The new transmission features a Revo spec slipper assembly that can be used with spurs ranging from 54tooth (jato 3.3) upto 68tooth that comes as standard in 32p (MOD 0.8). An optional 2speed kit is available that reinstates 1st gear, with a choice of close and wide ratio gear sets top speed remains unaffected. The transmission comes locked into 2nd gear as standard, handy for those who use BL power in their trucks. The stock transmission has been greatly strengthened with the use of steel idler gears that are wider and stronger. In addition, when using either of these options, you are fairly limited to your battery mounting options, with only one side of the chassis free. If you choose option 2, which also applies to the TeknoRC option, you are also able to use a forwards only esc, such as a heli or boat model you may also need to use the PiStix item, which converts the radio signal into something the esc can understand, as aero escs use different signal patterns to car/truck escs. # Keep the 2spd, and use mechanical brakes # Lock the tranny into 2nd gear, and use motor braking via the esc When using the stock transmission & rcm mount, you have two options: When using the emaxx tranny, you essentially just have to dremel the chassis a little to mount it, then come up with some battery trays depending on what you plan to run exactly. # Stock revo tranny with TeknoRC (ImPaktRC) electri-clutch or standard pinion and motor mount # Stock revo tranny with RC-Monster motor mount #Ğmaxx tranny conversion (old or new model) As for the specific conversion route, there are a handul of nice options:

The 3.3 would be favourable since the longer wheelbase makes for better handling, and more room to mount the electronics etc. There are two options, the 2.5 and 3.3 spec revo chassis. It is also worth noting that the holes in the battery compartments for the battery wires to exit may not line up perfectly with the battery leads, where they exit the lipo/ nimh packs, so a little light modification may be required.

The BL Erevo has its MMM esc mounted in the best place to ensure the battery wires will reach- there are dual input connectors for running a pair of lipos in series ( no extra harness required ordinarily ). Up-top, the esc and radio are mounted on the battery compartments, a clever idea since there is plenty of room this way, but locating the esc in the correct place is critical as the battery leads may not reach if they are a little short. There is a fairly simple fix for this though & requires minimal modification a spare suspension tie-rod can be bolted to the base of the wing mount & then bolted to a small plate attached over the rear shock-tower, thus stiffening up the chassis greatly. One potential weak area that has become apparent is the rear portion of the chassis that links to the bulkheads is prone to excessive flex if you jump the truck or bash hard.

Although the chassis is made from plastic so far there it has proven itself to be a quite robust design, thanks largely to the clever and rather beautiful skid plate that runs the full length of the chassis underside, tying it together with the bulks and skids. In theory this sounds fine, but in reality if you are using a powerful BL motor and esc setup, you are forced into buying pricey high spec packs made from Enerland cells you may not get such good results from over spec'd cheap Chinese cells that perform well with stock electronics or lower powered BL systems. 7 cell side by side nimh packs fit fine, but you are restricted to 8000mah 2s, or 5000mah 3s lipo packs. The downside is that you are rather limited on the type and size of batteries that you can use.

Stock E-revo uses a monocoque type molded chassis with integrated battery compartments, greatly increasing the overall strength and rigidity of the truck.
