(I could've gotten rid of the side-bumpers, but one good cartwheel would've mangled the SCT body shell without some kind of side support.)Īlso the Revo and Slayer both have the weirdest throttle linkage setup I've ever seen, with the return spring on the outside of the electronics box instead of integrated into the servo linkage itself, so I cleaned that up too. Since the Slayer doesn't have a reverse gear, it doesn't need a shifter servo, so it uses different electronics boxes than the Revo, and of course they were different enough that the side-bumpers on the Slayer don't fit the Revo's electronics boxes - at least not without cutting the Slayer's side-bumpers to fit. Well.technically yes, but of course the devil was in the details. Buuuuut, the Traxxas Slayer shares a lot of parts in common with the Traxxas Revo, so maybe I could drop a Revo transmission into a Slayer and get what I want? There are no nitro SCTs with reverse gears. In fact, it narrowed-down the selection to.nothing. That certainly narrowed-down the selection a lot. But I've become spoiled and lazy by Traxxas nitro RCs that have reverse gears - and electric RCs that can reverse without even needing reverse gears - so I wanted my nitro SCT to have a reverse gear too. I've barely had time to think for the past year, much less play with my toys.Ībout a year ago, I decided I wanted to build a nitro short-course truck. Whew, it's been a long time since I wrote a Build Complete thread.
