Revo Platinum brushless conversion

[ChadA4MG]

haters gonna hate. My friends and I did Electric conversions on virgin chassis for rock crawling, we can creep along for quite awhile roughly 20 minutes on brushless systems, my friends use airplane motors and turn the shaft down to fit the truck pinions. Most of the city parks around here will not let internal combustion driven vehicles in unless you buy a permit to play. If you want to play for free you have Electric or pay to run on a designated track for internal combustion engines.

Are U from Denmark?

[fatteruskissa]

@carlimuti Im from Norway

[jugalo1994]

why would u do that to a perfectly good revo burn in hell

[hopcup1]

GOOD WAY TO RUIN A PERFECT REVO... U MUST B ONE OF THE IDIOTS THAN CANT TUNE NITRO SO U GO ELECTIRC LOL

[fatteruskissa]

@hopcup1

nitro is to easy. brushless i faster and more fun

[stepsjr]

for the electric conversion do u have to have a single gear or do u use the stalk 2 speed?

[lancer2589]

What gearing do you use (should I use) in a 3.3 conversion with a 2200kv mamba monster and a 6s lipo? Thanks.

[robodude360]

that is some shittie music

[MAURIF1]

you buy this kit in teknorc? thanks friend

[warracer03]

now that some great music!

[TheChaseisbeast]

what all do you have to take off before u put the conversion in. and is there any soldering required. im lookin into the conversion. i hate nitro. i just need to know what all comes off

[philin2222]

thats raely cool and all but why would you convert to electric. niro pwns and it dosent look like you even gave the nitro a try still cool but im just saying :)

[fatteruskissa]

@philin2222

i actually got a fast swap system. i can swap between brushless and nitro in 30 min.

[philin2222]

@fatteruskissa cool i love both but i was just saying you know. verry nice project and i heard how you got 2200 kv mm that is a sick truck btw :) kinda like a bl e revo with aluminum chassi and 2 spped

[MadFaceGriptape]

@philin2222 yo now days electric

[dsmdeegen]

@philin2222 i dont know what you have electrics you've been driving, but the mamba monster revo setup slays it pretty hard.

[philin2222]

@dsmdeegen cool i have a e maxx with the stock brrushed system in it and a t maxx 3.3 they both haul but i think i like nitro just a little beter because of no charging baterys but then again i have never used a brushless system.

[MrKW1996]

er du norsk ell?

[fatteruskissa]

@MrKW1996 ja jeg er Norsk

[maxieboy12288]

Hey,

I also converted it. i'm running it on a 3s lipo, but i'm thinking of buying another 3s battery to run it on 6s, is that to much?

Are you still using the electri clutch?

i don't like the clutch, but when i put a normal gear on the motor, the spur gear is bald with in seconds. and were can i get the robinson steal gears?

[MrBajaboy5b]

i got a revo plat and a e revo bl and i find the e revo better for bl and the revo plat for racing

[fatteruskissa]

@MrBajaboy5b ok :)

[phmaximus]

@MrBajaboy5b Whats faster????? Ive got a Revo plat. & i want it faster, im thinking of a big block or a brushless kit... dont know yet

[MrBajaboy5b]

@phmaximus god why reply to what i said 11 MONTHS AGO!

[phmaximus]

@MrBajaboy5b God cant u work out i was asking u a question DAss. Its not my fault that ur post is up the top. & u made a statement so i thought i would ask u whats faster???? did u even read my post????

[MrBajaboy5b]

@phmaximus brushless faster

[fatteruskissa]

@MTBbikes well... yeah... it cost a lot, but the power and speed is insane!!

[maxieboy12288]

hey, i'm doing exactly the same with my revo platinum, what have you done with the gearbox? how did you lock it?

[fatteruskissa]

i have not locked it, but i have installed robinson racing hardened steel gears. highly recommended :)

[TRX450rin]

how much was the car and how much for all the parts

[aacceerr123]

what should I buy, E-Maxx Brushless Edition or E-Maxx with 2 x titan 550 ?

[itchyliabdo]

savage flux!! , traxxas weak ass trucks,,

[skatesoft44]

if your looking for speed and jumping the brushless if your doing more offroad and more wet conditions get the brushed

[E30m3EvoVIIIMR]

does the center diff give u unloading problems on the front wheels. Meaning the front wheels just ballon all the power away ultimately slowing the truck, its happening to me, thinking of locking the diff any suggestions? Thanx

[fatteruskissa]

ive changed the oil in the center diff to a super thick oil (ofna diff lock lube) @ 800k.

ive also taped the inside of the wheel with duck tape.

i have no more problems with ballooning. the truck is VERY stable at high speed

[E30m3EvoVIIIMR]

does ur truck have reverse?

