The "J-Revo" build!

[tlandauer]

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 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

The "J-Revo" build!

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.

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.

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

[Spartanator]

Got it fixed up again:

Nice!!!

[Spartanator]

Nice!!!

Thanks!
All bearings will need to be replaced over the next 2 months along with new bumpers, body mounts, tires and bodies.
At this point I'm in right around $1,874.
$2K here I come... Whoops...

Nice. Now seeing the kind of houses you live in (in the video) your build price on your boat just went up.





Lol j/j!

How often do you have to rebuild your shocks? -----the one thing keeps me from a die hard off roader.
Looks good, nice place to stretch your legs!

[Spartanator]

I VERY RARELY rebuild the shocks on any of my RC trucks. I usually break one or bust it open on a crash before I rebuild them. The time varies from 1 day to a year.... Neglect! Haha

It's in the section 1 of my parents neighborhood where they are building houses on the Estate lots.
