So what I'm starting with is a nitro slayer 3.3 the plan is to use summit locking diffs and a losi R.O.S.S. remote start system for a start so ill have a revo with remote start reverse and remote locking diffs. So before I get home and start on this I was wondering what you all think about this or what you would add pics will be coming soon and parts list is below.
Traxxas swaybar kit
Traxxas summit diffs
Traxxas summit bulkheads already on order
Traxxas summit diff linkage
Traxxas revo reverse with opti drive
Flyski gt3c modded by overkill rc
Remote start system off of losi 10t
Traxxas mini servos to operate the diff lock
And if it will fit a LRP .28 or .30 with traxxas bb mount but ill have to see if I can use pull start
 
Holy crap that sounds so sweet. I would love to put remote start in my revo. Will the Losi remote start turn over a .30 ? I know the traxxas is good up to a picco .26 but won't start a jl .28
 
The reverse and Optidrive are worthless in a Big Block powered Revo. You're better off not installing them.
 
Well the big block isn't set in stone I'd love a LRP 30 but unles I can run it with the traxxas bb kit I'm not going bb and with the losi remote start it works with the ez start but I don't see how it isn't possible to get a high torq motor for it.
 
I'm not 100% positive but I don't believe the pull start fits without mods on a Traxxas mount. A New Era mount will allow it and so will the clone mount I make.
 
I think engine wise you will be sort of limited to a picco .26, even if you could modify the ez start I dont think the gears would last. Maybe look at dropping a losi 3.4 in it.
As for the summit locks and the like you will need summit bulkheads to accommodate the diffs as they dont fit in the standard revo bulks.
 
Already have the bulkheads on order $10 for both with rockers and all that good stuff and I'm not to worried about not being able to run the ez start I just wanted somthing I haven't seen done yet
 
I understand the the ross is pointless without the ez start if it's possible to run a ez start on a lrp 28 if I could get a high torque motor and be able to run the hr a-arms and traxxas mount that will be what is going on it but if it dosnt work out it will just get the 3.3 with ez start and ross
 
Got the frame all stripped down tonight ready for cleaning pics will be up tomorow

Thinking about these lipos don't really know to muck about lipos yet but I'm learning so if any one has any input it's more then welcome they will be placed on a custom trey over the fron shocks these are all about 3.75-1.90-1 in in size I will be running voltage reg and low voltage shut off the receiver I'm running will have a built in fail safe to links below

Not sure if this is high enough discharge for what I wanna do

What kind of swaybars do you guys prefer the tekno ones or the traxxas one I'm kinda leaning towerds tekno since there rear ones are on bored and not so exposed
 
Got the shocks all cleaned up and new 50 wt oil tonight

That's all for tonight will post more pics later
 
So tonight I assembled the truck enough to measure for the battery still waiting on the diffs tho

Either of these will fit with ease

Leaning towerds the protek tho. Any one have any suggestions for low voltage shutoff.

Also this is the transmitter and receiver I'm going to be getting

Interesting build. I'm anxious to see how the locking diffs work out with a nitro engine. I'd like to do a build similar to this if it works.
The ROSS system in itself eats up a lot of chassis room. I don't see any room for it amongst all the spaghetti already on that chassis. Hope it works out for you.

Well I'm going to be running a 4300mah lipo over the front shocks to run both the Ross and RX so that will give me the room where the receiver pack would be and it should stay pretty clean
