This post is for you to give me ideals on what I can do to make this new Revo 3.3 fast.
So I just ordered a new Revo 3.3 and waiting on it to come in. I also ordered lots of new parts as well. Here is the list of things I have gotten.
HR 34t mod1 spur gear.
Tekno 18t mod1 clutch bell. There is a 19t mod1 clutch bell. These will make it slow on take off. But remember I am going for top speed.
LRP Works 33.5mm 3 shoe clutch. Looking at REDS 4 shoe system. I did order a BuKu Clutch system but I don't think they are in business. Web site is up. but did not here from them on my order. I will give it a few more weeks and see if it comes in.
Traxxas Summit Left side axle x2 for the rear. There wont be any axles in the front as this will be 2WD only. Summit axles are way stronger then the Revos. Don't want steel. they will be heavy. Weight reduction is on the list as well.
Powerhobby 1/8 gripper tires for the Arrma Felony. 17mm
RPM True Track Rear A-Arms
Traxxas Sway Bar kit.
ProLine Rat Rod Body.
Helical Spiral Diff Ring/Pinion.
ProLine Extended Body mounts for the Revo 3.3
Traxxas Summit CV Stud axle x2, its all steel and to hold the front Wheels on.
Traxxas Slayer Pro Receiver/battery box.
Killer RC Killer Bee Kill switch. Don't want run aways.
StirlingKit remote start. I like pushing a button on my remote to start my cars.
For now I am going to keep the 3.3 and see what happens. I might get the OS .21 TM later on. I plan on removing front/rear bumpers, one servo on the steering, the opti drive and change out the revo receiver/battery box for the Slayer Pro. Going to use 4 AA battery as they will be lighter. Only need them to run passes. Not sure what I need to do on the front diff. Need it in for the brakes. As the brakes are on the front drive shaft. I got a friend that has a 3D printer. Maybe make a spacer of some kind to fill in for the Ring and spider gears to hold the pinion in place to hold the front drive shaft in place. Make it sit as low to the ground as I can and some kind of good shock set up with little travel. I can get a steel plate for the under side. That will help to keep the air from lifting the car up at high speed. but add weight. Or maybe not.
Going with the Rat Rod body, Love Rat Rods. Had a few. I know some one will tell me to get a full body. Aerodynamics and all. but Indy cars are open wheel base and they do well. Don't mean I won't go with a Slash wide body though.
Maybe some one has already done this before and can give me some advice on what I can do. The big things are keeping it light, but not to light to where it flies away, and making it as low to the ground. A good shock system. Maybe other good gear setups. I do have other spur gears and clutch bells I can try. Any ideals on trans and motor combos? Hopefully you guys can give me more ideals. I will take lots of pictures and post them here as I go along. I plan on making videos too and setting up some kind of youtube thing to post the videos so you all can see how this project it coming along.
Well the Revo comes in next week, and I already got most of the parts I ordered. Got a spot in my garage set up to do this. Got a good cell phone with a great camera on it to take pictures and make some videos. I am not a video guy or edit guy. So I don't know how the videos will come out. I see many on youtube that look very bad. I will try my best to make it look good.
I know some one will tell me to get the Traxxas X0-1 or some other car if I want to do speed runs or to have a very fast car. I don't want a RTR. I want to build some thing and to modify it. To do my own things. I have 1:1 cars that I race and play with, my baby is my 84 Camaro Z28. It has an 388 stroker, 6 speed trans, 4:10s it is a 10 second car. I am pushing 60 and looking to play with smaller cars. I love to build things and modify them. I hope this post works out and people chip in and enjoy this project.
Thanks to those who read this, and supper thanks to those who post.
