Welcome to the forum, you can either browse the revo section, or just search "revo conversion" and you will find some good pics and info. I have done a few revos and think leaving the stock tranny in and using a rcm motor mount is the easiest way, You have to mod the chassis quite a bit to get an emaxx/erevo tranny in there, as the mounting spacing is quite different.

the only problem leaving the stock tranny in is that it strips alot! im running a 6cell 5000 lipos with a mamba monster esc and a neu 15152d 2050kv motor and all it does is strip no matter how you tune the esc.

i used rrp gears locked in second gear.

stock tranny, but i sold my revo a while ago and bought a crt x1

I Did that too and locked my second gear but kept breaking pimery shafts instead of gears going out.. looks like the onlt way to go is either a e-revo tranny or a e-maxx one.. but i have no clue how to mount it..

Dremel + eye balls + cardboard template + couple hours work = success.

This is bread & butter basics of modification, all you're doing is removing a little metal from the chassis until the new tranny fits, then make a mount for the side of the tranny that needs it so it can bolt in place- as per the pics.

If you cant figure out something so straight forward, maybe you might want to reconcider your options. A spare chassis costs about $10 on ebay should you feel the need to practice...

I ran a stock 2.5 tranny, with first removed and 2nd locked in with JB Weld for the longest! I ran it with both a Neu 1515/1Y and MMM 2650 combo. I never stripped a tranny gear.
