helsinki98 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Build thread for my e Revo V1 to V2 After owning a very unreliable Revo 2.5r as a child I always fancied another Revo but never got round to getting one, I finally have and will have the fun of building it! V2 components & new bits Front & rear arms Front & rear drive shafts Transmission drive shafts Steering links Front & rear skid plates Front & rear diffs - the main reason for the build! Chassis Hobbywing max Max 8 Hobbywing 2200kv motor Proline 3.8 trenchers Traxxas 15t pinion Traxxas 65t spur V1 components Rear wing Front and rear bumper Transmission Shocks Servos Shell Body mounts Rockers etc Think I have all the bits, will update if any others are needed.

Tug Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Is the chassis different? That has to be changed too? I was hoping it was just the bulkheads needed in order to change to the newer diffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping it was just the bulkheads needed in order to change to the newer diffs. Unfortunately so, the diffs are within the bulkheads of the 2.0 where as the 1.0 the difs have a houseing inside the of bulkheads. The 2.0 diffs are also much larger thankfully but mean there is a slight bulge in the chassis to accommodate the larger diffs You also have to change the drive shafts due to the huge drive cups on the new diffs, which also means new knuckles & bearings, the arms can be re used and the center drive shafts can be re used although a put the new ones on with the V1 transmission I had to cut the front center drive shaft down as the V1 transmission connector bits are longer than the v2 Edited February 15, 2019 by helsinki98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 If the arms are the same, RPM True-track can be used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
