my e-revo and dremel dilemma

GOOD for you to stay 2 speed! I want to do the same with brushless!

So, after those were all gone, I began checking out exactly how I am going to mount my shifter.

I'm a bit stumped right now. I can't machine those cool mounts out of aluminum like dafni did, so, I'm open to suggestions. Right now I'm contemplating using parts of the steering assembly from the e-maxx to cut with the dremel as they need to be to run the screws through betwen the chassis and servo, essentially doing the same thing as dafni's mounts. This is going to be no easy task though, not to get right anyway.

I have access to a small amount of plexiglass, and am not a bit above using scrap plastic from the leftover bits of emaxx chassis, or using household stuff (bottles, caps, markers, etc.). I just need this to be funtional, I'll make it pretty down the road.

And please, no posts telling me I should just ditch the 2 speed and shifter and go single speed. I've weighed my options, and I want this to be 2 speed. I like shifting, and for my own reasons it is staying 2speed. Thanks.

Make you're life easier and ditch the 2 speed and shifter and go single speed, unless you like breaking your tranny.

HAHAHAHA!

Ohh jeez, this is what I didn't want. I ran 2 speed with the same setup in my maxx, and I'm keepin' it in the revo. Anyone wanna tell me how to do it, instead of why I shouldn't? I want to keep it! lol

Haha, couldn't resist. :)

Seriously tho...

I made a mount similar to what you need to make a mount for my rollbar.

Did you buy a 3mm tap? I just used a ~(1/4 or 3/8")x ~1" x whatever piece of plastic (some scrap UHMWPE from conv) trimmed to make an angled block (~same shape as Daf's alu piece.) I just then drilled and taped 3mm holes (dont have to tap, but its nicer/stronger) so I could run the servo screws thru. You could do a similar thing, but add retaining nuts to hold servo on.

Should be fairly easy. Alu is pretty and blingy; plastic is cheap, light and easy.

Yeah, bling is the farthest thing from my mind. I will definitely look into that!
