ReV:-O

Hey guys,

I've just purchased an E-Revo 1/16 roller, and I have a few questions about what I wish to do with it.

I need to buy a motor/esc combo for it. I didn't get the Velineon system with it because I want something better, and a motor with higher kv.

I'm not really sure which combo to go for, there are a few good options, particularly from Castle Creations and Mtronics. I'd like to get a motor in the 6000-7000kv range, and a waterproof esc as I plan to be running in the wet.

There is also the option of the Tenbol mount, but I think a 540 motor will be too much for it, and the C of G will be too high to be drivable.

I also need to get some lipo's. I will be running two 3s lipo's in parallel, but I don't know what the dimensions of the battery tray is. So if anyone knows them, please share so that I can do some research.


I think that's about all the questions, many thanks for any help given!

I will probably get lipo's from Hobbyking as their Turnigy's are very cheap. Do you know the dimensions of the battery tray?

These are the 3Ss I run in mine. This is about the limit of the batt compartment, lipo can't be much bigger as this is tight on the height and width. Maybe could be a few more mm on length.

If you bought HK lipos before you know size will vary from the dimensions they show. A bud of mine bought these and his fit with no probs. I bought same lipos and I had to cut ~0.5 in of the rear of the batt door to get it latched. I get well over 30min run time with a pr of 1600s in parallel.
