wires to the motor.

[Sneeck]

Very nice truck. May I ask what receiver box that is?

[Serum]

Cool truck CabKing!!!

cool truck for SURE!!

i have the same question as sneek has.. :p

and that protective films seems nice..! (this is the first time i've seen it)

[Dafni]

Very nice truck!
Good thinking on the RX box! And nice battery hold-downs.
The protective film is not really my style, but you did a nice job! How about cutting the screw holes into the protective film?
The ESC mount is nice, too, but I would have chosen another location. Unless you have an SUV body, you wont be able to put the body super low.

ps: Dutchies, read his original thread! He mentions the RX box.

[maxxdude1234]

Nice and clean looking cabking. May I ask what batteries you are using? They look a little like IB3800 relabled, just wonderer who by?

[HotnCold]

THat buggy looks so nice and the questions are Where did you get that receiver box?.... Why did i know there would be inquiries about the spektrum receiver box..... :005: Now cabking if you would pm me the info on that box - LMAO........ ( i bet this thing winds up on a few revo's now LOL )

Brownie points for you Daf :027:


I got the box from here http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...1689&criteria=

they have stores all over the UK, mabye its like Radio Shack???
the stickers however cost a little more. :cool: but they do look good.

that particular box is not that user freindly
The biggest problem was that it fixed together with a single screw through the middle, (right were the receiver sits)
you can sort that though with small bits of P38 in the corners of the box. when its set just drill it out and the screws will 'tap' themselves in.

squee, I messed around with the direction of the tranny/motor plate/drive shafts but this way seemed the best for the drive shafts to fit.

serum, me neither until a week ago, I saw it on a xxx and thought 'I need that'...... as you do.
Time will tell if its worth doing or not,

maxxdude, they are Epic ESP ...3800 and they fit under Mike's bars perfectly :043:

daf, I though I'd only cut out the holes that showed the glue side, and leave the real PITA job of cutting round the screws till I needed too :026:
The speedo site is not perfect agreed, but its always a compromise were to site the damn things. It does mean I can show off the fans though :020:

I know what your thinking ......'cause its been said before
TART:005:

[coolhandcountry]

Cool revo. I like the looks of it. The esc may not be in best location but the mount is nice. I think it is cool that you can see the fans with body on to.
