Revo 1/5 scale on road project
 

Hy there... for the first sorry my bad english.
I saw this thread of a 1/5 on road car made from traxxas parts... http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=145172

This is a video of what I hope to get http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGm-tL2xGvs

The motor will be a 2800kv 36mm74mm http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbyking/s...hless_Inrunner

The esc is a hobbyking 150A http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=10370

Two 3s 5000 turnigy

13 cm diameter on road wheels

Now I want to make a sway bar for the front axel.
What do you think of the motor?
If i get 100km/h im a happy guy:mdr:

.....

Motor is not gonna last long.. way too much rpm..

If he runs it on 3s... Yeh, needs to go to a 1600kv motor for 6s.

If you can afford it, you should get this or lower kv: http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbyking/s...hless_Inrunner

Will the HK 150A ESC handle 6s fine? It says it's rated for 2-4s... ?

That motor has a 6mm shaft. Pinions for it are more difficult to find. Since he is running a revo tranny he will use plastic spurs and can use non-hardened pinions. So he could drill out a 5mm pinion, but almost all of the 5mm pinions are hardened.

I like the kb motors, plenty of power. Ran a few of the L cans in on road cars, geared for 55mph and they did just fine, 4s setups too. On 6s with the right gearing and good lipos I see no reason he could not do 62mph (100kpm). I would use a MMM, we know they work.

Yep I will use 3 s lipo....the two packs will be connected in parallel.
And I want to stik with the KD motor because I saw a savage converted to brushless with that motor and it just fly!!enought speed for me... and this revo will be more lighter than that savage so it will accelerate and go faster...

I found a nice m3 boddy on ebay and if i don`t find something else I will buy it.

The project will be done in december because of lack of funds.

That 2800kv motor will not push a 1/5 scale car to 62+mph successfully....

The video you linked was using a CC/Neu 2200kv motor. The motor is a man compared to the child of a motor you want to use.

Indeed, the setup here seems a little 'confused' for what the OP wants to acheive. A 1/5 scale onroad, on 6s lipo, that would be a great candidate for the MMM & 2200v motor- a 2800kv motor on 3s is barely suitable for a 1/10-1/8 onroad.

I would suggest a hobbywing 150amp esc, ~1600-1900kv XL motor and 6s for a fast setup, bit cheaper than the MMM and should hold up alright.

OK i changed my mind... I will make it a baja tipe car...maybe a sandraill tipe car.

So i started on the roll cage.I will be more complex but I need to figure out how I want it to look at the end.I like the black sandraill in the picture I posted.

....

Made a short video of my progres... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxSIrvibbtg


I will use the 1900kv motor and 5s lipo.

Cool!

Poke around here, there are I think at least two threads about other 5th scale off-road Revo conversions. And I believe on on-road, although he created a complete flat chassis for it (lower center of gravity).

New pic!

Thats looking pretty cool so far. :yes:

Ok sorry for my absense on this topic... I plan to buy the KB45-08XL 1600kv Brushless Inrunner http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbyking/s...idProduct=4937 for the car the problem is the shaft is 6mm and the pinion as you know 5mm... If ii run the motor and use a grinder to grind the saft to 5mm,is it a good ideea?
I will use two 3s lipo 5000 in series.
I saw this esc it says that it can handle max 200A... did anybody used one of this esc? http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=14500 i don`t need reverse,and the break is the original disk break from the revo.

Hello ABP,

I recently received a CC 1717 motor which happened to be the "air" version which also had a 6mm shaft. Well, since I have a few others I decided to have at the shaft myself. I took the motor apart and put the rotor in a cordless drill. Then I used a dremel tool with a cutoff wheel.

Technique is probably key here, but I held the cordless drill steady in my lap (facing outwards of course!) and while spinning the rotor, I used the cutoff wheel as if I were trying to cut the shaft down the center line, moving it back and forth as far down as I wanted to remove material. I had a 5mm pinion handy to check for tolerances as I went along.

The whole process took me about 20 minutes. Once I removed enough material (evenly too, I might add), I polished everything smooth with a polishing wheel on the dremel tool (rotor still in the cordless drill) and finally put a larger flat on the shaft to finish things off. Hope this helps!
