what would be the best brushless motor the e revo because i want alot of power

The Castle Creation Mamba Monster Max ESC w/ the 2200kv motor on a 6s lipo would be pretty bad ass.

Yes it would!

Not a cc motor but same kv and similar power. 6s is overkill with this setup.

I agree 6S is too much. I run 6S in my Savage Flux only when doing stupid tricks. Hey Dom I was looking at your link and just noticed the "Sway Bar" set-up. That is pretty trick too!

You'd benefit from reading that whole thread that Sweet linked. What an awesome build.

 

[sweetdiesel]

Thanks that was a FUN build.

like i was thinking about getting the Feigao 580L Brushless Motor but i dont know if they are any good and i know that the mamba monster is good tho and i was also thinking about trying the Castle Creations Mamba Extreme 34V - Leopard 5692 1090KV Motor from kershaw designs but i think that would be way to much power for the truck

 

[frickenjoey]

Both would be MAJOR overkill. You are going to have a hard time keeping the drivetrain together on that. A standard 1/8 scale set-up will be MAJOR power like you are looking for. Trust me on this. The set-up in the Savage Flux HP is almost un-drivable on 6s and that is in a truck about 3-4 lbs heavier than the Revo.

yea thats the down fall becasue i knew someone with the mamba monster in the revo and he could not keep the front end down and i dont want to pull wheels that fast so i dont know what to do on how to keep the front end down the only thing that i can think of is put all aluminum parts in the front end and thanks i think i will just get the mamba monster and just play it safe right now

and how would i even put the motor on can i use the motor mount thats on it right now or do i have to get a single one to put that motor on the revo

 

[Metalhead Matt]

The motor will bolt up to the stock mount. A spacer may be required. The single motor mount is a much cleaner look though. The Mamba Monster is fully programmable, so you can tune it to calm down takeoffs. A lighter trigger finger will be your friend as well.

A center diff also helps keep the front wheels on the ground. I had the same wheelie problem with my 1/16 Revo VXL on 3s and the center diff cured it.

 

[king_woody]

alright thanks for all the help you guys

 

[frickenjoey]

You bet man...like said above the throttle cure is ultra programmable on the MM ESC and you can do anything you want with it. That is what I love about Castle Creations.

 

[Metalhead Matt]

The computer interface is simple enough for even me to use. Just like a nitro, small changes, one at a time, with some testing in between so you see if you like or dislike the change.

 

[king_woody]

does the Castle Creations Quick Field Programmer Car even work that good or is their a point to get it even

 

[hamz9561]

The field programmer is able to be used in a more mobile setting than the Castle Link programmer as well as being connected to a computer like the Castle Link.

 

[king_woody]

So would it be a good thing to get or no

 

[hamz9561]

I haven't used one, yet, so I don't really have advice on the FPC. I have used the Castle Link and love it.
