Project outrunner e-savage

[Pedebeater]

I just found this. It is shorter but wider. The stator dimensions are all larger. It has a 6mm shaft instead of a 8mm. It also has 20 more kv, will that make a serious difference?

Thanks again for all of the help.

20kv will not make a noticeable different.

IMO, either one of those motors has potential. Either one will work.

At this point, I would base my decision on which size shaft will make for the easiest hookup.

IF your truck's stock transmission shaft is 6mm in diameter, then I would go with that one.

Then I would get a stock transmission shaft that is the length you need. The Original E maxx tranny output shaft is 65mm in length and 6mm in diameter. The stock Revo output shaft is 85mm in length. Each one has a steel "hump" in it, but that's easy to turn down. Stick it in a drill. While spinning it, use a grinder or a file on it. Go slow when you get it close so you don't remove too much material. Final polishing can be done with sandpaper.

I would get the Turnigy 50-55 600kv because it has the 8mm shaft. Use the RCM 8mm output yokes for the revo driveshafts and you'll be set. BTW: Just stripped out my 5th and final stock 3.3 output yoke today doing some testing. Im really getting tired of this... RCM 8mm output yokes are a must!

I can attest to the quality and stoutness of the rcm output yokes. They are very nicely made! Thanks Monster Mike!

What mod are you talking about? Just the mount? Is $20 the lowest he would charge? I got a lot of stuff to buy. If you got any more sketches or anything on that mount please shoot it my way, I still need to see that it would work with those batteries.


Thanks Takedown

[Pedebeater]

Looks like that is my choice then.


Thank you again lincpimp, takedaown and sike for all of the great help.

Oh and Im gonna send that guy thats making my motor mount an e-mail or talk to him over AIM and see what he can do. Im guessing he'll charge you around $20 for the finished mount and $5 shipping which is a nice deal. So what do you think of that idea with the battery setup that I showed you yesterday? Would you be interested in that because if you didnt do that mod it would have not nearly enough space to fit that monster 50-55 600kv outrunner in their. Im also looking into a way to fit a revo 3.3 driveshaft threw the front center driveline space. Might be able to mod those steering links. But ya untill then we'll see how it all plays out.

[Takedown]

Ya he's asking $21 shipped which is a steal! As for the mod I would have no idea were to start at first...

[Takedown]

I would have to lay some sketches out then see which thing we can tackle first and go step by step from their.

[Pedebeater]

I am making prety good progress. I found a way to mount the batteries so they will not be in the way of the motor mount. Was not hard at all, just some good thinkin and some washers. I would take pictures but there really isn't anything to see.


As of now my decision is the Turnigy 50-55 600kv. Looks very promising.

[Takedown]

Good luck!

[Takedown]

I hope it turns out they way you like.

[Pedebeater]

Thank you very much. I do too.




This guy seems promising.

[Takedown]

Ya thats why Im having him make me one to.

[Pedebeater]

Good luck with yours too. They should both be well made.
