Update on the Slipperential Revo - 02.09.2008, 09:50 PM

Ok, did a few things to the revo with the center slipper/diff. I had Artur (griffinru) mod a MM for me. He did the stage 1 mod. So I put that in and added a ccbec. Got rid of the chinese crap bec that was causing some interference. I also bought a pair of trakpower lipos to replace my maxamps 5k 2s packs. Well I can say that the trakpower packs put out a lot more juice than the maxamps packs did. I ran the truck as it was, same everything except the new lipos. Big difference. Then I swapped in the modded MM and the new bec. Steering improved thanks to the ccbec. The modded esc is also smoother and runs much cooler, 25deg f at least. I can now say that I need to put some thicker fluid in the center diff, as the front tires grow to nearly double size on hard acceleration. Good stuff!

I also have a hacker 7xl motor coming for this truck, we will see the difference in power and temps between the two. I also feel like I can gear it down slightly, as the top speed is a bit too fast. I will do that before swapping in the hacker and see how it goes.

I can definately say that trakpower lipos are superior to the maxamps, and the same price. And griffinru's mods are well worth the price too! Plus the ccbec is superior to the generic becs in performance and the adjustability is nice. I have 6 of the ccbec in various vehicles and have no complaints.
