My Race Revo

lookin good dafni
man does that thing sit low

[Sylvester]

Dafni, that is absolutely the greatest truck ive ever seen, somtime, not now, but i may "steal" that body mount idea, what are those gray things (body mounts) made of? Please get a weight for that thing! Sorry to hear the maxamps lipos are poop didly:(

[coolhandcountry]

Why you only getting the 75% out the 8000 packs?

[Dafni]

Sylverster, thank you. The body mounts are made out of PVC (the gray plates, avaiable as sheets of various thicknesses), PP (the black posts, available as rods) and alu (the "mount" for the PVC plate on my front bodymount)

Coolhand, long story there. Short version is this: I bought a 5S2P setup (as two 3S packs and two 2S packs) but one 3S pack was bad, had a too low voltage right out of the box. Had to send it back, and even had to pay 50% to get it replaced. (says alot when they can't stand behind their packs) Mind you, the pack was never used, but maybe they haven't believed me.
Anyway, got a new 3S pack one month later, only to find that it drains twice as fast as it's neighbor in a 2P configuration.... maxamp offered me to replace it again, or get a lousy 15% discount on a new set. Junk, IMHO.

So for now, if I don't want to set my truck on fire or whatnot, I only use 75% of the capacity, and it's fine. Still an awesome runtime, but those packs just don't cut it anymore for me. I think I found a better solution.

However, lesson learned. On this truck I only used top of the line stuff, and everything else will still get replaced. Now I will get proper cells, quality has its price.

I can let you know what I think of the cells i have. They are not as light as lipo though. The ones mike has may be good. Not sure though would have to ask mike. Can even get a 5s to.

A truly superb job :dft003: , but then you don't need me to tell you that.
Serum said it right when he called it a TOOL, a tool for catching Truggys is what it is.
Ive followed this thread with interest for a while, Have you had much track time with it Daf, how does it compare to the Nitro Truggys?
As quick as my Revo is it, it is too much to ask to keep with them through the 'twisty bits' but with that centre diff you must have them on the run.

I don't suppose you have any drawings for that mount :p As I know a good 'Mill Monkey' (his words not mine) who is very partial to a beer....I work for a Brewery .......It is one of Natures true partnerships. :027: remeber............imitation IS the most sincere form of flattery.
I was going to convert a CRT as it seems the easy thing to do, but a centre diff Racing Revo really floats my boat.

Top work Daf

[Dafni]

Thank you Mr. Cabking sir! Always makes me smile when I inspire people!
Sorry, no drawings of the diff/motormount though. Just made it up as I went along.

So far I had no chance to race it against a nitro truggy. You don't see much truggies here, most nitro guys are still into buggies here. This summer I will take it out with me on tour, and maybe I'll even pay you guys on the Island a visit. I'll let you know when I'm around, would love to drive on your track, Cabking.

And I'm sure when you get to know your tranny revo better, get the turn sweeping throttle technique down, you'll catch up with the nitros. Even on tight tracks.

[squeeforever]

Dont forget, you can always add a center diff into your tranny.

[Mike.L]

wow daf another outstanding achievement! nice man

[Serum]

Yeah, a true piece of RC art.

No doubt about that Daniel!

[Sylvester]

Muahaha, now your gonna have some competition! Im gonna be building up a whole new revo over the summer, and i have alot of things up my sleeve! But daf, even i, nor serum, nor any of the big companies (gorillamaxx, integy etc) Could create something as wonderful as you have, Kudos!

[Serum]

Heya sylvester, speak for yourself buddy!!!!!

[coolhandcountry]

Well I have to say dafni has some sweet rides. I can't say that others can't do it. Just whether they choose to do it.

Rene has some clean rides to. He just don't show them all off to everyone.

[crazyjr]

Agreed, I want one in carbon fiber, center diff and all
