BL Revo using Revo Transmission?

Just FYI, the Tanic and Poly RC packs should be the same due to the same cell origin - Enerland. If you were to get that pack, get the Tanic version, as Tanic is well known for customer service (not that Cheap Battery Packs isn't, it's just that I've seen Tanic's CS).

Yeah, the TrueRC is hard to beat for the capacity/price. But the weight is just about as heavy as the NiMHs I'm using. The Tanic pack is much lighter and still has 5Ah with good discharge rates.

Now to come up with cash. I still have a BK 12020 for sale (hint hint). ;)

Well, my original idea for locking the Revo tranny into second gear needed to be rethought. After running this afternoon, I was cleaning it up and noticed the tranny acting funny. So, I took it apart and discovered shredded epoxy all over the place. Strangely enough, the rest of the tranny gears look as good as new! :032: I was expecting to see a complete mess, but I'm not complaining. :)

So, I tried something else to lock that shifting hub into the second gear. I filed some round spots at three locations around the metal hub and then screwed three 4mm bolts into the gear. This should be strong enough, but only time will tell.
