Step-by Step building the ultimate GRR3 E-Revo!

[TDC57]

Thanks BG!.. I was doing that everytime I had the oppertunity to work on her too. Loads of fun to build and I cant wait to drive her. I'm hoping to have her running soon. I did speak with with Ben @ sicklizds today and here are some pre-painting shoots he forward to me.. I should have the body by Friday (then it will be looking totaly SWEET)





I hope you like it!..

Have a great one.

Shaun.

All right gentlemen,
I think the custom mods are just about complete?! (Yes!!)
Here I'm showing the rear sway bar links, before and after.
The before shoots represent a pair of stock 3905 E-Maxx steering drag links and the after represent the red anodized striped and polished

Again thank you for your time in reviewing this thread and have a great day!

Shaun.

Before:




After:




(FYI)
If you plan on doing this mod to your beast? The center support is a P3 rocker, Traxxas # 5329X the rear sway bar links are steering drag links off of a 3905 E-Maxx, Traxxas # 3914R and the front steering sway bar links are off a Rustler toe links, Traxxas # 3239X. All of these parts started out as Red anodized and I simply stripped them with Easy off oven cleaner and polished them using 0003 steel wool and Mothers Billet metal polish..

I was just looking at your project and I am wandering about your ESC monting. With the ESC mounted directly under the motor isn't that going to creat problems both with heat and with hi frequency interference? Just a thought...

Hay Jerry2kone!,
Not that I'm aware of?? I've got several people who know there *$^#& and I've been told / infomed that I've picked a great place for it? (who knows)??

I'll let you / the team know if and when I get it running if I have any problems with it..

That's a great comment!.. Thank you!. I'll be sure to look out for any isses..

WOW. This hobby never gets old for me. Every time I see some nice conversion, it's just WOW. This forum has by far the most beautiful conversions and experienced guys ever. Every day I learn something new and when I get a chance to do a Revo conversion, I'll be looking at some of the conversions here. Every conversion in this forum rocks.

My body is complete!.. Yaaaa

Now I just need to receive it and install it.. Cant wait..











Have a great one.

Wow that body is hot!

Gonna look even better all scuffed up from doing standing backflips with that torquey motor

[magman]

WOW!!!! there is not much more I can say...As far as the expense goes, can you REALLY put a price on FUN and a pure adrenaline rush?

My thoughts / hopes exactly!.. I'll post some vids as soon as i get it her running..

I'm actually working in the RC-M / Fast-lane booth with Mike with weekend at the RCX expo in Pomona so who knows maybe I’ll have the opportunity to have a track time??. One can dream..

Thanks again for the kind words and have a great one..

Agreed!... One can't and one shouldn’t!.. I’m just so anal retentive: I keep all of records very detailed for others or myself in regards to future builds and past mistakes / blunders.

Thanks for looking and leaving your comments..

Have a great one.. Magman..

Ok.. the Mod’s continue (sue me)
Here I’ve got a before and after shot of my spur gear, since I couldn’t find one black "mod 1" to use with my current setup, I simply made it black Via Dye. I think it turned out ok?? And it allows me to run a 52/24 combo..

I'm taking any suggestions in-regards to proper gearing combination?? If you have any recommendation fell free to toss them my way..

Thanks again for your time and have a great one..

I have a t-maxx and have changed it two times...stock, installed the Dynamite.28 kit, and now brushless...(almost done). For me it almost as much fun to upgrade these trucks as it is to run. Now, when I am finished w/ my upgrade, I won't have to wrench on it as much!

I installed what I thought were upgrades to make it "bomb proof", in reading these forums, my perspective on "bomb proof" has drastically changed and so have my upgrades...my point is if you REALLY want to have fun, you need to pony up the cash for the best of the best and then and hopefully then...no worries!!! IMOP

That's a really sweet ride! Looks a little like mine. I hope you will be having really fun with it, at least you should!

.

I think that’s probably a good start. It seems high initially when coupled with the Emaxx 2nd gear and 1/8 diffs, but when you combine it with that low KV Neu motor barely turning 30k on 6S, I think you could probably run whatever gearing you want and not have to worry about excessive heat.

[Gee]

Man that is nice Shawn. Every time I go through your build I keep thinking I should of did that too. Looks like it going to be damn tough with the diffs you got. I used some lexan under the motor on my g3r also. I have the mm so it doesn't fit under the motor but it close to it. I cut a little part out and installed a small fan that blows up from the bottom. Needed it with the Novak but the Neu is running cool. So now it just a hole in the lexan with a fan. I'm on my second stock differential. I wish I would of got the diffs to begin with.......

I'm running 54/26 on my G3R Neu 1515 1/ w/ 4s same tranny but diff are stock. I haven't played much with the gearing once I put those on.
