P5 in a Revo. EB Modded P5 in a Revo. :drool: I like it. Nice job Gabe can't wait to see it at the races this Sunday. That thing has got to have insane HP.

I guess I'm going to have to put the screws to the Supermaxx Predator this week and get it tuned and race ready. I have done very little to keep the Predator running so I guess now is a good time to check it over.
It's been the ultimate in durability and reliability so it shouldn't need anything other than a good running engine.

Modded P5 in a revo is over kill. You wont have much steering with it in there, the wheels will be in the air all the time. good luck. Cant wait to see it.

I hear ya brudda! I'm going to have to be easy on throttle and steer hard off power.

An extended chassis will help imensely. I'm also running the rear a bit stiffer so it'll push the fronts down some at 1/4 power through turns. who knows, we'll see.

I need to switch the gearing from 16T CB to a 17T CB and that will also help alot.

As far as it being sooo modded and not having parts when I break at a race, could be a problem, depending on what I break.

I'm also thinking diffs, driveshafts, and tranny aren't going to last long if I start driving it lead fingered.

:joy:

Its all in fun experimenting and trying new things out. At least you can say I have a BB Revo.

Tex with throttle control, I'd like to see that....J/K

[Tex]

oh....and I just made some lexan shields for the rear lower a-arms/driveshafts (like the supermaxx shields if you've seen those) I also made one for the chassis where I removed the throttle servo box.

Looks kinda cool and it'll make the truck easier to clean between races.

Very nice tex! Can't wait to see the truck on sunday!

You definately need a 17t clutch bell. Racers Edge makes a good narrow one. You might want to think of adding 1.5-2 ozs. of weight in the nose. I use 1 oz. on my short chassis and that works very well. I tried 2 oz. but it was too much with the TZ might be better with a BB though.

When/where's the next race after this coming weekend?

[Tex]

So Tex, how much $$$ did you invest on top of the base Revo? Sorry, had to ask.

lol :bustingup

we'll leave it at that.







Naw, total including revo would be $1500+ 35 hours of modding and building.

I think I payed like $1000 for everything because I bought some used stuff.

I don't need any narrow CB's or anything. I modded it to fit a full size 1/8 scale CB.

Any 1/8 scale buggy motor/pipe/clutch will drop right on my revo.

your right I'm due for 17T cb very soon, prolly not before the next DD race though.

I think I can control wheelies with throttle control but after watching the way it's in flight "air manners" are then I'll decide if weight needs to be added anywhere. For all we know it may uncontrolably nose down off jumps. Plus my rear shocks have more preload on them than normal so that will attempt to pop the back wheels up off any jumps. My main reason for the preload in the rear shocks is for better on-power steering, it will play a part in "air manners" also. I'm not going to just add weight before testing the truck on a racetrack.

I'm not sure of any organized races after the 9th at Dave's. Berwyn bash is coming, although no technical racing will take place, we will be draggin' in the grass and parking lot with radar runs taking place.

[satoch]

I have an Ofna 17t bell for you Gabe.

[Tex]

I'll gladly take it next time I see you!

[Obsessive R/C]

Sounds awsome Gabe...now I won't be the only BB Revo around. Get some pics up!!

[Tex]

Get some pics up!!

I wish I could!

I have binoculars with a 2.1 mb digi camera. I wonder if thad work if I stood like 50ft away!

[Obsessive R/C]

What header/ pipe are you using?? I bought the Trinity but the big tube header wont clear the rear body mount.

[Tex]

I run a OS 2050 one piece pipe/header mounted on the throttle side of the chassis......wicked

[Obsessive R/C]

And to think, I thought my VZB would be killer...I can't imagine that P5

[Tex]

your VZB will be killer! We need to drag race.

[Michowski]

count me in for that. definatly be cool to see how these new .18's are compared to race proven .21's
