**zoraduntov** · 11-29-2011 10:31 PM

Both electric and nitros are fun .

**shizcol** · 11-29-2011 11:28 PM

heck ya they are.. there are times when i love my nitro more then electric, but there are also times when i love my electric more.. they both have there ups and downs.. im a traxxas guy, and i wont buy anything else.. and im a maxx and revo guy.. i just picked up a emaxx and using that for the winter.. when the snow melts in the spring i will run my revo..

**shizcol** · 12-03-2011 08:54 PM

ok so i been messing with the spur gear and clutch bell mesh and noticed that when i put my new lrp in the spur gear and clutchbell dont really line up 100 percent.. so i took a couple pics.. can someone tell me if this looks ok and if i should run it this way or should i try to make it better.. i am using a integy metal spur gear in this truck and a 1/8 clutch bell..

**kmarshall263** · 12-03-2011 10:44 PM

I would be a lil afraid of chipping teeth off if you run it like that. I think I remember from before that your running a new era mount, right? If so, isn't there a adjustment for front and back on that mount? I personally never ran one so idk from experience. I know al said he had to slot his tranny holes to make it fit. Did you try that? Just putting some ideas out there bud. Good luck with whatever you decide.

**shizcol** · 12-03-2011 10:57 PM

no i had this same engine and same mount in this same truck and i didnt have to slot the chassis or move anything around. all i did was took the old motor out and put a new motor in. but i had a different flywheel and flywheel nut. the engine mount is adjustable but if i move it it will rub against the spur, and if i move it back its too far back.. so i need to get the right flywheel and flywheel nut.. i think i have it pretty close now.. but i want to have it the way it was before.. my flywheel nut is longer then the last one and it puts the clutchbell more back and causes it to be offset. so it messes things up.. but i changed the collet on the flywheel and now its almost just right to the point that the gear on the clutchbell is pretty much all the way on the spur so it might be alset. i do apreciate the help tho.

Shizzle, is this the issue? Is that an intergy clutch? that's an easy fix dude, you need to move foward to mesh up right, put shims behind the collet and the shims go against the bearing and you can line that up perfect, why are you running and intergy clutch on that motor? lol Thats an easy fix man, its the other direction I thought you needed to go, thats tougher, you can have that fixed in no time, I'm glad you put up the pic, what I was telling you was how to go back closer to the motor, hhahaha

**shizcol** · 12-05-2011 08:34 AM

Well I have nothing else to use lol. I didn't know if I could put shims behind the collet against the bearing. I thought it might put pressure on the bearing

Yea they use brass shims for that spot, small washers should get you there. Hey the OFNA buggy is ripping dude, I just repaired the body and put a new pull starter on the p3 turbo picco and it's running like a champ, going for some big air with is shortly, gotta try to get some video of air time. Did you see the pics of the E all done with the white dishes on it, looks sick dude, it flys really nice too, very balanced.

I did the same thing.

**Double G** · 05-29-2012 08:48 PM

By golly, I think he may be right!

**fallonguy** · 05-29-2012 09:45 PM

Yes they are you should be able to see the markings

They are on the right side so all you need to do is pull the pin and flip them over.

**shizcol** · 05-29-2012 10:50 PM

Haha ya i guess i did lol. I was doing like 3 things at once and it has been a while. I like the bug body as well just got to let it grow on me lol. Thanks for the pointer about the a arms guys

**shizcol** · 06-12-2012 12:37 AM

Well over the weekend i was able to put new diffs in the front and rear, went through the transmission rebuilt all the shocks and put new oil in them. Just waiting on my new big block air filter and fuel line. Then i need a new steering servo cause i discovered that both steering servos are junk so im gonna get a single steering servo arm and do the single steering conversion, but i want to get a really good servo. So far i got about 700.00 into this bad boy.

Thought id try some of these response tires to see how it looks..

**Ricksrevo1981** · 06-12-2012 02:18 AM

Looking good. can't wait for vids

**shizcol** · 06-12-2012 11:14 AM

**shizcol** · 06-12-2012 01:33 PM

More pics up the chassis

**shizcol** · 06-12-2012 01:34 PM

My bad double post lol. Lets see some more of these lrp revos with vids..

**shizcol** · 06-13-2012 01:14 AM

Sooo ive been doing alot of thinking about what i want to do for colors on this revo and i think i want to go with blue, red, white, and some silver. Does anyone have any ideas? I like the color white on a body so i think im gonna do the base color white with some blue and red in there some how.. And for the red accesories i was gonna go with red fuel line, red toe links and pushrods, Blue chassis, silver rockers, silver steering arm, stock black skid plates, maybe a silver center skid.. Im just throwing this out there off the top of my head.. But if anyone has any ideas of making my truck look sweet that would be cool. All my other revos have had a wing on them, but im trying to go another route in this one. I was thinking of just getting a nice wheelie bar for it since thats what i used to use the wing for lol. Anyways if u have any ideas, anyone... Dont hesitate!!!

**hondamag** · 08-30-2012 01:15 AM
