My Race Revo

[Dafni]

Thank you Lucky, I knew you'd like it. 2000 post, eh? Nice. I don't post as much as I used too... I rember when there were 50 members :eek:

Yes Rene, this might become the 07 sceme for my own cars. But I can't take full credit for the design... saw something very similar on the web. (Slim, I hope we're cool :) )

Jhautz, you forgot patience and a steady hand :) Thank you!

Oh my.... :004: :004: :004:

The rims and body look so awesome!! :027:

Truly a work of art:004:

I do hope you intend to flogg a few custom painted shells like that on feebay, it would help us untalented folks sooo much. That is a very tight design too- especially with the matching wheels, nice.....

My lord Daf, an amazing machine, this is by far the nicest race trucks ive EVER seen. How do you like the Trakpowers in there? What turn is that 1950/? How'd you paint those rims, they are purrrdyy! :)

Hey Dafni,
Great work, truly great.

Especially I like your sway bar approach, but why it is on back? I thought front and back or front only, not otherwise.

P.S. Somehow I missed this thread...

I actually thought they were stickers. I have seen stickers made for rims just like those.

Dafni's are different, but here is an example of these stickers I speak of.

Griffin, thank you. I really don't know what others like to drive, but in my buggy I like the sway bar in the front real thin. And on those few truggies I could drive, I felt I liked them better with no sway bar at all in the front.
Rear only works well for me on this truck. Like I said, I wanted to have as mucch on power steering as possible... now the truck turns extremly well.

Thank you Silvester! The Trackpowers are actually not bad at all :) LOL, they rock man. They are light, and have some serious power.
On this 4S truck, I swap between a 1950/6 and a 1950/8. The 8 for backyard fun, geared for 30... the 6 for track time, geared for 35-ish. But this is mainly because when I go to a track, I want to put the 8 in my 5S buggy. And the 6 is just too much for the backyard. Not much track time this summer yet, obviously.
The yellow/red wheels are dyed yellow with an airbrushed red ring, and the fronts are just white with painted blue... sealed it up with some clear lacquer stuff... let's see if they hold up, but I doubt it.

Thank you
DAF

Wicked truck Daf! Love the paintwork....wheels included!

[Dafni]

Thank you! Let's hope the paint on the wheels holds up some.

I need some setup help: I never had a MT that oversteers on-power. This one simply has too much steering response, I tried everything I could think of. Revo set-up gurus, any advice??

Interesting Daf;

Have you played with chamfer/caster/toe in? front/rear?

weight ballance?

Things for more traction in corners;

softer anti-rol bar
more toe-in
less possitive camber in front gives you less grip in front
more possitive rear camber gives you less change of traction rolling
Less (smaller angle) caster in front gives you less steering
