e revo boys

[lind5]

ok guys well i have just got myself a second hand e revo roller well everything but the esc motor and pinion
it does have 40 series wheels and tyres bowties or mulchers

my mambamonster turned up today ******(thanks mike)******* i have a choice of a neu 1515/1.5d or a f/7xl im sure i no wich one you will tell me to use
i dont have any pinions to use as i belive it has a 32 pitch spur and i only have mod1's
i will also need to get some lipos for it

_____________________so the questions are __________________________
can i change the spur to a mod 1.......................if so what am i looking for
and what size

or do i stick to the std spur and get new pinions.....if so what am i looking for
and what size

what lipos fit in the e.revos battery pods and will give good run times with my set up

if you have the same sort of set up ur advice would be great as i need to get this right this time
cant aford to keep cooking esc's

Lipo : I would suggest 4s lipo for either motor. The polyquest 6000 25c cells look best. You would need 2 2s packs, one for each battery tray.

I run a 1515 1.5d with a MMM and 4s worth of trakpower packs. It runs great, but I feel that I am close to the lipo spec with that setup. They are 4900mah 25c lipos. That is why I feel they 6000 cells would be better.

As for gearing, I run 19/50 mod 1 gearing. You can use MGT spur gears to convert over to mod1. You do have to mod them slightly. The center hole of the gear is close to 10mm, so you have to replace the stock slipper bearing with a 5x10 bearing (same size as most nitro clutch bearings), the stock revo bearing is 5x11.

You also have to enlarge 3 of the holes on the mgt spur to 5mm. This allows the spur to fit flush to the slipper hub. The hub has raised bosses that are threaded for the mount screws that hold the gear on. If you line the mgt spur up to the slipper you can see the 3 holes that need to be enlarged. Really easy mod, takes about 1 min.

You may also have to SLIGHTLY enlarge the center hole of the spur to fit the 5x10 bearing. I use a body reamer and take off a tiny bit of material till it fits tight.

i belive the poly q are about $135.00 from hoby city
does anyone no of them being cheaper anywhere else

what do you guys recon polyquest 6k/25c
or the neu energy 5k/25c
im thinking that they are both prety good packs

dont no if mike sells the polys i couldnt find them earlier

[blueb8llz]

well, both packs use enerland lipos which are the best. ive never tried poly's but if you ask me, i wouldnt pay $40 more just for another 1k mah. and are those poly in hard casing?
im running a 7xl with a mmm using those neu 5k packs. they provide just enough. they get about 110 degrees after the entire run.

no they dont have a hard case
are you running a erevo
what sort of run times are you getting
and what size gearing do you run and is it std 32pitch or mod 1
and what size wheels
i am on 40 series wheels and tyres to i found this can make a difrence

sorry for all the questions blueb8llz

[blueb8llz]

nah im running a emaxx. i get about 25 mins hard running, or about 35 mins bashing.
geared 24/68 32 pitch. i have standard size wheels but they are losi zombies which wiegh a ton..not as heavy as 40's tho.
my maxx wieghs 12 1/2 lbs including lipos.

[lind5]

ok then guys can you tell me how are the revo stock diffs holding up to bl power

[blueb8llz]

i think the emaxx 3905 and the ervevo are same diffs but correct me if im wrong.
but my rear diff has blown out twice since ive put in bl pwer. and will continue to blow if i dont do sumthing about it.
i still havent fixed it yet since the second failure. the only thing that is breaking is the teeth on the ring gear. its just the edge/corner of the teeth that are breaking. so im thinking all it is, is that i need to shim them ....i think. i am not familiar with diffs at all.
and i know its not because of my driving either, because i take off veeeery slowly. i never wot from stand still or even close to it.
