I got a Revo basket case from Hobbytown to repair. The kid stacked it up and bent the chassis. Decided to try and fix it himself and gave up. I'm 60% into this mess and poop aint right...

With my thumb up my ass trying figure out why the drive shafts arent long enough and the steering servo links are to short then realized that he got the wrong chassis.

The 3.3 chassis is longer by an inch isn't it?

Do I have the option of installing 3.3 center shafts and steering linkage and letting him get the benefit of the longer chassis rather then getting the shorter one?

What else will I need to get?
 
if u want the shorter one..

i have one thats used, UN BENT (lol)
$12 shipped and its yours.

but to swap chassis, ur gonna need the longer center shafts, i believe new servo linkages, and that may be it...
 
All you need is a longer front center shaft and the longer throttle linkage. That's all I needed when I got the 3.3 chassis for my revo.

I used a spare rear center axle I had. I had to take the end off so I could install the end of the axle from my front one that goes into the brake disk, but other than that it worked ok.
 
lol well good luck.

a nice cheap mod like upgrade on the 3.3 chassis, hack up a drive shaft, one that comes from the diff and goes to the wheels, hack one up for the rear center drive shaft.

it does fit, and its a bit stronger over the stock 2.5/3.3 centers

Click to expand...

Why is it stronger? Are the wheel axles larger? I didn't notice...
 
yea, they are larger in diameter, well mine are atleast and mine started out as the 2.5r
 
Maybe I'll try that when my 24.7 puts the twist on them. Thanks for the tip! Saves me dealing with steel cvd's again... I hated those things on the maxx...
