New member here. finished another project that i had going, and now it's onto this unfinished project. this is what i have.

mmmv2
spektrum dx2
tekno conversion
tranny w/single only conversion, wide ratio, locked in second gear
333oz hitech servo

that's it for the big stuff.

so basically this is what i need help with.

1. which motor.
2. which batteries.
3. should i upgrade to spektrums new dx3s.
4. what gear setup should i be using? pinon, spur, whatever.
5. anything other info, tips, things i should get.

im a basher, i just wanna fly around a parking lot at nitro speed for 20 minutes or so per battery. i want something efficient, and not too crazy.

heres the pics:

1. which motor. Neu 1515 1Y or...2.5D
2. which batteries. Neu 5S or Mikes 5S
3. should i upgrade to spektrums new dx3s. I would, you will eventually.
4. what gear setup should i be using? pinon, spur, whatever. Use BrianG's speed calculator to get the rpm's up around 40K+
5. anything other info, tips, things i should get. buy the parts now to upgrade your diff cases/cups to aluminum - you will need them sometime in the near future,

Have you run a Revo in stock config before? If so, give us a report on those Integy shocks. Aw Hell, give us a report anyway..!

Motor- 1y on 4s or 2.5d on 5s
Batts- any enerland based cells such as neu or Mike's LiPos
Radio- you already have a 2.4ghz setup so I'd worry about spending the money elsewhere for now

And while your waiting send in your v2 for a v3

Just buy the MMM 2200 combo for 300. Plenty of power, great price, neu licensed motor. Can run on 4-6s with plenty of speed and power. Batteries stick with enerland cells as suggested already and a 2.4ghz radio is best although a good FM radio will work too.

George16 · 12.16.2008, 09:21 PM

1515 1Y on 4 or 5S
Enerland based lipos
I'll pick the 4PKS over the DX3S
I'm using 36/15 spur/cb
Buy RRP gears for the tranny and rcm diffs.

white4fiddy · 12.17.2008, 04:54 AM

ill let ya know how things turn out.

~1300kv motor on 6s lipo? Thats not exactly a common choice, you will have to gear up rather alot to make decent topspeed Im willing to bet...

I run a 1515 2.5d (1650kv) on 5s. My motor is only spinning about 2000RPM's more than his will be. I don't think he'll have to gear to crazy unless he's trying to get more than 40MPH out of his setup. If anything it'll be a lot more driveable. I originally started out on 6s but it was insane and impossible to keep the front wheels down.

TDC57 · 12.17.2008, 05:31 PM

Verry cool build.. nice and clean!.. looking good.. best of luck and be sure to post bashinhg video!..

P.S.
Welcome to the monster!..

white4fiddy · 12.18.2008, 06:16 PM

i wanted a setup that was near or a little faster than nitro speeds, with a decently long runtime and extreme efficiency. im a basher, i dont care about doing 60+mph i just want something fun, looks good and will last awhile.

i have the 1515 2.5d on 5cell too. it doesnt leave alot of room of gearing, at 17/38 (max gearing possible with the tekno kit)

the top speed is 36mph, thats perfect for me because i race on a tight track, but if you want to go faster,i would go with the 1515 2d or 1515 1y if you want to go over 40mph.

also a 6cell setup would be alot more fun!

so a 6cell and 1515 2d would give you alot more options in gearing and nitro smokeing speed

white4fiddy · 12.19.2008, 09:52 PM

ups should be here tonight! hopefully ill have everything i need!

Gearing options on an actial E-REVO not a converted one are wide open! On 5s I can gear for well over 45 if I want to. Not sure what the temps would be though. I'm geared for about 38 with great temps!