[fatteruskissa]

no. you have to lock the tranny in second to get reverse. dont need reverse ;)

[rcbuggyracingya]

ye! kulaste karosserie eg har set!!!

ofte tenkt på det:) 5 stjerner

[Colemanski6712]

wat is with the suckishly bad music?!

[fatteruskissa]

its from a tarantion movie. about a car.

[phoenix15477]

The song is from the movie 'Death Proof' during the closing credits.

[fatteruskissa]

Y plug. Very simple:)

[convex26]

how you made the mechanical brake? did you plug the servo with an Y wire to the esc or do you have 3 channel?

[RM250D8rzr]

were did you get the conversion kit for the revo? or what mods did you have to do? i really want to put one on a old 2.5 revo frame i have laying around. and 75% of the old parts.

[RM250D8rzr]

@RM250D8rzr wait nvm its from tekno. but do u have any idea what it costs?

[urgeone]

hey mrrobban1234: shut your man pleaser! this song is hard when chicks are kicking kurt russels ass haha

[MrRobban1234]

gay music but nice car

[hemii13]

Have u seen the platnuim slash it's awsome

[fatteruskissa]

Cuz its all plastic

[geedunk13]

why didn't you just buy a electric Traxxas?

[fatteruskissa]

to all who plan to convert a revo with center diff:

ur gonna need steel gears.

and ofna diff lock lube (800k) in the center diff.

[mahjongcrow]

steel transmission gears? did you replace yours before or after the conversion?

[fatteruskissa]

i replaced them after the conversion. i trashed the original nylon gears twice in a week, afer that i installed Robinson Racing gears. never had a problem since :)

[mahjongcrow]

i have a center diff in mines, but i dont think i'll try anything more than a 3s...im trying to see if my hobby shop will let me drive mine revo against traxxas e-revos.

[KvAdRoLlEr]

Музон афигенный!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)))

[KvAdRoLlEr]

Музон афигенный!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)))

[laflinslim]

Good job on the conversion. very clean. nice! but what is that music? Ive never herd anything like that!!

[fatteruskissa]

its chick habit by april march. taken from the movie Death Proof by quintin tarantino

yes the revo conversion was a nice and easy job :)

[dirtbeast937]

how exactly can you have the servo for the brake, and the esc on the same channel for the throttle? How dos that work?

[fatteruskissa]

you use a y-harness to split the signal from the reciever to the esc and the brake servo.

program the esc to have no reverse. u cant have reverse anyway because of the two speed tranny. if you want to remove the brake servo and use the motor for braking u have to use a pinion, not the electri clutch, you also have to mod the tranny, by locking it in second gear.

[dirtbeast937]

it actually sounds like a better idea to use the engine braking, and then have reverse. There is probably a reason most rtr's only have one gear.

How do you lock it in second gear? If its in second, can you have reverse?

[dirtbeast937]

how does the tekno kit work for you? and does it use the original clutch bell assembly?

[fatteruskissa]

the kit is awsome, except the velcro batt straps. they are rubbish.

i used the original clutch bell for a while, worked flawlessly!! i currently use a long schank pinion, works perfect to.

the kit is solid!

[simincek]

when you buy revo platinum is included receiver and transmittor?sorry for my english

[fatteruskissa]

no, there is no reciever and transmitter with the car.

but im planning to sell my revo. with trans/rec, brushless motor and nitro engine

[Airazz]

Your LiPo is not HardCase? Do ya know that LiPos explode if you make a hole on them? Small rock might beenough...

[fatteruskissa]

ive been using flightpower high end lipos for a long time now, never had any problems other than 1 cell that decided to just die... no explosion!!

[bryan350z2]

really stupid

[fatteruskissa]

yah. and fun!

[traxxasrc1]

nice im tring to decide if i want to convert my slayer into a electric or keep it nitro

[truth7od]

That was hot. I like the song, What's the title?

[atticusfinch13]

Chick Habit.

by... April March or something?

[fatteruskissa]

To easy

[rckid2200kv]

but cheeper

[rckid2200kv]

why didnt you just buy the E-REVO

[UNCgrad1234]

Did you have any trouble installing the motor? And what is the cost?

[fatteruskissa]

no problem what so ever with the tekno conversion kit. is a direct fit.

[NitrelRacing100]

what did you do with the left over parts from the nitro version?

[fatteruskissa]

gathering dust..

[NitrelRacing100]

haha you should put them up on rc universe

[bizarrozero]

hey i barely see u on the toyz anymore but why not sell the engine on ebay you can get like 130 bucks back on it :P

[fatteruskissa]

hey. maybe i will :D

ill be back at thetoyz with lots of pix soon :)

[bizarrozero]

sweet!! cant wait. yea my original revo project i had it was BB now im doing a BL setup just like yours. i see you have the tekno conversion... the battery holder does it hold the 5s good or is it like barely gripping it?? (velcrow) if its good do you think a 6s would fit in it aswell?

