Yay! It's finally done!

I have a Strobe slipper on back-order from Mike, but was able to snatch the last one at hobbyshopnj.com and now my Revo is finally complete. When Mike's arrives, I'll just have a spare for maybe another version, or if I somehow mess this one up. :)

All I have to say is: Wow! It's crazy fast and powerful! I'm using 51/14 and it's pretty quick - way faster/stronger than the stock Nitro 2.5R, even with the fact that this Revo is heavy. Count me as a brand new BL convert!

I may need to order some more slipper pads though. :dft001: I thought they were tight, but they weren't and now have some wear to them. I have the slipper quite tight now and even lightly sanded the plates so they grab better. And yes, I cleaned the grease out of the bearing. :)

Runtime isn't bad either. In my yard doing general bashing, I got around 25ish minutes on 14 GP3300 cells. Doesn't cog unless I try to go REALLY slow (<5mph).

Temps of motor and ESC was warm at about 120*F, the batteries at about 90*F. I noticed everything was cooler when running at high speed. Only at low speed (5-10mph) did things reach those temps. Is this normal?

I'll try to snap a final picture and post it later tonight.
