Kershaw Revo.... worth it???

Maybe someone here can post pics of the process, but it's really quite simple. You just use a dremel tool to shave away a little bit of the chassis here and there until it fits. It's much easier if you have both the chassis and the tranny case in your hand. Once you stick the tranny in the hole, you'll see what needs to be shaved. Just do a little at a time so you don't take too much material off.

Then, it's just a matter of drilling the new screw holes. The 4 that are already on the chassis need to be "elongated" to fit the maxx tranny, but that's just a few minutes of file work. Then, you may or may not want to drill the other 4 holes. I did. Some people just use 4 with no issues.

Thks for the exlpanation; this point seems to be clear.

But what about the driveshafts... will the stock one fit??? is there any mod needed? ??

The EMaxx tranny adaptation is quite easy, as Brian said. I would also recommend making a paper template of the Emaxx tranny and marking the outline of the hole and screw holes before you start working. I also used a hand file, the dremmel can get away from you fast and make a mess if you are not careful. Its not a lot of work to do by hand. :)

Assuming you are using a 2.5 chassis, I know the front stock drive shafts will work. The only trick is the emaxx tranny sits a bit higher, so the u-joint will rub slightly. Its obvious where when the tranny is in. Use a dremmel here to remove a bit of material on the chassis until the shafts spin freely.

As far as the rear goes. The same problem. I'm personally using a steel driveshaft I bought from mi amigo Brian, but the stock shafts should work. Just remove the bit of chassis material that rubs near the tranny. Mike can make these inexpensively if you wish.

Total job for both should be ~1hr.
