HV 4.5 e-revo gearing

[E-Revonut]

yeah thats what I figured, the one on the rear of the new(3905) e-maxx is really long and I may try them. But I also found out that both the ouput shafts I twisted apart are the lightweight alum ones. I thought the first one that came in the tranny when I bought it was steel so I figured I'd try the alum one, the second shaft lasted all of maybe 2 minutes! I ordered the standard one, I beleive this would be steel, and I'll see how it works. If I snap it again I'll get another one and some plastic slider shafts. I was hoping to find a titanium one but had no luck in my searches!

Well I finally got my revo back together. Still using the steel dogbone center shafts and now I have a stock steel output shaft in the GMaxx tranny and lots of Loctite on everything!!! I did some running in the parking lot and I may need to change my gearing cause the esc seems to be getting pretty warm even with the temp outside being around 30f and the fan working on the esc. I guess I'll see how this works, wish me luck!

Gear ratio from input shaft to tire is 6.3:1
Spur/Pinion = 49/13 - 3.77:1
Total ratio = 23.75:1
Novak is looking for a 22:1 in a E-maxx, I'm close to a Lb lighter at 9.5 RTR

A local police officer seen me running my e-revo in the walmart parking lot at 1:15 Am this morning and actually came over to me and said "hold on, I'll turn around and radar it" I couldn't beleive it! I got 38MPH in about 100-150 straight away and still gaining, I was running 12s of 4500Mah NiMh. I'm pretty happy with that. Right after the cop left though I hit a patch of ice at that speed and slammed into the under carriage of a car and did a LOT of damage. Broken bulkhead, shock pushrod, bent hinge pins, skid plate, etc! Anyone with a G2R have fitment problems? I had a hell of a time getting the new pieces to fit, had everythying went like it should have I would have had it fixed in an hour and a half not 2 1/2 Hrs. Makes me wish I went with the tekno kit, at least the whole chassis would have still been traxxas and everything would fit without any issues!

Wow, reading through your thread, I can't tell what you have more of, extra money, or patience!
It seems that if it could go wrong, it has for you!!
