V-Twin Velinions in Revo....build from scratch
 

Finaly got 80% of my parts and started the build...I was going to start with a rtr that I bought but we started using the nitro at rhe track so I decided to build this project from scratch

Nice! Building my Revo from scratch was my favorite part!

Looks great so far!! :yes: My only recommendation is to make some sort of cover to block the holes/cut out underneath the spur gear. It seems that rocks can bounce up into it pretty easily. But other than that, awesome work!!

Nice work Bustitup!!. I'm glad to see you finally rolling that bad boy along.. :yipi: Keep us updated!..

Thanks for sharing and have a great one.

Shaun.

Checking the fit of the 8000 lipo and 8 cell nihm......the wheelie bar hooked up nice and tight .....also checking placement of esc's

still waiting for some stering parts,servo and the body (desert rat)

also if you read this mike...I need front and rear center driveshaft .....do you think I can find something that will fit or will I have to have it custom made

Sweeeet! It looks like it was meant to be that way!

I like it, good job. I would find a way to make sure the front esc wires do not get entangled in the spur.... :)

Oh man. Today my ESC's receiver cable got caught in the spur and I ended up having to splice my first set of wires ever! It's no fun. :(

Sorry first I've seen this but drive shafts you just use 2 rear normal 3.3 driveshafts if IIRC.

What do each of the batteries power? If one esc is on lipo and the other NIMH I think you will get a bit of a mess...

I think he is just getting the fitting down which is why you see two types of batts.
