The "J-Revo" build!

Thanks! Summit bumpers on the front and rear. I would like to have some metal ones that mount to the plastic oval mount...I have to replace the front bumper since I had a little wreck yesterday, also broke one of the drive cups on impact along with the brand new a-arms I just finished installing:



Taking this as a sign to get back to boats.... Lol

Looks good! I just got done doing the losi diff's on my e revo. I love hot glue! I never have used it before but worked great for the gaps and just fit better. What rear bumper do you have? I have a summit body on my revo.

It sure can go through stuff! Had a little awkward landing today.... Hit a bump and came down in a mud puddle with the rear only.

I love being able to go over ANYTHING with the REVO though, Grass, Muck, loose gravel, Grass mostly like it is not even there.
I come from the old school brushed days where grass meant

Very impressive! I like everything you have done. Except I just can't grasp any of the parts meaning... for me sport running FE boats is much simpler. Just add water and you go...
But, if I have your kind of know-how, I will be doing the same. So----

Thanks Tim! The Revo platform takes a lot of "tweaking" to get it to a reliable stage. Some times boats are less complicated but then you have amps draws, stepped hulls, drag, unloaded rpms, prop pitch, prop cup and it goes on a little bit more but I have been apart of several Off Shore Runs with Higher Performance boats so the boats make sense to me (most of the time)lol.
Not much know is needed with the Revo platforms unless you try and race them, most of the problems are documented by others so I went around finding who knew more info... Wish I had not built it though-- Could of had a nice boat by now! I will have to keep this one around for a while since I spent a horrid amount on it. At least 10 years.... haha

I had a Rottweiler run off with my Monster Beetle once(yup, long ago).

Hehe, did you get it back?

Is that hot glue holding the diffs in?

It just is additional "bracing".... But short answer, yep hot glue. Better than having empty space.

My Dog will chase my Slash 4x4 but hates this J-Revo... lol
He tried to eat my 1/16 Summit.... So had to get bigger! haha

I keep mine tame as well with only 6s and a 1800kv 1518. They are a load of fun though and a real good run for the dogs, LOL.
Boating? Oh yeah, I'm supposed to go do that yet.

Right on. Nice job. I am also curious about the Losi conversion. So far mine has held ok with HRC diff cups and hardened gears. But I fear when they go I will have to switch it up.
I dig the longer arms.

Thanks! I just ordered some new Summit arms since I had an accident.... lol I run 5s so it shouldn't be too stress full on the diffs. I had them ground down by my guy Carlos in Florida, he was the previous owner of the roller and had the losi diffs in before he parted it out.
I am going back to boats now.... lol
Toy trucks and computers in the Winter, Toy boats in the arm weather! haha, hate the cold.
