trxmh E-Revo Conversion
 

Hi all! Im Mikko from Finland and new in here.

Im almost completely finished my E-Revo conversion.

The tranny is modified to lock into 2nd gear to enabling motor brakes and reverse.
Im using a RCM Revo motor mount, a Tekno-RC esc and batt mount, receiver box.

Mamba Max esc with ubec, 1900kv xl chinese motor, 4s zippy 5000mah lipo battery.

Here are some pics of my build so far. 8)

Sweet! Love the green bead locks w/that body.

Have you done any mods. to the mm esc? With 4s, you should add a cap to help w/cooling...like this one...http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail.php?prod=35vcap

Use the one w/the leads...it's easier. Also, that motor may not last very long...not the best quality. When it blows up, look at the Medusa line or Neu line of motors. The cheaper motors just don't last very long....just a suggestion.


By the way, WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!

Looks awesome. I see the RCM motor mount design has been tweaked again...

STOD.
Nice conversion though.

Thanks!

Not any mods in Mamba esc yet. yeah that motor is cheap, but it run pretty well today when i tested it.:surprised:

I thing im getting a Medusa 70mm 2300kv motor later, i ve heard only good about Medusas.

Did you do your own painting? If you did....well done!

Stod = ?

Yup, i painted it. i like how it came out. :yes:

Are you using this motor? - http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...hless_Inrunner

I was thinking about getting a different size of that motor for my crt .5.

Yes, exactly that motor.

How much driving have you done yet? I want to know how that motor works. It's got a pretty nice price.:yipi:

I was thinking the same thing

The truck looks awesome! And like the others, I do recommend a better motor. Also, the body looks great, and I was wondering what was the exact type of paint you used for the green. Do those mashers balloon alot?

I figured it out - STOD = Spinning Toaster Of Death.

They are cheap motors purely for testing purposes, but they never last too long if you even attempt to push the envelope a little...

Thanks for comments.
For painting i use a Pactra Black and Fluorescent Green rattle cans. :yes:
Nope, they dont balloon at much with 4s lipo and 1900kv motor.

New pic of my E-Revo. It snowed here also. I will try to put some video later today.

Snow drifting like a crazed Finnish rally driver...

Handles great, what kinds temps were you getting, given the nice low ambient temps?

Heh, snow drifting was really fun. :yes:

So far the E-revo running good with chinese motor.
