Couple of Questions....

I have a bunch of parts from my nitro revo, almost enough to start working on a E-revo. Here are some questions that I have that would help with a budget E-revo build:

1. From the E-maxx I need the motor plate & tranny correct?
2. Can you mount the steering servo and throttle servo's in the stock location (for the two steering servo's) on the Revo chassis?
3. I am thinking about going with the stock ESC out of the E-maxx and putting two of the new 550 12T Titan motors that come stock in the new rustler and stampede. Will the ESC hold up? What gearing would you put with the motor setup?
4. I am going to mount my batteries similar to the way Dafni did his but the question is where can you mount the ESC & Reciever?
5. Can you use a battery pack from a Revo to run the truck? Where would you mount it?
6. What slipper clutch would I have to use?
7. Is there anything else that I am forgetting?

1. Yes....or I think you could use the new Traxxas Revo center diff....?
2. Sure, but you wont need a throttle servo. if you ustilize the two speed on the Emaxx tranny, you can mount the shift servo in one of the steering servo locations (assuming you've gone to a single steering servo setup)
3. As I just recently learned, the new 12T Titans are 7.2V, the EVX is for 14.4V motors. I'm just getting into the gearing on my setup, so I'll be watching for answers on this myself. "Superman" on the Traxxas forum just did this same setup. I believe his post is titled ERevo in the Emaxx forum.
4. Above the shocks seems to be a popular spot
5. No. You'll need two batteries like the EMaxx
6. Strobe slippers are no longer available (I just found that out today from Robin at UE). Looks like stock is it....
7. Its really not a tough conversion. I've found that figuring out how I wanted to do the battery trays was my biggest stumbling block. I'm still not happy with them, but I want to get it running, and play with those nit-pickey things down the road..
8. You'll need one of the Revo long center drive shafts if you use the Emaxx tranny. A file, a dremel, extra screws, and imagination (and quick peeks at this forum for re-inspiration!).

Check out my E-Revo. It might give you some ideas. I actually think that the new 12T motors would work with the EVX since alot of people run 2 mod motors with them....Which a mod motor is made for the same voltage as the new 12T motors...

the 12 turn motors would smoke the esc. I would suggest a super duty, its designed tor those loads

I've got a brand new SD that I am fitting up for use on my Revo. I wonder how long before we can get those new motors?
