My Money Pit REVO

Post by FasterLouder »

Thought I'd share some pics of my almost completed REVO.
Lord only knows how much money I've sunk into it and I'm still spending-just bought a set of CVD's for it. 8)

Where to begin?
Started with a Vantage carbon chassis,it has to be the nicest carbon RC part I have ever seen.
-2 speed transmission with a forward only conversion (I have all parts to install the reverse)
-RPM front arms
-RPM front uprights with larger bearings
-RPM True Track kit-includes upper and lower rear arms & uprights with 1.5 degrees of toe in built in
-Hot Racing lightweight alloy turnbuckles throughout the entire truck
-RPM front bumper support
-Alloy suspension rockers w/bearings
-Alloy gas tank cap
-RD Logics alloy front bumper
-RD Logics tranny guard
-RD Logics 23mm hubs
-New diffs,filled with silicone fluid
-Exo Carbon rear wing & mount
-Alloy shock mounts
-Alloy steering servo guard
-Single steering servo conversion,using a new JR DS8411 metal geared servo-this servo is super powerful and throws the wheels from lock to lock standing still in a second. :wink:
-New Traxxas 3.3 engine with 10 tanks through it
-THS hard anodized race pipe
-Summit rear bumper
-TEKNO sway bar kit
-TEKNO receiver box
-TEKNO battery box
-TEKNO heavy duty throttle linkage
-TEKNO throttle servo mont
-150cc tank
-23mm hex 1/2" offset ProLine Wabash rims
-New Proline Bow Tie 40 series tires all 'round
-Custom two stage air filter,this is washable,with a primary paper/mesh primary filter and a foam,oil filled secondary filter housed inside
-REVO Platinum body

I've adapted a Losi R.O.S.S. (Remote Operated Start System) into the truck,it runs off a 2S LIPO battery that powers the radio,too.
When I want to start it,all I do is turn my transmitter on,turn the truck on and hit the third channel momentary switch on my transmitter.
Bursts into life right away,very handy if the truck quits,while you're running it,no need to go running after it,just hit the button,again. :D

I've probably forgotten a few things.
This truck is a ball to beat on,I love it.
Wheelies on demand,in 1st and 2nd gear!

definitely money pits. One of the few traxxas models to come along that truly impresses me anymore. Have a few locals who have picked them up and I have helped get running good. I still can't stomach those fricken' plastic carb. bodys though :?
