new era

[brandon13]

I'm putting an lrp 28 in my revo and from the way people are talking it sounds like a new era bb mount is the way to go. Where do i even find one? already searced ebay

Keep searching. Don't get confused and buy a new era picco .26 mount, you'll be disappointed.

They are very hard to come by these days. I sold one a year ago and people were fighting over it like crazy. Like 2 Revo said.... just keep looking. One will pop up eventually.

I got mine off eBay for 20 bucks a few weeks ago. I still check eBay to see if another one pops up.

would the traxxas bb mount fit a .28 lrp?

Email them and ask them when there next batch will be done. I have this mount in my revo

would the traxxas bb mount fit a .28 lrp?

No, unless you want to run a non-pullstart with starter box. Their BB mount is for starter box engines only.

Olds, don't you also have to mod the left rear A-Arm as well to run the Traxxas mount?

 

[olds97_lss]

Don't know for sure as I have the NE one and to my knowledge, it's the only truly universal BB mount without doing anything else.

I had to call and ask Frank DeSimone if he could build one for my MGT 3.0 big block project and he did.Only took him a couple of days.He called me when it was done and I paid with c.c. over the phone.Here is New Era's# 1-603-888-4453.Just call and for Frank DeSimone,this is his email address for [email protected] this helps.

These will be readily available from me in a the next week or two

 

[olds97_lss]

Good to hear. I kind of wanted to fiddle with my linkage since I was on vaca this week, but there will be a lot of time between when your done using my mount until I actually would run it in the spring.

At least I had time to go over my rig and realize I had busted both front/rear bulkheads, fried bearings in RPM carriers, fried bearings in both diffs and a few other neglected items. can't believe the ring/pinion gears are still holding up.

 

[ausher]

Racer 1966 got a price on it? I'm thinking of building up another BB revo.

 

[brandon13]

these will be readily available from me in a the next week or two

price please!?!?!

 

[brandon13]

is there any other type of mount out there that would work? I've called and emailed new era evrytime i call no one answers and I've sent 3 emails and i get no response

 

[wildwilly420]

I use the Ofna mount.And only problem I have ever had was when I used a 40t spur gear and cut my air filter..I currently run 17/36 and no problems.The New Era mount gives you room for more gear combinations.You can Dremel the holes out a little on the Ofna mounts and have a little more movement.

I have a friend with a big block revo conversion, he used the traxxas conversion. He dremeled the chassis some how so he could run a roto start and he is running a axial .32 on his. i will try and find out exactly how he did it. i to am wanting to build a BB revo. I hate starter box's.

 

[brandon13]

Ya I was thinking about trying the traxxas mount and using whatever to get it to fit

 

[EXTREME1]

you can also take a lil out of the bulkheads to slide the rear arms back bout 1/4 inch

 

[chickenman242]

What if you use the extended wheelbase arms, would that give you enough clearance
