Hmmmm. I have the (first) E-revo tranny in hand now, but unfortunately it is slightly different from the E-maxx tranny.
Thus I don't think I can use the RC4WD tranny adaptors:

E-Revo tranny manual:

Have anyone tried the E-revo tranny yet? Does it work OK with the RC4WD adaptors? Maybe with slight modification?

I could of course make my own adaptors.

Arild got some parts for his TXT.. so I took some pics for him...

Revo shaft, check.. (only one, though.. !) 2 digital servos.. some REVO shocks.. not sure if these will work on a TXT or not, they are very stiff as they were designed to work on a high leverage canti system..

Arild is going to end up w/ a nice Traxxas, I mean, Tamiya, TXT soon..

ArildS

The shocks are not for the TXT

There is another e-revo driveshaft on the way. The short ones are unusable as I see it. I have the junfacs still in my parts bin though. The watertight blue traxxas servos are 'nice to have' at a bargin so I've been picking up a few

Lunchboxer

Ha ha, what are those shocks for then?! Secret project?! Let us know, man!!

I can't wait to see the TXT w/ REVO tranny and MMM, though!! Ha ha!! It will be sick!

chummer

Hey Lunchboxer, I just noticed you have 37599 postings[X(]. Wow...You are die hard![sm=thumbs_up.gif]

Lunchboxer

I am not so sure about running 12 shocks on a TXT!! ha!

ArildS

Maybe some insane jumping planned????

Lunchboxer

How about 4 bigger shocks?!

Anyway, I just thought that's interesting, so I posted the pic.. didn't mean to say it is good or bad..

Lunchboxer

Arild's MMM showed up..

Note the size of the motor compare to the 1/10th MM 540-sized motor! [X(]

I tried selling my TXT-1 on RC Tech, always wound up in a trade and people were afraid to send a money order because I had 0 trader rating.
So I guess I'll keep it, maybe take the TXT chassis and use it on my bullhead if I can get it to fit.

Lunchboxer

Keep the TXT, man.. it is a future classic!!

ArildS

Or you can turn it into a BL monster as I plan to
Mamba Max Monster and an E-revo tranny will make it so [&:]

wow .... I just finished reading all 140 pages of this awesome txt-1 novel! lol took me about 5 and a half  days.

 i am on the market for a txt... i think. i definetly want an r/c about the same size to drive like a monster truck - FREESTYLE. probably want to build a custom MT.  definetly with 4wd and 4ws. i am a virgin still i have not built yet. new to this hobby. open to suggestions. will need help with some info. like cells and radios, i think i am settled on a  EVX 16.8V Waterproof ESC and twin 550's off the new Emaxx.  also i saw a truck posted by LB (one of his "check this out" posts) that had wheely king shocks, i like that setup of shocks, not necesarrily WK but maybe something bigger and soft. i would like to build a custom tube chassis and roll cage like the realistic grave digger LB posted a couple years ago and i just might throw a gravedigger 1/8 parma body on it. well would like to hear any comments and i'll keep ya posted.

****BTW. i am considering buying off the classifieds in this site so any warnings or advice? would be my first time buying online and want to stay safe******

Lunchboxer

Nice!  Welcome!

I think you will find the TXT an interesting build..  keep us posted!!  If you have any specific questions during the build, feel free to post them here..  I am sure many will be able to help you out!

edwalsh18

hey LB you ever buy from classifieds @ RCU?

Lunchboxer

I did a trade at the Classfied section once..  had a good experience..  but I suggest you use common sense and do some research..  (about the user who you are about to do trade with, etc.) 

If you have more questions about that, you can make a post at the general forum..  I bet many people will give you some advice.. 

Anyway, good luck w/ the TXT project!

Here are the first pictures from my Revo BL/Summit tranny conversion.

Pictures of the inside of both the Revo and summit tranny. The Revo trenny is not 2 gear shiftable, and seem really sturdy
I also posted my first stencil for the 'hole' Ihave to make in the aluminum plate.

More to come later

Lunchboxer

Nice ArildS!  When will the tranny go into the chassis?!

ArildS

I need to do some further customization to fit it perfectly to the Revo tranny.
After I assembled the tranny/motor/spur/slipper/drive shafts I found several points I need to adjust.
No time for it right now so it will come along later. I'll post a finished template for the alu plate when I am finished so anyone can copy it
