A couple of more things on the 3.3r

[Revo Rancher]

No mention if the new extended rear arms will work, but it comes with P2 rockers and arms already installed.

Also, there is a new motor mount brace that appears like it would be the same and work for the regualr chassis for anyone that has stress cracks ro breakage there. Some serious bashers have noticed this problem. It is part number 5361. Here is a parts link:

Also, a pic of an aseembled optional trans with the diff and dual rear brake set up installed:

i just talked to traxxas and they say the motor will be availible before the revo is as in go ahead and get in line for the motkr now for the exchange.as for the other parts like the brace and stuff will have to wait till the revo is out.

 

[Revo Rancher]

I spoke with someone that will pick up their engine this Friday. They went through Tower, but Tower's site does not show it in stock.

I think I will wait for the aftermarket parts to start flowing in and make a few adjustments to my short WB Revo such as the engine brace and the center diff. I suspect the center diff alone will cause me to lose rear brakes, so I have to re-engineer something. Any ideas?

Actually, no. Take a look at the link from above. The center diff is inside the current trans case, so it doesn't even look like you would loose the 2 speed... and they have adapted brakes onto the rear of the trans case. Looks kind of cheezy (kind of like an afterthought) compaired to the rest of the revo...

I read up on it a little and it doesn't say much about second gear,,,it does say you need an FOC on the Revo though. I'm really interrested in the center diff and the 3.3...just going to wait and see how they work out.

 

[Revo Rancher]

Olds, I have to disagree. The diff, although an internal diff should negate any of the action of the front brakes. I guess we will have to wait and see. You have been around these things longer than me, so I doubt I am right!

 

[olds97_lss]

I don't mean the diff is cheezy, just the look of the rear brakes. They don't look that stable...

Center Diff/Rear Brake

I have a Revo 3.3 and installed both the center diff (forward only) and rear brake after thoroughly trashing reverse. :lick: Haven't had a chance to run them yet but it should help the truck stop even faster without nosing over onto the roof.
