tectic Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Fantastic project. Turned out really well, the offset on the rims, is it 1/2"? Has a much nicer stance than a stock E-Revo, makes me want some offset rims. They are nearly 11/2" offset here are some stats origional front track = 41cm Diablo,s front track = 47cm origional length = 59cm Diablos length = 60cm Gearing 21/54 origional weight = 3.82kg Diablos weight = 5.0kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tectic Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 Finally managed to get some video I have found that the Hot Racing shock caps have to be replaced The caps having vent holes drilled in the top of the cap and the shock diaphrams are piercing at this point due to no support. I have installed the stock caps for now untill a replacement can be found. I also snapped one of the rear extended arms and will see how the new arms hold up. http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/5291/movieaix.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tectic Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 I am really pleased with the Tyres no ballooning and great grip. The steering is excellent with the Hitec servo The handling at speed is really good with the increased width. The slipper works great still wheelies on startup then the center diff spreads the power.

Revorocks Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I can't believe it sounds so smooth. Usually brushless Revos are all clunky and sound like they are going to explode. Yours sounds perfect. You think it could be the gorilla snawt? If so I might put some in mine Not sure if it's ok to use on a 2 speed gearbox though. The cornering looks good too, guess that extra width really helped. Really good project overall mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good project overall mate ? Id check your gear mesh, Cause mine has always sounded that smooth when driving around, At slow speed its as bit clunky but driving round above 10mph its nearly silent!

blueshade27 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 OOOOOOOOOOO...........Brushless Baja, will follow that one. Looked at doing that myself but too much mullah for me. Went with a 1/8th buggy myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id check your gear mesh, Cause mine has always sounded that smooth when driving around, At slow speed its as bit clunky but driving round above 10mph its nearly silent! No I'm not saying mine sounds like that, but some of the brushless Revos I've seen often sound kind of "rattley"... Plus, I have a nitro Revo, not a leccy. Can't hear the gears over the sound of the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
