DRB REW - Sample Builds.

DRB Rear Evolution Weight Shift Conversion Set Example Build.

The DRB REW is targeted towards the expert level and those already owning a DRB and therefore familiar with the layout. Some specifics of the DRB build are not included. Every chassis builder has their own method of building a chassis. Some starting with suspension mounts, others with engine components, This build is only to show the locations of components and should be used as a reference only.

Weight shift starts with raising the bulkheads. Using the longer screws provided, insert one or two spacers for 2.5mm or 5mm higher bulkhead. 5mm recommended.

NOTE to customers: The DRB was discontinued in 2013. So a Used chassis is typically the conversion starting point.  This bulkhead is quite difficult to aquire.

U-shape front and rear supports and Motor / Pulley spacers are positioned in this image. Overdose and other brands of pulley mounting are supported.

Assembly with the normal 15T / 40T rear pulley sets are recommended for inital setting.
use the 15T 15T centre pulley combination for main pulley spacing.

Rear components can be placed next. in a later picture you will see this CS drive set replaced with a 40T ball differential.

Stabiliser brace or REW rear brace can be used in combination. rear diffuser position is also supported. 

front servo mount brace shown. Also... When using the TYPE 2 VIP front upper arm set, 1mm spacers are required.

This is due to the 1mm spacing of the front V2 bulkhead.

Type C brace is included for Type C conversion suspension. (not included) WUN Type I Upper arms with shafts are pictured.

GRK Slide rack supported.

Four positions on the upper deck.

DRB normal and reversed
GRK
Drift Package

.
Included wiper extensions can be used with your chosen steering wiper components.
Designed for DRB, but can also be used with drift package wipers for longer extension.

Customise to your needs.

Note: take care when connecting and removing ball ends. Too much force on these components will cause breakage. 

These two spacers are used with the bridge location

Battery tray assembly should be performed after drive components are installed.

Long screws and spacers should be used to support the battery tray. 18mm spacer is an alternative.

Battery mounted and suspension installed.

Support for Drift Package Overdose adjustable rear suspension is provided.

Note. these shocks have been extended with the use of a longer shock cap. as more droop is typically set in this weight shift setup, the full suspension stroke will be used. Of course final setting and track dependent settings are so variable.

I expect that no two DRB-REW will use the same components as these RWD yokomo conversions take on a similar direction as Drift Package conversions.

The original prototype currently in reverse wiper location.

these two machines use GRK slide rack and Yokomo wipers. different Supension Arms and knuckles so immediately settings are different. 

 Drift Package / DRB / GRK / WUN / OD and many other components have already been applied to these machines. 

NOTE:   Drive requires reverse motor direction. Consider a pulley setup if your ESC cannot support reverse motor direction.Changing to a pulley will keep the motor in original config.

To those who have indicated interest, chassis being readied for shipping.

If demand continues to be high, a second production run will be created.
