V-Twin Velinions in Revo....build from scratch

ok so your saying I should be able to use the standard split center shafts from a 3.3 revo?

yes batts will be the same type I was just checking the fit of 8 cell and a 8000 lipo

lol..yes I agree ..I have the gear cover for it

Shall I be the first to say you shoulda spent you money on a MM and a Neu instead Haha just winding u up, should be fun to drive :P

lol...thanks guys...its ok.... i'm sure the future for this ride will be a MMM set up

Don't know if you figured out the driveshaft problem, but the 3.3 has the same length shafts front and rear (about 48mm) and the 2.5 had different front and rear (41mm front and 61mm rear). So maybe that explains why some people say run two rears.

IS there any difference in diameter though? (ie strength)

[Sammus]

Is that the 3905 tranny and the 3.3 (extended) chassis? Is there any trick to get it to fit the chassis? I want to do the same to mine so I can run batts either side.

Or to make sure you could use 2 rears from the 3905 max (about 100mm long)

Sick looking Revo!

Sammus: The 3905 centers are smaller in diameter than the Revo centers. I was able to run the longer Revo center and one of the 3905 centers with my 3905 tranny setup on the 3.3 chassis.

its a 3906 tranny...I personal like it better because if your going to run two batteries the 3906 motor mount keeps the motors pretty much centered where the 3905 is lopsided and one of the motors will stop you from mounting a battery on that side

as far as it fitting ...look at post #2 in this thread and look at my under carriage you can see the trany placement ...just hold a emaxx tranny in the hole and you can see where it needs to be dremeled

yes I ordered a set of 3.3 revi drive drive shafts and if they wont fit i will order the two rear's off of a 3905 emaxx and trim them to fit

Thanks for the compliments guys....i'm real proud of this build from scratch...its very rewarding

[Sammus]

I read a build the other day that says you can use a standard revo shaft for the rear and a 3905 rear for the front.

I've got my gear on its way :) I'll be running a single motor, so I got the single motor plate mount for the 3905 tranny - looks like itll stick the motor in the middle. 6s2p A123 here we come :)
