After seeking some advice and speaking to the guys at schulze i decided a bigger speedy was the go, so i went with the future-xl-40.160WK. Here is a photo of it compared to the 24.150

As i said earlier i wanted a mechanical brake setup if for nothing else because it looks cool.
I ended up with 4 wheel disc brakes that function very well and have no trouble pulling the truck up. I still need to do some more testing to decide if i will keep them or not.

Here is how it all actuates

I still need to trim the wires and crimp the ends once the brakes are adjusted for bias. At the moment they are adjusted for full lock front and rear.

And to finish off here are a couple of photos of my DM 1

Very Impressive

Awesome work ! I love the mechanical brake setup Did you made it or bought it ?

[suicideneil]

God damn that incinerator unit/esc is huge!

Looks awesome though, nice job

EDIT: wtf-mech brakes on a revo? Got any more info or a link to what you used for those?

The brake kits are for a BAJA and i modified them to fit. The company that makes them is, well inXXXXtgy sorry don't know if i can say that word here.
In order to get them to fit i had special hubs made up that are 24mm hex to start with, drop down to 17mm hex for the rims and than the standard traxxas thread. I noticed how much the standard traxxas hubs wear when i first ran the truck so those hubs are an interference fit. If you didn't put the retaining pin through it would still turn and the wheels would not come off, in fact with out a hammer you wont get those hubs on or off.
I also had the cable holders made up, everything is made from 7075

Here's a link http://www.integy.com/st_prod.html?p...94&p_catid=126, you will also need a very strong servo, http://www.hitecrcd.com/servos/show?name=HS-7950TH i use one for steering as well. The cable are all shimano racing bike cables as the stock ones are very average.

I stripped the motor down and used oven cleaner. I was very careful and used an old toothbrush to lightly agitate. Than i put the motor back together and buffed with dremel, steel wool, billet polish and microfibre cloth.

Hey Neil you should check out the schulze website and see the 40.300WK. Its twice as wide and comes with its own metal heat sink case. It is one big speedy.

Man this ride is sick!!

Any movies of this beast ? It must haul ass!

SV, would there be any possibility of getting a set of those hubs and cable holders? I'd love a set of those on my BPP Lightning Stadium and possibly my E-Revo as well.

Edit: How much of a PITA is it to adjust the camber since the disc is blocking it? Also, how is the caliper fixed to the knuckle? Its kinda hard to tell.

I only had the one set of hubs made, the cable holders are off the brake kit and the caliper is fixed directly to the hub. Adjusting the camber isnt to bad but it does require taking the disc off. That means undoing the two screws that hold the brake shoes onto the caliper. So not too bad really. If it really becomes a PITA i will just drill a hole in the disc at the right spot
