Thanks

Definitely the easiest way. Balance is pretty close as well with these setups.

I did a 2.5 conversion. I used RC-M mount, Tekno tray, tekno rx box, and JB welded the Revo tranny in 2nd. I removed the mechanical brake and made a plate to mount my MMM right there. This way the motor and mmm on the left side countered the battery and electronics on the right side. Front to back wasn't off by much as well. But I also used the 2.5...

I have a couple motors for sale that would scream in a Revo conversion...

N. Rustler conversion

The more I'm reading about the conversion in this format the more I'm getting sold on it. I ideally want this truck for the track only so I'm thinking of keeping the F&R servo brakes, useing a CD also. Thanks.

I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.

Magman, yes, that is pretty much in perfect balance, left/right and front/rear. I plan to split my 6s packs into 3s packs for one on each side like that... I just didn't have the time or the parts (3s balance plugs) to do so.

OFF to the post office! Hopefully I get my parts!

Yup, that is why I did that setup orginally. Wanted to try it since I hadn't seen anyone flip the tranny around, and it happened to work great.
