build

[jk6672]

Today I worked on my REVO project installing the MIP CVD's, 50k front diff, 10k rear diff, Lunsford ti rocker post and pivot balls, RPM arms, extreme racing battery kit, servo kit, Hot bodies rear brake disk and carbon pads (these are made for the jato), doing a little modifying of on an Associated RC10GT2 receiver box to house Hitec atom micro receiver and a OFNA micro fail safe.
I’m hoping the dog bone is this far out only because the GTR shocks are not attached to the rockers:

My first dye job (rockers):

Jato brake for rear brake:

battery kit / AE box:

servos:

Damn that Revo looks SHARP! I can't wait to dig some more funds out of my wallet to progress on my rig!

 

[jk6672]

I know people say stay away from the CF chassis, but I have one and I need a little advice. The steering servo slot is moved forward and I'm not sure how to set up the steering servo linkage. I don't think the stock linkage will work. Here are a few pictures and more.

That's a sexy sexy truck, what wheels are those?

Man that is one fine looking rig! I need to clean mine up! It's been used and abused in the last month!

 

[HPI-Killer]

Oh my god that is the hottest Revo I have seen in awhile! What are those wheels ans tires?

Also, what are links that are on your rockers to the tops of your shocks? (red link thingies lol)

Lol! I was wondering the same thing! I wanna strip everything off my revo and make the Chassis a different color too! I need a theme

Thanks, it’s my first build from the ground up and I can't wait to get it dirty! I pieced it together over two months. I still have to paint the lid, and I’m nervous about that venture.
The wheels are Maximizers.
The turnbuckles on top are Jato turnbuckles replacing the stock turnbuckles for the sway bar kit.

What'd u wrap the shocks with?

 

[jk6672]

shock socks. I picked them up off ebay from http://www.badhorsie.com

 

[hamz9561]

I have both the Bad Horsie shock socks and the Maximizer beadlocks on mine and really like them. I'm just wondering where your center skid plate is?

 

[jk6672]

Just didn't put it on yet in that picture, but it's on now.

[Gecko5678]

As long as you have 17mm hubs you're good.

 

[jk6672]

I'm not going to be able to use the Traxxas wing because of my exhaust choice. I'll post pictures later.

OK, I need to buy a throttle horn to complete my new era BB kit. Should I pick up a Traxxas horn or who makes a nice aftermarket throttle horn?

 

[Bkyd Basher]

Looks great.What color are u goin with on the body?

I want to do a black and silver two tone, if I can figure out the best way to mask off areas. Any suggestions, I'm all ears.

The only throttle mix horns I've see, besides the Traxxas, is a GH or RD concepts. Has anyone used a aftermarket horn and have anything good to say about them?

Oh yeah, should I use the motor saver filter or a ofna filter with the picco 28?
