dlegend Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Well in the mean time while I gather bits for siren I have a mini e revo sat in bits on my shelf and an old 1/8th motor so I thought why not let's slap it in and see what happens could be fun right? While I wait for the diff and new chassis to arrive I'll put it together what i can and upload some pictures tonight Spec: Your average mini e revo with brand new rods alloy knuckles and a few other bits Motor : 1900kv ansmann ESC : haven't decided something 6s capable Lipo(s) 2x overlander 25c 1600mah 11.1v (running in series) Parts on order : Chassis Diff and pinon Rear bulk head (updated version not that it will be any good for this setup lol) Centre diff Parts needed A pinon that will fit a 5mm shaft?? Maybe modify a spare mini e revo spur to fit 50t minimum That be all until tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmini Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I suggest you add something under the rear of the motor to support the weight. Mine sits on some double sided sticky pads. I broke my motor mount first time out due to the weight of the motor. Pads have stopped that happening again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlegend Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Is yours a 1/8th motor? If so where did you get a pinon to fit a 5mm shaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmini Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Nah mines from a 1/10 but the sheer weight of it snapped the motor mount the first bump it encountered. It runs 2s with a 2800kv motor out of a kyosho I had. Currently geared 40tooth pinion 45tooth spur Doesn't even get warm and goes like stink. The only changes of want to make would be to replace the shocks and use stiffer springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxic Basher Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Done this yonks ago with a mamba monster conversion. Needless to say it spent most of its time sliding on its roof and quickly got scrapped for something useable. Pinions are available from a main iirc.

dlegend Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 What did you do about the diffs as even the 1/10 motor(blue one) blows them to bits. And yes its shimmed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 RCaddict did a beast of a merv on here using some 1/10 tc shocks too, he changed nearly everything but did have his own cnc machine lol. I think it was the ultimate mini erevo or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
