E-revos Done!

[RcBro]

Got some time and started working on the e-revo . IMO its better then the new traxxas e-revo. Can't wait to hit the track with it.

Running a Feigao Motor with Mamba Max esc, and UBEC. JD Carbon pushrods, hingepines and turnbuckles with maxamps packs.

wow... looks great!! what tires you running? it looks like you are using the 3906 tranny, am I right?
but aren't you going to have a pretty high center of gravity with that battery mounting system compard to the typical flat like mine? ( I probably just sounded really stupid as I can't see it in person..)
although you can use bodies I can't...

btw nice use of zip ties *thumbs up* :cool:

Edit: o yeah, duh.... Hows it perform and how do you like it :)

[the_brat_jr]

Tires are badlands, rims look like .. I forget the brand. Beadlocks though.

Looks good RcBro.. And ya, how does it perform?
REDZ ONEZ GOZ FASTERZ!!!!

^ Oi! Datz my line :p . "Red wunz go fastah!"

Maximizer X-75 is the brand and model you're searching for.

Sweet looking E-Revo conversion. The carbon pushrods and turnbuckles look exceptional. Tire and wheel combination are exactly what I would have chosen. Great rig mate.

[bandaro]

yup, badlands tyres.
hows it handle? and is the balance right? it looks like it may be too far to the left, with the motor there...

[e owner]

o yeah I knew that :o but what brand? proline?

yeah and also the tranny is 1/8th of an inch towards the right (looking from front) as with all 3906 trannies in the revo..

hey, where's your front skid?

[SavagePede]

Yes, Proline Badlands. ;)

Skids? We don't need no stinkin' skids! :lol: Guess he believes in the minimalist approach to racing: If it doesn't make you go faster or adds weight, ditch it.

[e owner]

the skids hold the hinge pins on in the revo...
no skids = a arm falling off in the middle of the race ;)

[M3mph1s]

*psh*
A arms only weigh more and don't add speed.

See, even TheJANGs car tried to ditch it's arms for the weight-saving effect!

[RcBro]

The badlands and beadlocks aren't actually used. Just what I had here. They're actually for my E-maxx Brother has all my tires and rims right now.

The trany is the old version trany with g-maxx single speed installed.

The balance is near perfect, the servo, esc and ubec balance out the motor perfectly. I plan to sit it on 4 scale though and get it precise with some lead weight.

Haven't track tested it yet so I can't say how it'll preform but judging by its stance I think its going to ride on rails.

I'm having some problems getting the system calibrated right. IT should be ALOT faster then what it is currently. Not sure if I'm just not giving it enough battery or what. MMM will be out soon enough lol

[DickyT]

Looks great Bro! i can't wait to hear track experiences.

[lefthook]

awsome work man, i want it

[liam]

Nice, how much did it cost you so far ?

[RcBro]

Not sure on complete cost but it was less then a new e-maxx. I scored on the roller chassis was cheap too. Most expensive part was the electronics.

[RcBro]

got the system calibrated correctly and found out I had the motor running in reverse. This thing is FAST!!!

[SavagePede]

Fast you say eh? How fast is your rig?

[RcBro]

i'll try to get it on the radar gun this week. . I'm going to let my LHS owner borrow it for a bit. But will get some footage of it sunday

[RcBro]

Well heres a front yard video clip for all you that asked for it. Hope to get some real quality footage soon but then again I always say that.

I had my little cousin film it so its not the best and I did a quick movie maker edit job. But its better then nothing right! lol.

[SavagePede]

That filming's good enough for me :D . Geez that motor's got some yank to it. :eek: Even with 4wd, it lauches its front wheels toward the sky like a banshee. Good stuff man.

[gman]

that is awsome!!!! im glad someone still uses nimh or nicd.
