The Conversion?

The tekno kit is very nice, I have used it myself. It is setup for you to run mech (servo operated ) brakes so keep that in mind. If you want to use the motor for brakes (much simpler to setup) you will have to lock the trans in second gear. This eliminates the 1 way bearing, and allows the motor to brake.

I think a 4 or 5s lipo setup would be good, and gear the truck for around 40mph.

The 4 or 5 or 6s refers to the number of lipo cells in a battery and how they are arranged. 4s means 4 cells arranged in series. Each cell is 3.7v nominal voltage, so 4 in series is 3.7 x 4 = 14.8v.

The c rating, 35c for eaxmple, refers to the batteries output ability. Higher number is better, but beware that this spec is the most popular battery rating to be exaggerated by battery sellers. So it is always best to ask opinion on the forum before you buy a battery.

Castle creations makes very good products, the mamba monster combo with the 2200 motor on 4s lipo (a 5000mah 4s 40c pack) with the tekno kit would be a great way to convert your revo.

Thank you but I do have more then some experience with Nitro and a very fast one at that. May I ask why you think the first set up would be to much for me?

Not to sound like an ass here, but the fastest you have driven is the fastest that you know. 6s with the CC 2200 setup will make your nitro burner seem like a kindergartners toy in comparison (assuming we are talking monster trucks to monster trucks). If your nitro burner is an onroad car then it may be faster than a brushless powered monster truck...maybe.
