Revo 3.3 extend length chassis

[CertifiedMike]

Well I finally got my steering links adjusted, 62.08 looks good. It's hard to capture everything in one picture and still get a close up of the links. Going by their manual, got a 7 degree off set on the one servo horn, 90° on the other. Got a little wiring clean up to do and let's go bashing. Lol

Looking good!!!
Looks pretty close to mine so you're likely close to factory at least.
Did you remember to center the servos before you put the arms on?

Have fun bashing!!!

And we got rotation and we got fire and we got a running Revo 2.5 half ass repinched engine. I would upload a video, haven't figured that how to out yet

So I noticed my steering servos moving on their own after I got it running and ready to take it outside for my 1st run. Damn servos are acting all drunk and stuff doing whatever they want to do, mainly trying to turn into each other pulling the front wheels towards the chassis. Damn stability control thingy. It was set at 49% i just turned it off, so what's the deal with this system? I know we're supposed to set to zero if doing any crazy jumping, what is a good setting just to keep my non driving abilities in a straight line when I take off?

I don't know anything about stability control
That must be on a newer model or something.
Is it still a Traxxas system?

Yes it's the TQI radio system, I upgraded the original cube relay remote setup to what is in the newer Rc's. I'll post a video once I get it outside.

Yeah, beyond my years with Traxxas.

It sounds like 1 chnl of the stability control needs to be reversed but I know next to nothing about these systems.

Set it on the ground. I can’t be certain but, I think it’s acting up because the wheels are turning so easily. I don’t think it’s even needed on a revo they are so stable.

The system is supposed to help keep the car straight during acceleration and high speed runs. Set it on the ground and try it.

None of my RCs have stability anything... not even a stable driver!
I would just leave it off too.

It was just parked on the carpet inside, all I did was start the engine for a couple seconds before I took it outside, I understand the system is to help keep stable when taking off. Where i need the most help, along with keeping it straight going down the rode I'm all over the place.

Got a question about the Crankshaft and critical dimensions. Does anyone know the OD of the connecting rod pin on the Crankshaft? New connecting rod has what I think is a lot of play. I would hate to ruin a new sleeve and piston because of a worn Crankshaft

I would get rid of the stability all together to see if that is causing your steeting issue from the get-go. After that, if its still happening, look for loose everything... all steering, bearings, control arm damage etc... My revo was no F1 car but it drove straight enough.
