erevo rEvo reVolt :) anyway.. my conversion using 3905 parts

[stum]

Got some great ideas during my project from this site so I figured I would post up my revo brushless conversion to help anyone else starting out.

Thanks to everyone who helped along the way via prior posts or comments in mine as well! Much appreciated!!
Items used:

• New Revo 3.3 Roller, stripped down the stock tranny and well all electronics and the diffs sold on ebay.
• New Emaxx 3905 (if you couldn't tell from the title) Stripped the tranny, front drive shaft, both diff's, radio box & well that is it really.. the rest will eventually hit ebay if I like the rEvo enough (keeping the servo's for my Rusty though... hehe
• Picked up 2 New Era battery trays
• Picked up 8 nuts from the hardware shop, everything else was from my Rustler extra's or the emaxx or revo
• Picked up two small velcro straps from Wallyworld
• Hitec HS-985MG servo
• Pro-Line Aluminum Steering Arms Blue Anodized Revo
• Stuck in my unused Velineon ESC mounting plate
• Used 1 old small piece of plastic under the emaxx's receiver box to mount with
• Did quite a bit of very precise dremel work and drilling and a lot of staring while I figured out the 'next' step.

Started out with a new revo roller I stripped and sold off the nitro parts.. and a brand spankin new emaxx 3905



Some dremel work








PART II on next post! The pic doesn't show it but I dropped in the long shaft from my emaxx to drive the front of my erevo (so yes it is 4wd) AND YES IT WAS A PERFECT FIT, STOCK REVO REAR SHAFT WAS USED FOR THE REAR.

PART II

Made my ESC tray and mounts for the emaxx water resistant radio box






Designed a better bracket for the front of the tranny here (after the fact)






I got tired of waiting for my 7XL and MM ESC so I dropped in the dual Titan and evx-2 (I had a dud evx-2 though so it often stops for no reason.. a new one is on it's way though :))





I got bored yet again, now waiting for my 5mm pinions for my 7XL and MM esc so I ripped my single VXL motor off my Rustler and installed it on my rEvoLt. Geared 68t spur and 19t pinion.. if someone wanted this setup would be better than two titans any day of the year and geared lower say 17t pinion it will still run same top speed as the stock emaxx setup but just a TON more torque as you will see in the video.



Thanks again guys hope this helps someone else out!!!! I know this is quick so if you have any questions fire away...

Sweet conversion! What did you do with the rest of the E-Maxx?

I was going to part it out, but I just picked up another tranny, radio box and diff's off ebay for failry reasonable cost.. so I will build it back up and have two I suppose :) LOL bit again.. gotta love this hobby :)

the only thing that I don't like about the new trans is the exposed spur gear alot can get in there and wreak havoc but that is just me...but other than that it looks great...

that vid is nice. only think i think that would have made it better, is if you would have did a temp check on everything at the end. nice work.

Working on a fix for that.. I already have a few ideas and will upload the changes when I have time to implement. Very good point though, as it bothers me just as much :)

Some updates.. w/ brushless vids and pics Feigao 8XL 24/68 (also use jato spurs for higher speed when needed 54,56,58t) Mamba Max controller w/ Castles BEC on a pair of 2s2p maxamps 6000mah lipo's (4s config). Wicked FUN!

Like I said over on trx. Very nice!

Sorry to bring back a dead thread, but I am wondering where I can get those battery trays. I just got a roller and am gonna strip my 3905 to get the tranny and copy your truck for the most part (hope you don't mind). I've been looking and I cant find them anywhere.

new era has those trays like 12 bucks a peice i think

But where do you get them? I may be blind, but I can't seem to find them.
