I have had my Revo since they first came out. So I have had it for quite some time now. I have done the long chassis when it came out and then traxxas came out with there own and added a 3.3 motor and so years later the brushless revo came out and I converted it to brushless and then years later I made it into a 1/5 scale sc truck.
So that is where I'm at now. I will now make a scale buggy out of it and that is why you see it in the scale builds.


So what is planned? shorten the long frame you see here to a wheel base of 18.5. Why? because that is what the new Yeti XL is at.
I plan on adding the new Yeti XL body and wheels and tires to this build.





I will go over some of the parts that are already on the Revo as well as what will be added to make it balanced and out perform the Yeti XL.
One thing you can spot right off is the low mounting of a Zero flex motor mount that is a HPI Vorza piece. The Robinson Racing slipper system is bomb proof also. I will also cover how to make the aluminum drive shafts that make this build
possible. It is simple and any one can do it.
