- It's been a while, but here is the next part of my RevoSlot Porsche build. It is nearly ready for the first race now at Pendle Slot Car Club.

Hiya, brilliant videos. I'm just wondering if you knew which screws you've used for the motor mount to the chassis. I need to get some new ones for a recently bought 911 and can't find them listed anywhere. Thanks in advance, David
First up: thank you for the updated intro!
And yes, those wires colours are always reversed =D
I also converted my GT2 from the older small tire to the new wide tire. I didn’t notice a performance difference, I have to admit that it isn’t fully race ready, hence less practice time. If the performance is identical, I have it easier with every car using the same wheels and tires =)
Glad you noticed the updated sound level 😉.
I was initially concerned that the wider tyres would cause more drag on the straights but it seemed fine.
Another very good video on a REVO car tune up. Thank You
Thank you John 🙏
With the Plastic Spurs I tried five to find a snug fit on the Axle and yep there was one that was very snug yielding a more even mesh.
That motor and gearing is remarkably good performance-wise.
My Marcos came with narrow rears, I didn't realise this until a club member bought a set of cars for club use and some had wider tyres but as someone else said lap time doesn't seem to suffer with the narrow tyres. I suppose tyre life will be better with wider tyres.
There are plenty of racers who still use the narrow tyres and have good grip 👍🏻
If you think the chassis has to much ground clearance, because of the tire and wheel size .put thin shims between the chassis and axle blocks.
I would like to do that, but the rules don’t allow those sort of modifications. ☹️
If rules allowed it, I would of flipped the endbell 180 degrees to get the timing back positive.
Also slimming the pinion up for less weight. But sounds like a stock racing class.
Should make a milliohm meter for $1 from lm317 and 12.5Ω resistor to check things like wire to pickup brush resistance, pickup to track and other things.
With angle cut spurs if the motor axle line is below the wheel axle line you want the endbell side of the motor to be slightly lower than the can end to allow for the angle cut. That said the spurs are so average its not going to make any difference. The spurs are not concentric. You in fact got a pretty good one. Ive had some that are almost unusable.
My spare spur was pretty bad so I will only use it in an emergency.
@@CleaveTech Im looking forward to seeing how close you end up being to the pointy end of the field at your first meeting. If you end up with good grip I'll be surprised if the Porsche doesn't end up being tippy. Make sure you do a vid of the club and the track. Would appreciate seeing what the tracks are like in the UK.
@@Fabio-ns4ql Sunday 8PM GMT is the time for the race day video. There is plenty more to come as I have raced it, improved it and raced again! I have lots of video editing to do 😁
I am interested in your rev 2 motor analyser
Your spurgear and pillar block are rubbing, despite oil. I place a very thin ring (0,25mm) between the parts so the ring touches and rotates only the inner ring of the bearing.
They do look like that would be the case but I have turned 0.2mm off of the boss on the spur gear to form the equivalent of a small washer. I just didn’t want to publicise that fact 🤫 😂
Is it best to have a small amount of play in the rear axle for this car?
@@rockyysolid43 I follow the rule "feelable, but not visible". Sounds paradox, but such microplay is possible.
I use wires of the same color. I don't care about polarity as long as it moves forward.
😂. I could probably cope if they were the same colour, it is just the red and black being the wrong way round that bugs me 🤣
Enjoy your videos.when can we see your car on the track.
Watch out for the next videos. 8pm GMT Saturday and 8pm GMT Sunday 👍🏻
I'm very interested in one.
They are actually good cars and don’t have any particular handling vices 👍🏻
@@CleaveTech one of the motor analyzers
@@kevinpalmer2975 Haha, the analyser, not the car 😂.
I have put a hold on making analysers for the moment as I am developing a new version for 2022. I can add you to the list if you want? 👍🏻
@@CleaveTech that's what I'm talking about my friend. Lol
👍🏻
These are informative videos but I wish you would number them in the title so I can determine the correct viewing order.
Thanks for watching Robert. You can view them all in the correct order if you view them as “Playlists”
I have a number of “Playlists” for the different themes of videos I have produced.

@@CleaveTech Thanks!
The comm (or brushes) must be effectively advanced when motor is running in reverse. Unfortunately there is no way of taking advantage of that. Pity. Gear mesh for BRM and Revo is average (Im being kind!!). Our club doesnt allow for different brands to be used. I would love to use better spurs. The spurs are the issue. The pinions are superb.
Agreed. The spur gear is not great. I bought a spare but the spare doesn’t run true ☹️
@@CleaveTech Our club does not allow the Revo Ergal spur gear at this time. Wish it did
@@johnstezelecki8157 , Are you referring to a different spur than the one that comes with the car?
The Revo spur gear that I'm talking about is the REVO S 419 A Ergal Spur gear that is presently not allowed. We are developing a REVO GT1 Class and I'm hoping that we allow this Ergal gear
How do I get version2 motor anilizer
Hi Arthur. Thanks for asking. Send me an email cleavetech.james@gmail.com so that I have your contact details and I can add you to the waiting list 👍🏻
Hi, I am interested in your motor analyser. I understand you are halting production as you are developing a new version for 2022.
Can you please add me to your list.
Thank you Johnno
Hi John. You are on the list. It’s going to be awesome!
@@CleaveTech I would be interested in the new designed analyser . Looking at the REVO motor you will notice that it is completely sealed. You cannot see the armature nor the motor brushes wear pattern. The motor label covering I think also prevents the worn brush material from exiting the motor can. Can this cause the motor to eventually foul ?
@@johnstezelecki8157 , thanks for the inquiry. Send me an email cleavetech.james@gmail.com so that I have your contact details and I will add you to the list.
The brushes in those sorts of motors are very short and generally quite hard. They don’t really generate a lot of carbon deposits so I wouldn’t be concerned about the motor failing for that reason. They are also very mildly wound so they don’t generate any significant heat.
@@CleaveTech excellent, Thank you 🖕
This set up isn’t any different from the slot cars we created and ran 50 plus years ago. Big difference we made them vs opening up a package.
Mines very loud…
The gear mesh does quieten down after a bit of running 😁
Too many ads, so long charlie
Nice car. but too many weak spots for me.
I love the metal chassis and guide post. It is really robust. It is also a really simple chassis design that works well with no handling vices.
