Well, I haven't started that yet. :dft001: I'll have to work on that once I get a hold of a BL motor, but I suppose I could use a cheap brushed motor to at least get the design worked out. I have no clue yet as to how I will implement it, but I'm shooting for using parts of the stock Revo motor mount and working from there (because it already has an adjustable mount for changing spurs and pinions). The final version will probably have to be machined for accuracy, and I don't know where I'll get that done.
This started because I was waiting for my tax refund and now for my order from Mike to arrive to finish my current E-Revo, so I started thinking about how to use a Revo tranny to allow braking and reverse. Once my current E-Revo is done and working, I want to build another lighter one of a different design and see which I like better. I also want to use more stock parts (like center shafts) so I can pick up replacements at my LHS instead of trying to order or fabricate something that'll work. The only other part I have right now is a chassis. I should be able to move most of my existing E-Revo parts to the new design and maybe sell the one I don't like as much. The next design might even use Lipos.
I don't plan on ever using a center diff. I don't race so it's not needed IMO. I seem to enjoy building these than driving them, but unfortunately cash is not over abundant in my household.
