The revo is nuts, it will wheely from a standstill, and it must be doing at least 45mph on the top end, maybe more. It handles great with the center diff too. I am actually thinking of remaking may side plates in kybex and bending the sides up to offer some more battery protection. I also need to add a gasket to the center diff as it is slightly leaking! I am very happy with this setup and can't wait for the hacker motor to come in, think of the power!

Are you using stock diffs in this?

What diff gear ratio ya got there?

Stock diffs, and I am the third owner, after mailman and metalman, who built most of the truck. According to him he never had a diff issue, and put it to the fact the center diff takes the load off the heavily loaded diff, under acceleration and braking. It works well, all I had to do was play with the center diff mounts and make it work better.

I ran the same front/rear diffs the WHOLE time when I had that truck, and even I got that truck used... It did handle well, but seeing as I never set up the suspension at all (and admittedly never changed the shock oil), it could have done better. The "slipperential" has a ratio of 2.2:1 (44t spur, 20t pinion, unless linc changed it).

With 100k oil, a wing (black Hellfire wing + Tekno wing mount), and extended wheelbase arms it could easily wheelie and sometimes flip over, but the front tires still got HUGE.

With another Revo in my possession that is still nitro, I have contemplated various conversion methods. There's the "slipperential" (I quote it because that word belongs to Mike IMO), center diff only, stock tranny (a route I would never take), direct-drive to diff outrunner, and this new dual-outrunner electronic diff idea I have thought of.

How about a center diff with an outrunner with a pinion directly driving the diff, kind of like a truggy? On 5s an 800kv outrunner would do, with 20/46 gearing. Just an idea, I may try it out if i have enough parts to do it.

That setup has definitely crossed my mind (44t spur + 20-25t pinion), but I don't think any motors powerful enough for that setup have a high enough kv (bigger the motor, the lower the kv).

Check this out: Century 650a Plus

It looks to be just the right motor, even has a 5mm shaft. It weighs more than the axi 4120 motors, and they are good enough to do direct to diff.

Yes! Those are the ones that I've been wondering about!! :yes:

They look tough and wound for power!

Find me a good price on that 800kv model and I will make a new revo to run it. I have at least 1/2 of the parts to make a revo, maybe more!

I only have about 6 unfinished vehicles, so I need a new project! LOL

I'll keep looking. :yes:

I wouldn't mind finding me a good lsp roller at a good price. :whistle: LOL

Take a look at this motor:

http://www.innov8tivedesigns.com/pro...roducts_id=312

I think it has potential for an E maxx placement. Similiar to how I'm running the AXI 2826/10 through the transmission.

It mounts the same as a 550 motor (25mm spread). I just received an email response from Lucien over there. He says they are rated for 6S lipo! :yes:

Well, I know where a good lsp can be had for a good price. Hit me up with a PM if interested!

That motor looks good, and a good price too. The 1200 kv model looks good too, 6s on a 1400 kv motor is spinning to a decent rpm. These would require lower gearing which would be better for me as I have quite a few pinions for the necessary ratios.

Yes but as you look through these different models, notice the pole count changes and so does the magnet poles.

They are different winds and different stator arrangements also.

I chose the 1400kv because it is a 12 pole motor. This affects how much torque it going to make, not just the speed.

I like to look at the max. continous power in watts too. :yes:

I just ran the numbers and the 1400 looks good, I may have to buy one and try it out in the new emaxx on 5s. Would I need some sort of fan like the axi has, or does that motor have a built-in fan? The end of the can appears to have some sort of cooling slots.

That is a built in cooling fan. :yes:

I thought it was pretty interesting when I ran across it.

VEry nice rides man!!
