BL Revo

[Dafni]

Never had glitches, nor cogging.

Antenna is where it is because there's a handy place to mount it. Should post a close up.

He dafni! can you write out the instructions to convert the revo? Y dont you use those battery trays, that the other people put on their revo instead of those 2 peices of metal.

[Dafni]

Batt trays, well. Tons of room for improvement, true. I always liked those slot designs!

The bent alu trays work well, too.
Instead of those cut E-Maxx chassis, I would go for TF trays. They are nice, and hold 7 cells. But I'll stay alu there.

Instructions to convert it my way, hmmm? Let's see. I wish the day had more hours.
But we'll come up with something as detailed instructions in due time.

tf trays? links?

I converted my revo to bl the same way dafni did his its pretty easy. I went to the hardware store and bought angled aluminum for the battery trays. take some battery with you or at least mesure them to get the right size aluminum part. I got 4in angled al. Total time to do it right took about 1 day maybe a little less. Tip when you bend the al tabs bend it slow so it wont break.

was ot really THAT easy? If i cant convert it, how bout i pay you to do it? lol

[rchippie]

It was pretty easy for me because i'm the man:eek: LOL!!.
Seriously it was fairly easy for me because dafni sent me a link to some really detailed pics.

Yes those are the pics. With out them i could not have converted my revo to a evo.

[nbcaznmaster]

uhh...all i see are the TF trays.

[Dafni]

Well, check the Members Projects at www.lsarc.com
There you'll find the Revoxx thread, altough I think there are basically just the same pics as here on page 1 and 2.

The conversion is pretty straight forward, with still lots of room for improvements. Feel free to ask me if you have a question.

when you put itn in first gear, does it flip alot and stuff. Should i just lock it in 2nd gear? I could then use 2 servos for steering and dont have to worry about modifiying one of them so it can shift the gear.

[Dafni]

Well, I guess it's the same as with Maxxes. If you run BL you don't really need 2 gears. One is fine. If you want, you can always flip a BL MT onto its lid. Altough such wheelie tricks require some traction.

Modifying a servo? You mean to make a mount?
