Revo electric conversion ?

[forbs]

Hi guys i was hoping somone could help me. My revo engine is leaking from the flywheel and over heating so insted of spending a fortune trying to replace it with another odd ball after market unit i would try convert it to electric. 

 

I already have 1/8th brushless running gear so im hoping it would be fairly streight forward getting and installing a conversion kit, at hopefully less then the cost of a new engine. What do you guys think ? And does anyone know of a good supplier of conversion kits for revos. 

 

Many thanks. Dave

to much top weight once the motor and lipos are fitted.  most people sell after doing the conversion.

As said they are horrible once converted. 

 

Unless you use an erevo chassis and gearbox for the conversion. Newer bl diffs would help too. Then itll be an erevo.

Works better on the MGT but I ended up at 7kg 

CD was crap and overheating motors every 5 mins.. Was brill through the gearbox tho.
