As some of u may know, I bought/traded for an old REVO 2.5R. Well I have decided to start a thread to follow the build.

Here are some pics as how it started out

Well today, I went up to the LHS to pick up a screw kit from them. I am planning on running up there again to get the rest of the arms, bulkheads, hinge pins, etc. Here is how it looks now

Not bad man but I would get some allen screws,the phillips heads are a pita and strip easier then allens. Also you will have to use button head screws on the front where the bulkhead is bolted because the shocks sit above them and have to clear.

New Pics I went back to the LHS and bought the rear arms, front bulkheads, rear body mount/posts, FOC, and some other goodies.

If anyone has some extra hinge pins or the little things that screw into the bulkheads and hold the rockers, please PM me

My Feedback: (3)

I second this motion!

Before you get too far into the build you should in the least get button hex screws to replace the regular hex screws.


Lookin' good so far, BTW. [sm=thumbup.gif]

Thanks. No of my LHS's had a REVO screw kit so I picked up an Ofna and traxxas universal screw kit. Seems to work pretty good.

Good thinking on the part of getting those 2 screw kits. I got one for my revo as well. Its not the same as the ones u got, but its similar....good luck with continuing with the build

do you go by rc waffle on ebay? you have the same counter top as that person. if that is you you must have tons or revo parts. if that is you how do you get all those parts?

racemaxx24

Man I wish. No those first pics with the stuff on the counter top is the guy who I bought it from

racemaxx24

Here is a site I did to follow the build http://www.freewebs.com/racemaxx24/forums.htm

Anyone can post

matts6887

cool site, but it still looks like it needs a little work in terms of the topics section.....just some food for thought I guess...

racemaxx24

Please give me some tips. I will be adding a picture page etc but i'm open to sugestions completly

racemaxx24

Well guys. Here is how it looks now. So far, thee of the four sides are done. I need to get some more hinge pins, and pivot ball, and a cap to finish all the arms. IF ANYONE HAS AN EXTRA DIFFRENTIAL OR THE PLATE THAT THE STEERING ASSEMBLY CONNECTS TO, PLEASE PM ME!!!!

Great job man so far looking really good.

Clymer122693

Looks like your missing the bearings and rock post screws in the front rockers.

racemaxx24

Yep I am. Thats par of my next LHS run

matts6887

Looks pretty good there so far racemaxx!! keep at it man; looking forward to seeing some pics of the "completed product"...[8D]

racemaxx24

Thanks matt!!! I apriciate all the kind coments. I know that in some places I cut corners but I am trying to hold myself back from doing some complete [sm=bananahead.gif] fabricating to get it running as soon as possible. I can't wait to see how it handles and bashes

Dude, if your into ebay you should check out hobbies gone wild. I just finished putting together another REVO for no other reason than because it was cheap! Buy alot of parts at once and save on shipping, also you can never have enough hinge pins or A-arms. Whats your total cost at so far?

racemaxx24

I'm a e-bay hatter. To much of a risk.

Right now, I have about 120.00 into it.
