in the knuckles where the pivot ball is

Oh... ok. I haven't had that problem yet. I will check it out but can't help you as of now.

You can use Teflon tape or pick up some of the UE pillowball retainers to hold them in place.
UE's have a o-ring that keeps them locked in place.

teflon tape...isnt that like plumbers tape? could that work?

the rdracing axel carriers that has that fixed it has srews that you can tighten so they they don'e come loose. But they are kinda expensive, but i guess you could drill and use some screws to hold your castles in place

Anybody using the RPM axle carriers and oversize bearings?

ok so im trying to decide should i get one of those airplane starters and put a wheel on it to bump start my revo b/c im getting realli sick of this p/s. ive seen it done before with other types of r/c's like rc10's and an 1/8 scale... it would be alot cheaper but would it be hard to use im trying to decide since i might have my buggy sold so ill be getting spek and have some leftover pocket change lol srry for the long post but i want some more opinions on it before i go and buy one.
01-26-2006, 08:09 PM
or pick up a used 1/10 box and make a little block to put inside of it like I did on mine. I then reversed the direction of the wheel, did a little trimming on the top and whamo. Revo starter box. (I guess the box was included when I bought an RC10GT from my friend a while back but I never picked it up... therfore it seemed free. LoL. Ended up costing me about $20 if you look at it this way)
01-26-2006, 08:15 PM
well i have a sb but its going with my buggy...
01-26-2006, 10:09 PM
ok...this might seem like a stupid question but i gotta ask it.
i didnt wanna pay the money for a starter box cuz i prolly wont race much. so i traded out some parts sitting around for a ez-start setup. how would i go about turning my revo from bumpstart back to rotostart? its bruces old revo and i wanted to get a starter....but i just dont have the money and i just didnt wanna spend that sort of money to get it running...i might do it at a later date. but if someone could walk me through turning it back to ez-start thatd be great.
01-26-2006, 10:13 PM
I can't walk you through it but could show you at the bash saturday or race sunday... (I have some of the EZ start parts if you are missing anything. The only thing is that the wires are cut because I was to lazy to unbolt them all so I cut and pulled them out. Everything else is intact.)
01-26-2006, 10:18 PM
you can't change a bumpstart engine back to manual start unless you buy a new crankshaft. You might as well buy a new 2.5r off ebay. OR buy a junked 2.5 and steal the crank out of it.

Oh that's right because you need to cut it to get the non PS non EZstart backplate in. Forgot that I just learned that today... better get a box. Or get a old 1/10 box that I can mod up for you...
01-26-2006, 10:19 PM
i got a 2.5 crank for ez start if you want it. Il be at leisure hopefully sunday
01-26-2006, 10:19 PM
WAIT... what is the motor?? how much fuel on it. Maybe I will be a nice guy and trade with you....
I missed Ryan's post... or get that crank and go that route...
01-26-2006, 10:23 PM
its a stock Revo 2.5r, idk how much fuel on it...ask bruce its the one i got from him. i havent run it at all...mich ima pm you about the crank. i might go with the 1/10 box and mod it....i will prolly do that. we'll see...if anybody has a 1/10 box for sale thatd be sweet.
01-26-2006, 10:24 PM
And ryan... out of curiosity... would the crank be coming out of the new motor because it will be switched to bump start??
01-26-2006, 10:49 PM
no the motor i bought already comes with a cut crankshaft and bumpstart backplate. This crankshaft is just from a shot 2.5 i got.
01-26-2006, 10:51 PM
Gotcha... how much was the new motor with cut shaft and everything??
01-26-2006, 10:53 PM
I want to put it against the XTM motor side by side to see the pros and cons...
If I need to run a linkage to a rotary carb how would I do that?? |
