Would it be possible to jam a Castle 2028 in my E-Revo with a little modification?

Your right, it does sound ridiculous.

Cool

A 1717 would already be a tight fit

No. Look at the size difference, the lower one is the stock motor size...



And besides, you would need to run like 10S, and I'm pretty sure you can't fit that on an E-revo either.

I think the question here is whether or not you can fit an E-Revo in a Castle 2028.

Going to need a emaxx dual motor mount (only use the upper mount, that may have the clearance needed still need custom mount holes most likely. That or make a custom mount plate that will accomidate. May need to run mod 1 gearing, ie get a mod 1 spur (nitro tmaxx maybe?)

PS a 1515 can shred the drive line, not sure even w/ the steel parts (ie all shafts center and axle) if it will hold up for more than a few minutes :P

The E-Revo does have a dual motor would the top one be good if I plugged the motor in backwards? Sorry but whats a mod 1 gearing or spur? (I'll look it up in the mean time) Never thought of that will definitely have to look into steel gears, I believe it comes with plastic ones?
