E revo direct drive out runner

[BL-Power]

I've done some testing with outrunners in my CRT.5 and the best ESC for outrunners is the Sidewinder. I was using a Kontronik Jazz 80, a Quark Competition 80 and a MM before but no one is as smooth as my Sidewinder. I'm running it on 4s with UBEC, has anyone already tried 5s? I would love to put it in my HB Lightning Buggy on 5S.

Here is a small vid, as you can see it allows my to do drive so smooth and slow with a total ratio of 3,25 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkAd3LFKwgU

I think the greatest advantage of an outrunner conversion is the possibility to save much weight, the RTR weight of my CRT.5 with Jato Wheels is only 4.1lbs. I've got runtimes of 15min-20min and this with a 2000mah 4s Zippy lipo and it's wheeling all the time.



It would be great if anyone could do some outrunner testing with the MMM, lets hope that it has the same software as the sidewinder. I think in your case, 5s or 6s are the way to go. I am using a KD36-8XL in my .5, you could have a look at the larger ones that HC has in stock. I was using a Turnigy 500kv Outrunner in my 8S Revo, it was also working very nice together with a Jazz 55-10-32 ESC.

Here is how I did a DD setup. This is the easiest IMO.

Made brackets out of 1/4 inch aluminum for the center diff.


Drilled two holes for the front bracket and bolted the rear in using the tranny holes.


I used the stock front drive shaft and an axle shaft for the rear.


Slap on battery holders of choice.

And you have a kick ass E-Revo.

Build thread here if your interested.

Nice, but in this case that's not direct drive. That's direct drive to a centre diff.

I am working on this. I had bad luck with some bad A123 cells and using the Turnigy 100 A Plush ESC with a Turnigy outrunner (50-55, 600 kv).

But I just got a new Dewalt pack and the MMM is coming tomorrow. I saw your Youtube vid, so I'm looking forward to seeing what this can do on 6S.

EDIT: it's a Lightning buggy
