E-motor mount for Nitro Revo

btw i was saying to use two 7 v packs , instead of wiring the hvmaxx for one 14 v pack such as 4s lipo, you will lose some bec voltage

Well I was trying to be lazy thing about Kershaw's chassis until I did a search. So now I'm just going to use my stock chassis and makes some battery brackets...I already ordered Mike's bracket before I saw the Kershaw chassis :027:

Well so fair I got her stripped down and she was dirty. So while I wait on Mike's bracket I'm going to try and figure out my Servos and gear box. My truck still has the dual steering servos, so I guess now is a good time to convert to a single. I'm not sure how to do the brake yet...I thought the ESC had it's own brake? Thenj on the gear box, I was thinking of doing a single speed?

If you want reverse and motor brake, you will have to do the single speed mod. If you don't do the single speed conversion, the one-way-bearing on first gear will prevent you from using the motor brake.

While you're in the tranny, you might want to decide if you want to gear down or up depending on the motor you use. If you use the HVMaxx, you might want to get the narrow-ratio gear set. If you use an XL motor, you can use the standard or wide ratio gear sets. Picking the right gear set will give you the most flexibility in choosing the spur/pinion tooth counts. BTW: In all three gear sets, second gear is the only one that changes. Check out the speed calculator link in my sig and you'll see what I mean.

Awsome!


Well this electric stuff is additive lol While I'm figuring out my Revo I'm converting my Tmaxx into an Emaxx :027: I'll use the HV maxx on it and find something better for the Revo. That way I want have to rush and have plenty of time to research stuff like 8000mah batteries I keep hearing about.
