Slayer to revo
 

I am thinking about converting my slayer to a revo. So far my part list consists of; arms, toe links, push rods, driveshafts, and wheels/tires. Anything else i will need? I am going to keep the slayer tranny because i am running a big block and need more top end. Also i was looking at the maximizer beadlock wheels, and was wondering what size would look appropriate on the shorter 2.5 style chassis? The 3.2 or the 3.8?
Thanks

Why? Seriously? You have a NICE Slayer, and come on snow, when have you EVER heard me compliment a Traxxas product? Keep it as is.

Because it doesn't handle anywhere near as good as a long arm revo.

Well what'd you expect? It's a SCT :o

And thats why i want to make it an MT. So is there a big difference between the 3.2 wheels and the 3.8 wheels?

nice job snow your doing good

Revo sell for next to nothing. Why not jsut buy one and keep your slyer as is. I think is a good idea to have 2 any way, just incase one breaks your not doen for the day.

Because it is pretty much a revo anyway. Hmm a revo goes for 300 or so used, and it will cost me all of $100 to convert. I don't need both a revo and a slayer, if something breaks i will just replace the part.

You can find full revos stock for 200$ all day, the resale value on them is HORRID.

Ok enough with this BS, i don't want to buy a new revo. I like the setup i have now and want to convert in to a revo.

you tell emm

I made the opposite mistake and thought an E-Slayer would be awesome so converted my E-Revo to an E-Slayer. HORRIBLE idea.

Things I used were all new arms, shafts, pushrods, different springs, rockers, and wheels/tires. Sounds like you got it covered.

As for what wheels to use, I would say use whatever you like best or can find cheapest. The difference between the 2.5 and 3.3 chassis is fairly small and the shorter length with bigger wheels may give you more of a "Jeep" effect and climb better.

Good luck with the conversion. It's not hard. Lets see some pics!!!

can i get a more detailed list of this conversion?

Wow, this thread is so old I don't even remember posting in it! :lol:

All you need for a conversion is:

8 Arms
8 Rods
4 Driveshafts
New front and rear bumpers
different wheels.

If you buy stuff on Ebay you should be able to do it fairly cheap in either direction. Revo -> Slayer or Slayer -> Revo.
