revo clean up

[REVO-5309]

so I'm giving it a good old clean up. havent done this for 3 months or so. good 3 hrs into it atm and this is what I'm up to

 

[Metalhead Matt]

Lookin good as new!

Looking good. Just did the same plus new shocks and springs also fuel tank on mine. And shed my ez start and went back to pullstart for weight purposes.

 

[REVO-5309]

Yeh I was thinking of buying a new tank but mine ATM isn't giving me Any problems. And I already got the pull start on mine

But it already has FOC, wing obviously, 100k diff front and back, 2075 servo in throttle and steering, onboard temp, response tires, vented disc.

on its way, ofna failsafe, new tires/rims, pushglo.

when the picco .26 jlr motor comes off back order in the next week or so (email picco them selves and they will be shipping motors off to ofna between wed-fri) ill have that coming, dynamite 086 exhaust, steering servo cover plate, traxxas receiver box and battery cover (FOC Style), traxxas throttle servo open box (FOC Style)

I'll put some more progress pics up soon

Can u explain the push glow a little for me? Like where u would mount and kinda how it works? It does eliminate a glow plug ignitor? And it doesn't have to be charged?

Looking good. Now try to keep it that way.

Just a tip...spray the clean parts with a 50/50 mix of Armoral and water. It makes it a lot easier to keep cleaner in the future.

 

[REVO-5309]

rolex ill give that a go if i can find some, otherwise ill keep it clean enough till i get some

and the pushglo uses one of the channels power as far as i know to glow the glow plug. it uses the rx battery. so iv got another rx battery on the way as well, $20. so now all i have to carry is the controller and maybe a screw driver to tune if needed.

its basically the ez start but more simple and using less parts. (no wand with more heavy batteries)

Fantastic, and suprising, the dis-assembly of the Revo isnt bad at all because everything almost has its own spot that fits in.

Lookin good!

Look nice when there clean, just dont stat that way for long!! Thanks for the info on the push glo, just found the topic in the other forum for it also. Do u have any problems with the wire goin over the top of the head? I always screw the original blue wire up towards the top of the head from roll overs and such. To bad there wasn't a hole in the side of the head..

 

[REVO-5309]

i dont have it yet. that should be rocking up next week sometime. but i still have the black cap on the head. ill just spin that around so that the wire entry is on the inside of the head not facing out where it seems to hit... should be safe there.

but when the picco goes in i have a steel cage to go over the motor so it will be safe.

Looking good, I like the cleaning part my self, makes it a double fun.

Yeah I watched the pushglo video they posted on the site and really want to get one myself now.
