If it is completely packed, the grease get squeezed out... Would be interesting to pack it up w/ Tamiya's anti-wear grease, though.. those are stupid sticky!

anyone here using revo shafts for their txt?

can you please post a picture of the revo shaft in your txt? i'd especially like to see how the shaft is kept in place. afterall, the design of the txt's stock shaft is quite different from the revo shaft, isn't it?

and just to confirm that the image below is the right one, is it? any addtional parts need to be ordered for the shaft to fit?


thanks! got my txt in march. till today, it hasn't ran an inch... it's lacking skid plates. it's lacking servos. it's lacking a novak hv maxx 6.5. it's lacking lipos! and of course, it's lacking monstrous drive shafts!!

Lb has one on the rear of his TXT after his "accident"

I have some that im goign to swap in when my shafts break..

update on the TXT: currently charging for its long awaited run! thanks again LB for the parts

Lunchboxer

"Accident"?!?! [:@]

It will be a simple direct fit (with minimal modification needed, although you do need some.. which was documented in the thread..)

Glad that you got the TXT up and running! No problem w/ the parts.. glad that you can use it.. although I am still preaching to get the aluminum parts.. hee hee..

HELLO ALL! I've been very very busy with school and helping run a business.... anyways, lets talk some TXT-1!

mine is loads of fun to play with, and even more to work on :P. but the steering is funky, and has never really worked right... sometimes it only wants to crab walk... and I can't seem to get it to properly work in true 4x4x4... but hey, whatever....

also, i have decided that the current 80 oz/in servos just wont cut it, at all... i need some much powerful ones....

Zeffle

get some 1/4 scale ones like LB!

screaminglife

way ahead of you my man!

mindwreck

Arild's Integy axle holders / skids....

The axle holders are plenty beefy..

[]TEX[]

What did you have on there before? Integy parts are really soft, they have that reputation.

Lunchboxer

They are not for my TXT.. I was just buying stuff for Arild.. (he is based in Norway)

I use NewEra skids and Tamiya alloy holders.. unbeatable combo...

paintstikker

I can't find the aluminum cantivilers, and I sold the pair I had....

I don't wanna get more plastic ones cause they will probably strip after awhile.

What size are the 4 link rods again? I thought it is 6-60 but I'm not sure (with 4-40 threaded inside for the ball connectors)

Lunchboxer

I am sure that you can still find some at eBay, no?!

[]TEX[]

Tamiya discontinued those paint.

Lunchboxer

Yeah, I still see them from time to time at eBay, though.....

paintstikker

OOPS LOL.....

Didn't Tamiya make aluminum shocks for it too? They still make a couple things for it, I know that...

Lunchboxer

Yes, there's aluminum shocks for the TXT.. discontinued.. but I see them on eBay sometimes...

ArildS

Let's hope the alloy is stiff enough too for my crashing
I'm really looking forward to this build

Lunchboxer

I don't think you would have problem.. the axle holders looks to be pretty strong..

The skids might be a little bit thinner compare to the NewEra.. but should still be okay..

ArildS

Cool. Maybe I'll get dents and scratches on the skids that shows it's really in use I'd not want people to think my TXT is a shelf queen [8D]

Lunchboxer

LOL! Trust me, you will bash your TXT pretty hard!!

mindwreck

sup LB and the gang. one of the few times i get to check out the forums. good the see the txt thread is still going.. too bad my txt is broken again... don't know what i hit but i broke one of the upper link mounts..[&o]

arild the TXT is one tough truck so bash it hard! i miss running mine, even when its fixed i just never have time anymore..[]

Lunchboxer

Did you use the brace?? I never had problem w/ the upper link mount.. I ran the aluminum brace from rc4wd.

Post some pics of the damage!!

Lunchboxer

Something different.... ha!
