    Questions about Revo 3.3 to electric conversion

    @Greywolf74 @WickedFog Well guys, after playing around with the old Revo that’s been converted and while using my 14.8V Traxxas 4S Lipo and running the 15 tooth pinion and 38 tooth spur for quite some time, the car for as heavy as it is, has a pretty good amount of speed to it, but it’s still...

    Questions about Revo 3.3 to electric conversion

    Still good info to have. Yep and according to Traxxas, it’s a combination of the front/rear diff ratios and the transmission ratios. I tried to ask that from the eBay seller but I think it’s an Asian company so there was a little bit of an issue with the language barrier trying to figure out a...

    Questions about Revo 3.3 to electric conversion

    Well at least one thing about it, changing spurs and pinions on my Revo 3.3 nitro to brushless conversion should be fairly easy so maybe I should just quit overthinking this and just go off of what my infrared temp gun says when I get it running. Although I’ve never been very good at math, I was...

    Questions about Revo 3.3 to electric conversion

    Well I found these. I wonder if they are as good as the price reflects… https://www.ebay.com/itm/175453050084?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=B2XG3tszQk6&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=zxpippv2sh-&var=474758659325&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    Questions about Revo 3.3 to electric conversion

    @Greywolf74, today when I was figuring out which spur/pinion combo to use on my stepson’s 1/16th scale E Revo, the manual had a chart that showed what the final drive ratio was depending on what tooth pinion and what tooth spur you used which also showed what the final drive ratio was for the...

    Questions about Revo 3.3 to electric conversion

    Oh ok, I wasn’t even sure you could use the mechanical brake with it battery power but I guess if your radio has the switch to run the servo then that answers that…lol. So what would you consider reasonably on a Revo 3.3 on 4S? As I was telling the other guy who explained gear ratios, this...

    Questions about Revo 3.3 to electric conversion

    That makes sense. Thank you for explaining that. Well after seeing my Revo- I’ve been outta town all week but it did have a 38t spur originally and a 15T clutch bell and when I updated it to modern Revo 3.3 specs with bigger tires, I put a 14T bell on and some time after that I pulled the 38T...

    Questions about Revo 3.3 to electric conversion

    OK, and even though this question may be more or less better suited for @SpareParts but what upgrades could I do being that I’m probably pretty limited on what I could do unless I just get even deeper in the customization part? It’s been 10 years since I’ve at least seen my front and rear diff...

    Questions about Revo 3.3 to electric conversion

    That’s interesting what you say about the Revo nitro diffs being the same size as some of the smaller trucks and also being the same ones used in the first generation E Revo and how they had a lot of complaints. But I take it you run your Revo 3.3 brushless conversion on 3S? Should I...

    Questions about Revo 3.3 to electric conversion

    Oh ok. I never knew that about the number. Thanks for explaining that. But just to refresh my memory, whether I go with the max 10, Max6 or Max8, they’ll all handle at least 3S to 4S, right? In other words, the S rating doesn’t matter between these except well, the max 6 may handle up to 8S...

    Questions about Revo 3.3 to electric conversion

    So being that I’m still fairly new to all this electric stuff, what is the difference between the max 10, the max 8 the max 6 how do I decide which one to go with? I can’t really say it’s about personal preference because I really don’t even know what my personal preference would be, if that...

    Questions about Revo 3.3 to electric conversion

    I watched a video on this a little earlier today about gear ratios so if I understand this correctly, you’re saying between the motor pinion gear and the transmission spur gear, I can go with whatever I want as long whatever I go with, the pinion gear makes 2 and a half revolutions to one...

    Questions about Revo 3.3 to electric conversion

    Being that this is a discussion about converting a Revo 3.3 to 4S Lipo, what’s the best way to determine which tooth spur gear and pinion gears to use? Being that my Revo is one of the old older Revos that still had the old-school 27 MHz receiver and radio with the 3 or 4 foot telescoping...

    Questions about Revo 3.3 to electric conversion

    I guess I’ll just have to find out as time goes by. Treat it like a custom rock-hoppin’ Jeep where anything that breaks is just a sign that needs to be made stronger.

    Questions about Revo 3.3 to electric conversion

    Well, that could be doable but I really only want to make room for just one battery….lol. I think I can fit a typical 4S Lipo over on the right side where the fuel tank and the electronics box was but I have no idea where I’d put two batteries to make it 6S. But besides, what would I have to do...

    Questions about Revo 3.3 to electric conversion

    Hey guys, I have an old Revo 3.3 that I’m currently doing an electric conversion on. I pretty much decided I was going to use the hobbywing max8 ESC/motor combo but with their smaller 2500 kV motor and even though I started out planning on going 4S Lipo, do you guys think it would be better to...
