Project Insanity Build

[revo_rob_1984]

I started off with this build with nothing but a chassis and suspension. Then came my order to tower.

Then came Blowing the thing apart for a cleaning and dying process.

and as you can see, i got every red annodized part available for the erevo

Then i installed swaybars front and rear

Then came the power for what i have dubbed "project Insanity"
Mamba Monster 2200 KV motor and Traxxas XO-1 Esc

I figured since i am going to be putting alot more power through this rig than usual considering the powerplant, it was time to upgrade the plastic drive shafts and cvds

And now with some camber and toe adjustments, may i present to you the completed, PROJECT INSANITY!!!!!!!

Very simple and i like it. Smooth.

 

[Alexander_0_1]

No bells and whistles! You stuck to the everything has a function. Very nice!

 

[revo_rob_1984]

simple, but anything but subtle once i put some power to her for the first time. . .6s, with "custom" gearing.. .and no I'm not gonna reveal my secret either ::












ok ok ok . . .heres a hint. . .MOD1

 

[HPIguy]

MOD1 is a nice touch, should really help when you start laying down all that power.

 

[revo_rob_1984]

well as the name implies its going to be completely insane, i built it for a few reasons, 1. cuz i wanted a sick erevo, 2. i'm gonna attempt to get my world record back, and 3. my buddy thinks his XO1 is the baddest rig on the block, well i got news for him, theres a new bad boy in town

P.S.. . .ohh woodie, you know a RCNT sticker would look real nice on the windshield of this beast *ahem ahem*

What's a MOD1?

 

[sur3fir3]

mod1 is the size of the teeth on the spur/pinion.

 

[revo_rob_1984]

What's a MOD1?

Its a stronger, beefier type of spur and pinion the teeth are thicker and stronger by a long shot. . .thats what the xo1 uses

Nice rig!, if you’re still running stock diffs have a few extras on hand or upgrade, 6S is hungry and likes to chew on them for a little snack.

oh i know, I've had an erevo before, never this powerful though, but I've done every available upgrade to the driveline that i can, if i could find better diffs id get them too, but idk if anyone makes better ones

Gotta make it bulletproof

that was one hell of a break down on that build thread, wow. . .seriously wow. . .that dude has some great ideas that I'm gonna "steal" to make mine even more trick. I"m liking the carbon fiber motor plate. Thoughts on that guys???

 

[revo_rob_1984]

well took her out today for her maiden voyage, on my high speed gearing 34/34 (mod 1) and i got to about half throttle and blipped wot one time and blew the front tires right off the bead at approx 65MPH. . .so i need to find something to keep the tires held on the rims better than CA glue. Any suggestions guys. The tires are belted with gorilla tape and the foams have been ditched completely
