Looks good Zero... don't forget the vids... videos are awesome... like your video Finnster..

thanks again,

I am trying just a 7s1p pack for starters, it will definitely be able to power it, but with how much voltage drop.

With the Maxx truck (good remembering Finnster ) I had 2p yes, and there was very little voltage drop with the max amperage of around 70 amps, sometimes 80, the lowest I saw the voltage go down to was ~21 volts (from 23v nom.), so 70 amps should be easy for 1p. I am guessing the V-Droop will be around 19.5v with this truck at 70-80 amps, as I geared it a little lower (13T from 15T), and it is lighter than the Maxx truck as well, so taking that into consideration. The runtime should be around 15 mins, as it was at least 30 mins with 2p pack, and geared higher, and heavier.

I will get it finished tomorrow (when heatshrink arrives for pack), I will post some pics for sure!

Aqwut, unfortunately I don't have my Sony Cybershot anymore! (video capable) I traded my sister for a Canon Rebel SLR, which is what these pics were taken from.

Yeah I'd like to see what it does, tho I thought the A123s were rated for 70A max discharge according to the spec sheet. I draw 120A+ from mine (2P), and they get to ~110F as the pack dumps, so we should see. That's fairly close to max and they are not getting too warm. Truck looks great tho

Hey guys, here are some pics of my finished E-Revo 3.3 conversion.

My computer has not been working for the last few days so I could not post the pics... but anyways here they are!

Anyways, I ran it for the first time today because of cold rainy weather and it performs great! It feels very light and agile compared to the maxx truck with 7s2p... I was running 7s1p this run. I used the eagletree in there as well and found the voltage drop at ~70 amps is around 19 volts (from 23v nom.) so right around where I thought it would be, but obviously lower than what a guy would like.

With the 7s1p, it looks to have about 1200 - 1300 watts of power, and the pack weights a tad over 500 grams which is very light.

One thing that is very different about the Revo is the suspension feel, it's just so much different from Maxx trucks, both the feel and adjusting.

It was geared for 40mph top speed today. Sorry, no video for now!