[fatteruskissa]

the batt tray is ok for 5s and 6s. the tekno velcro is not good. get some heavy duty velcro :)

[bizarrozero]

where do you get HD velcro that will fit in it?

[cornacchiazza]

why did you converted?

[fatteruskissa]

more power, less hazle, and less noise

[cornacchiazza]

perchè lo hai convertito?

[fatteruskissa]

oy...i dunno?

[zooro96]

kult

[vvapredator]

Why did you get 5S batteries insted 6S or 4S???

Your truck is completely awsome.

In my opinion the only thing I wouldn't do is use the Feigao motor. I think that the Neu / Castle 2200 KV is more powerful.

I have another question:

-Does is better to have the 19mm extended wheelbase kit or the RPM True Track A-Arm (If you know it)????

[fatteruskissa]

hi, the feigao did not like 6s. i fried it when i ran it on 6s, so now im running the neu/castle 2200kv combo. its fantastic!

i really like the handling that comes with the extended wheelbase. and ive only broken an arm once.

i also recomend steel gears for 6s power. ive rebuilt my tranny 3 times... dont wanna do that again. and the center diff is also a weak. its leaky, even with superthick diff lock lube innit

[vvapredator]

Does is necessary a kit for the single steering setup? I saw in the video that those steering parts are not the stock ones because are blue.

[fatteruskissa]

no you dont need the blue alu parts.

but i recomend it for a stronger and more durable setup.

[savageandrevo]

fin den

[fatteruskissa]

guys, i actually got the best of both worlds,

ive made a system that makes it possible to swap between brushless and nitro in less than 30 min!

this way i can run both nitro and lipo, as i like both!!

and i like the feel of the steel chassie over plastic e-revo.

a PE is a bit overkill for bashing.... i admit that ;)

[nitrotruggyracing147]

y the hell would u do that

[cars05man1]

because buying all the upgrades it comes with you would spend more than a regular revo.

[nitrotruggyracing147]

bt y would u ruin this gud nitro rc truck

[cars05man1]

because electric is the way to go now a days in some cases you can have more HP and you will have better torque spend less time tuning and better run times and LESS NOISE

[nitrotruggyracing147]

so wat who cares about the noise if u wanted to do this get an e revo

[cars05man1]

true but the revo is two speed and by the time you get the e-revo and got brushless and things you will pay more for it than converting it and selling the things you dont need after the conversion

[nitrotruggyracing147]

then get the e revo brushless

[cars05man1]

that is over 600 dollars and it doesnt come with the 2-speed

[nitrotruggyracing147]

so is the revo platnium and all that does is give u tork

[cars05man1]

first its spelled torque and second the revo chassis is much stronger than the e-revo chassis and its much easier to work on than the e-revo

[nitrotruggyracing147]

dude i know how to spell it dont wory about that then get the revo chassis it cant be that much and nothing is truly easy to work on

[MYNAMEISERIK88]

also, can i buy ur fiegao 8xl? pm me

[fatteruskissa]

the 8xl is fried. it did not like 6s lipo.

[MYNAMEISERIK88]

2k us dolars?

[fatteruskissa]

all in all.... yes. perhaps a bit more if u count all the bits n pieces, like the 2.4ghz system, lipos and charger, and starterbox for the nitro and a new castle-neu BL motor.

But i can be done way cheaper.

[CRAZY4RC303]

how much money did you put in that??

[fatteruskissa]

errr.. to much..

all in all with the new neu motor... over 2k?

[club4ghz]

chick habit hhahahahaha

[veggie106]

where did you get the revo?

[fatteruskissa]

i bought it at the local hobby store. the brushless parts i bought of the net

[erevopwns]

super gay music

[fatteruskissa]

rofl

its april march- chick habit.

taken from the not so gay movie, Death Proof by Quintin tarantino

[acekingie]

Sweet video. Sorry but i'm new to r/c, would you recommend a revo? 3.3 or platinum?

[fatteruskissa]

id recomend the 3.3 for bashing. its easy to upgrade later on....

and the revo 3.3 is an excellent truck to convert to brushless!

expensive tho..

[neo3nfsmw]

very nice !!!!!!!!

[fatteruskissa]

yes i do. just check my other videos.

there will be an onboard video soon

[traxxasrockhead]

do you have a video of it running?

[Parker565]

:(, its too bad you paid that much, when soon after the actuall e-revo was realeased.

[fatteruskissa]

yeah i know about the brushless e-revo.

but that would have been to easy ;)

[Parker565]

Nice ur like me, you would rather make it then have it done for you. :D
