Revorocks Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Sweet, I love Revo rebuilds. Going through this is bringing back memories, sold my Revo now though Looks like a cracking roller you have there fella, really nice parts on there. Diffs look very nice! Ditch those servos if you can, put something decent in there, it will complete it Will be watching this thread, something very satisfying about Revo rebuilds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andythecrane Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Once the weather breaks I will get everything washed outside, and then blasted with compressed air. Glad your liking the build thread as well revorocks. Long way to go on the build, New parts needed as well. But it is a winter project after all, but can't wait to get it running.

Andythecrane Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 I have just bought two diff cup rebuild kits today from modelsport. Hopefully they will arrive by mid week, and i will start to soak the old ones in duck oil to get them super clean for the dry rebuild.

Andythecrane Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 In between washing the cars, i managed to soak the diffs in Brake and Clutch cleaner. There was an amazing amount of gunk came out. And there was a good few bits of alloy shavings lying in the cloth afterwards. After another clean with brake and clutch, i am now soaking the bearings and gears in Duck oil for a few days. Untill the rebuild kits arrive. Oh, and i forgot to take photos, so you will have to take my word for it........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Ha photos or it never happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andythecrane Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Taken delivery of two diff rebuild kits, inside the kits are new plastic diff cups. I think i will use the instead of the alloy ones, since i found shavings of aluminium in the sludge. I will rummage in the bucket in the garage for the cloths and photograph the debris that was captured when cleaning........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Looking real nice mate. What are those gold things on your centre drive shafts tho can be seen throu your engine mount i dont have those. Your brake disk is an upgrade too its defo a brilliant starting point when youve finished it will rival some of the best revos inc mine. Ide like the cf chassis and under armour at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andythecrane Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 The gold things are the centre drive shaft outer tube. Sent from my phone, using Tapatalk for Android......Now with Scottish language translation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I am going to change out the tank and battery box i think. Has anyone got any thoughts on the TEKNO mod? Best thing i did in ages to my Revo, try and find the,tank from the Hyper one seven TC, part number H87504, and you'll 20-25 minute run times out of your Picco. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andythecrane Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Thanks beard, i think i will go for the Tekno tank and battery mod....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andythecrane Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) This weekend i have rebuilt the two diffs with the traxxas rebuild kit. And i have used the plastic diff cups that came with the kit. As i wasnt overly happy with the flecks of alloy throught the diff oil / gunge. All the diff component been soaking in Duck oil for a week. All the parts have had several washes in brake and clutch cleaner before being soaked in oil. Not much more to say about the assembly of the diffs, they went together well, no issues, no problems. So, thats the dry build over. Now to decide on what diff oil to go for now??????????

Beard Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks beard, i think i will go for the Tekno tank and battery mod....... No worries bud, Try and find the 250mm tanks before you order otherwise you're just buying an expensive way to do a single servo conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andythecrane Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) Got some tinkering done today on the Revo, with parts that arrived during the week. Mostly stripping and cleaning the parts today; Also got a spare spur gear; Spare 14mm hex's A TRX 3.3 with light use; Picked up some diff oil, so i can start the wet diff build; A new plug never goes a miss; Opened up the engine to have a look and to clean it out; EZ start looks okay as well; Gave every thing a good clean with brake and clutch cleaner then soaked in duck oil. I thought there was more photos, but they have seem to have dissapeared. I will have to track back.

Andythecrane Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Two things i will have to work on soon; When i was taking off the E-Clip from the clutch bell, it went ping and never seen it again........... And is there a correct way for the piston to go in, as i noticed afterwards the skirt has a raised edge. For now i have put the raised edge facing intake. Will look at vids and traxxas diagrams............ Unless you know better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Looking good so far And is there a correct way for the piston to go in, as i noticed afterwards the skirt has a raised edge. For now i have put the raised edge facing intake. Will look at vids and traxxas diagrams............ Unless you know better? http://traxxas.com/sites/default/files/TRX-Engines_Manual_130103.pdf page 39 I've got to sort out a few Revo bits for The Dark Knight and I'm fairly sure i've got a spare Resonator exhaust going, PM me if you want it fella 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 nice big blisters on two of my fingers from helping my mate get his Revo fired up at the weekend, one thing I don't miss about nitro haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
