My E Revo

[Ken448]

Heres my go at building an E Revo. Used a 2.5 Chassis, Johnson st550 motors, E Savage Tranny, E Sav Slipper, E Sav ESC and E Maxx center shafts. Since I run an Ebay chop shop for E Savages, I kind of have the parts at my disposal :)
Will go BL in a while, but am waiting to see what CC is up to, then I will decide what BL setup to run!

Saw this and the vid on traxxas forums. Great work!

You don't really need to wait, since the current one can take 5S already. 5S realy is all you need for a nice racer/basher.

that looks awsome and I like the brace in the rear I hope mine works as good.

Haven't seen your e-revo before, but it looks really nice. Although it is not brushless, lol, the set up is very clean which si what I like. Good job on the conversion!! :027:

Ken448,



Do you have photos or diagrams of how you adapted the E-Maxx tranny???

[Ken448]

Its not a E Maxx Tranny, it is an E Savage Tranny. I used aluminum angle brackets to attach it to the chassis.

OK, the time has come to add a BL setup to this bad boy. I want to use the Mamba Max controller (price and tunability) I plan on running 14 cells max. Whats a good motor to run, and what sppeds would I expect to see with the recommended motor? Id LIKE to do 40ish, but close will suffice ;)

I would go with the Feigao 7XL on 4S if I were you, but 14 cells will yield good performance as well.

[Ken448]

explain the diffrence between the 7 8 and 9??

The number represents the number of turns of wire on the coils. Higher numbers mean less kv (rpm per volt).
