setup
Well I ran a few laps of practice at EVOLUTION with the Revo,,broke a shock end that i new was a little soft ,couldnt find a replacement in time so I didnt run it, but from what I can tell I will be toning the power down ALOT MORE! I'm going to take the top end out a few cliks and completely re curve it,, the center diff is staying,If I can just get the power managable then the FUN fine tuning will come into play,, oh yeah and that Evolution raceway is a fun track to race on!!

Re: SET UPS for brushless revo
Well I have a center diff that I got for free. It started out as a center diff for 19.99 free shipping. It got here and did not work some of the plastic housing was srtiped away from somthing being messed up in side so I sent it back to the guy and he gave me a full refound . Well he took it apart and said there is nothing wrong with it Ill send it back to you and you can have it for free.I got looking at it and I see the diff cup is the same as the front and rear diff. One problem I dont have a E-revo style diff cup but I did have a nitro diff cup and I used that to rebuild it. The thing works great now and was free. The only problem I have right now is 100k thats in it is way to thin 500K will be in it soon.

Re: SET UPS for brushless revo
you will want 500k min I been messin around with my center dif and different power settings and gear ratios,I think im pretty close, at this point I have a 3.11 ratio,from what I have learned testing any gear ratio higher than 2.99(2.56-2.77-2.99) its going to either diff out with the center diff or wheelie without it,,thats with the lowest possible power settings, 18-56 the truck is still VERY fast but very drivable and its not diffing out to the front too much,,just at the very top of the throttle,,different springs-oil combo,,vari#2s with 60wt oil gold and orange springs,silver swaybars,extended rear arms(in the 19mm position)40mm front ride height--46mm rear ride height, tomorow we are going to Evolution again and since its a bit smaller track I'm running 0 offset bowtie LPRs instead of the 1/2 offsetsfreelife04239 wrote:Well I have a center diff that I got for free.

Re: SET UPS for brushless revo
I looked at both swaybars tekno and traxxas, I like the traxxas rear but I like the short design of the tekno fronts,,I ended up going with the traxxas I seriously dont think you will need the 21 pinion unless your just bashing then it wouldnt matterfreelife04239 wrote:yea I have 60wt shock oil in stock shocks with silver and blue springs till next week then Ill have VR shocks .

Re: SET UPS for brushless revo
You are right i dont think i need it cause the 18/54 i have now is crazy fast but still little tomuch snap hopping the 21 tooth will give me less snap
