Revo suspension with stock e-maxx chassis

[brushless losi]

Will the revo front and rear suspension fit to stock e-maxx chassis

[ttrmike]

If you mean the shocks, they might fit but i'm not sure. If you mean the whole rocker, shocks system, no.

[brushless losi]

if i get the G2R Rolling Chassis what transmission would it use the E-maxx?

[crazyjr]

Yes, it was designed to run the E-maxx tranny, but with a little work it could be used with a T-maxx tranny. For ease and convenience, it is easier to use the Emaxx tranny

i would say it would take more than a little work but then again it depends on your definition of a little work

I man named star scream runs a tmaxx tranny and a revo tranny.

i know but he had to set up a disk brake system which would require a good bit of work in my opinion maybe im wrong though

The only stumbling block is the motor plate. You can use the one speed conversion and foreward only conversion to lock the tranny and use the motor for reverse and braking

But that would defeat the purpose of using the tmaxx/revo tranny if you just wanted one speed get a single speed conversion for the e-maxx tranny

[squeeforever]

crazy, i am not away of a single speed. could you please elaborate and maybe provide a link to what you are talking about?

The traxxas sport traxx is a T-maxx chassis stripped down to a basic package. It has no reverse and only a one speed, so it is a locked transmission like the E-maxx. here is the link to the single speed conversion http://www.buytraxxas.com/product_in...oducts_id=1641


Boss302. a side benifit of the T-maxx tranny is using the E-maxx motor plate you could mount the motor beside the spur or slightly belowfor a lower center of gravity. here is a link to Starscreams G2R race truck, it uses a T-maxx tranny and you can see what i meanhttp://rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2218

i see how he has the motor mounted which is a nice idea but what i am saying is that if you put the sisngle speed conversion in for the t-maxx tranny it would defeat the purpose imo and you might as well use the e-maxx tranny

[crazyjr]

I see your point, but if you think about it, with a FOCand a single speedyou could have probably the lowest rotating mass ever for a E-maxx tranny. Two speeds are killer, don't get me wrong, but i look at things from a racers point of view and i see it as an option for the racer. Besides you can always gear up or add cells

i race to but i think that i would use the 2 speed for bashing and switch trannies when i am trannys racing

[crazyjr]

I agree, but i'm not always after speed and the one speed will suit me fine. When i get it setup and running i will tell you all how it runs
