My Race Revo

JUST POST THE CAR!!!!!!!!!! lol

[suicideneil]

Just spent the last 3 hours reading through all your E-revo threads etc and assimilatiing all the detail and pictures; you got skills boy (understatement of the century). Any new pics of the truck? Though I find it hard to believe you could improve it any further.....

[Dafni]

Thank you for the kind words, Neil. No new pics at the moment, BUT: I got the okay from the Monster to post some! I will snap some new ones, and post some I took during the last rebuild too.
I hated not sharing it, but that's the thing about testing. And I haven't expected people to ask me for new pics either. Next time I should just build a new one :)

Anyway, pics will follow soon. But here's a list of the goodies. Most are custom made, the extension and "tranny" were done by Mike and me.

-custom extended rear plates, for 1/8 scale dimensions
-6mm Titanium pushrods and turnbuckles, homegrown
-1/8 scale diffs, 3 of them :)
-revo slipper, AKA Slipperential, with nice motor mount.
-rear sway bar, homegrown
-custom wing mounting plate
-flextek arms with custom bushings
-RD Racing axle carriers and 23mm hex-nuts

That's about it, I think. Stay tuned for pictures!

And i can promise you;

It will look STUNNING! it's not a vehicle.. It's a high tech precision Swiss instrument

[Dafni]

Thank you Rene! You only ever saw fragments, though. I hope you'll like the complete one just as much.

[Sylvester]

Damn daf! Sounds similar to some of my ideas! Is Mike gonna carry those homegrown 6mm pushrods/turnbuckles ?

[Dafni]

I never asked Mike about pushrods/turnbuckles, I made them here. No doubt he could do them, but I don't think there's a real market. People seem to be very happy with the currently available options, such as Lunsford, Traxxas or those CF ones.

Okay, now for some pics. I made these during the last big rebuild, when most of the stuff was still new.
Please ignore things like the toe settings and the generall lack of dirt. :)

First some details:


The titanium rods and turnbuckles. When I still had the RD Logics knuckles.


The new RD Racing stuff.


The rear sway bar, note the extended plates too. (I had to put some extra stand-offs under them in the meantime)


The sexy motor mount. Gear mesh is set from below, nitro-style. The whole mount can slide from side to side.

Now some complete shots!







I will try to shoot some fresh pics too. The slipperential I tested held up fine so far, the diffs too. Along the way I bent two gorilla front skid plates, they are just weak by design. One is bent slightly, the other severe. Let's hope the new ones will be better.

LOL, I just had to quote that

[rchippie]

Dafi your truck looks great .

[Serum]

Yeah, stunning!

Can't wait to test the new slipperential!!

it's a work of art..

It's one TALL MTF daff!

Super AWESOME dafni!

You should sand blast the springs so that they are sliver and dye the rubber boots black!

what is the weight on this beast? Also what esc and lipos are you going to run?(flightpower?)

*EDIT*

I forgot :004: :004: :004: :004: :004:

[Dafni]

It runs on a Lehner 1950/6 or 8, Mamba Max esc, and 2 TrackPower packs. I use the Maxamps 8000 on there too. I have a mount for the Quark too.

I want to keep the springs red and the boots blue, to keep a bit of a revo feeling :)

Dafni do you have good luck with that motor & esc combo ?. I could'nt get the MM & 7XL to work in my buggy.

So far the MM does a fine job, maybe the cold weather helps. Let's see how it does when it gets warmer around here.
