Hi all,

Many have asked about clear sleeves, so over my break I had a shot a making a couple. I'm fairly happy with how they turned out. If you'd like to know more about how they were made, then have a look at my latest blog post where you'll see more images, and also one with a core in it.

I posted these on Facebook, and had a couple of people mention that they'd be interested in one. They take about 5 hours to make each, and including springs would probably be around $60 ... I initially thought $50, but that's without the springs.

If you're interested in me making more of these, then drop me a note, and depending on the interest, and Chris Pitt's OK, then I'll consider making some. No promises!

That's downright awesome Juggler!

I'm in for at least one, maybe more than one. Nice work. While its nice to duplicate all the details of the V1 sleeve, I think the clearer the better. Just my 2 cents.

I agree with you Peter. I made the duplicate to show what could be done, and to make something which would be a true clear revo sleeve. The completely smooth version is much better as a 'clear' sleeve, as everything is visible with it. Although I posted a picture with a maze in the replica, I cannot do the same for the smooth sleeve as it would certainly give too much away.

very nice Neil would definitely be interested in a couple (maybe one of each)

Those look great Neil! ... and they'd make the dexterity bit on the Red SO much easier!

ahhhh, i never thought of that!!!! i shall finally get that "treasure" after all

That is a great novelty, especially as it fits perfectly.

I investigated buying acrylic tube for this purpose, but the tolerance on tubes is generally way too much to make it work as a real revo.
Does the material allow fitting a spring and pin? If so there would be no need to wait for the "cut-out sleeve" which we were expecting to see for sale from Revo HQ before Christmas...

Count me in for one of each.

How much do they weigh in comparison? How about friction? I think this would be a great way to introduce a friend to the idea behind them.
