Conversion
There are two options, the 2.5 and 3.3 spec revo chassis. The 3.3 would be favourable
since the longer wheelbase makes for better handling, and more room to mount the
electronics etc. As for the specific conversion route, there are a handul of nice options:
• Emaxx tranny conversion (old or new model)
• Stock revo tranny with RC-Monster motor mount
• Stock revo tranny with TeknoRC (ImPaktRC) electri-clutch or standard pinion and
motor mount
When using the emaxx tranny, you essentially just have to dremel the chassis a little to
mount it, then come up with some battery trays depending on what you plan to run
exactly. When using the stock transmission & rcm mount, you have two options:
• Lock the tranny into 2nd gear, and use motor braking via the esc
• Keep the 2spd, and use mechanical brakes
If you choose option 2, which also applies to the TeknoRC option, you are also able to
use a forwards only esc, such as a heli or boat model; you may also need to use the
‘PiStix’ item, which converts the radio signal into something the esc can understand, as
aero escs use different signal patterns to car/truck escs. In addition, when using either of
these options, you are fairly limited to your battery mounting options, with only one
side of the chassis free.
2. Transmission
E-Revo & BL E-Revo
The stock transmission has been greatly strengthened with the use of steel idler gears
that are wider and stronger. The transmission comes locked into 2nd gear as standard,
handy for those who use BL power in their trucks. An optional 2speed kit is available
that reinstates 1st gear, with a choice of close and wide ratio gear sets; top speed
remains unaffected. The new transmission features a Revo spec slipper assembly that
can be used with spurs ranging from 54tooth (jato 3.3) upto 68tooth that comes as
standard in 32p (MOD 0.8). MOD1 spurs from the Revo can also be used provided a
MOD1 pinion is also used- these are available from RC-Monster and RobinsonRacing
as well as a few other places. The new transmission has been designed to allow the use
of twin motors, as in the stock setup, or a single motor that can be mounted centrally-
either with the stock motor mount or an option single motor mount and gear cover. The
BL Erevo has the single motor mount & cover as standard & comes supplied with the
CastleCreations NeuCastle 2200kv motor + 18/65 gearing. It is also worth noting that
finned can motors (such as Neus) or larger diameter motors (Neus again, and KB45s)
may be limited in their gearing range as the larger diameter cans may hit the
transmission case before the pinion and spurs mesh correctly. With the lowered central
motor mount there is the option to mount a large motor with a 30mm mounting pattern,
such as the KB45 or larger brushed motors such as those sold by kershawdesigns and
banebots etc.
Conversion
The stock emaxx 3906 transmission is a 2 speed unit that is shifted via a servo; when
used in a revo conversion, keeping the 2sp option is difficult, but not impossible. There
are a few weak points to the design however, mainly concerning the slipper mechanism
