Help me build my brushless REVO - RC-Monster Forums

Ok guys I just scored on a couple of used revos.

One of them runs great but I really hate nitro rc's with a passion. I love the revo design and feel so I want to do the brushless conversion. Everyone in my area is stuck on their crappy nitro trucks and I want this revo to completely embarrass and hurt their delicate feelings lol….if you know what I mean.

Ok so the obvious parts I need are the G2R conversion kit and the GorillaMaxx single speed transmission. I assume the Warrior 9920 controller will work fine, but I could get the 12020 Warrior controller if you think it would be better for a 4 or 6 cell lipo setup. I need to know which of the BK motors is going to work best for my setup (Wanderer 8XL?). It gets hot were I live so anything that can keep the heat down on the motor and controller will be good. As for batteries I am looking at the 8000Mah 2 cell lipos from maxamps.com. Maxamps also has a 6000mah 3cell that’s priced right. I could go with 2 of those but I’m not sure if 6cell lip is to much for the motor/controller. Seems like an awful lot of voltage lol. I kinda like the idea of having the option to run regular 6cell batteries as well as the lipos. But if that makes things too complicated then its no big deal and I’ll just stick with lipo only.

So is that everything I will need to be up and running? What bodies fit the G2R? I like this one here http://www.pro-lineracing.com/prolin...0/3148-60.html but I am not sure if it fits or not. If there are any other must have hopups for revo then please bring them to my attention.

Thanks for the help guys, I love this forum.

If your looking to keep temps down, then I would aim for a higher voltage set up (lower current). Those 6000mah 3s lipos packs on maxamps look pretty good for the price. With this set-up I would look at a wanderer 10XL and 9920. Are you looking to convert both trucks?

No the one truck runs good so I'll probably just sell it and convert the truck that is missing its motor. Oh and by the way there are no races in my area so I will be using this only for bashing.

That 6000mah battery is rated at 60 amp constant, 72 amp burst for 10 seconds. Is that enough discharge for my needs?

I'll give you $10 for the second revo..........:005:

good luck

If you going for an all out basher and stuff. Maybe you would think about just modding the chassis it is on. Then your body and all will fit still. The g2r is nice but that is up to you. There are a few evos around here in the forum. If that is an option for you.

That sounds good to me if it saves me money. I thought the g2r was the only option we had for converting revo to electric. Is there a how too somewhere?

Yes there is a couple threads around here for it. Dafni was one of the first to do it. He has a thread in here some where. Has a couple more to. Rchippie is another to do one.
