My BL Revo project

:L: Well, I dunno about popular, but thank you. I guess people remember me for my Revo design, and it's an honour for me to be recognized for something.

We have some other famous peeps here, I can tell you. Serum is the Savage guru, and he did a nice HB Lightning conversion. Batfish has a BL Jato and MGT, and Coolhancountry also has a MGT and is a regular poster here. Like I said, lotsa nice guys, and we now each other quite well. (just don't mind our asian kid LOL)

As for tranny, with the G conversion and the steel idler you're indeed set. The rest can be stock parts. This will give you an almost bulletproof tranny.
First gear is not really needed with BL anyway. And you can loose a servo.

The slipper of choice would be the Strobe adapter with an Ofna spur. (Mod1 gear, nice and strong)

Runtime and temps depend on motor choice and cell count. The most important question here is your budget. If you're looking for a real hi-end BL, there's almost no limit.

As for the 3 wires, Serum once posted a nice animated diagram. Maybe he can link us up.
Basically, there is a winding between all three wires.

Thanks for the info. My budget is not limitless, but I understand that it is cheaper to do it right the first time than to do it cheap and have to do it again.

A little off topic (and because I want to contribute too!): If there is a coil between each wire junction, that is a delta 3-phase configuration, which is also how a car alternator is wired and how utility AC electricity is transmitted over long distances - except BL motors use PWM DC instead of sine wave AC. However, there is no common reference point in delta. The other 3-phase setup is Y configuration. Basically picture a coil on each "leg" of the Y. The three ends are the "hot" wires and the center junction is the common reference (or "ground") point. Same number of coils though.
