Ah, thanks for clarifying. How much did you stretch it?

bilinvic · 10-07-2018, 04:15 PM

My BOM is all torn apart right now, but IIRC the WB is now 12.7 inches.

Thanks.

I picked up a Hot Racing SCX10.2 Aluminum Steering Servo Mount SCXT2401. The shock hoop with the integrated Panhard mount doesn't have enough "meat" to screw into with the stock plastic servo mount. Now I can use Loctite to ensure the shock hoop / Panhard mount will not loosen up like it has been doing. The added chassis strength doesn't hurt either!!!!

The only thing I had to do was drill a hole in the top half of the under-frame box as the forward two holes don't match up with the HR mount. Now the box is very secure, especially with the added lead weights within.

I blew the transmission on Saturday, ordered a replacement gear and spares from Gmade South Korea on Sunday evening and they are in my possession three later using EMS (Canada). Nice job Gmade.

My BOM now has an underdrive rear axle....

EDIT....I'm not sure why embedding a video isn't working???

2mtech · 10-17-2018, 02:55 PM

Nice!

How did it fail? Total detonation or one particular part?

Embed didn't work for me the time before last, worked last time...idk...

bilinvic · 10-17-2018, 04:13 PM

I sheared a couple teeth off of the larger gear.

I have since added a couple of .2mm shims on the transmission shafts to eliminate any lateral gear movement.

I also loosened the slipper off a bit, hopefully that will eliminate any trans clicking. I tested the slipper by torquing the slipper by hand; it takes a lot of effort for it to slip, but it will now slip. It was pretty much locked when tightened up like an Axial slipper would normally be in comparison.

Some video action of my BOM....

Embed didn't work for me yesterday either.

Those wheels are excellent. I've long loved OMF wheels.

How did you give it UD?

I routinely cycle through these three modes while crawling as it really does help with the overall performance. I'm currently using an 11t pinion with the stock 45t 32p spur gear. Speaking of pinions, The output shaft on the Revolver motors is quite long compared to a regular motor. Because of this, the cover for the pinion/spur gear and motor will not clear the extended shaft and I had to modify the cover to allow the gear and pinion to protrude out. Leaving this cover off is not an option as it secures the motor mount in place.

What with my new job and all, I've been seriously remiss as far as catching up on various threads on the forum lately...

Awesome job on this BOM build!

And as far as the Holmes Hobbies Revolver goes, I'm super-stoked to see so many people installing them and experiencing their incredible driveability.

I gotta say that I'm hoping that JRH eventually sees fit to add more kv and can-size options to the Revolver lineup!

A 550-size can and some higher-kv versions would allow for their use in a wider range of applications...

I'd love a larger can model shoe-horned into my Associated DB8 Nomad Desert Buggy!

(Sorry, tangent re-directed)

As always, your BOM has become a prime example of what can be done with a particular R/C platform, and I will need to pay closer attention to this thread in the future...

bilinvic · 10-19-2018, 01:58 PM

Underdrive was accomplished by swapping the complete rear axle with a new SSD Pro44 rear axle kit with a 30t/8t ring and pinion gear.

I'm using .350 hubs on the front wheels and .475 on the rears. The SSD 10.2 axle is narrower than BOM's.

Luckily, the axle mounts for the "V" shocks configuration fits the SSD axle tubes perfectly.

bilinvic · 10-26-2018, 02:27 PM

A few more changes for my BOM....

SSD Contender wheels;
SSD 10.2 Front Shock Hoops / Panhard Mount;
SSD 10.2 HD Stainless Steel Lower Link Set;
TRX4 front shocks with internal and external limiters and Axial white stripe 10.2 springs;
Locked Up RC Max Clearance Trackbar; and
2850Kv Slate Motor.

soze · 10-26-2018, 02:45 PM

The contender wheels look sweet!

bilinvic · 10-26-2018, 03:14 PM

Thanxs soze. When they were first introduced by SSD I didn't care for their style, but I sure do know, especially with the bronze.

Well... they go together with Toyota bodies well naturally... TRD style.

2mtech · 10-27-2018, 11:03 AM

Are you that hard on your toys, Bil, or do the macro pics just make rock rash look that much worse?
