The new Revo, bringing back 'Fun' into the rc racing :-)
First hop-ups on the Revo
Click HERE to see all the pictures of the assembly.
OS .18tz Motor Install
|
You'll need to hone your Mad Dremel Slilz to complete this mod to install this engine. First you have to remove the fins from the bottom of the engine case. |
The end of the crankshaft needs to be shortened. (Shown here allready cut-off.) A couple of threads need to be removed also. Test fit your clutch shoes and bell to gauge how much has to be removed. |
Here is another pic showing the completed dremel work. |
|
I used a Mugen flywheel nut. I had to dremel the top down to where the threads ended. Test fit your clutch bell assembly so that it just clears the flywheel. |
How custom do you need to get? The throttle arm on the carb is too short to catch the Revo assembly. I used the dremel on a button head bolt made my own. Note: I used a drop of blue locktite to secure it. |
Finished assembly ready for install in the Revo... almost... |

Even with all the grinding and fitting on the crankshaft, the clutch bell teeth still hit the pressure plate on the slipper. Mad Dremel Skilz fixed the problem. |
This is a good picture showing the gear mess now working without binding. |
|
Now that is a custom throttle connection. Note: you have to move the pivot to the outside hole to avoid binding the throttle. |
You'll need a new exhaust header for the motor. I am using the dynamite one and it seems be working fine. |
Editors Note: This motor rips in the Revo, with the stock gearing I can pick the front end up at any speed... way too much fun. In the interest of keeping our revo class fun. Most of us have decided to run the 2.5 during club races... they still put out enough hp to have a blast racing ... see ya on the track. |
Here is the new Revo Body made by Majestic Bodies website.
It is made from 0.60 lexan and
is extremely strong. The wing is made of the same 0.60 material and with stood
a ton of abuse
during the day that I was the test monkee. This is the proto-type body and the
new ones should
be available soon (by April 1). Tell Chris you saw his body on the mbrc website

New Polished Head on the TZ (note extended chassis)
|
I moved the battery pack to the front shock tower trying to keep the front end down while excellerating |
If it don't go... Chrome It !!! |
Looks like the old moto-x style heads from the 70's |
