Is there anything stronger that fit into the e-revo?
The guys on here are only trying to help, so the arrogant attitude of "but take into account i know what kind of power it can handle" means absolutely nothing when you've never had any brushless experience before.

If you're just getting into brushless:

If you're just looking to beat the stock Nitro Revo:

If you're just looking to beat all the Nitro boys:

Then PLEASE, learn what the limitations are of the drivetrain that you're dealing with.

The stock E Revo drivetrain is pretty strong, BUT.........

If you're going for the most power you can stuff into a Revo, plan on throwing a bunch of money at upgrading the diffs and the rest of the driveline too.

Check out the RC Monster store for some of the toughest Revo diffs around. I have a set. They are Tough!

Properly setup brushless power delivers torque that Nitro can't deliver.

Even a mild brushless setup will leave the Nitro Revo in it's dust.

A few suggestions:

1. Figure out what top speed you're looking for. This depends on what you're going to be doing with the truck.

A. Bashing - 40mph top speed is just fine for me. Best balance of wheelie popping torque and controllability

B. Racing - Top speed runs or track use? If track use is going to be the norm, let your decision be based on how long the track is, and how long the race is going to last. For top speed runs, the sky is the limit. I believe the fastest Monster Truck so far is pushing 80mph or so.

Best Bang for the buck? Get a Monster Combo from Castle Creations. Then get yourself some good Lipos.

What i meant in that reply is that i understood it was to help me :)

But what you dont understand is that i have good knowledge of RC in general and im not 100% noob in brushless , i have seen a lot and driven(not owned) MMM v3 neu 1515d before on 6s.
(its not because i only have 3-4 post on this forum that you have to think i know nothing, but i still need your help for my question , my first language is french so may be i am a little too much direct with my approach... i try my best to write in english.


Im sorry if it was misunderstood on my part. But my question was simple, money is no object, my friend dont care if anything broke, he just want the most RIDICULOUS setup. i repeat, the most ridiculous setup.

This have nohing to do with me, im just trying to help my friend getting the setup he want. :)



Thx Arct1k for the info :)

Anything can run 10-12S on the revo? if batteries fit...

Fair enough. I can appreciate your effort to type in English. I can only imagine how bad it would be if I were to try and type in French.

To answer your question, there are two primary limitations on what will fit in the E-Revo:

1) The battery trays will really only fit up to 3S 5000mAh per side, for a total of 6S 5000mAh. Or, a lower capacity and higher cell count would work also.

2) The motor must be around 3" or less in length or the can will hit the rear shock supports.

Given those limitations and assuming he doesn't want to completely hack up his stock chassis, the motor will have to be a 1515 or Medusa 80mm as a maximum.

Even though Neu 1521's and 1527's have been recommended, they simply will not fit without modification if he's using the single motor plate. My Castle Monster 2200kv just barely clears the rear shock supports.

They'll fit, just gotta use the other mount Certainly not practical and an 80mm Medusa is the best choice IMO, but there's always the option.

I have an 80mm Medusa and I'm fairly sure it'll fulfill the need for speed, very powerful motor.


All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.
