converting my revo 3.3 to brushless.

[ls1fst98]

was looking at getting the integy mount with gear kit. want to run on 5 or 6s and be pretty quick. would a feigao 9xl be do able? any one have experience in these on here?

Is there something wrong with the 3.3?

[ls1fst98]

not really, just tired of the mess and what not associated with nitro. It's a 3.3 chassis with the OS18 in it. A few friends have brushless trucks and they are awesome.

I know they mamba monster (a castle motor) is what is commonly used as an upgrade in them... maybe check see i know they have an esc/motor kit for ~ 200...

I was going to offer to buy the motor if it was a stock 3.3..

[ls1fst98]

Gotcha I'll look into that as well. Sorry not a stock 3.3 but the upgraded os18. It's a strong engine.

i guess i need the equivalent of a 1515 1y or just spring the cash for the mamba monster motor and esc. thought maybei could do it for cheaper but.

you could get a Leopard 3674 or 4082 2200kv about $70 with a speedo from HobbyKing less than $70

killer performance, and no different than the $300 Monster system

awesome! that looks like the route i may be taking.

Here is the matching motor for that esc for 50-bucks. Looks like another castle/leopard clone. Can't beat the price!

Sweet..
the kv is a little high, but on 4s would work :thumbup1:

I was thinking of using that setup in the slash 4x4 on 3s????

That would be faster than the stock VXL on 2s :thumbup1:

Honestly , you may be better off selling the Revo , and getting either a e-revo roller and building it up to your liking or a erbe all together. I love my erbe (e-revo brushless edition). She has turned out to be one of the best basher trucks I have owned. And let me say Ive put it through its paces and then some. There are some who bash the "plastic" chassis" but I personally have never had a single issue with it , and I have jumped flipped and tumbled this poor truck to the edge. Since you are NOT new to the RC world then I dont have to tell you RPM rules. My erbe has some upgrades to her , like single servo mod , traxxas 7075 pushrods , rpm trutack in the rear , rpm up front , spektrum radio system (Traxxas 2.4 does the job but like my spektrum better), and a few other mods

I have a revo 3.3 that has less than 3/4 of a gallon of fuel though it. Ball bearings came out of the front main bearing on engine. I was thinking a brushless setup would be neat. I like having the aluminum chassis vs the plastic one on the e-revos. And I have upgrades on this chassis already.
Red tie & push rods, extended A arms for longer wheelbase, sway bars,wing Gemini black chrome wheels and other stuff.

I hear the nitros make great conversions to brushless :thumbup1:
