calum101 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Revo clutch shoes are a tad smaller than 1/8th shoes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 Thanks to rcsammy i managed a few tanks out of it at the RHR track and lets just say i'm pleased with the picco. managed to bed the piston and liner in nicely but didn't get to tune it yet. the only slight issue was the slipper loosening itself/not being tight enough for the power increase (i hadn't bothered adjusting it ) other than that i forsee a long and beautiful relationship developing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 A few bits turned up from Liquid today So that's the battery box and servo mount from the 5308, Revo chassis brace and GPM alloy rockers on the front only as i rounded the hex in one of the main rear rocker screws and don't want to dremel it out before i get a replacement delivered. *Fun things you never knew you had* ok so who knew the Revo has a built in charger plug in the battery box? because i didn't until i took the old one off only problem that causes me is that i only have the switch it came with and the charging lead is rather short so if you do as the battery box tells you on is off and off is on ok? >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said earlier, my Big Joe's are waiting for me at the lhs, looking forward to getting them on but looking at yours i've realised theres quite a few more parts i'm gonna need to get it finished.

Beard Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 cheers Jay, it's taken so long to come together it's become a bit of a labour of love Axle, there's always more parts needed...i say it's finished but that's only as long as i don't see any lovely new bits i want/need. speaking of which. does anyone know if you can get covered 23mm lock nuts like the 24mm Uber RC baja ones?

Beard Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 Well i did something i said i'd never do... Yup a side pipe. it's a Hong Nor EFRA 3016 and it has made the Revo truly bloody mad! i think i might try an 18 or even 20T clutchbell as it wheelies so much the novelty has totally worn off it was a straight forward fit with only a couple of things to watch out for. firstly the header is square where it sits against the engine this makes one of the corners sit very close to the shock cap at full compression but i don't see this being a problem as it doesn't actually touch, if it does however i think cutting a groove about .5mm deep will cure it without weakening anything critical. The second thing, and it's a minor one really is that you have to run the back pressure line behind the engine and resting on the header. i cut about 2 inches of fuel line which i split down the middle... and problem solved. As you can see the downside is no cage but i think the trade off is worth it. Revos are as tough as old boots without cages so no biggie. I've had a couple of tanks though her this evening and by Odin's mighty beard has it unleashed the Picco. My monster truck is finally a Monster! Now to start the Revo truggy build...

Matt B Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Ah, glad you ditched the rear box in favour for a side pipe. Always worth swapping style for smiles in the form of buckets more power! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creativechris Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 is its the same thing people use on their actual cars? Iv seen some fiat 500's trying to make it look like the abarth with this fake carbon fiber, looks appalling on the car, but on a rc it looks good.
