BL Revo or BL E-Maxx?

The "easiest" conversion IMO is to get a Gmaxx G3R chassis for your revo. Its bolt on and lets you run an emaxx tranny with steel lidlers, no other mods needed. Downside is its almost $300.

The cheapest is to custom make some battery mounts and motor mounts for your stock chassis revo and run the stock revo tranny. But this does take some engineering/custom work skills.

The simplest bolt on brushless setup would be the emaxx, but like was metioned above. you will spend a significant amount of money trying to get th drivetrain strong enough to handel the brushless power.

I personally prefer the revo. but others will argue the maxx. Properly set up it can be one mean machine. But it takes picking the right parts and in the end winds up just as expensive (if not more) than the revo.

I highly encourage you to do this. Once you do no nitro will ever due again. A Mamba Maxx and an 8xl on 4s lipo will make you smile for sure!:027:

Another option is to just sell your revo and watch ebay for a decent revo that is already converted. They pop up more often than you would think. This would probably be the cheapest route if you dont want to do the work yourself.
