Project Darth Revo has begun...

[FreeRideFrosty]

Ponch and I both ran cut reciever boxes but did it different ways. There is no real rule as it is customization to each persons individual truck. Just really analyze what you are doing, check to make sure there will still be good mounting points, and carefully cut once.

[Ponch]

^^^ What he said.

I went thru about 2 rec. boxes finding a way I liked. I ended up with just the battery compartment, and made a scrap peice of plastic as a lid for it. Then I shoegooed the receiver to the top of the box.

Here's how I ended up liking my revo's boxes best;



Feel free to copy

[FreeRideFrosty]

That is about how I had mine. If I had to do it again I would mount the battery where the receiver is, the reciever on top of that, run the steering servo where that battery is, and then run the throttle servo where the steering servo is in that picture. A bit cleaner that way IMO but I am not sure about the weight balance.....

man its a good thing those things are sooo awesome....makes all that work seem...worthless hahahah

[Meatwad]

question is the associated buggy gonna break as much as the ttr jfwy

[FreeRideFrosty]

Dude.... Mikes TTR almost never breaks. He plowed a landing ramp before his motor was warmed up and that was about it. As much shit as we give him the TTR is actually pretty damn tough....

[Meatwad]

did ya notice the jfwy

[FreeRideFrosty]

It blends in with the sentences that don't really make much sense. Oh.... and I was J.F.W.Y. ;-)

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

funny thing tho dan, my 800$ truck breaks just about once to ur 4000$ trucks 8 or was it 10 c hubs?

TTT



oh ya jfwy....

[FreeRideFrosty]

[FreeRideFrosty]

Hahahaha!!! Nice one. Yeah... that time I actually was.:p:

[Meatwad]

my truck has its own thread thats so cool how many people can say that

[FreeRideFrosty]

Just about EVERY big race vehicle has had it's own thread on here. Jerry has one for his, Rob has one for his BASH truck.... there have been plenty. And Tune's truck has a thread.... not yours. Your job is to just not screw it up. ;-)

Hell Czech even has one. It's the TTR thread in the offroad section.... he has to talk to himself though because he is the only one that runs one....

[Meatwad]

so mine now. its gonna be a shelf queen as of the summer

[FreeRideFrosty]

so mine now. its gonna be a shelf queen as of the summer

WHY??? You have barely even run it.....

[Meatwad]

cause im gettin a buggy and i think by the time we go outside ill know how to drive. so ill focus on buggy. lol my i cant make up my mind

[Traxxas_Junkee]

Just run MT, you have a great truck that is all set up. All you need is a new buggy that is not set up and will screw up your driving.

[Meatwad]

im not driving the buggy until oudoor

[Traxxas_Junkee]

OK, so do you think you are going to get good in the few months that are left of indoor season? Once you get good, (I'm not going to say really good) but once you can get around the track pretty good then you can try another class, but if you try to switch too soon then I don't think its going to be the best for you.

[FreeRideFrosty]

He really doesn't get it..... you can't compare indoor drving to outdoor. Saying you will be a good driver by outdoor with a completely different vehicle with completely different track conditions is just not realistic. Run the revo. It is perfectly set up for racing. Why get something that is going to be nothing but discouraging to start racing outdoor with??

[Meatwad]

i know me and dan already had this talk. im gonna run the eight around the house until im good with the revo

I tried telling him that. I waited twice as long as him to swtich and it was still way too soon. I could probably be a better driver now, even with my limited track time, if I had just picked a class and stuck with it.......
