I got a little bored waiting on parts to arrive for my E Revo conversion. So I decided to dig through my goodies. (You know, those boxes of parts and extra goodies.)

What I found was a Cyclon Car 2000kv Outrunner motor. (Does this motor look familiar Jhautz? LOL) I also found a Quark 33amp Procar ESC, and a fan with mount from a Novak setup. I also found a 18tooth pinion for the motor and a 74 tooth Robinson slipper setup.

I decided to put together a setup that wasn't built for top speed. It's a setup that isn't the top of the ladder as far as power goes. But that's not the point with this setup.

One of the biggest benefits of brushless is that it's more efficient than using brushed motors. I wanted to put together something that would perform alot better than stock, but not so radical that I couldn't see the extra runtime that Brushless will give.

I was also curious about this Quark 33amp Procar. An Emaxx is ALOT of truck for it to be pushing around. This is also why I chose this gearing. "Let it wind up with the lower gearing" I thought.

On board, I have 8000mah of 4S2P Lipo (cheap ones, I'm not that impressed with).

I now have a MRC Superbrain 989 charger. It's a GREAT charger/discharger. It will measure how many mah I put back in during the charging process.

I took it out today between showers and it performs pretty good. The Cyclon is alot more powerful and has more torque than the stock twin titans these come with. Tops out about 35mph or so. But it will take off in 2nd gear without any sign of cogging, just like it does in 1st. It will carry the front end pretty good considering.

When the weather breaks, I intend to do runtime tests. Minutes of runtime versus mah of power used. This should be interesting.

I've really got to hand it to Quark. I didn't think the little ESC would do it. The heat sink does get warm if I stab it good, and feel of it right away, but the fan cools it off quickly too. I ran it for about 45 minutes today and it didn't thermal.
