| BmachineRC EVO 2.2S
I finally switched over to an axial based 2.2S rig. The Losi served me well and I had a lot of fun with it, BUT I am stoked about my new build. BDN has been running this chassis for quite some time and it has been tried and true. I have crawled with BDN for awhile now and this chassis has continued to impress me with a well rounded crawling platform. Okay on to the goodies CHASSIS BmachineRC EVO 2.2S AXLES AR60 Narrowed .750" and Shaved .200" F1 Spool rear, VP spool front Underdrive, Overdrive XR10 knuckles RC Bros Knuckle weights Rowdy Racing AR60 Trusses ALL THE OTHER STUFF BR Mini Apocalypse 25T Wraith tranny Futaba servo RC Bros shocks VP SSZ wheels Voodoo Silvers narrowed 2 rows & Golds 5.5 CCI foams soft outers Wild boar shafts Ytown AR60 upper link mount x2 7075 suspension/steering links/standoffs Plastic hubs in rear Scale hardware Aluminum hardware throughout Last but not least I have a sweet lid being painted for this build by Crawllife ON TO THE PICS Picked the chassis up last week and the machining on it was top notch as always. The skid plate and the cross braces are a work of art! Getting things mocked up Now for the axles.....it took a little bit of time, but in the end I think it was well worth it Thats all for tonight. I will update more tomorrow Last edited by M_ENERGY; 11-07-2013 at 06:58 AM. |

Looking great Derrick. I just might have to see about picking up one of the EVO's for myself. |

Good looking parts right there. It's a shame you have to mount a trans to that skid.

Looks pretty good! On those diffs, how much clearance do you gain? |

They're shaving off .2" but then adding back the CF or Al skids...

You gain roughly .140" but sometimes that's all that's needed to keep you from getting hung up or knocked off your line |

You can't hide money....... What I saw looked really sweet Derrick. Nice work. You'd better make sure it can power out of a deep dark tight space without severe damage....that's the key. Last edited by strato54; 11-06-2013 at 10:37 PM. |

Thanks man! Its a very simple and straight forward build. The chassis is very light and rigid. I got it together and without any tuning at all I was very happy with it. | ||

Do you gain any more clearance doing the shave on those axles over the AX10 housings?

A way to know for sure is that they both use the same ring gear so with that being said I had to shave my ring gear down b/c it was hanging out of the bottom of the case. Last edited by M_ENERGY; 11-08-2013 at 05:58 AM. | |
