Direct Drive to Diff E Revo Build

Sounds good sike, can't wait to see how the emaxx goes. I may have to pick up a smilar motor. Are you going to run a quark 80, or the 125?

I have to send my Quark 80 in to get it fixed. If I don't come up with a ESC really quick, the Monster Pro 125 that I have will be jumping back and forth between the E maxx and the Revo.

Do you know of any place that sells the Quark Air Master ESC's? I've been playing around with brushless boat ideas. The Air Master's would work great for that.

May I suggest the hydra 120 or 240. Thay are purpose built esc for boats, and watercooled. What do you want to run, inrunner or outrunner? All of castles boat escs are good to 6s and will work with wheel radios.

I have both an airmaster 80 and 125. Nice esc, but they need the heatsink mods just like the car versions. They will work with a wheel radio without a pixstix adapter.

The supervee 27 motor and esc are good to about 3/4 hp on 4s lipo. The esc is waterproof and water cooled, and the motor is a 6 pole inrunner. It is agreat sytem, can push a 30" boat over 40mph with the correct prop. Plus it is cheap! Both tower and horizon sell the air masters, if you really want one let me know and I can get you a deal.

I checked out the Supervee, and it's tempting. But I think I would like a Deep V hull better because of the added stability.

I'm really unsure what I want in the boat realm at this point. Something stable and kinda quick. Not too fast though. Mainly just something to play around with out in the Big Boat when the fish aren't biting.

I think I can get my Lady into boats. She seems interested.

I didn't see the Air Masters on Tower. Horizon is pretty proud of them though.

On the E maxx subject, it won't be so demanding because of the lower gear ratio. This will eliminate cogging and allow the use of a much higher kv motor.

I wanted to challenge myself with this Direct Drive Revo. But it has been such because of the 4.3:1 FINAL gear ratio.

I have a good unaltered Revo Tranny on Ebay if you need a spare.

It's gonna go cheap.

I have it watched, thanks for the heads up. When are you going to part those two new emaxxs?

I'll probably start putting parts up late in the week or the weekend.
