Well I just ran my E Revo on 6S. Wow, what a different truck.

I've been used to running the E maxx. This is definately a horse of a different color.

I installed a Century 600 Outrunner that I custom wound to a 4 turn wye wind. This motor was originally 715kv, but now I can only guess what the kv is. It spins a 25 tooth Mod 1 pinion and meshes with a 38 tooth Nitro Revo spur that is a perfect mount to the slipper.

Firepower 6S 5000mah 20C is feeding the spark to a Quark Monster Pro 125 amp ESC. Mods include a HV Novak Cap along with a CC BEC.

The setup has loads of power. Alot of instant acceleration and tops out in the 45mph range. Wheelies at speed are pretty easy on a surface the Talons will grip. This Motor runs hotter than I prefer, so I might come up with another power plant or change the setup somehow.

The Talons by the way, turn into saucers on loose gravel, just by grabbing Throttle.

One of the Front Tires had a come apart. It appears the glue let go. Now I've got the stuffing hanging out one side. LOL

What a loose suspension! I can tell there's alot of tuning to be done. Getting stopped from 45mph is a wobbly back and forth challenge. The suspension is way too loose. Stiffer springs may fix most of this.

I think one of the single biggest improvements this setup will see, is the Monster Mamba. One should be coming my way soon.
