general revo discussion

[kevinF]

Damn your signiture is obnoxious Kevin!!!
Congrats on the revo 3.3!

Mitch I think Dave was saying to set up a 2.5 revo and a 3.3 revo the same way and see which one your faster with.

lol, ok ill change it...................ok

[Michowski]

Well I just got a traxxas center diff and all the 3.3 and option parts. Got the chassis, brakes, linkage, center diff, new trans case all comming in the mail probly wednesday. Anyone going to leisure thursday for practice? I think I am. Got some 120weight diff oil comming as well. Cant wait to see the difference.

[Ponch]

Like 120 or 120k I hope?

[Michowski]

120k. I didnt pay anything near 120 lol. O hell no lmao. From reading your other thread il help you figure the price . Add 100, then subract 50, add 20, then subract 100 and you get a little higher then what I payed lol.

[Ponch]

So...$90? 120+100=220-50=170+20=190-100=90.

[Michowski]

yup

[Ponch]

Wow...All that for $90?

Can I get the part #'s for that stuff so I can order it offa amain? I hate thier search function. It never works for me.

[Michowski]

has anyone ever tried the teckno reciever and fuel tank mount?

[Ponch]

I heard the battery pack sits too low and messes with starter box alignment.
They had one for sale at LH today but it got sold.

[Michowski]

Im not mounting my battery there, just the were abouts of were the fuel tank actually sits and if you can modify it at all. Were tekno has there reciever box I need the fuel tank directly against it in order to mount my battery pack in the stock fuel tank location. I dont feel like blowing 30 bucks not knowing if its gonna work or not

[Ponch]

So....From the back of the chassis you want it to be battery-fuel tank-receiver box?

[Michowski]

yup. Thats how it is now but I want it to look like a clean mod and I think the tekno mount will probly work

[Ponch]

Welp give it a try and if it doesn't work sell it!

[Mr. Tune]

mich, i got the techno batter/rx mount on order . I was shopping on amain last night for some tires and foams and stumble across it while browsing around. Looks pretty nice, so I'm gonna try it. They say the battery will sit 15mm lower than stock for improved CG, so it looks like I'm gonna find out the hard way if it'll work with the rd box.

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

Can anyone tell me if the new 3.3 Revo uses the same bulkheads and diffs as the old Revo?

[Michowski]

there the same, only difference between the 2 is the 3.3 comes with a bigger motor, wide ratio, p2 rockers, and extended chassis. Other then that there the same truck.

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

Thanks Ryan!

[kevinF]

I just bought some diff oil.......I bought 30,000 for the front and 10,000 for the rear...is that the correct # in oil??

also how long should i boil my mugen wing for??

thanks kevin

[Michowski]

Dont boil the wing, the mugen wing is already really flexible to begin with. You got the right diff fluids. 30 up front and 10 in the rear.

[kevinF]

k sweet thanks michowski.

yeah I noticed that the wing was really flexible, but just wanted to know if i should stillboil it or not.

thanks again, kevin

[Ponch]

Yep that wing is super flexy right outta the bag.

[Michowski]

I already said that

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

That Mugen wing is really flexible.....

[kevinF]

lol, yeah the wing is really flexy.....

thanks again guys

[Traxxas_Junkee]
