Strongest brushless setup for revo?

[Over_revO]

Hi guys,

My friend want to get the strongest brushless setup you can fit on a e-revo,

no matter the cost.


I dont have the knowledge for brushless setup (i run nitro mostly) and if anyone can give me some nice suggestions of reliable and unrealistic powerful setup would be nice :)

Esc , motor, batteries, charger etc...

Thx for any input!

Well I'd say a MMM and a 1515 2.5DF on 6s - However you could get a 1521 in there if you tried although the diffs will last about 2 seconds versus 15 seconds with the Neu 1515 2.5D.

Save your money buy a MMM Combo ideally waiting a couple of months for the 1800 if you need it - 2200 is more than enough for an e-revo unless you want serious driveline upgrades.

MMM plus 2200 on 6S is all you and the truck can really handle.
hyperion duo charger
25C 5000mah 3s batts. the zippys actually are pretty good - you could also get the neupower batts but they are a lot more expensive.

I will repeat my question, thx for the info its appreciated but take into account i know what kind of power it can handle and that my friend want the most ridiculous power in the revo.

Is there anything stronger that fit into the e-revo?

Thx :)

Your choices are actually pretty wide open when you put it that way. Neu makes some serious motors for some seious play time. The 1521/1/y is a good choice as suggested, or maybe even the 1527/1/y. If money really is no problem and he wants to make something really impressive, then there is the Plettenberg Bolido motor wich has a nice reputation. For an equally impressive ESC you have to do your research to figure out which one would work best with the Motor you choose. And for batteries it all depends on what application you plan to run the vehicle under. For racing you would need something light weight but powerful like some 30C 4K to 5K packs, and if it is just for playing around then some 25C to 40C packes with 10K run times. This sounds like an interesting toy for sure, and we would love to see how that turns out for your friend, so please tell him to post up during and after his project. Good luck with that.

Oh and I almost forgot about the charger. That of course depends on which batteries he ends up acquiring, since you want to match up your battery packs with the best charging options for that application.

The guys on here are only trying to help, so the arrogant attitude of "but take into account i know what kind of power it can handle" means absolutely nothing when you've never had any brushless experience before.

[What's_nitro?]

Hey, if money were no object I'd build a longer chassis with 4 battery compartments so I could run 12s2p 5K Lipos and power both of my 1527/2d motors. But that's just me....

If you're just getting into brushless:

If you're just looking to beat the stock Nitro Revo:

If you're just looking to beat all the Nitro boys:

Then PLEASE, learn what the limitations are of the drivetrain that you're dealing with.

The stock E Revo drivetrain is pretty strong, BUT.........

If you're going for the most power you can stuff into a Revo, plan on throwing a bunch of money at upgrading the diffs and the rest of the driveline too.

Check out the RC Monster store for some of the toughest Revo diffs around. I have a set. They are Tough!

Properly setup brushless power delivers torque that Nitro can't deliver.

Even a mild brushless setup will leave the Nitro Revo in it's dust.

A few suggestions:

1. Figure out what top speed you're looking for. This depends on what you're going to be doing with the truck.

A. Bashing - 40mph top speed is just fine for me. Best balance of wheelie popping torque and controllability

B. Racing - Top speed runs or track use? If track use is going to be the norm, let your decision be based on how long the track is, and how long the race is going to last. For top speed runs, the sky is the limit. I believe the fastest Monster Truck so far is pushing 80mph or so.

Best Bang for the buck? Get a Monster Combo from Castle Creations. Then get yourself some good Lipos.

Well if you have lots of money - Dual MMM with Dual 1527's would be about the ultimate - Let us know how it goes...

[Unsullied_Spy]

I would go with either a Neu 1521 or a 1527, depending on what your batteries can handle. This will provide absolutely insane power and will rack up quite a repair bill but it's powerful. A Neu 1521/1Y on 6s lipo will make a Truggy do a backflip with ease, but watch those amps.

if money is no object you could sink about 20k into a Turbine RC Jet that will exceed 200mph

What i meant in that reply is that i understood it was to help me :)

But what you dont understand is that i have good knowledge of RC in general and im not 100% noob in brushless , i have seen a lot and driven(not owned) MMM v3 neu 1515d before on 6s.
(its not because i only have 3-4 post on this forum that you have to think i know nothing, but i still need your help for my question , my first language is french so may be i am a little too much direct with my approach... i try my best to write in english.


Im sorry if it was misunderstood on my part. But my question was simple, money is no object, my friend dont care if anything broke, he just want the most RIDICULOUS setup. i repeat, the most ridiculous setup.

This have nohing to do with me, im just trying to help my friend getting the setup he want. :)



Thx Arct1k for the info :)

Anything can run 10-12S on the revo? if batteries fit...

[Over_revO]

More info,

Its not for racing, he plan on doing few speed runs and mostly bashing but he confirm me he want something a lot stronger than a MMM 2200kv combo. Even if i agree its well enought lol

I run 10s w/a 1515/2y and CC HV 10 esc in a Revo and I do this mostly for effiency and a cooler running system, here in Az temps will exceed 100 degs for 6 months a year

Fair enough. I can appreciate your effort to type in English. I can only imagine how bad it would be if I were to try and type in French.

To answer your question, there are two primary limitations on what will fit in the E-Revo:

1) The battery trays will really only fit up to 3S 5000mAh per side, for a total of 6S 5000mAh. Or, a lower capacity and higher cell count would work also.

2) The motor must be around 3" or less in length or the can will hit the rear shock supports.

Given those limitations and assuming he doesn't want to completely hack up his stock chassis, the motor will have to be a 1515 or Medusa 80mm as a maximum.

Even though Neu 1521's and 1527's have been recommended, they simply will not fit without modification if he's using the single motor plate. My Castle Monster 2200kv just barely clears the rear shock supports.
