Well, i have assembled some of my revo and i like the looks of it, for a bit i will be running the stock titans on a evx on 14 cells geared at 14/70.

I will be proceeding to bl , i was thinking of a 8xl running on a 9920, what would be good gearing for this bl seup, i will be using the strobe slipper with the 52t ofna spur gear, i need to know what pinion i should run.

Any questions, comments, or reccomendations are greatly appreciated. Now for some pics:)

If you guys want any close ups of the truck, just ask, I have some traxxas response tires coming to me, they will be mounted on hurricane rims, for a servo i will be using a BMS-660MG Super Strong Standard Size Servo w/ Heat Sink JR/Hitec.

I will be using a ford f-350 extended body from pro-line.

I will be using the hardened steel idler gear from rc-monster and a g-maxx single speed tranny (Once they are in stock, ive already got once reserved;))

i think it will look better when its finished too keep us updated on how your truck is coming along.

Sylvester 01.07.2006 10:29 PM

yeah, i sure will, it will be RTR in 2 weeks, but i will have about 91% finished in 1 week time. Hopefully.

Nice looking truck there Sly!

I have a REVO myself, and their a great handling rig right out of the box.

I swapped out my engine for a OS TM18 and it made a huge improvement on power....but nothing like my Brushless G-Maxx!

Good luck with the build, and keep posting the pics as you go.

Hey, that's a nice truck!! I think I will run an 8XL with a 12020 because my truck is heavy . Yours looks light so it will be fast. But you do need some more bling bling lol :L: I wish we could all get togather someday. What a party :cool:

Looks great!, just orderd myself one.

Are they easy to assemble?

Thanks,

Sylvester 01.08.2006 10:37 AM

Hey guys, thanks for all the compliments, i think my revo is actually gonna be pretty heavy, but we will just have to see, mmdooley no bling bling, yet....;)

E-maxx kid they arent hard to assemble, theres just 1 thing, which isnt hard, near the bulk head, you have to "drill" out a hole so you can screw in 2 of the main screws on the front plate, but i just simply took one of the suppiled screws and screwed it in from the bottom and it went through like butter, you will see what i am talking about once you look at the instruction sheet.

Yeah it would.:cool:

E-maxx-kid Sylvester's right it is not too complicated but more involved than the E-maxx kit. one deviation from the instructions i would suggest:

Put the transmission on the X-braces first, because if you don't the long shafts and the fact that the transmission sits lower than the diff input will make installing the tranny last difficult.
