E-Revo dewalt conversion

[Overdriven]

Corey. It's not hard. There's a bunch of threads on the traxxas forum that'll guide you if you need pics. Just unsolder the wires from both titans, twist them together (the titans are wired in parrallel, use both sets of wires) and solder them to the brush assembly where the spade connector goes. You'll probably have to enlarge a hole in the motor mount with a file or dremel. Worst part is getting the stock pinion off the motor and making a flat spot on the shaft for a rc pinion. I cut through the pinion with a dremel as much as I could, then put a flatblade screwdriver in the slot, twisted it to break the pinion.

TexasSP. Yea mine is all stock too, got it used and never checked or shimmed the diffs either. It took the dewalt, cc2200 on 5s for a long time, the 1520 on 6s finally killed the rear diff, but it took quite awhile. Oh, and I have my slipper locked too, I know someone out there is cursing my luck after hearing that! The dewalts are a nice setup for bashers that don't need to go over about 30mph. Over that and you should start thinking about a 2 speed trans to keep the evx2 happy. If my 1/6 emaxx starts getting heavy I'll go with a 1520, otherwise it'll be a dewalt on either side of the cd. Rather the dewalts because I won't be tempted to check the temps while pounding it. Either way I'll waterproof my v5 mmm and run a bigger fan on it.

Also dont forget to use the diodes from the titans or you will have horrible glitching problems

Forgot about that. Not having to worry about glitching with 2.4 will do that to you. As far as kershaw goes, I was just voicing my opinion that the dewalt is a better option than a single kd motor. As a matter of fact, some dewalt users on the traxxas forum use his "overdrive" pinions in conjunction with a 2 speed tranny to get over 40mph out of their trucks.
