hows everyones E revo?
 

just curious are you guys enjoying the E Revo conversion and is it better than emaxx?

From my personal point of view, its a heap better than my emaxx.
My emaxx had been upgraded sooooo much to take the abuse that it weighed a ton and cost a bomb.
The Revo on the other hand runs basically as stock (except for the diffs) and on a good day can beat a CRT (Nitro obviously ) round our track......Champion :004:

I love mine. I don't have the G2R conversion, but with a OWB bearing up front, it handles damn near as good as my LSP did. G2R is soon to come for it.

:eek: Lost me again squee sorry....whats this and what does it do??

I "think" he means a one-way bearing.. but I'm lost too if that's not it. :D

OWB is one-way bearing. It's like a RD Quickturn. Basically eliminates front brakes so you can whip the rear end around. Yea, yea, I know..It's OWB not WOB....It's called a typo :p.

ahh the light has come on.... thanks
Can I use this for the G2R then as it uses dog bones...no?
the idea of more on power steering would be great.

sorry to spam up the thread Jock

I custom made mine. The Quickturn will be to short. All you need is a OWB from a old pro .15 or something thats smalll, and then press it into a slider with a Revo stub axle going into it.

im thinking of buying it thats why I ask everyone.....

what body fits on the E revo conversion the 3.3 body or 2.5?

The 3.3 will fit better.

Ill post here once i get my revo up and running again ;)

at-a-boy!!!!:D:005:

Well well well...Look what the cat drug in...Lol. How was the month long vacation, Dom?

What diffs are needed for a BL system? Also CF or Aluminium for the Gorilla Maxx chassis? Mostly a basher... Thanks guys.

ok guys im about to buy a revo gorillia kit some guy on ebay is gonna sell me the complet setup like mikes for 530 shippd and he has 3.3 body and im buying other things from him...im gonna build me one whoo hooo...

you will love it too I'm sure...........
If I were building one now, I would wait for Mikes 8th diff cases to come out.
even the 'Hop up' ali ones seem to wear out, Granted they are loads better than stock, but after a few races mine have started to wear around the cross pin.

Squee it was great! Thanks for asking! Really glad to be back. jock you will be very pleased with the revo, it is really an awesome truck!

Any idea when the 1/8 diffs for the Revo will be avaiable?

Not yet HummerMan..
Not yet..

I am about to get a g2r revo too.. Daniel convinced me..

Ok, like weeks, months, or years LOL? Really not to big of a deal for me, since I need to save the money first. Also is the CF or aluminum chassis the way to go?

Carbon Fiber all the way....It might be a month before the diffs come out...

Carbon fiber is alot stronger than aluminum, but if it snaps your out of the game. As for aluminum it can always be bent back as a band aid fix so you can still run while waiting for a replacement. Just my 0.02 cents.

ya, didn't you chip your servo plate when you had your g2.

Indeed i did.

There is no flexing issues with the C/F? What do rocks do when they hit C/F when running? Does it mess up the laminate? Thanks guys, I really appreciate this all!

OK folks its been bought the whole kit but the buy didnt have the gears I told him it sok not to have gears i use my old gears from my emaxx....cant wait.

OH NO! Not another show truck:p look foreward to seeing it. I have a G2R and love it. Can Mike do a G2R kit with a CF chassis? I'm thinking about a new truck for the 7XL and 16024...maybe the 12XL. and was wondering if he could package the revo ends and tranny (Emaxx half case) with the CF chassis

Im trying to to make a bling truck myself, but no metal bulkheads dang it.

I love show trucks, epsecially when they get dirty, but mine will never look that good, I'd be afraid to play with it, much less race it

It's not my intention to make a show truck out of it .. but it turns out nice than expected..
