Another electric conversion for the masses
 

http://www.bluegrooveconcepts.com/ca...ategory_id=204 they have one for the CRT.5 and the revo. They seem to use a Monster type mount (direct pinion) over the tekno type (engine clutch)

Looks rather cheap to me! (and i am not talking about the price..)

No body-off pics of the "CRT E.5"... I'm willing to bet it's not as good as mine :lol:.

That's quite a bit.. $100.. that's crazy.. for a $10 Piece of aluminum?..

I see they also have a Revo kit. Although, I would never run just 3s on anything that heavy - current draw would be too high for a given power IMO.

i totally agree Brian.. 2S would be more appropriate..

lol, why not go with 1s10p? :smile:

With a 8000Kv motor and a 400A controller you should be good to go!

Check out my LV setup..

Not to be rude, but what kind of idiot takes pictures of a conversion with the body off? Looking at tekno's web pics it is no wonder that they are selling, loads of high quality detailed pics. People like to see what they are buying, and will pay more for better pics and more detailed info. Had a a buddy that used to sell sports cars on ebay. His listings were 3-4 pages long and had all kinds of info. He routinely made more than 1-2 thousand more than similar vehicles and we put it down too the fact that his listings were more interesting!

It definitely helps to know what you are buying. I think I will avoid that revo conversion like the plague.

Not to beat a dead horse...

or molest a bunny with huge nuts...

wait. that's not a saying.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Wish that I could get it to move, for some reason the .gif will not work when it is linked thru this forum. Anyone care to help?

dang.... I saw the name Bluegroove and was hoping that it was the same company that did the BG2 and BG4 kits.... its not... :whip:

Who needs detailed picks anyways. I love the feeling of dropping $100 on something that I've never seen. It adds to the excitement... :na:.... Kind of like playing the lottery... :lol:

ROFLMAO :lol:

:rofl: thats hilarious

Yeah, I think I can get it to work, just PM me and I'll send you my email addy. Or, if you have it online somewhere, tell me the direct URL...

careful brian... sure you wanna open that pandora's box? we could all be emotionally damaged at seeing that image move! i'm poking my minds eye out right now just imagining what it'll do... EEEEEK!

EDIT: aaaaaaaauuuuugggh! you fixed it and it's worse than i thought! kermit is SMACKING the poor bunny in the nuts!

(man the tears are streaming down my face from laughing so hard... that thing is fuh-neee! nice find, pimp!)

Crap.. what happened to Kermit!? did you gave it a few pints of cappuccino?!

It looks a tad more active than before..

I don't know who to be sorry for.. Kermit is looking like he has the time of his life, but i think he is pulling an act, like only a professional actor can..

That avatar is right up there with Squee's spastic fat kid.

well, back to the revo kit if you dont mind. it said that they were testing the revo using the mega motors ANc/22/30/1E and the MM esc. would this be a good setup for 4s?

I have not seen a conversion yet with a meega motor, save for the blue brick deal in the pics on mega's site.

Serum - Kermit has not received any formal training in the adult industry. He is a natural and talent like his simply cannot be overlooked. The bunny has "talent" too, just in other "areas" that also cannot be overlooked.

well how about this lehner 1930/9 vs. "blue brick deal" which one?

The huge nuts on that bunny still confuse me.. Look at the size of that suckers..

The only person that goes by the nick-name 'bunny' in the industry gets his acts done in less than the blink of an eye, and that's NOTHING to be proud of.

I think we need to come up with a more suitable nickname for your bunny.. Kermit is a a natural, but that bunny..

Something like BBB, BigBallBunny..

Or NuttyBunny..

Or WhiteBallBunny

Nutty Bunny would only apply when Kermit is done. And he seems to have some stamina, wonder what his secret is? BBB sounds fitting, pity the bunny will never go annywhere due to the lack of legs!

There must be facilities for guys like him..

But on the other hand.. Who cares if you've got nuts you can roll on..

I thought it's no secret that Kermit can go day and night.. He had quite an exercise on miss piggy, remember?

This bunny is like a walk through the park..

Actually his stamina is self-taught. Miss Piggy would not give it up, and Kermit thought he could wait her out. That plan did not work so he moved on. I personally feel that the bunny is a rebound relationship, it will not last.

yeah, kermie doesn't like the overly-bossy, self-righteous likes of miss piggy. the White Wabbit seems much more docile, and obviously accepting.

what confuses me is why the Wabbit is nodding his head. it must be a masochist... getting his nuts smacked like that and liking it. oh well - rebound or not, it seems a match made in heaven... errrr, on carpet.

Must be the rebound indeed. Looks like Kermit is putting a lot of force in the last few mm/cm's..

The Megamotors are good, but I have yet to hear/see anyone run one on RCM, so I wouldnt know what esc & gearing etc worked best. The 1930/9 is a bit small for an MT that weighs more than about 9lbs-10lbs, but it is in the right KV area for 4s operation- not 3s. 3s is just too low a voltage to run in a large MT- 4s and the 1940/7 would be ideal, and could work with the MM esc, Quark125b of MGM 160/18 etc.

That animated avatar is brilliant!

:) Too bad I've never patented motor mount approach :)

So, after 2-3 years, any feedback on handling/ease-of-use of gorilla-type and REVO-like Electric conversions?
- let's ignore kits price for a moment

No way, that motor mount is even better- raises the motor up higher above the spur (rather than beside it) to eliminate any potential for rubbing against the upper a-arm.

this stuff happens all the time in rc land griffin.. Too bad it's hard for some people to admit it..

I love my gorilla G2R, I got one of, if not the first one sold by Mike. I have not regretted the decision, all i need it a V2 slipperential and it will be done. its scratched up, beat up and one X-brace is bent where the tranny sits, but it runs awsome on track or sand lot
