Planning a summer E-Revo build!

Finally found my camera and tripod. That said, here are the promised photos!









My sketchy, but sturdy transmission mounting job. I need to drill out the other 4th hole in the chassis, but I'll wait and see if I have any problems without it first.


The shiny dust is aluminum shavings from when I was grinding/cutting. My can of canned air just decided to die on me, so I need to grab a new one.

Too excited to leave the hub carriers off... so I put them on without the dust boots, which are in the mail. I'll run it without the boots until it becomes a problem, then I'll put them on. :P

I was going to go with a purple only color scheme, but I liked the purple arms with blue accents elsewhere. So I bought the blue battery ties that'll tie down the purple TrueRC pack.

It looks like the item that will determine when this is running will be the 4mm bullet connectors I bought for the motor/esc... but I'm not sure 4mm will be large enough for the amount of electricity going through this... I might just hit up Radioshack (if they have them) for some larger diameter plugs.

Still trying to decide where I'll mount the Quark. I might mount it in front of the battery, since that would be the easiest place to put it... but I might also be underestimating the size. I don't want to wait for a set of standoffs to do a mount like Stumblin's, so I might just temporarily put the Quark on top of the receiver box.

Good job on the conversion!
I noticed you were thinking about using the quark 80b on 6s but I hear that they have a hard time running on 6s. If anyone else uses a quark 80b on 6s then I too would like to know.
So just to be safe I would recommend only going up to 5s on the quark.

I run a quark 65 on 6s lipo in a hyper8 buggy, and it does fine. Gearing is important when running electronics at the rated limit. If you gear for 40mph you should be fine with the 80b on 6s.
