REVO Single Speed Conversion
 
A question was asked on another forum, as to wether or not anyone makes a single speed conversion for the Revo. This sparked my interest, so I figured out the gear ratio's that would get me closest to a truggy's final drive ratio.

I did some reverse engineering, and machined a part that replaces the 2nd gear primary clutch. It is a direct drop in, no mods required, and we lose some weight. First gear is removed completely.

I actually machined a whole bunch of them after doing some R&D. PM me if you are interested.

Here is a pic;

Hey guys. I have one of these coming in the mail in the next few days and will document how the install goes. This seems to be a good alternative to notching the center clutch and taking some of the hastle (and work) out of the FOC.

One quick question, what screws are needed by the end user to do this mod?

I'm excited to test this out and hopefully get reverse!

The plate snaps into the back of the gear, and locks against the hardened pins. There are no holes to be drilled, no mods need to be done at all. The plate is pinned to the shaft in the same manner as the 2nd gear primary clutch is/was. http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k2...a/IMG_0162.jpg

Hi, This looks great and Im interested in getting some. I have two questions though. What did you end up with for a spur and clutch bell? How much is it?

Thanks

Dylan

Dylan, I am using 17/36 with close ratio right now, 15.06 final drive ratio. I will send you a PM in regard to your second question.

just got the package today! the piece is very nice, the instructions are straight forward (have had the trans apart a few times already so I could guess how it all went together) and the locker is a very nice part!

all in all well worth the small fee and a MUST HAVE for you Revo conversion guys. Great seller, quick shipping!

mkiiina, Thank you for the positive comments.

Hello,
How can I purchase this, and if you remove the first gear will the second gear be to high a ratio? or do you change to a lower primary? Thanks

This thread is 5 years old. You might want to think about PM'ing the OP with questions.

Check your PM's.

They are all gone. No interest in making more.
