BL E-Revo Gearing?

[Mentat]

All i want to run in my new BL E-Revo is 4s and want it to run around 40ish, anyone have any good gearings tips? What would i need gearing wise to run at that? Not sure how current the RC calc is on the BL E-Revo

We need more info, do you have a Traxxas ERBE or a regular E-Revo with a MMM setup thrown in or what.

I could say use "X" gearing based on the fact you have a 1500kv motor but if your motor is really 2500kv you'd blow something, thus is why we need more info.

Stock gearing on the erbe must be good for around 40 on 4s. They do 57-60 on 6s lipo. So 2/3rds of that voltage would be around 4s lipo, so 2rds of 60 would be 40...

Stock gearing is 18/68, or something like that...?

Tire size also critical for final gear ratio.

Example; I'm running the M.M.M.2200 with 4s w/7" tires and with 68/14 it's the happy spot for my set up.

Sorry, I thought when i said BL E-Revo that was pretty much telling you that i had a Brushless Edition #5608 with the Mamba Monster 2200kv. I have a set of VTR and LPR that i will be running on it.

So what kind of Pinions and Spur gear can i run on this truck?
What about the center diff, does anyone knnow much about it? Also what are some good,bad,must have upgrades i should do asap? Im getting rid if the 2.4 GHZ traxxas radio and using my Spektrum stuff. Whats the deal with setting up telemetry on this truck? will i be able to get temps,mph and rpms running the BL equipment? Thanks again guys.

From what I've read about the center diff it's not worth getting. People say it unloads to the front way too much because it only has 2 small spider gears, and you have to fill it with super heavy fluid/diff lock, pretty much defeating the purpose of a center diff in the process.

I would suggest the V3 hybrid diffs though. I haven't run them yet, but they are rock-solid. They'll definitely handle the power better than the stock diffs, save on maintenance/replacement.

Hey Jason,

+1 on the front unload .
Filled mine w/500000 and the front still diffed. This is when it was still nitro !!! I have yet to complete the 3.3 conversion mainly because of $$ and being undecided what I'm going to do ?

V3 hybrid diffs where can i find these?

[Bondonutz]

All the BL revo stuff is in there.

The telemetry is cool, but anything other than temp is pretty much useless in my book,just more wires and stuff to get damaged and move around when making repairs.
I never bothered with any of mine so I can't help.
Revo center diff leaks If you bash, don't bother with it.
