New revo build soon

[Jbreddawg]

Hi all, new here . Seems like the best board when it comes to the e-revo !! I'm currently waiting on a revo i purchased from ebay , should be here by thursday or friday. Been reading ALOT on here about what to do . So far i figure i want to stick with the revo trans, locked into second . It already has the FOC kit installed.
I will be using a Mamba max with a XL9 motor. I'm thinking of trying to do a custom chassie , make my own motor mount , and using twin lipos. I'll have to see when it gets here . We have all the tools at work to bend and shear aluminum , and drill press's,lathes, etc... no milling machines though !
i like how the emax tranny mounts and you can use two batteries but I want to try something simular with the revo tranny, will see. i also ran across this tranny

possible ? or is the ratio all wrong ? they do make another motor mount for brushless . Anyhow, I cant wait to get the truck and start tearing it apart. I will have all the nitro leftovers if anyones interested . Dont have it yet, so that will be a few days. Anyhow, looking forward to being part of the great forum !! Jerry
