Direct Drive to Diff E Revo Build

[sikeston34m]

Made some more progress tonight. I took it all back apart and used blue loctite on everything. Now all I have to do is figure out how I'm going to mount the receiver and the Quark Esc.

I have a Servo Tester. Little box with a dial on it that will control an ESC also. It duplicates the PWM that normally comes from the receiver.

Anyway, I couldn't resist hooking it up to 6S A123's and seeing the tires swell. They really do swell too. LOL These tires are REALLY out of balance.
I think this one is going to get the Phaltline tires with the Blast wheels that I've been saving. I originally bought these for my E maxx, got the aluminum wheel hub adapter kit along with them. Are the Revo and E maxx hubs the same? Will they work?

It's a good torque monster, I think the high gearing just might work without cogging issues.

Does anyone have suggestions on mounting the esc and the receiver? Perhaps some mounts that extent over the shock in the front and rear. I would like to keep these in the center of the truck. This will save battery compartment room for some high voltage setups.
