Okay, it's done

How do the weights look?

Wow. I completely missed this. It looks excellent!!

Well not completely

, Travis work is now done (he can now start with his 4WD CORR TRUCK

). I should be able to receive this and start building by Monday or Tuesday. I am still need to find a decent servo, I think the 7955TG is a bit of over kill for this truck. Suggestions are welcome. I am also waiting for the replacement MMM from CC, tracking show it hasn't arrive yet in CC.

Hopefully I could run it before the end of November...

Any idea the rtr weight?

TruckBasher · 11.03.2008, 01:15 AM

No idea at this point, I haven't received it yet...but my aim is 9lbs or less

If someone can weigh a stock E-Revo transmission + lower skidplate + all mounting screws + Neu 1512 or 1515 + pinion gear, and provide the entire weight of their truck, then it would be possible to estimate. The corresponding parts on this conversion (bracing + motor + motor mount/support + screws + skidplate) weigh 1lb. 6.6 oz. or 641grams.

I think 9lb. is not a hard goal to accomplish, as long as Lipo and moderately sized tires are used.

After 12hrs of office work and 4hrs of sleep I was so excited to start that I forgot to take photo

I was able to mount the front/rear bulkheads and from arms

I made a custom front drive shaft as the stock E-Revo shaft was too short. The rest fitted perfectly..

Travis, the bottom plate seem to fit perfectly with front and rear skid plates...we'll see as I go along...

I was definitely not expecting the stock E-Revo front driveshaft to be too short... That's a good thing though! That allows the link between the motor and front diff to be stronger.

Can't wait to see more!

TruckBasher · 11.04.2008, 12:07 PM

Hey Travis, I completed the front and rear and its amazing how you made the measurement..it fitted as if you were expecting the front and rear skids....

I will continue building and post photo

MetalMan · 11.04.2008, 12:41 PM

That is great! I just wish all things in my life fit together as nicely...

Quick question, how much lower does the front skid sit than the bottom plate on the conversion?

emaxxnitro · 11.04.2008, 10:59 PM

very nice! love the outrunner!

TruckBasher · 11.05.2008, 02:43 AM

Thanks emaxxnitro

Made some progress today

Travis look how nice the clearance is for the bottom skids that you made

Additional photo:

Back

To do's
- figure out a way to mount the nerf bars (or just scrap that ideal

)
- MOunt the wheels and shocks
- find a suitable servo
- paint the body

Then is a waiting game with CC again ....
