Yes another Brushless Revo - 06.03.2007, 12:25 AM

So..What do you think so far? I'm still trying to figure out final placement of my ESC but this will work for now! All i need is batteries and battery tray and i should be all set.
Revo 3.3 minus the 3.3 lol
Fiegao 9XL
Mamba Max ESC
RC-Monster Revo mount
RC-Monster heatsink
Just wanted to thank Mike and everyone on this forum for the info. And as always any suggestion will be appreciated

Looks good! Looks a little crowded...HOLY CRAP that's a HUGE motor! Looks fast too!

In your effort to find a place for the ESC, definitely make sure you shorten those motor wires.

That was my first impression, but it's not that bad. I think if you can relocate the ESC to the rear of the chassis you'll be all set. It looks crowded around the brake linkage area, mostly wire management though, motor leads, servo cables, etc.

Looks good, but you forgot one important thing; batteries! lol, j/k.

As far as suggestions go, I too would shorten the ESC wires. Of course, this limits where it can go. If you move the brake servo somewhere else, you could put the ESC a little closer. Or, move the radio box as far forward as possible, put the ESC at the back of the battery tray, and hopefully still have enough room for the batteries. Or, make a little tray that sits above the rear shocks and mount the ESC there. Then your wires would be quite short!

I would get an aluminum rollbar to protect the electronics.
Good job!
