general revo discussion

If you loosen the mounts (4 screws) where they go through the chassis, the mounts spread open slightly and there is just enough room to slide the star washers in.

It would go in, but you would have to make a custom throttle linkage for the rotary carb.

i think it comes with a slide carb? is there any power advantage?

CVRX won't fit because of the side exhaust. It would go out the middle. I've seen it done, but looks complicated and funny.

Yeah, I forgot about the side exhaust.

You can use a dab of grease to hold them star washers in place when installing the mount.

Thanks for the useful tech tip, Rich! I will try that if I ever have it apart again.

That wing should look familiar. Now I need a better looking shell.

Ryan wanted orange...so it's orange. I have a green Mugen as a spare, also.


And I haven't seen another orange one, so It's different.

Now do you really think I would post a picture that shows how crooked it is?

No one will be putting a level on it as it runs around the track tomorrow.

Has anyone noticed the rod going from the carb to the throttle servo flex? I installed a Teckno throttle/brake mount, eliminating the stock Revo box and noticed the rod really flexes/bowes when going full throttle. I never noticed this before, but again the stock Revo throttle/reverse servo box was blocking most of the rod. The carb seems to operate smooth without any binding but the rod really flexes. Just wondering if anyone else noticed the same thing?

Adjust the travel endpoint on your radio so it's not pushing or pulling too far and straining the carb or linkage.

I don't think it's a endpoint setting since it starts flexing before 1/2 throttle.

Mine does a little, but it doesn't bother me. I simply set my epa so that the carb opens 100%, even if it requires a little bend in the linkage.

Never gave me a problem.

Carb alignment adjustment relative to the linkages? Is it stock or something different? How strong is your return spring?

Didn't touch anything except swapping out the servo mount, return spring is the stock one that came with the Revo. One thing I did notice is the return spring was positioned a tiny bit higher than the factory box so maybe that little extra tension is causing the flex.
