Glad you like it. I'm rather fond of it myself. I think a picture update would be in order, this truck gets better every week!
Now it has a black RCM heatsink, btw.

Yeah, the driveshafts, I started with Maxx shafts. I just cut some front/rear Maxx shafts to the right lenght and bought some Maxx yokes. Held up fine, no problems at all.
Then I modified the front shaft with a one-way bearing, still Maxx stuff. No problems either.
At the moment I run custom made Titanium Dogbones in MIP cups, looks absolutely bulletproof, and stylish too. Ask Mike about them.

Like I said, I should get some new pics. Compliantguy, have you seen the pics on page 2?
Hey, a Plett Maxximum is what I always dreamed of, but I've never been a friend of Schultze. I always thought I'll wait for another controller before I buy the Plett.
Now I changed my dreams, and one day I would like tu run a Lehner 1940-7 on a 120 amp warrior. But in the meantime I'll get a Lehner Basic XL.

What battery configuration do you plan to use? My setup proved good, so far. I can run it on asphalt (on RoadRages) and never had one single traction roll!! It's MUCH more stable than my stock Maxx. I love its driving characteristics.
Up until now I had a bit of a trouble finding the right gearing for my Feigao, but other than that, the design works great. I also like the absence of the chunky plastic boxes, they just spoil the sleek look, IMHO.

Have fun with your project, and keep us updated.
I am tinkering with the V2.0 of the Revoxx, and originally I wanted to sell V1.0 to get another BL. But at the moment I think I will keep both and turn the first one into a low-geared, twin brushy Crawler type-of-thingy to play around in my backyard.

Feel free to ask whatever you like, glad if I can be of some help.
