Revo conversion kit?

[crazyjr]

Thanks Mike, just tring to keep up with everybody else. Gotta try something origional every once in a while. That is why i also suggested a tmaxx tranny, because it has less off set than a revo

[starscream]

crazyjr,
I had my t-maxx tranny mounted on the gmass chassis but, if I remember correctly, it would only fit on backwards due to the length of the disc brake. I believe the revo tranny would also need to be mounted backwards using custom mounts because of the difference in the mounting holes.
Here's a few pics of the t-tranny on my gmaxx:




The gmaxx motor mount rides verticle on the chassis close enough to the input shaft that a hole is cut in the center of the mount so the end of the slipper shaft with the nylock nut fits through. Due to the offset of the t-maxx tranny, this mount probably won't fit but, if you really wanted to use this mount you would first need to attach the mount on the rear instead of the front and compensate for the input shaft hole. The offset of the revo input shaft might actually help out in this case.

I'll be installing my revo tranny on the xbrace chassis so I'll know more about how it fits when I get my revo conversion.

If we could pre-order the conversion kits, I'd have mine ordered already :Love:

James, when the G-Revo conversion becomes available, we here at mikes forum will be the first ones to hear it. I guess alot of people will busy themselfes on a Gorilla Revo in those winter days, getting it ready for spring :Love:

What's up Starscream. I already saw that setup and i have a couple of questions. How did you mount the emaxx motor plate to the tmaxx tranny? how close is the spur gear to the center of the chassis? The reason I'm asking is that i could use the single speed conversion and use the gorilla mount and run the tmaxx tranny backwards. Form what i see on you're truck it looks feasible.BTW, do you still have that truck?

crazyjr,
The only good reason to use the tmaxx tranny is the use of the automatic two speed. If you plan on running a single speed you are better off going with the gmaxx single speed kit.

The plate is a stock emaxx motor plate and is pretty easy to mount. You need a saw, drill w/ counter sink and preferably a dremel. This setup was bulletproof and just as efficient as a stock emaxx motor plate with an even lower CG. Also, this plate will not be effected by chassis flex.

I mounted the plate directly to the t-maxx tranny case via three screws counter sunk from the inside out. You can not see the nuts holding the plate on because they are behind the spur gear.
You will need to remove the excess material that is in the way of the drive line etc.

I don't have the truck anymore, I parted it out for $$$ for my e-Revo. (I know, I probably should have kept it :rolleyes: )

Here's a front view of the truck. the spur is off set enough to cause problems mounting the gmaxx motor mount plate.

Thanks alot Starscream. Did you actualy mount the motor plate upside down? I may have to try it. The thought of a 7xl or a 1930/5 on sixteen cells (or 5s lipo)with a two speed sounds like scary-fun. Thanks Starscream

I picked up my Revo roller yesterday off e-bay! Pretty sure I got a good deal. I just need to wait for it to arrive to be sure. I cant wait for the chassie to come out Mike. You think it will be out before Christmas. Gonna have to buy myself a Christmas present... mabye even a early Christmas present. ;)

[squeeforever]

[RC-Monster Mike]

Due in mid November for release(Early Christmas present). :)

[microdiladum]

Yes! Gotta love the early christmas presents from yourself. :p

In case anyone was wondering here is the roller I picked up. Bought it now for $260 + $11.45. Came with a few exras. Going to sell things I dont need like chassie, tank, stock shocks, tranny and NIP proline 23mm hexes. I figure I will end up of paying around $200 after selling uneeded stuff. Mabye not the best deal but I am so far happy with the purchase. Havent arrived yet though.

Good on the mid november release date. I've got to come up with the money for essentialy a new truck

Hey Mike,

Have you had time to figure out a price for the revo front/rear suspensions? Also, would you be willing to give a discount to people who buy an entire G2R (suspension, chassis and GMaxx tranny)? i don't have a revo or an emaxx, so I'm going to need a lot of stuff :)

[RC-Monster Mike]

I will likely offer a few combo packages, including the front/rear/drive shafts/tranny, and various levels(without the tranny, for instance). I will try to make it a one stop shop for those looking to get it done without painstakingly going through the site and figuring out what they need.

hello with am all I new in this forum and I waits with a great interest until the kit is available but I have questions on this subject
- it will leave an option to fix accumulators lipos on the frame?? - limps on revo will assemble itself above or it is that of the emaxx only???

- and for is the central Cardan joints they those of the revo or the emaxx???

I am chaus as the ember I really awaits with one very very great impatience the availability of this kit:Love:

[Dafni]

Hi Daredevil, welcome to the RCM Forum!

Mike will supply the needed center bones (cardans) for this conversion. They will be steel.

You can fit Lipos on the G-Revo/G-Maxx, not a problem.

Say, Daredevil, what nationality are you, if I may ask??
