I just got mine yesterday. The suspension is soft, but smooth as butter. Works great on pavement because its almost impossible to traction-roll it (I was running in the rain, may e easier to roll over on dry pavement). The suspension has a lot of body lean on the turns, but that keeps it from rolling over.

My Brushless E-Maxx suspension is much harder, but it is also much heavier.

pinion question
 

got a new e revo...with the 6-5 hv max...what pitch and tooth count should i run...thanks...

Mine came in today. The suspension feels very plush, but I will most likely up the oil and change to the other springs. Also will be doing a Full RPM conversion on it and the MMM + Neu 1512 2.5D setup on it.

Posted this on another thread, but it may help someone out, the TrueRC 15C 8000mah packs do fit the Erevo battery trays if you remove the tensioner. Figure this may be about the same for the 20C Maxamps packs as well.

:gasp: Everyone getting their E-Revo....Mine will arrive earliest next week :oh:

Good for me I guess...I can see gearing questions and suspension updates... keep them coming :)

hi jeremy1976, just wondering how much you paid for the e-revo if you don't mine telling cause i'm thinking about getting in hong kong but we got nothing here yet, and no id when are we going to get it

Note those going with aftermarket servos, dual setup:

One of the leads from the servo may not be long enough. I just found that out with my S3305's . Will need an extender

Also, there appears to be some stops in the steering race that prevent the steering from going too far. wonder if they could be removed with no detriment to the vehicle.

Got mine rebuilt with RPM parts, traxxas CVDs, and traxxas splined hubs with LPR bowties mounted. Just need to get it all electrified.

$469 was the price.

thanks and i'll see if i'm able to get the e-revo in hong kong

Good luck bud!

Jeremy, this is really exciting. I have been a fan of the F1-type suspension for awhile now. This design looks to be a winner. Coming hot off the heels of a new Slash (sweet), I feel oddly compelled to buy one of these. Henry is getting long in the tooth, and is due for a major refit, and here comes a fresh project for me. I'll run the stock power system as long as I can stand it, then it'll be a Quark 125 with the Faigao 9L and two Maxamps 8000 HVs.

I'll be watching your posts. I know you'll put it through the ringer.

P.S. This might just be what all of us old B-Maxxers need.

I also just got a new E-Revo. Posted pix on another thread
I used components I had laying around to sup it up a little:
(Feigao 9L and Quark 80Amp ESC)

Hay Jeremy1976
Soooo how is it holding up after it's first full weekend of bashing??. What are your plans for upgrading at this point?.

Sweat truck..

Is it possible to reverse the center tranny around (so the spur faces the front like an Emaxx?

Would make more sense for a single motor conversion, if the motor in the middle remained... but if it was facing the other way.. would have a lot more room.

Just tryin to figure out some ideas for my next project.

Having some heat issues with the MM at this time. I am going to run a fan on it and see if that helps any. I have to say though this thing just rips!!!! I have all my settings on the MM at the lowest too. Cannot wait to get my MMM and open it up a little.

well, I plan on getting a E-revo in a month or so....and will be running the following....but would like a suggestion on what gearing to use
quark 125b
feigo 7xl w/ rcm heatsink
maxamps 8000 mah 2s2p (4s) lipo's
any suggestions would be helpfull
