Manne´s E-slayer pro build

[Manne]

Hello happy fellas!

Just thought I should post my fifth build here at the forum .

I have had alot of trucks, most recently a totally hopped up Erbe: http://traxxas.com/forums/showthread...project./page5

A toomuchwrenched Merv: http://traxxas.com/forums/showthread...project./page3

And The flux ( wich I´m currently using most of the five vehicles I have left: https://www.rc-monster.com/forum/sho...t=29831&page=4

The short story is, I have always loved the revo, from the first time I saw Airmaxx23´s movies from back in the begining, and I have had one of my own since the first 2.5 model came out.

The overmodified revo didn´t get much runtime after I got the flux since the revo just couldn´t take what the flux could, but I felt so sad just having it standing there on the bench, so after almost a year of "resting on the bench" I started to convert it into a summit, said and done, ran it for about 10hours total trough mud and rocky sektions, and then I got tired of driving slow...Looked at Nitrocircus live show when they were here in Sweden and saw a trophytruck, and then the idea had come to life.

It´s nothing too special, the build contains:

Spine is a Summit chassis,
Greg adler body,
some alu skids,
alu servosaver,
pushrod mod for the rear bulks and bodymount,
Lst front and rear 1/8 diffs,
shortned and welded front centershaft from a flux,
summit axel for the rear center,
Maxx axels all around ( will swapp them out for some summitshafts if they aren´t up to it),
MMM 2200kv powerplant.

I have ordered some trencher x´s to fit on some black split spokes, will order slingshots for the winter later on.. I may also order the Erbe´s steel centershafts to clean things up.

Here is my other builds:

I never made a thread about the summit build, it was just a stock summit but with the alu stuff named above, and some locked Lst diffs.

Here is the current state of the build:


Wait and see, there will be more, waiting for the arms, body and the rest of the stuff to arrive, hopefully they will be here at the end of next week...We´ll see

Now keep on bashing out there

i like your water shield for you esc. does it get hot in there?

[Manne]

It works very good breathing actually, have had it like that half the summer on the flux, it´s a outwearscover, googel it and you will see if you don´t know what it is already. They have a pretty weird website tho..Get to the rc-section and you will be good.It won´t let the water in, or snow at all, but you feel absolutley no resistens when you try to breath trough it.

There is also a version that covers the whole revo chassis:

Sorry, thought this was the Slash Forum

[revoman78]

cool. good job on the conversion

[Manne]

Thanks revoman

Update:

Got all the parts except the wheels today.

Started with the Revo spec axels, shortned them a bit:


And then mounted the rest of the stuff:


Did some decal changes to the Greg Adler edition, I really don´t like yellow, so I removed the 4wheel stickers and added some other, also covered up some of the "nitro holes":



I think it turned out kinda nice.

Here is a comparision between the trencher x 2.2/3.0 tires and some 2.2 sandpaws:


Next step is to mount the sandpaws on the 2.2/3.0 if they show up before the weekend.

Update:

Here it is, alive in the snow! This truck is a blast, I have found my new love!







.

It´s a tad to slow for my taste on 4s with 38/21 mod1 gearing. I will either buy a 36t spur or if thats not enough I will probably step up to 5s

Thats all for now, keep on bashing everyone

[Manne]

Update:

My 3s has arrived! Labeled to be 20mm longer than the 2s packs but they were identical in length just as I thought.


Re geared and with 5s this thing has really woken up from it´s beauty sleep! It´s now so awake so it started to melt my center shafts......

This is a brand new summit shaft after just one run...


So it was time for something better, I took a driveshaft from a XXLST, and paired it with the sleeve from a center shaft of a XXLST to achive the perfect length. Some grinding was needed on the driveshaft since the "head" in the joint was slightly too big to fit in the sleeve at the beginning. Turned out kinda nice, should more than well hold up.


And that´s all for now.

Keep on bashing everyone!
