So there's enought room to run separate servos for the diff locks front and rear going to run it with one servos and add the other later on

There's even enough room to put the ROSS over the servos and the lid still fits with room to spare

Well that's all for tonight will post more when I get more done
 
What do you all think about running the front and rear lockers separate
 
The Summit transmitter has a 3 way switch which locks both diffs,unlocks both diffs and locks the front diff. I assume it runs off one channel.
I suppose you could run each diff on it's own channel if you have a receiver with enough channels to do so. What Tx and Rx do you intend to use?

BTW, I have a Summit so if you need to, hit me up with any Summit related questions you might have for reference and what not.
 
well i plan on running a 6 chanel rx from flysky so i will have the extra chanel and the flysky gt3c modded by overkillrc
 
Decided to run two steering servos and to run the diff locks off of two separate servoes so that I could lock the rear or front or both got the rear diff in, bolted on, the frame notched and shocks mounted motore mount and engine bolted on

Cut down some old revo 3.3 outer shafts to fit with the slayer arms and going to use them for sender shafts to I also cut the groove so that I could keep the dust boots they look really short but there still longer then the front senter shaft that came in a revo 2.5

Hey I got a traxxas revo 3.3 and I'm having a problem with it it will run and stuff but when I give it throttle it will barley move but motor revs high please help
 
Make shure that your clutch shoes are installed correctly and free of dirt grees etc and your clutch bell spare gear mesh is correct use a peace of the thin notebook paper for setting it and like said above set you slipper clutch

Thinking about going with a full size like this http://www.amainhobbies.com/product...-Poly-Battery-w-Traxxas-Connector-74V-5000mAh its the same size as the one on the truck
 
you could use a smaller lipo and maybe strap it infront of the throttle servo if you dont run dual steering servos
 
That's a good idea ill have to measure it and see I can run a big one over the front shock which I was thinking would be the best to senter the weight
