I couldn't stand looking at my Revo being so empty, so... I decided to put the brushless system from my 1/8 buggy into it. The system in it is:
- Mamba Max ESC
- Feigao 9xl motor
- UBEC
- TrueRC 4s2p 8000mAH lipo pack
- RC-Monster motor mount
- custom battery tray
- custom receiver tray
- custom ESC/UBEC tray
- geared 18/38
The wires appear to be very messy, but to be honest, they are actually quite neat. I think its just the angle of the shots, everything seems very cluttered. I was running it 18/36 for the test run, but when I took the motor out and put it back in, the pinion and spur didn't reach for some reason, so now I have a 38t spur in it at the moment. I haven't tried it with the new spur yet, but I am sure the temps should go down a little, not that they were that bad in the test run.
Doesn't everybody love a hacked up body:
Electric > Nitro:
Internals (wires aren't as sloppy as they look):
Let me know what you think. Geared 18/36, it was wicked fast on the street, so hopefully with the 38t spur, it will be perfect for the dirt.
